In the movie, Clarice explains that she was traumatized as a child after waking up during the night to the sounds of lambs screaming as they were being slaughtered. Dr. Lector then comes to the conclusion that Clarice wants desperately to save Katherine Martin, the missing Senator's daughter, because she feels that by saving her, she'll be able to silence her memories of the lambs, whom she was unable to save. Dr. Lector refers back to this at the very end of the movie when he and Clarice speak on the phone, and he asks, "Well, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming?" He asks this because Clarice was successful in saving Katherine, and therefore should have succeeded in silencing those traumatic memories.

∙ 10y agoDue to an exchange in the movie between Hannibal and Clarice where Clarice explained to Hannibal about a happening from her childhood; She was living on a farm when she was young and one day she awoke in the night to a noise: screaming. She went down to investigate, and found that in the barn, young, innocent lambs were being slaughtered. It is called the Silence of the Lambs because young innocent lambs were being killed, and so were teenage girls by Buffalo Bill.

Which is the script of movie silence of the lambs?
This question does not make sense. What do you mean, "Which is the script of the movie The Silence of the Lambs?" There are no options to choose from here. If you asked, "Which fruits are yellow?" a person could answer, "Bananas, pineapples..." But there are no options to choose from in this question.

"Which is the script of The Silence of the Lambs?" The script of The Silence of the Lambs is the script of The Silence of the Lambs. It's as if you're asking, "Which of these is the script of The Silence of the Lambs: A, B, C, D, or none of the above?" except you haven't told us what A, B, C, and D are.
