-Where were you going, Clarice? -I don't know.
Yes. I took one lamb, and I ran away as fast as I could.
But you could and you did, didn't you?
They just stood there, confused. They wouldn't run.
I opened the gate to their pen, but they wouldn't run.
First I tried to free them.
-And you ran away? -No.
And they were screaming.
They were slaughtering the spring lambs?
Lambs. They were screaming.
And what did you see, Clarice? What did you see?
I was so scared to look inside, but I had to.
I crept up into the barn.
I went downstairs, outside.
What did you do?
Some kind of screaming, like a child's voice.
It was screaming.
What was it?
I heard a strange noise.
Then something woke you, didn't it? Was it a dream? What was it?
-You started at what time? -Early. Still dark.
Not "just", Clarice. What set you off?

No! I will listen now.
Later. Now, please, listen to me. We've only got five...
