The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Movie Quotes: By Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). If I help you, Clarice, it will be "turns" with us too. Quid pro quo. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no? ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Well, Clarice - have the lambs stopped screaming? ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). First principles, Clarice. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek? ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes moving over your body, Clarice? And don't your eyes seek out the things you want? ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Amputate a man's leg and he can still feel it tickling. Tell me, mum, when your little girl is on the slab, where will it tickle you? ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Five foot ten, strongly built, about a hundred and eighty pounds; hair blonde, eyes pale blue. He'd be about thirty-five now. He said he lived in Philadelphia, but he may have lied. That's all I can remember, mum, but if I think of any more, I will let you know. Oh, and Senator, just one more thing: love your suit! ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs...And you think if you save poor Catherine, you could make them stop, don't you? You think if Catherine lives, you won't wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the lambs...Thank you, Clarice. Thank you. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Why do you think he removes their skins, Agent Starling? Enthrall me with your acumen. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). You're very frank, Clarice. I think it would be quite something to know you in private life. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Look for severe childhood disturbances associated with violence. Our Billy wasn't born a criminal, Clarice. He was made one through years of systematic abuse. Billy hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a transsexual. But his pathology is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Closer, please. Clo-ser... ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). People will say we're in love. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). All good things to those who wait. ~ Hannibal Lecter, The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

But are you strong enough to point that high-powered perception at yourself? What about it? Why don't you - why don't you look at yourself and write down what you see? Or maybe you're afraid to. ~ Clarice Starling, The Silence of the Lambs (1991). It matters, Mr Crawford. Cops look at you to see how to act. It matters. ~ Clarice Starling, The Silence of the Lambs (1991).
