** Then guilt-tripping her that she "technically" killed him, after pulling out a knife Hannibal stuck in his brain.

** Bedelia drops an oblique hint about Hannibal eating her to their guest Anthony Dimmond:

'''Anthony''': [[EuropeansAreKinky Is it that kind of party?]] \\
'''Hannibal''': ''([[{{Beat}} after looking at Bedelia as if asking, "Is it?"]].)'' It's not that kind of party. \\

'''Anthony''': Shame.

--->'''Hannibal''': ''[{{Beat}}]'' I'm trying.

(Carlo looks on in silence.)\\

---> '''Mason''': [Hannibal] likes music, he likes wine, he likes food and he likes you. How did you taste? Sweet, I bet. I'm sure you got a taste of him, too. '''Spitters are quitters, and you don't strike me as a quitter''', Dr. Bloom.

--->'''Alana''': [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough I'd have to be a fool.]] ''(AnswerCut to [[ButtMonkey Chilton]] interviewing Hannibal)''

----> '''Mason:''' Eat my... ''(He taps his nose.)'' Eat my nose? ''(He pauses briefly as if pondering it, then begins slices his nose off and eats it whilst Hannibal and Will watch.)'' I have a taste and consistency to that of a chicken gizzard.

----> '''Mason''' ''(burps)'': [[Pun I'm full of myself!]] ''(He starts to laugh maniacally.)''

----> '''Hannibal''' ''(in a very casual and even chipper tone)''': Eat your nose, then.
----> '''Mason:''' Eat my... ''(He taps his nose.)'' Eat my nose? ''(He pauses briefly as if pondering it, then begins to slice his nose off.)''

--->'''Mason''': The swine may be shy, with starting with the toes, so we need to encourage them (In ridiculous Italian accent to Carlo) ''with a little-a sauce, eh?''\\

** Hannibal and Will [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch-fk58J08w enter a stable]] to see a man carefully stitching a dead horse's abdomen shut. Also CrazyAwesome by the fact that Hugh Dancy manages to deliver the line completely straight:

** One must wonder how Bryan Fuller [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar got away]] with Mason Verger's constant references to Alana's former sexual relationship with Hannibal. Fuller [[https://twitter.com/BryanFuller/status/616805325388271617 was cracking up]] when he wrote that line:

** GettingCrapPastTheRadar with Alana and Hannibal:

-->'''Hannibal:''' How does that make you feel?
-->'''Will:''' [[DeadpanSnarker How's it make]] ''[[DeadpanSnarker you]]'' [[DeadpanSnarker feel?]]

--> '''Hannibal:''' Have you thought about applying to schools?
--> '''Abigail:''' My dad killed girls at all the schools I applied to.
--> '''Hannibal:''' ''({{beat}})'' Perhaps later, then.

-->'''Chilton:''' I've read your notes, of course. They were more or less helpful, as I conducted my own interviews with Dr. Gideon over the years.
-->'''Alana:''' (''very dryly'') Well, I'm glad I was helpful.
-->'''Will:''' [[DeadpanSnarker More or less.]]

--> [[spoiler: '''Tobias:''' I was looking ''forward'' to that!]]

-->'''Will:''' He knew her. Someone who cared about her, or thought he did.
-->'''Beverly:''' [[{{Yandere}} He cared too much.]]
-->'''Jack:''' So, we're looking for boyfriends, ex-boyfriends, coworkers, [[TheDogWasTheMastermind the guy who bags her groceries.]]

--->'''Hannibal:''' Hello. I love your work.

--->'''Killer:''' There is no God.
--->'''Hannibal:''' Certainly not with ''that'' attitude.

--> '''Will:''' You're Hannibal Lecter's therapist. ''([[{{Beat}} very long beat]])'' What's ''that'' like?

--->'''Matthew:''' Did you know the phrase to 'kick the bucket' came from exactly this situation? You could kick it out right now yourself and it'd all be over. Quicker than bleeding out.
--->'''Hannibal:''' You're a nurse at the hospital... Are you setting a new standard of care?

--->'''Hannibal:''' What brings you to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane?
--->'''Freddie:''' I am interviewing Will Graham, at his request. Imagine that.
--->'''Hannibal:''' ''({{Beat}})'' I'm trying.

--->'''Chilton:''' May I use your shower, please?

--->'''Chilton:''' Abel Gideon is half eaten in my guest room. I have corpses on my property. You just threw up an ear!

---> '''Will:''' [[ARareSentence Peter, is your social worker in that horse?]]

--->'''Hannibal:''' Mr. Ingram. ''(man spins around)'' Might want to crawl back in there if you know what's good for you.

--->'''Hannibal:''' [[StealthPun You slice]] [[DoubleMeaning the ginger]].

---> '''Hannibal:''' Dante wrote that fear is almost as bitter as death. \\
'''Bedelia:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Dante wasn't dead when he wrote it.]]

'''Anthony:''' [[EuropeansAreKinky Is it that kind of party?]] \\
'''Hannibal:''' ([[{{Beat}} After looking at Bedelia as if asking, "Is it?"]]) It's not that kind of party. \\
'''Bedelia:''' No. It really isn't. \\
'''Anthony:''' Shame.

---> '''Hannibal:''' It’s only cannibalism if we’re equals.

---> '''Mason:''' [Hannibal] likes music, he likes wine, he likes food and he likes you. How did you taste? Sweet, I bet. I'm sure you got a taste of him, too. '''Spitters are quitters, and you don't strike me as a quitter''', Dr. Bloom.

-->'''Chilton:''' You’ve made this dessert for me before.\\
'''Hannibal:''' One of my favourite desserts. Traditionally made with pig’s blood, in this case, a local cow.\\
'''Chilton:''' And when you last made it for me?\\
'''Hannibal:''' The blood was from a cow, only in a derogatory sense.

--->'''Freddie:''' You did [[NotWhatItLooksLike run off to Europe together]].

--->'''Hannibal:''' You've come to wag your finger?
--->'''Alana:''' Oh, I ''love'' a good finger-wagging.
--->'''Hannibal:''' Yes you do. [{{Beat}}] [[LesYay How is Margot?]]

--->'''Alana:''' [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough I'd have to be a fool.]] ''(AnswerCut to [[ButtMonkey Chilton]] interviewing Hannibal)''

--->'''Lara Jean Chorostecki (playing Freddie Lounds):''' This is possibly the finest salad I've ever eaten in my life. Shame to ruin it with all that meat.
--->'''Mikkelsen:''' Shut up, bitch.

-->'''Alana:''' [[WhoWouldBeStupidEnough I'd have to be a fool.]] ''(AnswerCut to [[ButtMonkey Chilton]] interviewing Hannibal)''

-->'''Gideon''': You can come closer, Dr. Lecter. I'm a cutter, not a pisser.

-->'''Hannibal:''' What brings you to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane?
-->'''Freddie:''' I am interviewing Will Graham, at his request. Imagine that.

--> ...cash, one hard candy covered in murderer's lint, one silver cockring, one rusted cockring...

-> "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

** It's BlackComedy, but Hannibal calling out "One moment, please!" in the most non-nonchalant way possible to FBI agents at the door while drugging and choking Chilton is somewhat hysterical.

'''Hannibal:''' ({{Beat}}) It's not that kind of party. \\

*** The entire sequence with Mason's [[spoiler:drugging and cutting of his own face, especially when we see the hallucianations from his point of view]], does a very good job straddling the line between CrowningMomentOfFunny and NightmareFuel, with a dash of what can be seen as either {{Narm}} or NarmCharm. It's probably the very height of ''Hannibal'''s BlackComedy -- the actual events make it on one hand ''extremely'' disturbing, but at the same time it's an oddly hilarious sequence because of the atmosphere that Michael Pitt's performance and the background music give.

* The scene when Starling is listening to tapes being recorded of her sessions with Hannibal. Krendler decides to be a jerk and ogle a nude sketch Hannibal drew of Starling in the letter he sent her, not knowing Starling is in the room with her with the lights barely on. Just to troll him, she yanks her headphones out of the recorder, causing Hannibal's Voice to echo in the loud speakers scaring the living crap out of Krendler.

** Will, being a hyper-empath, knows the man is a tragic victim of brain damage and gently escorts him away. Hannibal, being a MagnificentBastard, has the odd thought that said social worker is not necessarily just because he's been sewn up inside of a dead horse, and sticks around long enough to watch (with a face that is ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLHuV545R9E pure gold]]'') as a serial killer laboriously crawls out of said dead horse, then delivers the most hilarious line of the episode.

** Hannibal and Will [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch-fk58J08w enter a stable]] to see a man carefully stitching a dead horse's abdomen shut. Also made CrazyAwesome by the fact that Hugh Dancy manages to deliver the line completely straight:

*** The dish is garnished to perfection by Mads Mikkelsen's sublime acting; you can literally ''see'' Hannibal's thoughts peek through his impassive mask; "This is fucked up even for ''me'' and '''Bitch, I eat people!'''"

--->'''Hannibal:''' Might want to crawl back in there if you know what's good for you.

** Hannibal watches (with a face that is ''pure gold'') as a serial killer laboriously crawls out of a dead horse, then delivers the most hilarious line of the episode.
-->'''Hannibal:''' You might want to crawl back in there if you know what's good for you.
** Some of the funniest moments are when Hannibal's thoughts peek through his impassive mask. In this case, he's clearly thinking, "this is fucked up even for me."
** Close competition for most hilarious line of the episode, made CrazyAwesome by the fact that Hugh Dancy manages to deliver the line completely straight:
---> '''Will:''' Peter, is your social worker inside that horse?
*** Made even better by Hannibal's reactionary shot, a stoic version of "WTF?"//

* "And the Woman Clothed with the Sun": Freddie officially dubbed Hannibal and Will "[[AscendedMeme murder husbands]]."
