The doctor approached me with a piece of broken mirror and said…
[In the flashback, Lecter is holding a shard of broken glass.]
Try peeling off your face with this…
Mason Verger "…and feeding it to the dogs." And, well, you know the rest. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Mason Verger So what do ya think, Cordell? Does Lecter want to **** her or kill her or eat her alive?
Cordell Doemling Probably all three, though I wouldn't want to predict in what order.
Mason Verger You know, I thank God for what happened. It was my salvation. Have you accepted Jesus, Agent Starling? Do you have faith?
I was raised Lutheran.
Mason Verger That's not what I asked.
Mason Verger I might be able to get a cookie now. What do you think, Cordell?
Cordell Doemling I think it would kill you.
Mason Verger What do you think?
I could have handled this.
Mason Verger Oh, coulda, woulda, shoulda. I mean what do you think about the money?
Five.
Mason Verger Oh, let's just toss it off like 'five'! Let's say it with the respect it deserves.
Five hundred thousand dollars.
Mason Verger Well, that's better, but not much. Will it work?
It'll work. Won't be pretty.

No, Mason. I much prefer you the way you are.
