The Silence of the Lambs1991

Ardelia Mapp:
Is this Lecter's handwriting? "Clarice, doesn't this random scattering of sites seem desperately random - like the elaborations of a bad liar? Ta, Hannibal Lecter."

Clarice Starling:
"Desperately random." What does he mean?

Ardelia Mapp:
Not random at all, maybe. Like there's some pattern here …?

Clarice Starling:
But there is no pattern, or the computers would've nailed it. They're even found in random order.

Ardelia Mapp:
Random because of the one girl. The one he weighted down.

Clarice Starling:
Oh, Fredrica Bimmel, from … Belvedere, Ohio. First girl taken, third body found. Why?

Ardelia Mapp:
'Cause she didn't drift. He weighted her down.

Clarice Starling:
What did Lecter say about … "first principles"?

Ardelia Mapp:
Simplicity …

Clarice Starling:
What does this guy do? He "covets". How do we first start to covet?

Ardelia Mapp:
"We covet what we see …"

Clarice Starling:
"… every day."

Ardelia Mapp:
Hot damn, Clarice.

Clarice Starling:
He knew her.
