A scene from Manhunter 1986
Hannibal Lecktor

You want to know how he's choosing them, don't you?

Will Graham

I thought you might have some ideas.

Hannibal Lecktor

Why should I tell you?

Will Graham

You'd get to see the file on this case. And there's another reason.

Hannibal Lecktor

Pray tell.

Will Graham

I thought you might be curious to see if you're smarter than the person I'm looking for.

Hannibal Lecktor

Then, by implication, you think you're smarter than me, since you caught me.

Will Graham

No. I know that I'm not smarter than you.

Hannibal Lecktor

Then how did you catch me?

Will Graham

You had disadvantages.

Hannibal Lecktor

What disadvantages?

Will Graham

You're insane.
