Lucca De Oliveira: Tomas Esquivel

Quotes 

• Tomas Esquivel : [Clarice hands him her service weapon]  That a good idea?

  Clarice Starling : Probably not.

  Tomas Esquivel : We can hide a weapon for you.

  Clarice Starling : [giving him her backup, too]  Maybe I can't trust them, but they've got to trust me. Okay.

  Tomas Esquivel : We want to trust you, too, you know. I'm a counter-sniper. I work alone, but I can't do a damn thing without my team. The team clears a space for me to work. I clear the space for the team. You don't trust us, we can't trust you. Where does that leave anybody? He doesn't just want you in there because you're a woman. You're also Clarice Starling. You're all over the news. It's a power play. If you get in trouble in there, look for us. Let us know where you are. We'll be there.

  Clarice Starling : All right, then.

  Tomas Esquivel : Just give me five minutes to get into position, okay?

• Murray Clarke : Who shot first, ATF or Statesmen?

  Tomas Esquivel : Statesmen were throwing bottles, but ATF definitely shot first.

  Shaan Tripathi : Well, it'd be good to find out if local ATF are friendlies. Can we do that quietly?

  Murray Clarke : I don't trust anyone at headquarters not to blab to the ATF.

  Shaan Tripathi : You don't trust anybody, period.

  Tomas Esquivel : I do. Starling has a friend back at Buzzard's Point. Find Ardelia Mapp.

• Tomas Esquivel : So, the transmitter's built into the clip. We'll hear everything, but he won't see it.

  Clarice Starling : [taking it and putting it in her hair]  All right, all right, here. Let me.

  Tomas Esquivel : [seeing the lipstick she's put on]  You going somewhere after this?

  Clarice Starling : [applying make-up, too]  Half the people in that file are young women. Lucas Novak collects them. He controls them, even if it is getting them clean.

  Tomas Esquivel : And you really believe that's what he's doing?

  Clarice Starling : I believe he's a narcissist. I want him to think I took the time to put my face on before he saw me.
