Quotes7

  • Jack 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.
  • Clarice Starling: It matters, Mr Crawford. Cops look at you to see how to act. It matters.
  • Jack Crawford: Point taken.
  • Jack Crawford: Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head.
  • Jack Crawford: 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.
  • Clarice Starling: A-minus, Sir.
  • Jack Crawford: Just do your job, but never forget what he is.
  • Clarice Starling: And what is that?
  • [cut to Clarice's first trip to the psychiatric prison]
  • Dr. Frederick Chilton: Oh, he's a monster. Pure psychopath. So rare to capture one alive. From a research point of view, Lecter is our most prized asset.
  • Jack Crawford: Look at it, Starling. Tell me what you see.
  • FBI Director Hayden Burke: Jack, Hannibal Lecter's being transferred to Memphis.
  • Jack Crawford: Transferred?
  • FBI Director Hayden Burke: Did you have a trainee make some sort of phony offer in the Senator's name?
  • Jack Crawford: Yeah, I rolled the dice. I had to.
  • FBI Director Hayden Burke: Well she's mad as hell, Jack. Paul Krendler's over here from Justice. She's asking him to take over in Memphis.
  • Paul Krendler: Senator Martin's been on the line. Did you have a trainee make a kind of phoney deal with Lecter?
  • Jack Crawford: Yeah, I rolled the dice, I had to.
  • Paul Krendler: Well, she's mad as Hell, Jack.
