Red Dragon (2002 film) Quotes

Harvey Keitel as Jack Crawford

• (Mr. Fisk) "Mr. Crawford, all you got is a hunch. I got three-hundred-eighty-two employees, and they got a union. I can't just turn you guys loose on their files, not without a court order. There are privacy issues here, and the company's exposure."
• (Harvey Keitel) "One of those employees has already killed eleven people that we know of. If he gets away tonight, what is the company's exposure on that?"

• (Harvey Keitel) "If that painting meant so much to him, why destroy it? And why didn't he kill those two women at the museum? They both got a good look at him."
• (Edward Norton) "Maybe he's trying to stop."

• (Harvey Keitel) "What do you suppose he meant by "see them living"?"
• (Edward Norton) "I don't know. I don't know, maybe nothing. It's hard to separate his bulls***."

• (Harvey Keitel) "How much do you know?"
• (Edward Norton) "Just what was in the Miami Herald and the Times. Two families killed a month apart in their homes -- Birmingham and Atlanta. Circumstances were similar."
• (Harvey Keitel) "Not similar, the same."

Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter

• (Anthony Hopkins) "I'll call you if I think of anything else, would you perhaps like to leave me your home phone number?"

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Ah yes Dr. Chillton. Gruesome isn't he? Fumbles at your head like a freshman pulling at a panty girdle."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Do you like my little exercise cage, Will? My so-called lawyer is always nagging Dr. Chilton for better accommodations. I don't know which is the greater fool."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Think to yourself that every day is your last. The hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise. As for me, when you want a good laugh, you will find me in fine state, fat and sleek, a true hog of Epicurus's herd."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "First he kills the pet, and then the family. Freddy was your pet, Will."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "And be grateful. Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "My dear Will, you must be healed by now -- on the outside at least, I hope you're not too ugly. What a collection of scars you have. Never forget who gave you the best of them, and be grateful, our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real. We live in a primitive time, don't we, Will? Neither savage nor wise. Half measures are the curse of it, any rational society will either kill me or put me to some use. Do you dream much, Will? I think of you often. Your old friend, Hannibal Lector."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "And how is the young Josh and the lovely Molly? They're always in my thoughts, you know."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Shh. Don't move. You're in shock now. I don't want you to feel any pain. In a moment, you'll begin to feel light-headed, then drowsy. Don't resist, it's so gentle, like slipping into a warm bath. I regret it came to this, Will, but every game must have its ending."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Tell me, Will. Did you enjoy it? Your first murder? Of course you did. And why shouldn't it feel good? It does to God. Why only last week in Texas, he dropped a church roof on the heads of 34 of his worshippers, just as they were groveling for him. He wouldn't begrudge you for one Journalist."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Beneath the yellow folder, you'll find your latest rejection slip from the archives. It was brought to me by mistake with some of my archives mail. I'm afraid I opened it without looking. Sorry."
• (Anthony Heald) "I think we'll remove Dr. Lecter's toilet seat as well"

• (Anthony Hopkins) "A robin red-breast in a cage, puts all of Heaven in a rage. Think to yourself that every day is your last. The hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise. As for me, when you want a good laugh, you will find me in fine state -- fat and sleek, a true hog of Epicurus's herd."

• (Anthony Hopkins) "Have you seen blood in the moonlight? It appears quite black."

• (Philip Seymour Hoffman) "No. And I don't want to know. Believe me."

• (Newsie) "You again? Come back at 4am, when I open, all right?"
• (Newsie) "Hey, hey, I told you --"
• (Ralph Fiennes) "What? You told me what?"

• (Ralph Fiennes) "I am the Dragon. And you call me insane. You are privy to a great becoming, but you recognize nothing. To me, you are a slug in the sun. You are an ant in the afterbirth. It is your nature to do one thing correctly. Before me, you rightly tremble. But, fear is not what you owe me. YOU OWE ME AWE."

Edward Norton as Will Graham

• (Edward Norton) "He's not going to stop."
• (Woman Detective) "Why not?"
• (Edward Norton) "Because it makes him God. Would you give that up?"

• (Edward Norton) "Your cell looks bigger with no books in it."

• (Edward Norton) "No, I know I'm not smarter than you."

• (Edward Norton) "You write lying s***, Lounds, and the "Tattler" is an ass wipe."

• (Edward Norton) "I need your opinion now."
• (Anthony Hopkins) "Then here's one -- you stink of fear under that cheap lotion. You stink of fear Will, but you're not a coward. You fear me, but still you came here. You fear this shy boy, yet still you seek him out. Don't you understand, Will? You caught me because we're very much alike. Without our imaginations, we'd be like all those other poor -- dullards. Fear -- is the price of our instrument. But I can help you bear it."

Frank Whaley as Ralph Mandy

• (Frank Whaley) "Reba, listen -- I know it's not my place to say this --"
• (Emily Watson) "Go on."

Anthony Heald as Dr. Frederick Chilton

• (Edward Norton) "No."
• (Anthony Heald) "Let me be frank, Mr. Graham. The first definitive analysis of Lecter will be a publisher's wet dream. I'd give you full credit, of course"
• (Anthony Heald) "Dammit, man, you must have some advice. You caught him. What was your trick?"

• (Anthony Heald) "I'll tell her you said no."
• (Anthony Hopkins) "-- what is her name?"

• (Anthony Heald) "As a research subject, Lecter has proven most disappointing. He's simply impenetrable to psychological testing. Rorschach, Thematic Apperception -- he folds them into origamis, as you can see."

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Freddy Lounds

• (Philip Seymour Hoffman) "Will you let me go now?"
• (Ralph Fiennes) "Soon. There is one more way I can help you to better understand."

• (Edward Norton) "We tried sodium amatol on him three years ago to find where he buried a Princeton student; he gave them a recipe for dip."
