"(PEOPLE chattering)" "... sothereshouldn'tbe any problem if you could..." "You looking for Crawford?" "Yes, sir." "He should be back in a couple minutes." "Why don't you wait in his office?" "Okay." "And I think they were over in Flushing..." "Starling," "Clarice M. Good morning." "Good morning, Mr. Crawford." "Sorry to pull you off of the course at such short notice." "Your instructors tell me you're doing well." "Top quarter of your class." "I hope so." "They haven't posted any grades yet." "A job's come up, and I thought about you." "Not a job, really." "More of an interesting errand." "Sit down." "Yes, sir." "I remember you from my seminar at UVA." "You grilled me pretty hard, as I recall, on the Bureau's civil rights record in the Hoover years." "I gave you an "A."" "A-minus, sir." "Let's see." "Double major, psych and criminology." "Graduated magna." "Summer internships at the Reitzinger Clinic." "It says here when you graduate, you want to come to work for me in Behavioral Science." "Yes, very much, sir." "Very much." "We're interviewing all the serial killers now in custody for a psycho-behavioral profile." "It could be a real help in unsolved cases." "Most of them have been happy to talk to us." "Do you spook easily, Starling?" "Not yet, sir." "See, the one we want most, refuses to cooperate." "I want you to go after him again today in the asylum." "And who's the subject?" "The psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter." "Hannibal the Cannibal." "I don't expect him to talk to you, but I have to be able to say we tried." "So if he won't cooperate, I want just straight reporting." "How's he look?" "How's his cell look?" "is he sketching, drawing?" "If he is, what's he sketching?" "Here's a dossier on Lecter." "A copy of our questionnaire and a special id for you." "Have your memo on my desk by 0800 Wednesday." "Okay." "Excuse me, sir, but why the urgency?" "Lecter's been in prison for so many years now." "is there some connection between him and Buffalo Bill maybe?" "I wish there were." "I want your full attention, Starling." "Yes, sir." "Be very careful with Hannibal Lecter." "Dr. Chilton at the asylum will go over all the physical procedures used with him." "Do not deviate from them for any reason whatsoever, and you're to tell him nothing personal, Starling." "Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head." "Just do your job, but never forget what he is." "And what is that?" "CHlLTON:" "Oh, he's a monster." "A pure psychopath." "So rare to capture one alive." "From a research point of view," "Lecter is our most prized asset." "Well." "You know, we get a lot of detectives here, but I must say, I can't ever remember one as attractive." "Will you be in Baltimore overnight?" "Because this can be quite a fun town if you have the right guide." "Well, I'm sure this is a great town, Dr. Chilton, but, uh, my instructions are to talk to Dr. Lecter and report back this afternoon." "I see." "Let's make this quick, then." "We've tried to study him, of course, but he's much too sophisticated for the standard tests." "Oh, my, does he hate us!" "He thinks I'm his nemesis." "Crawford's very clever, isn't he?" "Using you." "CLARlCE:" "What do you mean, sir?" "A pretty young woman to turn him on." "I don't believe Lecter's even seen a woman in eight years." "And, oh, are you ever his taste." "So to speak." "I graduated from UVA, Doctor." "It is not a charm school." "Good." "Then you should be able to remember the rules." "(MAN shouting)" "Do not touch the glass." "Do not approach the glass." "You pass him nothing but soft paper." "No pencils or pens." "No staples or paper clips on his paper." "Use the sliding food carrier." "No exceptions." "If he attempts to pass you anything, do not accept it." "Do you understand me?" "Yes, I understand, sir." "(BUZZER buzzing) I'm going to show you why we insist on such precautions." "On the afternoon of July 8, 1 981 , he complained of chest pains and was taken to the dispensary." "His mouthpiece and restraints were removed for an EKG." "When the nurse leaned over him, he did this to her." "The doctors managed to reset her jaw, more or less, save one of her eyes." "His pulse never got above 85, even when he ate her tongue." "I keep him in here." "Dr. Chilton." "If Lecter feels that you're his enemy, then, uh, well, maybe we'll have more luck if I go in by myself." "What do you think?" "(BEEPlNG)" "You might have suggested this in my office and saved me the time." "Yes, sir, but then I..." "I would have missed the pleasure of your company, sir." "When she's finished, bring her out." "Hi. I'm Barney." "He told you, don't get near the glass?" "Yes, he did." "Clarice Starling." "Mmm-hmm." "Nice to meet you, Clarice." "You can hang your coat up here if you like." "Thank you. I will." "He's past the others." "The last cell." "You keep to the right." "I put out a chair for you." "Oh, yes." "That's very good." "Thank you." "I'll be watching." "You'll do fine." "Inmate:" "Hi." "I can smell your cunt." "Good morning." "Dr. Lecter, my name is Clarice Starling." "May I speak with you?" "You're one of Jack Crawford's, aren't you?" "I am, yes, sir." "May I see your credentials?" "Certainly." "Closer, please." "Closer." "That expires in one week." "You're not real fbi, are you?" "I'm still in training at the Academy." "Jack Crawford sent a trainee to me?" "Yes. I'm a student." "I'm here to learn from you." "Maybe you can decide for yourself whether or not I'm qualified enough to do that." "Mmm." "That is rather slippery of you, Agent Starling." "Sit, please." "Now, then." "Tell me, what did Miggs say to you?" "Multiple Miggs in the next cell." "He hissed at you." "What did he say?" "He said, "l can smell your cunt."" "I see." "I myself cannot." "(lNHALlNG)" "You use Evyan skin cream." "And sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps, but not today." "Did you do all these drawings, Doctor?" "Ah !" "That is the Duomo, seen from the Belvedere." "You know Florence?" "All that detail just from memory, sir?" "Memory, Agent Starling, is what I have instead of a view." "Well, perhaps you'd care to lend us your view on this questionnaire, sir." "Oh, no, no, no, no." "You were doing fine." "You had been courteous and receptive to courtesy." "You had established trust with the embarrassing truth about Miggs." "And now this ham-handed segue into your questionnaire." "(clicking TONGUE) lt won't do." "I'm only asking you to look at this, Doctor." "Either you will or you won't." "Yeah." "Jack Crawford must be very busy indeed, if he is recruiting help from the student body." "Busy hunting that new one, Buffalo Bill." "What a naughty boy he is." "Do you know why he's called Buffalo Bill?" "Please tell me." "The newspapers won't say." "Well, it started as a bad joke in Kansas City Homicide." "They said, "This one likes to skin his humps."" "Why do you think he removes their skins," "Agent Starling?" "Enthrall me with your acumen." "It excites him." "Most serial killers keep some sort of trophies from their victims." "I didn't." "No." "No, you ate yours." "You send that through now." "Hmm." "Oh, Agent Starling, you think you can dissect me with this blunt, little tool?" "No." "I..." "I thoughtthat your knowledge..." "You're so ambitious, aren't you?" "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 has 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." "(lN SOUTHERN ACCENT) What does your father do?" "is he a coal miner?" "Does he stink of the lamp?" "And, oh, 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." "You see a lot, Doctor." "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?" "Maybe you're afraid to." "(THUDDlNG)" "A census-taker once tried to test me." "I ate his liver with some fava beans, and a nice Chianti." "(HlSSlNG)" "You fly back to school now, little Starling."

"Agent Starling !" "Agent Starling !" "I would not have had that happen to you." "Discourtesy is unspeakably ugly to me." "Then do this test for me." "No, but I will make you happy." "I'll give you a chance for what you love most." "And what is that, Doctor?" "Advancement, of course." "Now listen carefully." "Look deep within yourself, Clarice Starling." "Go seek out Miss Mofet, an old patient of mine." "M-o-f-e-t." "Go now." "Doctor." "I don't think Miggs could manage again quite so soon, even though he is crazy." "Go now!" "(lNMATES screaming)" "(birds chirping)" "Hey, Bill." "Hey." "Daddy!" "Hey, Clarice." "How are you?" "Did you get any bad guys today, Daddy?" "No, angel, they all got away." "Aw, shoot."

"Breaking doors or windows to enter or exit." "Rule 404..." "(PHONE ringing)" "Clarice, phone." "It's the guru." "Crawford?" "Yeah." "Thanks, Ardelia." "Starling?" "CLARICE:" "Sir?" "Miggs is dead." "Dead?" "How?" "The orderly heard Lecter whispering to him all afternoon, and Miggs crying." "They found him at bed check." "He'd swallowed his own tongue." "Starling?" "Yeah, I'm..." "I'm still here, sir." "I just..." "I don'tknow how to feel about this." "You don't have to feel any way about it." "Lecter did it to amuse himself." "Look, I know it got ugly today, but you mentioned a name at the end." "Mofet." "Any follow-up on her?" "Uh, well, Lecter altered or destroyed most of his patients' histories prior to capture, so there's no record of anyone named Mofet." "But, uh, I thought the "yourself" reference was, uh, too hokey for Lecter, so I figured, he's from Baltimore, and I looked in the phone book, and there's a "Your Self Storage" facility," "right outside of downtown Baltimore, sir." "Unit 31 was leased for 1 0 years, prepaid in full." "The contract is in the name of a Miss Hester Mofet." "So nobody's been in here since 1 980?" "Not to my knowledge." "Privacy is a great concern to my customers." "(GRUNTlNG) Yes, I won't disturb anything. I promise." "I'll be out of here before you know it." "Yes, actually, you can." "(DOOR banging) lt's stuck."

"It's nothing." "It's just a scratch." "Dr. Lecter, whose head is in that bottle?" "Why don't you ask me about Buffalo Bill?" "Why, do you know something about him?" "I might, if I saw the case file." "You could get that for me." "Why don't we talk about Miss Mofet?" "You wanted me to find him." "His real name is Benjamin Raspail." "A former patient of mine, whose romantic attachments ran to, shall we say, the exotic." "I did not kill him, I assure you." "Merely tucked him away very much as I found him, after he'd missed three appointments." "If you didn't kill him, then who did, sir?" "Who can say?" "Best thing for him, really." "His therapy was going nowhere." "His dress, uh, makeup..." "Raspail was a transvestite?" "In life?" "Oh, no." "Garden variety manic-depressive." "Tedious." "Very tedious." "And I just think of him as a kind of experiment, a fledgling killer's first effort at transformation." "How did you feel when you saw him, Clarice?" "Scared at first, then, exhilarated." "Jack Crawford is helping your career, isn't he?" "Apparently, he likes you, and you like him, too." "I never thought about it." "Do you think Jack Crawford wants you sexually?" "True, he is much older, but do you think he visualizes scenarios, exchanges, fucking you?" "That doesn't interest me, Doctor." "Frankly, it's..." "It's the sort of thing that Miggs would say." "Not anymore." "Thank you, Barney." "(INDISTINCT)" "CLARlCE:" "What happened to your drawings?" "Punishment, you see, for Miggs." "Just like that gospel program." "When you leave, they'll turn the volume way up." "Dr. Chilton does enjoy his petty torments." "What did you mean by transformation, Doctor?" "I've been in this room for eight years now, Clarice." "I know they will never, ever let me out while I'm alive." "What I want is a view." "I want a window where l can see a tree, or even water." "I want to be in a federal institution far away from Dr. Chilton." "What did you mean by fledgling killer?" "Are you saying that he's killed again?" "I'm offering you a psychological profile on Buffalo Bill, based on the case evidence." "I'll help you catch him, Clarice." "You know who he is, don't you?" "Tell me who decapitated your patient, Doctor." "All good things to those who wait." "I've waited, Clarice, but how long can you and old Jackie boy wait?" "Our little Billy must already be searching for that next special lady." "After all it was a great big world" "With lots of places to run to" "(singing) Yeah, and if she had to die" "Trying she" "Had one little promise she was gonna keep" "Oh, yes" "All right" "Take it easy, baby" "Make it last all night" "She was an American girl" "(BEEPlNG)" "(CAT meowing)" "Hey, little cheeper."

"I got it this far." "I just can't get it up in the truck." "Here." "Just grab this." "Okay." "Good." "Just set it down." "That's good." "Uh, get in the truck." "I want to push it all the way up." "I really appreciate this." "Thank you." "All right." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Just go all the way back." "Okay. ls this good?" "Yeah, that's good." "That's great." "Okay."

"Where?" "Found a girl's body down in West Virginia." "Been in the water about a week." "Looks like a Buffalo Bill-type situation." "(airplane engine WHlRRlNG)" "CRAWFORD:" "He keeps them alive for three days." "We don't know why." "There's no evidence of rape or physical abuse prior to death." "All the mutilation you see there is postmortem." "Okay, three days." "Then he shoots them, skins them, and dumps them." "Each body in a different river." "The water leaves us no trace evidence of any kind." "That's Fredrica Bimmel, the first one." "Her body was the only one he took the trouble to weight down, so actually, she was the third girl found." "After her, he got lazy." "Okay." "Let's see." "Circles where the girls were abducted, arrows where their bodies were found." "This new one today washed up here." "Elk River, West Virginia." "Look at him, Starling." "Tell me what you see." "Well, he's a white male." "Serial killers tend to hunt within their own ethnic groups." "He's not a drifter." "He's got his own house somewhere, not an apartment." "Why?" "What he does with them takes privacy." "He's in his 30s or 40s." "He's got real physical strength, combined with an older man's, uh, self-control." "He's cautious, precise." "And he's never impulsive." "He'll never stop." "Why not?" "He's got a real taste for it now." "He's getting better at his work." "Not bad, Starling." "Questions?" "Yes, sir." "You haven't mentioned anything about the information contained in my report or Dr. Lecter's offer, sir." "I'm considering it." "That's why you sent me in there, isn't it?" "To get his help on Buffalo Bill, sir?" "Well, if that was the case, then I just..." "I just wish I was in on it." "That's all." "If I had sent you in there with an actual agenda," "Lecter would have known it instantly." "He would have toyed with you, then turned to stone." "(PEOPLE chattering)" "Excuse me." "Sheriff Perkins, these are the fbi people." "Sheriff Perkins." "Jack Crawford, fbi." "Special Agent Terry, Agent Starling." "We appreciate being invited to your jurisdiction." "I didn't call you." "That was somebody from the State Attorney's office." "We'll extend you every courtesy, but right now..." "Sheriff, this type of sex crime has certain aspects." "I'd just as soon discuss in private." "You know what I mean?" "(ORGAN playing)" "PERKlNS:" "Oscar, fetch Dr. Akin from the chapel." "Yes, sir." "Starling, we're back here." "Tell Lamar to come on when he's finished playing his music." "Yeah." "We'll be sending in a minute." "is this working?" "I need a six-way linkup." "Chicago, Detroit..." "What?" "What?" "(PEOPLE chattering)" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me, gentlemen." "You officers and gentlemen, listen here now." "There's things we need to do for her." "I know that you all brought her this far and that her folks would thank you if they could for your kindness and your sensitivity." "And now, please, go on now and let us take care of her." "Go on, now." "Thank you." "(officer chattering ON police radio)" "Thank you." "CRAWFORD:" "Okay, good." "Yeah, that's right." "West Virginia." "Elk River." "Stand by for transmission." "(BEEPlNG)" "Ray." "CRAWFORD:" "Doctor, Lamar, let's take a look at her." "Oh, Jesus." "Okay, Starling." "Bill." "Star-shaped contact entrance wound over the, uh, sternum." "Uh, muzzle stamp at the top." "DR. akin:" "Wrongful death." ""Wrongful death."" "She'll have to go to the state pathologist at Claxton." "Well, I better get back to that service." "Lamar will help you." "Lord Almighty." "(CAMERA clicking)" "CRAWFORD:" "What else do you see, Starling?" "Well, she's not local." "Her ears are pierced three times, and there's, uh..." "Glitter nail polish." "It looks like town to me." "Two of her fingernails are broken off, and there's, uh, there's dirt or grit under them." "It looks like she's tried to claw her way through something." "Ray, get pictures of her teeth." "We'll fax them through Missing Persons." "RAY:" "Right." "Let's do another." "She's got something in her throat." "When a body comes out of the water, lots of times there's, like, leaves and things in the mouth." "What is that, some kind of seedpod?" "No, sir." "That's a bug cocoon." "There's no way that could get way down in there like that." "Not unless somebody shoved it in there." "She'll be easier to print when we turn her over." "Lamar, will you give me a hand with this?" "LAMAR:" "Yes, sir, I will." "Oh, Jack." "What do you make of these?" "Different configuration than the other victims." "Get close-ups." "Victim's skin removed this time in two large diamond-shaped sections above the buttocks." "Stellate exit wound level with the second or the third thoracic vertebrae approximately six inches from the right shoulder blade." "CRAWFORD:" "Starling?" "When I told that sheriff we shouldn't talk in front of a woman, that really burned you, didn't it?" "It was just smoke, Starling." "I had to get rid of him." "It matters, Mr. Crawford." "Cops look at you to see how to act." "It matters." "Point taken." "Ligature marks found around the wrists, not around the ankles." "This would indicate that the skinning was postmortem." "(ELEVATOR BELL dings)" "RODEN:" "Time, Pilch." "My move." "PlLCHER:" "No fair." "You lured him with produce." "Tough noogies." "Still my turn." "Nice and slow, baby."

"It was found behind the soft palate of a murder victim." "The body was in the Elk River, West Virginia." "It's Buffalo Bill, isn't it?" "I'm afraid I can't tell you any more about that." "PlLCHER:" "We heard about it on the radio." "You mean this is like a clue from a real murder case?" "Cool !" "Just ignore him." "He's not a Ph. D." "A Sphingid." "Ceratomia, maybe." "Boy, he's a big sucker." "Okay." "Let's check morphology." "Uh-huh." "What do you do when you're not detecting, Agent Starling?" "I try to be a student, Dr. Pilcher." "You ever go out for cheeseburgers and beer?" "The amusing house wine?" "Are you hitting on me, Doctor?" "Yes." "RODEN:" "Got you." "What do you got, Roden?" "Agent Starling, meet Mr. Acherontia styx." "Weird." "Better known to his friends as the Death's Head Moth." "And where does it come from?" "That's what's strange." "They only live in Asia." "Asia?" "In this country, they'd have to be specially raised from imported eggs." "Somebody grew this guy, fed him honey and nightshade, kept him warm." "Somebody loved him."

"Talk to me, please!" "Why won't you answer me?" "Please!" "Good morning." "I'm Donna Ferucchi." "I'm Gene Cassel with sports." "And I'm Tim Langhorn." "Our top story for this morning." "Catherine Martin, the 25-year-old daughter of Senator Ruth Martin, listed first as a missing person, is now believed to have been kidnapped by the serial killer known only as Buffalo Bill." "Memphis police sources indicate that the missing girl's blouse has been identified, sliced up the back in what has become a kind of grim, all-too-familiar calling card." "Young Catherine Martin, as we've said, is the only daughter of U.S. Senator Ruth Martin, the Republican junior senator from Tennessee." "And while her kidnapping is not, at this point, considered to be politically motivated, nevertheless, it has stirred the government to its highest levels." "Reached for a comment on the ski slopes of Stowe, Vermont, the president himself said to be, and I quote, "Intensely concerned."" "Just moments ago, Senator Martin taped this dramatic personal plea." "Excuse me." "MARTIN:" "I'm speaking now to the person who is holding my daughter." "Catherine is very gentle and kind." "Talk to her, and you'll see." "You have the power." "You are in charge." "I know you can feel love and compassion." "You have a wonderful chance to show the whole world that you can be merciful as well as strong, that you're big enough to treat Catherine better than the world has treated you." "You have that power." "Please." "My daughter is Catherine." "ARDELlA:" "Boy, that's smart." "Release her unharmed." "Jesus, that's really smart." "MAN:" "She keeps repeating the name." "If he sees Catherine as a person and not just an object, it's harder to tear her up." "Please." "Release my little girl." "What you're doing, Miss Starling, is coming into my hospital to conduct an interview and refusing to share information with me for the third time." "Sir, I told you, this is just a routine follow-up on the Raspail case." "He is my patient." "I have rights." "I understand that, sir." "Look, I am not just some turnkey, Miss Starling." "This is the number for the U.S. Attorney's office." "Please, either you discuss this with him, or you let me do my job." "Do you understand?" "CLARlCE:" "If your profile helps us catch Buffalo Bill in time to save Catherine Martin, the senator promises you a transfer to the V.A. Hospital at Oneida Park, New York, with a view of the woods nearby." "Maximum security still applies, of course." "You'd have reasonable access to books." "Best of all, though." "One week of the year, you get to leave the hospital and go here." "Plum Island." "Every day of that week you may walk on the beach, you may swim in the ocean for up to one hour, under SWAT team surveillance, of course." "And there you have it." "A copy of the Buffalo Bill case file." "A copy of the senator's offer." "This offer is non-negotiable and final." "If Catherine Martin dies, you get nothing." "(THUDDlNG)" ""Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center."" "Sounds charming." "That's only part of the island." "There's a very, very nice beach." "Terns nest there." "There's beautiful..." "Terns?" "Hmm." "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?" "Yes or no, Clarice?" "Poor little Catherine is waiting." "Go, Doctor." "What is your worst memory of childhood?" "The death of my father." "Tell me about it." "And don't lie, or I'll know." "He was a town marshal, and one night he surprised two burglars coming out of the back of a drugstore." "They shot him." "Was he killed outright?" "No." "He was very strong." "He lasted more than a month." "My mother died when I was very young, so my father had become the whole world to me, and when he left me, I had nothing." "I was ten years old." "You're very frank, Clarice." "I think it would be quite something to know you in private life." "Quid pro quo, Doctor." "So tell me about Miss West Virginia." "Was she a large girl?" "Yes." "Big through the hips?" "Roomy?" "They all were." "What else?" "She had an object deliberately inserted into her throat." "Now, that hasn't been made public yet." "We don't know what it means." "Was it a butterfly?" "Yes." "A moth." "Just like the one we found in Benjamin Raspail's head an hour ago." "Why does he place them there, Doctor?" "The significance of the moth is change." "Caterpillar into chrysalis or pupa, and from thence into beauty." "Our Billy wants to change, too." "There's no correlation in literature between transsexualism and violence." "Transsexuals are very passive..." "Clever girl." "You're so close to the way you're gonna catch him." "Do you realize that?" "No." "Tell me why." "After your father's murder, you were orphaned." "What happened next?" "I don't imagine the answer is on those second-rate shoes, Clarice." "I went to live with my mother's cousin and her husband in Montana." "They had a ranch." "Was it a cattle ranch?" "Sheep and horses." "How long did you live there?" "Two months." "Why so briefly?" "I ran away." "Why, Clarice?" "Did the rancher make you perform fellatio?" "Did he sodomize you?" "No." "He was a very decent man." "Quid pro quo, Doctor." "Billy is not a real transsexual." "But he thinks he is." "He tries to be." "He's tried to be a lot of things, I expect." "And you said that I was very close to the way we would catch him." "What did you mean, Doctor?" "There are three major centers for transsexual surgery." "Johns Hopkins, the University of Minnesota, and Columbus Medical Center." "I wouldn't be surprised if Billy had applied for sex reassignment at one or all of them and been rejected." "On what basis would they reject him?"

"And how do we begin to covet, Clarice?" "Do we seek out things to covet?" "Make an effort to answer now." "No." "We just..." "No." "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?" "All right." "Yes." "Now please tell me how." "No. lt is your turn to tell me, Clarice."

"Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice." "What did you do?" "I went downstairs, outside." "I crept up into the barn." "I was so scared to look inside, but I had to." "And what did you see, Clarice?" "What did you see?" "Lambs." "They were screaming." "They were slaughtering the spring lambs?" "And they were screaming." "And you ran away?" "No." "First I tried to free them." "I..." "I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run." "They just stood there, confused." "They wouldn't run." "But you could and you did, didn't you?" "Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could." "Where were you going, Clarice?" "I don't know." "I didn't have any food, any water, and it was very cold, very cold." "I thought..." "I thought if I could save just one, but, he was so heavy." "He was so heavy." "I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up." "The rancher was so angry, he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman." "I never saw the ranch again." "What became of your lamb, Clarice?" "They killed him." "You still wake up sometimes, don't you?" "Wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs." "Yes." "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." "I don't know. I don't know." "Thank you, Clarice." "Thank you." "Tell me his name, Doctor." "Dr. Chilton, I presume." "I think you know each other." "Okay." "We found her." "Let's go!" "It's your turn, Doctor." "Out." "Tell me his name."
