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.

Page 2 of 3 Cordell Doemling What do you think?
I could have handled this.
Oh, coulda, woulda, shoulda. I mean what do you think about the money?
Five.
Oh, let's just toss it off like 'five'! Let's say it with the respect it deserves.
Five hundred thousand dollars.
Well, that's better, but not much. Will it work?
It'll work. Won't be pretty.
What ever is?
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.
That's not what I asked.
Jesus, Starling! What are you doing sitting there in the dark?
Thinking about cannibalism.

[Krendler comes home from shopping to find that someone is cooking in the kitchen]
What the ****...
Oh God-- [Lecter smothers him with a dish cloth]
[Lecter has lobotomized Krendler and is preparing to cook his brain]
Paul, would you like to say grace?
[in drugged, lobotomized stupor]
God bless every one of us, even white trash like Starling.
I don't think the Apostle Paul could have put it any better. He hated women too.
[Mason Verger is recounting an old experience with Lecter.]
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…
"…and feeding it to the dogs." And, well, you know the rest. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
[Verger is preparing to feed Lecter to a pack of wild boars]
I suppose now you wish that you had fed the rest of me to the dogs.
No, Mason. I much prefer you the way you are.
Ciao!
[in a letter to Agent Starling]
Your job is to craft my doom…so I'm not sure how well I should wish you…but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun. Ta-ta. "H."
[in a letter to Clarice Starling]
By the way I couldn't help noticing on the FBI's rather dull public website that I have been hoisted from the Bureau's archives of the common criminal and elevated to the more prestigious 10 Most Wanted list. Is this coincidence, or are you back on the case? If so, goody goody, cause I need to come out of retirement and return to public life.
[in a letter to Clarice Starling]
Dear Clarice, I have followed with enthusiasm the course of your disgrace and public shaming. My own never bothered me, except for the inconvenience of being incarcerated, but you may lack perspective.
