You think you stand high above the common man? You’re nothing but an Okie with straight teeth.
- Dr. Lilith Ritter to Stanton Carlisle
You'd like to quantify me, Officer Starling. You're so ambitious, aren't you? Do you know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube.
You're a well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Your eyes are like cheap birthstones -- all surface shine when you stalk some little answer. And you're bright behind them, aren't you?
Desperate not to be like your mother. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation out of the mines, Officer Starling.
Is it the West Virginia Starlings or the Okie Starlings, Officer?
- Dr. Hannibal Lecter to Clarice Starling
UPD:
Продолжение этого диалога Лектера и Старлинг и "избивания младенцев" в Мочании Ягнят ещё больше добавляет похожести:
"You're tough, aren't you, Officer Starling?"
"Reasonably so, yes."
"And you'd hate to think you were common. Would'nt that sting? My! Well you're far from common, Officer Starling. All you have is fear of it.
