Hannibal Lecter: Would you ever say to me "Stop. If you love me, stop?"
Clarice Starling: Not in a thousand years.
Hannibal Lecter: "Not in a thousand years"... That's my girl. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: [in a letter to Clarice] Your job is to craft my doom, so I am not sure how well I should wish you. But I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun. Ta-ta, "H." (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Dear Clarice, I have followed with enthusiasm the course of your disgrace and public shaming. My own never bothered me, except for the inconvenience of being incarcerated. But you may lack perspective. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Given the chance, you would deny me my life, wouldn't you?
Clarice Starling: Not your life.
Hannibal Lecter: Just my freedom. You'd take that from me. (Ace Goodman)

Clarice Starling: I'll cut you loose. If you touch me, I'll shoot you.
Hannibal Lecter: Understood.
Clarice Starling: Do right, and you'll live through this.
Hannibal Lecter: Spoken like a true Protestant. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Now you're being rude, and I hate rude people. (Ace Goodman)
Allegra Pazzi: Dr. Fell, do you believe a man could become so obsessed with a woman, from a single encounter?
Hannibal Lecter: Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for her and find nourishment in the very sight of her? I think so. But would she see through the bars of his plight and ache for him? (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Are you by any chance trying to trace my whereabouts, you naughty girl? (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: ...would they have you back, you think? The FBI? Those people you despise almost as much as they despise you. Would they give you a medal, Clarice, do you think? Would you have it professionally framed and hang it on your wall to look at and remind you of your courage and incorruptibility? All you would need for that, Clarice, is a mirror. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Is this Clarice? Why, hello Clarice. (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: I have immunity from the Justice Department, and I have immunity from the Risen Jesus. And nobody beats the Riz! (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Okie dokie, let's drag these down. They must be as heavy as bodies. (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: Tell me, Cordell, to you does that look like a wave goodbye... or hello? (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: I guess now you wish you would've fed the rest of me to the dogs.
Hannibal Lecter: No, Mason, I much prefer you the way you are. (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: I might be able to get a cookie now, what do you think, Cordell?
Cordell Doemling: I think it would kill you. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Good evening, Clarice! Just like old times.
Clarice Starling: Shut up. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: I came halfway around the world to watch you run, Clarice. Let me run, eh? (Ace Goodman)
Paul Krendler: Who's agent Starling?
Hannibal Lecter: Paul, I told you, if you're going to be rude to our guests you'll have to sit at the kiddie table. (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: It seemed like a good idea at the time. (Ace Goodman)
Clarice Starling: How did he end up at your house?
Mason Verger: I invited him of course... to my pied-à-terre. I came to the door in my nicest come-hither outfit. I was concerned... that he'd be afraid of me. But he didn't seem to be. Afraid of me. That's almost funny now. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: Mason, would you like a popper? (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: Now *that's* entertainment! (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: "Io fei gibetto de le mei case." I made my own home be my gallows. (Ace Goodman)
Mason Verger: You know, I thank God for what happened. It was my salvation. Have you accepted Jesus, Agent Starling? Do you have faith?
Clarice Starling: I was raised Lutheran.
Mason Verger: That's not what I asked. (Ace Goodman)
Hannibal Lecter: People don't always say what they're thinking... they just see to it that you don't advance in life. (Ace Goodman)
