Differences from the book

When Starling and Chilton meet the second time and Chilton gets angry at her for seeing Lector without sharing info with him, and Chilton says to her: "I'm not just some turnkey."

In the book, the rest of the sentence is: "I had a ticket to Holiday on Ice".

And there's a beautiful description of how in that instant, Starling realizes that Chilton has no woman, no friends, and visualizes his empty, lonely life.

And she stares at him, and in her eyes, she communicates all of this to him, and throws in how young and desirable she is.

And Chilton is totally crushed, and silently proceeds to give her the access to Lector.
