Ardelia Mapp
- Clarice Starling: [Hannibal Lecter has escaped] He won't come after me.
- Ardelia Mapp: Oh really?
- Clarice Starling: He won't. I can't explain it... He - he would consider that rude.
- Ardelia Mapp: Is this Lecter's handwriting? "Clarice, doesn't this random scattering of sites seem desperately random - like the elaborations of a bad liar? Ta, Hannibal Lecter."
- Clarice Starling: "Desperately random." What does he mean?
- Ardelia Mapp: Not random at all, maybe. Like there's some pattern here...?
- Clarice Starling: But there is no pattern or the computers would've nailed it. They're even found in random order.
- Ardelia Mapp: Random because of the one girl. The one he weighted down.
- Clarice Starling: Oh, Fredrica Bimmel, from... Belvedere, Ohio. First girl taken, third body found. Why?
- Ardelia Mapp: 'Cause she didn't drift. He weighted her down.
- Clarice Starling: What did Lecter say about... first principles?
- Ardelia Mapp: Simplicity...
- Clarice Starling: What does this guy do, he "covets". How do we first start to covet?
- Ardelia Mapp: "We covet what we see -"
- Clarice Starling: " - every day."
- Ardelia Mapp: Hot damn, Clarice.
- Clarice Starling: He knew her.
