当克丽丝和莱特医生第二次见面时，情况有了根本的变化：

------Hester,Mofet.It's an anagram,isn't it,doctor?Hester Mofet,The rest of me.Miss the rest of me,meaning that you rented taht garage?

------Dr.lecter,whose head is in that bottle?

------Why don't you ask me about buffalo bill?

------Do you know something about him?

------I might if I saw the case file.You could get taht for me.

------Let's talk about Miss Mofet.You wanted me to find him......

------What happened to your drawings?

------Punishment,you see,for miggs,Just like that gospel program.

------What did you mean by "transformation" doctor?

------I've been in this room for eight years now,clarice.I know they will never ever let me out while I'm alive,but I want is a view.I want a window where I can see a tree or even water.I want to be in a federal institution far away from Dr.chilton.

------What did you mean by "fleagling killer"? Are you saying he's killed again?

------I'm offering you a psychological profile on Buffalo Bill based on the case evidence.I'll help you catch him,clarice?

------You know who he is , don't you?Tell me who decapitated your patient,doctor?

------All good things to those who wait.(最喜欢的一句话：愿意等待的人都有好的报答）

当克丽丝与莱特医生第三次见面的时候，克里斯提出了能够使莱特医生部分获得自由的机会，让莱特医生听了很动心：

------If you profile helps us catch buffalo bill in time to save Catherine Martin.the senator promises you a transfer to the VA Hospital at Oneida Park,New York,with a view of the woodsnearby.Maximum security still applies.You'd have reasonable access to books.Best of all though one week of the year,you get to leave the hospital and go here.---------Plum Island.......Everyday of that week.you may walk on the beach.You may swin in the ocean for up to one hour under SWAT team surveillance,of course,And the you have it.

当他们开始互相交换信息，沉入讨论案情，精彩部分由此拉开序幕：

------If I help you ,clarice it will be turns with us too.I tell you things, you tell me things.Not about this case,though.About yourself......

------What's your worst memory of childhood?

------The death of my father.

------Tell me about it.And don't lie or I'll know.

------He was a town marshal and one night he surprised two burglars coming out of a drugstore.They shot him......

------So tell me about Miss west Virginia,Was she a large girl?

------Yes

------Big though the hips,roomy?

------They all were.

------What else?

------She had an object deliberately inserted into her throat.Now that hasn't been made poblic yet.We don't know what it means.

------Was it a butterfly?

------Yes,a moth......why does he place them there,doctor?

------The significance of the moth is change.Caterpillar into chrysalis,or pupa and from thence into beauty.Our bill want to change too.

当他们第四次见面，是在莱特医生关在类似于鸟笼里面进行的，这段极其精彩：

------What was it?

------It was... screaming. Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice.

------What did you do?

------I went downstairs, outside. I crept up into the barn. I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.

------And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?

------Lambs. The lambs were screaming.

------They were slaughtering the spring lambs?

------And they were screaming.

------And you ran away?

------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.

------But you could and you did, didn't you?

------Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could.

------Where were you going, Clarice?

------I don't know. I didn't have any food, any water and it was very cold, very cold. I thought, I thought if I could save just one, but... he was so heavy. So heavy. I didn't get more than a few miles when the sheriff's car picked me up. The rancher was so angry he sent me to live at the Lutheran orphanage in Bozeman. I never saw the ranch again.

------What became of your lamb, Clarice?

------They killed him......

------You still wake up sometimes,don't you?Wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs?

------Yes
