Great dialogue, but that line did not even remotely apply to Jodie Foster's Clarice. It's always stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Jodie Foster is tiny, and with his high-powered perception, Lecter never would have said that about her. They even made a point of how tiny she was by surrounding her with tall male officers in at least one scene. That passage was drawn from the book, but it's heavily modified, yet that line is verbatim. Strange.
