Officer Murray: Is it true what they’re saying, he’s some kinda vampire?
Clarice Starling: They don’t have a name for what he is.

You pitiful, insignificant fools!

Some men just wanna watch the world burn

According to commentary from the film’s DVD release, Alan Rickman’s surprise when Gruber is dropped from the building is genuine: the director chose to release Rickman a full second before he expected it in order to get genuine surprise, a move which angered Rickman.

Swing your razor wide!
Sweeney, hold it to the skies.
Freely flows the blood of those who moralize.
His needs were few, his room was bare.
A lavabo and a fancy chair.
A mug of suds, and a leather strop,
an apron, a towel, a pail, and a mop.
For neatness he deserved a nod,
Did Sweeney Todd?,
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Take control of your city!

If the rule you followed brought you to this, what good is the rule?

I pardon you.
