Paul Krendler quotes from Hannibal (2001)

Of course you're right, Starling... but it doesn't change anything.

Paul Krendler

It's a gool deal for you, Starling. You can't pretend it isn't. Get to go back on a celebrated case. I'll take care of the media for your Drumgo killing. Everyone's gonna be happy.

Paul Krendler

Don't flatter yourself, Starling. That was a long time ago. Why would I hold that against you? Besides, this town is full of cornpone country pussy.

I'm not a bad guy.

That is the Devil. Shaitan, Son of the Morning, I've seen him now.

Paul Krendler

Jesus, Starling! What are you doing sitting there in the dark?

Clarice Starling

Thinking about cannibalism.

Clarice Starling

Paul, what is it with you? I told you to go home to your wife, was that wrong?

Paul Krendler

Don't flatter yourself, Starling. That was a long time ago. Why would I hold that against you? Besides, this town is full of cornpone country pussy.

Mason Verger

What do you think?

Paul Krendler

I could have handled this.

Mason Verger

Oh, coulda, woulda, shoulda. I mean what do you think about the money?

Paul Krendler

Five.

Mason Verger

Oh, let's just toss it off like 'five'! Let's say it with the respect it deserves.

Paul Krendler

Five hundred thousand dollars.

Mason Verger

Well, that's better, but not much. Will it work?

Paul Krendler

It'll work. Won't be pretty.

Mason Verger

What ever is?

Mason Verger

****!

Paul Krendler

What the ****...

Hannibal Lecter

Good, you brought the wine.

Paul Krendler

Oh God-- [Lecter smothers him with a dish cloth]

Hannibal Lecter

Paul, would you like to say grace?

Paul Krendler

God bless every one of us, even white trash like Starling.

Hannibal Lecter

I don't think the Apostle Paul could have put it any better. He hated women too.
