The hardest part of this job is learning that it is not about you.

Krendler [to Clarice]

Krendler: People find a way to heal old wounds.
Clarice: Even if it's the wrong way, sir?

The Bureau picks who it wants to shine the light on and it's not people who look like us.

Haynes [to Ardelia]

Do not tell me to slow down. You catch up.

Clarice [to Tripathi]

I know one of you is a sociopath whisperer and one of you is a sharpshooter but you might want someone with 10 years in the Bureau to ride shotgun.

Tripathi [to Clarice and Esquivel]

Tripathi: Are you going to ask a question.
Esquivel: I'm a mutt, OK? Cuban, Brazilian, and Italian. Two shrugs and an eyebrow is an entire conversation.

Herman: We can protect you.
Clarice: Respectfully, sir, I didn't ask for your protection.

Krendler: Herman's Bureau. We're all Bureau. Same team.
Clarke: No, Herman is on Team Douche. Five minutes into the investigation and he's moved into your office. I'm not on Team Douche.
Tripathi: No, you're on Team Poetry.

Herman: I thought this ViCAP team has anointed. You catch killers. I thought that was your whole thing.
Clarke: Tony, don't be a dick.
