"He's not just killing them. He's transforming them."

"Find him. Stop him."

"We're looking for a very particular kind of madness."

"He wanted to be reborn."

"What does he really want? What is his nature?"

"His need is acute. He will kill again."

"He's already chosen his final victim."

"He's trying to create himself anew."

"Time is of the essence."

"We must use our minds to catch him."

"The world's a hard place, Clarice. It whispers nasty things."

"Transformation and physical change. That's what he's after."

"The killer has been hunting for weeks."

"A person has to make a choice."

"There are three things we know about him."

"You've begun to think like he does."

"Three victims. Three separate jurisdictions."

"What's the statistical probability of that?"

"You're a natural, Starling."

"Believe nothing until it's officially denied."

"He's already gone."

"You have to catch him now."

"You know what he's doing, don't you?"

"A psychologist today wouldn't tell you zip without a court order."

"Some people can't believe in themselves until someone else believes in them first."

"The number of victims will increase. The frequency is increasing."

"This is all the papers I can give you."

"You want to get inside his head."

"You're going to have to be as good as you are brave."

"What is the most important thing now?"
