Talking Self-Storage Scene in "Silence of the Lambs"

Was a little under the weather so I spent an evening watching a couple of my favorite flicks on DVD.

I forgot about the self-storage setting early on in "Silence of the Lambs" when Agent Starling (Jodie Foster) goes to the unit of one of Lector's (Anthony Hopkins') patient's units in Baltimore. Of course, the self-storage manager is one of the creepiest characters in the movie and that's saying something. He's a older Russian guy dressed like he's the ghost of Christmas past -- or V in "V for Vendetta."

Does anyone know which scene I'm talking about? I challenge you to identify a creepier self-storage scene in a movie.

The movie is called "Take"....
I def. wouldn't call him creepy.....but it's interesting nonetheless....he has a gambling problem if I remember correctly and steals from customer's units w/out his Father's knowledge, the Owner drives-up when he's in the process of it....he fires him of course on the spot.........
It's a great movie, I love Jeremy Renner............
