Hannibal
Doctor Hannibal Lecter isone of the most recognizable and terrifying repulsion movie villainsever to have graced the screen , with his genius intellect and chilling demeanor . An harebrained man-eater , Lecter is also a splendid psychologist who can accurately profile the most sick and disturbed serial killer stalk the street of the United States .
Through the path ofAnthony Hopkins ' three - film running game as Doctor Lecter , the character has uttered some marvelous quotes , and some atrociously cheesy one , as well . It ’s all part of the fun , but sometimes the writers go a snatch too over the top when it came to making Lecter a pop culture image .
“You Use Evyan Skin Cream. And Sometimes You Wear L’Air Du Temps. But Not Today!”
This cheesy Lecter quote came during the first central between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling . After his harebrained cellmate " Multiple " Miggs make a highly raunchy and queasy command about Starling ’s aroma , Lecter weighs in . Instead of concur , he utter this quotation , pointing out a few of the scents that Clarice is wearing , including Evyan pelt cream .
While this might be probable , it ’s silly to call back that Lecter could smell L’Air du Temps perfume on her , seeing as how he also claim she was n’t even wear it that day . While it could have been on her jacket , it ’s hard to consider that Lecter had the sense of smell to determine this from behind his shabu rampart .
“That’s The Same Atrocious Aftershave You Wore In Court.”
Red Dragonbrought back the premise of Doctor Lecter ’s superhuman olfactory senses for a second prison term , though this one was far more credible , given the potential of some men ’s aftershave . It facilitate showcase Lecter ’s accurate and disciplined skill of deduction and psychoanalysis , which is a hallmark of his fictitious character .
Nevertheless , it ’s a crummy manner to start a conversation with Will Graham , the FBI agent responsible for putting Hannibal Lecter behind bars in the first stead . Perhaps it was done to throw off Graham off , but it ended up take in audiences chuckle .
“Brave Clarice. You Will Let Me Know When Those Lambs Stop Screaming, Won’t You?”
The Silence of the Lambsspent a great deal of prison term dissecting the psychological science of Clarice Starling and her privileged motivations for joining the FBI . Hannibal Lecter did a masterly jobpeeling back her layersand getting her to admit the childhood hurt that run to her becoming the woman she originate into as an adult .
The heavy - handedness of the giving reveal scene was well established , which make this close quote by Lecter more or less cheap , slaphappy and quite melodramatic . It could be argued that it was all part of Lecter ’s over - the - top character .
“Quid Pro Quo. Yes Or No?”
Say it once and the hearing might postulate clarification . Say it twice and the interview get it . Say it several clip more and it becomes a cheesy post for a character to hang one ’s lid . This is what happened with the popular " quid pro quo " saying that kept pop out up inThe quiet of the Lambs .
If nothing else , it added a scrap of intellectualism to the ethnical lexicon , but Doctor Lecter start swear on it a bit too much during his tense exchange with Clarice Starling . By the prison term he made it rhyme , the phrase was ready for retirement .
“If I Tell You, I’m Afraid You Won’t Even Try It.”
The rootage ofRed Dragonfinds Doctor Lecter murdering an orchestral flute player and feeding his remains to the clueless board of music director later on . As the snobby overstrung elites sit around the dinner party table and discuss a manner of subjects , one of them asks what went into the fashioning of the amuse - bouche on the plate in front of her .
Hannibal reply with this cheesy , but in all predictable and pleasurable quote that winks and nods at the consultation who know full well what ’s on the home . It ’s one of the better uses of cheesy one - liners from Hannibal Lecter that serves to entertain an delighted interview .
“I Must Confess To You, I’m Giving Very Serious Thought … To Eating Your Wife!”
While hiding out in plain sight in Italy , Lecter begins rouse the mistrust of Chief Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi , who seems to have identified his FBI most wanted condition . Rather than take Lecter in , Pazzi examine to circumvent the law in society to capture Lecter and deliver him to his detest rival Mason Verger , in rally for a great reward .
Pazzi ignores Clarice Starling ’s warnings to abandon his plan , but it ’s too late . Lecter confronts Pazzi and divulge his cognition of the plan , then utters this quote as a would - be menace to try and get him to run out the beans . It ends with Pazzi meeting a ghastly death on the street of Florence .
“Will You Stay With Me In My Prison Cell And Hold My Hand, Clarice? We Could Have Some Fun!”
The bud one - way love story between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling went into overdrive in the 2001 filmHannibal , but stare clearly was n’t interested . During a conversation , Lecter goaded Clarice on the idiotic notion that he ’d turn himself in for no other cause than introductory ethical motive .
In truth , this quote might have been a verbatim nod to the novel version ofHannibal , which ends with him and Starling becoming lovers and fleeing the country together . The theme was fully rejected for the flick version based on the highly improbable assumption .
“Oh, And Senator, Just One More Thing. Love Your Suit!”
Lecter capitalize on a chance to escape from confinement when the serial killer Buffalo Bill kidnapped Catherine Martin , the daughter of prominent U.S. Senator Ruth Martin . He fed the FBI team false data in an endeavour to get an up - skinny meeting with Martin , where he begins bait her about her daughter ’s luck .
After giving them one final red herring to chase after after , Lecter close off the substitution with Senator Martin by uttering this quote , which is definitely one of the cheesiest .
“Okey-Dokey, Here We Go.”
Ridley Scott’sHannibalfeatured a far more jolly and free - spirited Doctor Lecter in comparison to his appearance inThe Silence of the Lambs , and the trial impression is in his caricatures . Though a extremely respected intellectual and a man of the arts , Lecter seemed to have adopted an odd catch - phrase that stuck with him throughout the pic .
Lecter verbalize this quote several times , including a vista where he interrogate Chief Inspector Pazzi before murdering him instantaneously - definitely out of character , and one of Lecter ’s more tinny one - ocean liner .
“I Do Wish We Could Chat Longer, But I’m Having An Old Friend For Dinner.”
Perhaps the most iconic and beloved of Hannibal’scheesiest quotescomes the right way at the remainder of the originalSilence of the Lambs , after Doctor Lecter manage to escape confinement into the outside world . After Clarice solves the whodunit of Buffalo Bill and rid of him , Hannibal calls her from a payphone to congratulate her .
While Clarice urgently tries to get Lecter to reveal his whereabouts , he utter this quote before hanging up the phone and turning his attentions on Frederick Chilton , the hapless film director of the sanitarium who inflicted psychological torment on Lecter , in an seek to one - up him .
