Hannibal (film)

"[to Barney, on a recording from his imprisonment] There are shallow rollers, and there are deep rollers. You cant breed two deep rollers... or their young, their offspring, will roll all the way down, hit, and die. Agent Starling is a deep roller, Barney. Let us hope one of her parents was not."

"What is worst about this humiliation, Clarice? Is it how your failure will reflect on your mommy and daddy? Is your worst fear that people will now and forever believe they were indeed just good old trailer-camp, tornado-bait white trash, and that perhaps you are too?"

"[in a letter to Clarice Starling] By the way I couldnt help noticing on the FBIs rather dull public website that I have been hoisted from the Bureaus 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."

"[in a letter to Clarice Starling] Your job is to craft my doom... so Im not sure how well I should wish you... but Im sure well have a lot of fun. Ta-ta. "H."

"My freedom, just that. Youd take that from me. And if you did, would they have you back, do you think? The FBI? Those people you despise almost as much as they despise you? Will they give you a medal, Clarice, do you think? Would you have it professionally framed and hang it on your wall to look at and remind you of your courage and incorruptibility? All you would need for that, Clarice, is a mirror."
