The Silence of the Lambs Quote
Hannibal Lecter : [ shouts ] No! [ normal voice ]
Hannibal Lecter : I will listen now. After your father's murder, you were orphaned. You were ten years old. You went to live with cousins on a sheep and horse ranch in Montana. And...?
Clarice Starling : [ tears begin forming in her eyes ] And one morning, I just ran away.
Hannibal Lecter : No "just", Clarice. What set you off? You started at what time?
Clarice Starling : Early, still dark.
Hannibal Lecter : Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
Clarice Starling : I heard a strange noise.
Hannibal Lecter : What was it?
Clarice Starling : It was... screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice.
Hannibal Lecter : What did you do?
Clarice Starling : I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
Hannibal Lecter : And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
Clarice Starling : Lambs. The lambs were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter : They were slaughtering the spring lambs?
Clarice Starling : And they were screaming.
Hannibal Lecter : And you ran away?
Clarice Starling : No. First I tried to free them. I... I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run. They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
Hannibal Lecter : But you could and you did, didn't you?
Clarice Starling : Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could.
Hannibal Lecter : Where were you going, Clarice?
Clarice Starling : I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought
