Senator Ruth Martin
- Hannibal Lecter: Tell me, Senator: did you nurse Catherine yourself?
- Senator Ruth Martin: What?
- Hannibal Lecter: Did you breast-feed her?
- Paul Krendler: Now wait a minute...
- Senator Ruth Martin: Yes, I did.
- Hannibal Lecter: Toughened your nipples, didn't it?
- Paul Krendler: You son of a bitch!
- Hannibal Lecter: Amputate a man's leg and he can still feel it tickling. Tell me, mum, when your little girl is on the slab, where will it tickle you?
- Senator Ruth Martin: Take this... *thing* back to Baltimore!
- Hannibal Lecter: Five foot ten, strongly built, about a hundred and eighty pounds; hair blonde, eyes pale blue. He'd be about thirty-five now. He said he lived in Philadelphia, but he may have lied. That's all I can remember, mum, but if I think of any more, I will let you know. Oh, and Senator, just one more thing: love your suit!
