[Will's not the one who would take Chilton being the opposite of a gentleman as such a grave insult. Hannibal surely found him obnoxious at times, as he's sure Chilton did if he's ridden out the gravy train of being Will Graham's secretary.]
If he hadn't been talking about killing Alana Bloom in the style of the Ripper, he wouldn't have had to recover from anything. [This is a big fat lie. He would have shot him no matter what he said, seeing Garret Jacob Hobbs and all. The bit about being him was too much, but seeing that face saying anything? It wouldn't have mattered what Gideon said. Will's fortunate that Gideon's tongue-pulling spree afforded him a free pass when it came to having shot him in the head. Which he has, of course, lied about since coming here.] More remarkable that you feel you have to defend your lack of action. Anyone who thinks you'd be capable of wielding whatever was used to saw a leg clean off is a blind moron. Of course I "know" that, Frederick. I'd say we could argue that you'd helped wield whatever sawed Miriam Lass' arm clean off, but that wouldn't be an argument. We both had a part in that one.
[Freddie Lounds had her uses after all. And, ah, since the man who'd be discomforted isn't around, why not?]
You might say I have as much of a leg to stand on as you would if we tried to get into that one.
