That line was just a pun, err whatever you would call it. Naw they never said it, but they should'a!
Yeah, Doc Hannibal's dichotomous nature was riveting, but I liked how the rascal thought. One or two steps ahead, always looking, always calculating. The fact that he could read people so easily was kewl too. The only thing I didn't care for. He apparantly got maimed in the end. If I were him, I'd just chopped off Agent Starling's hand. Evidently the good doctor has never spent to much time in the company of women (or else he would have never given it a second though
)
