Line 5:
*** Played very straight with Mason Verger, one of the most horrifying examples of all time. A child-molesting sadist who {{spoiler|brutally raped his own sister.}} Once karma catches up with him in the form of Hannibal Lecter, the crippled Verger resorts to verbally and emotionally abusing children since he can no longer do it physically. Then he {{spoiler|drinks martinis made from their tears.}} Really.
*** Uh, Grutas anyone? He makes Hannibal look downright heroic by comparison. It says a lot about a person when the first thing he does is ''{{spoiler|eat the protagonists baby sister}}'' and only gets worse.
*** Even Buffalo Bill, who is a strict [[Complete Monster]] in the movie, has ''some'' humanity in the book: he adored his mother, he adores his pet poodle, he's a skilled tailor and he seems to envy women rather than outright hating them, which has led to his rampage and misguided attempt {{spoiler|to become one}}.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Not all the time, but Lecter's {{spoiler|escape in Silence of the Lambs ''runs'' on this. Disposing of the guards as mentioned above, then getting their backup to carry him out of the prison themselves by ''wearing his victim's clothes and mutilated face over his own''}}.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: in the book (only) of ''Silence''.
