★Hannibal and the police officer's wife discuss Dante's "Rebirth". Every loving soul, every tender heart, I present these verses before them, I expect them to answer the call of my heart, I offer my homage to their master, Eros. The first three hours of the night have passed, and every star is shining on us. How suddenly my love came, it still shakes my heart to think of it. I feel that Eros is in full swing, and now he has my heart in his hand; my lover, covered in a veil, is still sleeping in his arms. He woke her, and she tamely ate my burning heart from his hands, trembling and tame. I watched Eros leave with tears all over my face. To every captive soul and gentle heart into whose sight this present speech may come, so that they might write its meaning for me, greetings, in their lord's name, who is Love. Already a third of the hours were almost past of the time when all the stars were shining, when Love suddenly appeared to me whose memory fills me with terror. Joyfully Love seemed to me to hold my heart in his hand, and held in his arms my lady wrapped in a cloth sleeping. Then he woke her, and that burning heart he fed to her reverently, she fearing, afterwards he went not to be seen weeping.

★Hannibal and Starling confront each other in front of the refrigerator, kiss and chop. ps. Julianne Moore is not as good as Jodie Foster...

Hannibal quotes

  • Special Agent Burke: [Over earpiece] Keep that gun down Bolton. Bolton!

    Red Scarf Gang Banger: Damn dude got a piece!

    Evelda Drumgo's Bodyguard: It's a pig, light his ass up!

    Clarice Starling: [over earpiece] It's a go!

    [draws gun]

    Clarice Starling: FBI! DOWN ON THE GROUND!

  • [Hannibal and Mason see each other for the first time in years]

    Mason Verger: Hylochoerus Meinertzhageni. Ring any bells from high school biology, doctor? No? Well, I could list its most conspicuous features if that would help jog the memory.

    [wheels around the restrained Hannibal]

    Mason Verger: Three pairs of incisors, one pair of elongated canines, three pairs of molars, four pairs of pre-molars, upper and lower, for a total of forty-four teeth.

    [stops to face Hannibal]

    Mason Verger: The meal will begin with an hors d'oeuvre tartare: your feet. The main course - the rest of you - won't be served until seven hours later, but during that time, you'll be able to enjoy the effects of the consumed appetizer with a full-bodied saline drip. I guess you wish now you'd fed the rest of me to the dogs, hmm?

    Hannibal Lecter: [perfectly calm] No, Mason... No, I much prefer you the way you are.

    Mason Verger: [holding back anger] So... dinner at 8.
