No one is the same as Hannibal. That is half his anguish.
[He doesn't say my Hannibal. He does not claim possession.]
But that doesn't mean there are not similarities. You watch how he looks at his queen, the one you had just insulted, you watch that and then try to tell me you're not just an amusement to pass the time while he pines for her.
[A beat. Quietly:] I would rather spare you that humiliation.
