Hannibal, Season 1

Abel Gideon:
[getting ready to operate on a still-conscious Frederick Chilton] With experience, I have found surgeries are best performed on a local anesthetic or epidural with the patient awake. Reminds me there' a real person here entrusting me with their life rather than a lump of meat that I'm about to reorganize. And in this instance, I would like to see the look on your face.

Frederick Chilton:
Please, you're not the Chesapeake Ripper.

Abel Gideon:
You got inside my mind, Frederick. It's only fair I get inside your belly. This is of course Freddie Lounds, who you know. She will be assisting me today or assisting you by manually pumping the ventilator should you stop breathing.

Frederick Chilton:
Oh, my God.

Abel Gideon:
The real Chesapeake Ripper is a collector of surgical trophies. I'm gonna leave him a little gift. In fact, I'm gonna leave him a gift basket. [removing some of Chilton's non-vital organs] You know, it is truly amazing how many organs the body can offer up before it really begins to suffer. [Chilton drifts out of consciousness; Gideon slaps him] All right, stay awake now! Come on, Frederick. I'm gonna ask you to hold a few things.
