'The Silence of the Lambs'-- Part 2: What was He Going to Do?

I loved that mask they had on him to keep him from biting others.  A real "Does not play well with others kind of a guy, that Hannibal."

What was Hannibal getting ready to do when he said this?  "I do wish we could chat longer, but... I'm having an old friend for dinner."

"I ate his liver with some fava beans."

"Well, Clarice -  have the lambs stopped screaming?"

"Whenever feasible, one should always try to eat the rude."

24 Minutes, 54 Seconds

That's how long Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter is on the screen.  It's the second shortest performance to win an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role.  

The very shortest stint was David Niven's winning role as Major Angus Pollock in 1958's "Separate Tables" was 23 minutes, 39 seconds.
