Quotes:
|
-
Hannibal Lecter: Now then, tell me. What did Miggs say to you? Multiple Miggs in the next cell. He hissed at you. What did he say?
Clarice Starling: He said, "I can smell your cunt."
Hannibal Lecter: I see. I myself cannot. You use Evian skin cream, and sometimes your wear L'Air du Temps, but not today.
-
Hannibal Lecter: I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye.
-
Jack Crawford: Believe me, you don't want Hannibal Lecter inside your head.
-
Clarice Starling: If you didn't kill him, then who did, sir?
Hannibal Lecter: Who can say. Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere.
-
Hannibal Lecter: Do you think he visualizes scenarios, exchanges... fucking?
Clarice Starling: That doesn't interest me, Doctor, and frankly, it's... it's the sort of thing that Miggs would say.
Hannibal Lecter: Not anymore.

Trivia:
|
- Vetern filmmaker and president of New World Pictures, Roger Corman makes a cameo as the FBI Director.
- Anthony Hopkins spontaneously invented the slurping sound on the set. Everyone loved it, but Jonathan Demme apparently got really sick of it after a while.
- In his first meeting with Clarice Starling, Lecter describes the drawing on his cell wall as "the Duomo, seen from the Belvedere" in Florence, Italy. Starling later finds Buffalo Bill living in Belvedere, Ohio. Lecter, in fact, gives her Buffalo Bill's location in their first meeting.
- Then Secretary of Labor, Elizabeth Dole's, Washington, D.C. office doubled for that of the F.B.I. director's office in the movie.
- Brooke Smith gained 25 pounds for her role as Catherine Martin.
