Mathilda: This building is full of rats. I don't want the old man to find out. Got enough problems. Leon: [notices a bruise on her face; she slightly bends forward covering it with her hair] What happened? Mathilda: I fell off my bike. Leon: [leaving] Mathilda: Hey. Don't tell my dad about the cigarette okay? Leon: [stops then walks on] [Stansfield comes out from an apartment listening to some music; Mathilda throws the cigarette away; Leon shuts the door (6D) behind him] Father: [upset] I don't know how it happened I mean what's my job? I'm just a holder I hold the stuff just like you give it to me. I don't look at it I don't touch it I don't even know how to cut it. Malky: Try to follow me. In June we gave you the dope it tests a hundred percent pure. Now its July we pick up the dope and it tests ninety percent pure. Now somewhere between June and July ten percent turned to cut. Father: I don't know that's none of my business I'm just a holder. You give me the stuff I hold the stuff that's all I know. Malky: Hey look you know I'm trying to help you outta here. But you know if you're gonna be hard-assed about it I gotta disturb him. Now let me tell ya: When he's into his music he hates being disturbed. Father: I'm telling the truth! Malky: I hope so. Because he's got a talent for sniffing out a lie. It's scary it's almost like a sixth sense. Now you're gonna change your tune or I gotta bust into his. Father: I'm telling you the truth. Malky: [giving up] Alright. [nervous] Stan.. Stan I I'm sorry h-he said he didn't cut the dope. Stansfield: Oh. [turns around with a sick expression; approaches Mathilda's father sniffs at him pats his head] Of course he didn't. [embraces him] Just do me a favor. Find out who did for tomorrow noon. [leaves with Malky] Father: Malky hey wait! Hey I didn't cut your shit! Find out yourself! [to Mathilda] What the hell're you doing out here? Get inside and do your homework. Mathilda: I did it already. Father: Oh yeah? [slaps her face] So you can get inside and help your sister clean up the goddamned house! And stop smoking cigarettes! [Mathilda runs into the apartment shuts the door] ["Leon The Cleaner"] [Leon closes his peep-hole moves his plant away from the window closes it; takes off his cap glasses coat; takes a shower sits in front of a glass of milk irons cleans the plant goes to sleep in a chair] [next morning in Mathilda's apartment] Mathilda: [in the background her half-sister's fitness channel can be heard] Time's up my turn now. Sister: Change the channel and I'll smash your face. [Leon making sit-ups] Mother: [her husband runs into the door she just opened] Sorry sweetheart. [Mathilda embraces her brother who just got up; Mother pats their heads] Mother: [to Sister] Sweetheart turn that down mom has got a headache. Mathilda: She took my turn. Sister: She just wants to watch these goddamned cartoons it wouldn't hurt her to move her ass a bit. Mathilda: I'm not the one with the fat ass around here. Mother: Can someone who's doing nothing all day but watching cartoons move her little ass and go get some food? Sister: Don't dare say that again. [Leon still making sit-ups] Father: Margie I think I screwed up. Mother: [putting on lipstick] It wouldn't be the first time I mean you always come up with something right? Father: Yeah but I think I went a little too far this time. [embracing her from behind and kissing her neck] Mother: I think you're going a little too far right now. I'm gonna be late for work. Father: How about working at home today? [Mathilda switches to the cartoon channel runs away] Mathilda: She's gonna hit me! [opens the door to the bathroom surprises her parents] Father: Shut the goddamned door! [Sister shuts it hits Mathilda with the remote control] Sister: Fucking bitch. [returns to her training] [Mathilda leaning against the wall; the phone rings] Father: Hey can somebody answer the phone!? Sister: I'm busy! Mathilda: [answering the phone] Hello? Headmistress: This is Margaret McAllester headmistress at the Spencer School in Wildwood New Jersey. Is Mr. or Mrs. Lando home? ["She Is Dead"] Mathilda: [with a lowered voice] Yes this is she. Headmistress: Mrs. Lando when your husband enrolled Mathilda at Spencer he told us she had problems. Well as you know we pride ourselves in turning troubled girls into healthy productive young women. But if they are not here there is very little we can do. Now Mathilda left school without permission nearly two weeks ago. I know your husband paid tuition in advance for a year. But if you will refer to page 20 in the "Rules and Regulations Manual" we sent you you will see that unless there is a valid excuse for prolonged absence your tuition will be forfeit. Mathilda: [embittered] She's dead. [hangs up] [Leon finishes his training puts the plant on the window-sill; hears Mathilda's father shouting around as he leaves; watches a Gene Kelley film in cinema] Leon: [comes up the stairs; sees Mathilda's bleeding nose; looks around reaches her his handkerchief] Mathilda: Is life always this hard or just when you're a kid? ["Noon"] Leon: ..Always like this. Mathilda: [shortly looks at the bloodstained handkerchief then turns her eyes back to him] Leon: Keep it. [moves on] Mathilda: Hey. I'm going grocery shopping. Want some milk? One quart or two? It's two right? Leon: [hesitates then nods] Mathilda: [runs down the stairway smiling again] Leon: [in his apartment; takes milk looks at the clock: 3 to 12] [appearing on the corridor: Stansfield's man Benny Blood Veteran Malky Stansfield] [Stansfield takes drugs in his very special way] Stansfield: I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass. You can hear it growing. You can hear the insects bzzz... Leon: [notices sounds coming from outside; observes them through peep-hole] Stansfield: Do you like Beethoven? Malky: [nervous] Couldn't really say. Stansfield: [takes his pumpgun] I'm gonna play you some. [shoots at: the door Sister (missed) Mother] Malky: Benny stay here. [enters] Sister: [running away from Stansfield and his men] Daddy! Daddy! Stansfield: [shoots at Sister again killing her this time] [devastates the kitchen; approaches Father who stands trembling in a corner] Stansfield: We said noon. [tapping his wristwatch] I've got one minute past. [snaps his fingers ending the music] You don't like Beethoven. You don't know what you're missing. Overtures like that get my.. juices flowing. So powerful. But after his openings to be honest he does tend to get a little fucking boring. That's why I stopped! [laughter] Touch the apartment. ["Birds Of Storm"] [Mathilda buying milk] [Stansfield's men searching the apartment] Stansfield: [pointing at Father] You are a Mozart-fan. I love him too. [with a singer's voice] I lo-o-ove Mozart! He was Austrian you know. But for this kind of work he is a little bit light. So I tend to go for the heavier guys. Blood: [investigating a record] Cool. Stansfield's Man: What the fuck are you doing?! Blood: Man keep your bumbakut mouth shut. Stansfield: Check out Brahms he's good too. [goes] Blood: What the fuck do you know about music? Stansfield's Man: Knock it off! Veteran: Checked the mattress? Blood: [still looking at the record] Nope. [Veteran starts cutting it up; Father shoots Stansfield's Man grazes Stansfield; Brother leaves his hiding-place under the bed and runs; Blood wildly shoots around] Blood: Wow. [Father throws away the pumpgun tries to flee but gets shot by Stansfield] Stansfield: [stands up discovers a hole in his suit] Oh fuck! Malky: [hiding under a table in the kitchen] Stan? Stansfield: [to Father] Look what you did. Malky: Stan you're right? Stansfield: [outraged] Look - what - you did! Malky: Stan! Stansfield: [shoots at Father four more times starts reloading his gun] Malky: [holds him off from continuing] Stan what are you doing?! What are you doing he's dead! Stansfield: But he ruined my suit. Malky: I know but he's dead! He's a piece of meat forget about it! Calm down. Stansfield: I'm calm. Malky: Stay there! Stansfield: Okay. Malky: Benny! Benny.. [looks out of the door rushes back as Benny loses his nerves and shoots] Jesus fucking Christ Benny! It's Malky and Stan! [to Stansfield] Come on let's have a cigarette alright? Benny! We're coming out! Benny don't fire! Get in! Jesus fucking Christ Benny! [gives a cigarette to Stansfield] Stansfield: ..you wear something new.. Old Lady: [coming out of her apartment] What's happening out there? Malky: It's alright Mam go in. DEA police. Old Lady: Why don't you leave that poor family alone? Malky: [to Stansfield] Everything's alright okay? Just calm down. [goes into the apartment] Stansfield: I am calm. I'm calm. Old Lady: Why don't you leave them alone? Stansfield: [shoots the window next to her into pieces] He said: Go back inside. ["What's Happening Out There?"] Malky: [enervated] Stan I think it's better if we go inside alright? [pushes him into the apartment] [Mathilda returns from shopping; sees Veteran guarding their door where her father's body is lying; hears Malky from inside] Malky: Benny turn the kitchen upside down find that shit. Willie Blood look what you did! You killed the four year old kid! Did you really have to do that?! [Mathilda walks on to Leon's door rings] Mathilda: [crying as quietly as possible] Please open the door.. please.. [rings twice] ..please.. [rings twice] [Leon opens; light falling on Mathilda's face; she enters fills the refrigerator] Malky: [finds a photo] Benny there are three kids here. I think Stan killed this girl and Willie that asshole shot the little boy. The third one's missing. Find her. Benny: [to Veteran as he leaves the apartment] Oh shit hey we missed a little girl man. I'm gonna try to find the fucking super of this goddamned building. [Veteran becomes suspicious slowly approaches Leon's apartment; Leon prepares to shoot him through the door] [Mathilda turns on the TV; Leon startled; Veteran goes back again] Blood: Yo I found it! Stansfield: Bingo! Malky: Stan he found it. Stansfield: I know. Malky: It's the cops outside we better go. Stansfield: It's the cops outside we better go. You stay here. Blood: What do you want me to tell them? Stansfield: Tell them.. we were doing.. our job. ["Cute Name"] Leon: What's your name? Mathilda: Mathilda. Leon: Sorry about your father. Mathilda: 'f somebody didn't do it one day or another I would've probably done it myself. Leon: Your mother she .. Mathilda: 's not my mother. My sister she wanted to lose some weight anyway. Bet she never looked better. Not even my real sister. Just a half sister and not a good half at that. Leon: If you couldn't stand them why are you crying? Mathilda: Because they killed my brother. What the hell did he do? He was four years old he never used to cry just used to sit next to me and cuddle. I was more mother to him than that goddamned pig ever was. Leon: Hey don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually much nicer than people. Mathilda: But they smell like shit. Leon: [shakes his finger] Not true. As a matter of fact right now I have one in my kitchen. That's very clean smells very nice. Mathilda: You don't have a pig in your kitchen. Leon: Yes I do. Mathilda: I was just in there and I didn't see any goddamned pig. Leon: Don't move I'll get him. [disappears in the kitchen] Piggy! Piggy where are you? [grunting] Ah there you are. [grunting playing Piggy] Hi Mathilda. Mathilda: [a little consoled] Hi Piggy. Leon: [still playing] Hi. [takes place at the table playing] How are you today? Mathilda: I've seen better days. Leon: [continues grunting a little then starts feeling uncomfortable about his question] Mathilda: What's your name? Leon: Leon. Mathilda: [her eyes fixed on him] Cute name. Leon: [spills a whole glass of milk over his face] Do you have anyone you can go to any family any place else? Mathilda: [shakes her head] Leon: [sighs notices that there is no milk left] I'm gonna get some more milk. Mathilda: [finds a bullet opens the box next to her containing Leon's equipment] Oh shit. Leon: [returns with milk closes the box and sits down] Don't touch that please. Mathilda: Leon what exactly do you do for a living? Leon: [uncomfortable] Cleaner. Mathilda: You mean you're a hitman? Leon: Yeah. Mathilda: Cool. Leon: [surprised look] Mathilda: [pours him a glass of milk] Do you clean anyone? Leon: No women no kids that's the rules. Mathilda: How much would it cost to hire someone to get those dirtbags who killed my brother? Leon: Five grand a head. Mathilda: Wow. How about this: I work for you and in exchange you teach me how to clean. Hm? What do you think? I'll clean your place I'll do the shopping I'll even wash your clothes. Is it a deal? Leon: No it's not a deal. Mathilda: [grieved] What do you want me to do hm? I've got no place to go. Leon: You've had a rough day today. Go to sleep and we'll see tomorrow okay? [in the sleeping room] Leon: [awkwardly covers Mathilda with a blanket] Mathilda: You've been really great with me Leon. And it's not always like that y' know? [embraces two of his fingers] Good night. Leon: [confused switches the lights off and leaves the room] [Unknown Song] [Leon sits in the darkness unable to sleep; stands up puts a silencer on a gun and enters Mathilda's room determined; aims but can't do it; goes away again] [next morning; Leon puts his plant on the window and starts training; hears Mathilda] Leon: Sleep well? Mathilda: [nods] Leon: Good. Because after breakfast you gotta take off. Mathilda: Where to? Leon: Not my problem. [goes to clean his guns] Mathilda: [throws a piece of paper on the table] Read it. Leon: [takes it] .. aahm .. Mathilda: You don't know how to read. Leon: I'm learning but.. I had a lot of work lately so.. I'm a little behind. What's it say? Mathilda: I've decided what to do with my life. I wanna be a cleaner. Leon: Wanna be a cleaner? Here. [puts a gun and ammunition in front of her] Take it. It's a goodbye gift. Go clean. But not with me. I work alone understand? Alone. Mathilda: Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best. Leon: [sighs] Mathilda why are doing this to me? I've been nothing but nice to you I even saved your life yesterday right outside the door. Mathilda: Right so now you're responsible for it. If you saved my life you must have saved it for a good reason. If you threw me out now it's like you never opened your door. You could've let me die right there in front of it. But you did open it. So.. Leon: Mathilda.. Mathilda: If you don't help me I'll die tonight. I can feel it. But I don't want to die tonight. Leon: Mathilda you're just a.. little girl so.. don't take it badly but I don't think you could do it. I'm sorry. Mathilda: [determined takes the gun goes to the window and shoots six times puts it back] How's that? Leon: [speechless] ["What's Happening Out There?" - modified version] [on the street with their baggage] Leon: [walking angrily suddenly stops] Mathilda don't you ever do that again or I'll break your head you got that? Mathilda: Okay. Leon: I don't work like that. It's not professional. There is rules. Mathilda: Okay. Leon: [angry] And stop saying "Okay" all the time okay? Mathilda: ...Okay. Leon: Good. [continues his way followed by Mathilda] [they enter the hall of the "Hotel National"] Mathilda: Hi! Receptionist: [sees the violin-case] [grumpy] Expect to use that in this hotel? Mathilda: Mister.. I have to use it because.. I have an audition at Julliard next month and.. I have to practice. Receptionist: [softened] Ah okay okay okay. But not after ten hm? Mathilda: Okay I promise. Receptionist: Alright. I'm gonna put you at the end of the hall so that you don't disturb anyone. [pushing some papers to Leon] Would you fill those out please? Leon: [uneasy look] Mathilda: Oh ahm daddy can I please fill them out you know how I like to check in to hotels. Leon: [surprised by her quick reaction nods] Mathilda: Thanks pap. [to the receptionist] I'll bring these back in a minute. Receptionist: Fourth floor! Mathilda: [running up the stairs] Thanks mister! Receptionist: Oh you're lucky to have a little girl that's interested in things. I have a kid seventeen does nothing all day long. Leon: Can I leave my plant here while I take my stuff upstairs? Receptionist: Of course. Mathilda: [to Leon who just entered and immediately starts investigating the apartment] Hi. [writing] I'm putting in the name of a girl in my class who makes me sick. When things get hot she'll take the heat. [Leon finally takes place] Mathilda: There finished. NC Leon: How old are you? Mathilda: Eighteen. Leon: Eighteen? Mathilda: Wanna see my license? Leon: No. You just look a little.. younger. Mathilda: Thanks. NC-over Mathilda: [sits down in front of him] Leon I want you to teach me how to be like you. I wanna be strong like you smart like you. Leon: Mathilda.. Mathilda: I know I'm not strong enough yet but I can learn the basics the theory. What do you think? Just the theory. I need this Leon. I need time to get my head together. Leon: Yeah and I need... a drink. Mathilda: Don't move I'll go get one. [at Tony's] Leon: Salute. Tony: [lights a cigarette beholds one of his men who puts down a suitcase next to him] You know when you told me to get this baby out for you I thought my hearing's going. I says to myself Leon's a pro nobody uses that except beginners. Leon: I like to stay in shape. Tony: Sure. Always stay on top. It's like me I gotta know where everything is all the time. That's why I don't leave this place except to go from here to there. Leon: [slightly uncomfortable smiles] Tony: Change ain't good Leon. You know? Leon: [his smile fades] Yeah. Tony: [places the suitcase on the table] Check it. Make sure it's the right thing. Leon: I trust you. Tony: One thing's got nothing to do with the other. Remember that Leon. Leon: I will. [opens it] ["Feel The Breath"] [on the roof] Leon: [assembling the rifle] The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro the closer you can get to the client. The knife for example is the last thing you learn. Okay? Mathilda: Okay. Leon: Position. [they lie down near the edge; closes the lid of the objective one second after Mathilda opened it] No never take it off until the last minute it reflects light. They can see you coming from a mile away. And always dress down never brighter than the floor. Okay? Mathilda: Okay. Leon: Let's practice now. It's the best way to learn. [takes out his binoculars] Mathilda: Who should I hit? Leon: Whoever. [Jogger apparently a politician gets out of a limousine followed by bodyguards] Jogger: I'll be with you in a second alright give me a few minutes thank you thanks a lot. [to his bodyguards] You guys in the suits get lost I don't wanna see you alright? It has to look natural. Mathilda: [aiming at a group of playing children] No women no kids right? Leon: Right. Mathilda: Jogger in the yellow and orange? Leon: Okay. Keep calm. Don't take your eyes off him. Breathe easy. Watch his movement. Pretend you're running with him. Try to feel his next movement. Take a deep breath - hold it. Now. [red spot appears on the Jogger's shirt] Jogger: [covered by his upset bodyguards] I'm alright! I'm fine I'm fine! Mathilda: One shot not bad huh? Jogger: I'm fine just please get down from me! Mathilda: Can we try with real bullets now? Leon: Not today let's pack up. [pack up and go away] ["Venus As A Boy" by Bj拦k] [Leon showing Mathilda how to handle a gun; Mathilda washing the laundry cleaning the window coming home from shopping washing the dishes cleaning guns; Leon putting his plant on the window; both of them making sit-ups; Leon offering a glass of milk] Mathilda: No thanks. Leon: No discussion. [Mathilda obeys reluctantly; puts milk into the refrigerator; goes to bed exhausted while Leon sits down in a chair as usual; Leon putting his plant on the window again waking Mathilda up; making sit-ups alone: Mathilda doing fitness training in front of the TV; pouring her a glass of milk; Mathilda teaching Leon how to write] Mathilda: It seemed... to Socrates... to So-cra-tes... [Mathilda having trouble with loading a gun] Leon: I'll do it. [finishes the procedure after a few moments returns the gun to impressed Mathilda] [Leon putting his plant on the window once more pouring her a glass of milk again] Mathilda: Leon all we do is work.

Mathilda: I was just about to say that I swear. It's amazing Leon really brilliant.. Leon: [walks off with sadly lowered head] Mathilda: Amazing.. ["How Do You Know It's Love?" - strongly modified version] Mathilda: [observing Leon cleaning his plant] You love your plant don't you? Leon: It's my best friend. Always happy no questions. And it's like me you see? [lifts it up points at the empty space below it] No roots. [smiles] Mathilda: If you really love it you should plant it in the middle of a park so that it can have roots. Leon: ..Yeah. Mathilda: I'm the one that should be watered if you want me to grow. Leon: You're right. [grabs the squeeze-bottle and splashes Mathilda; she runs away returns with a bucket full of water] No... Mathilda: Yes... Leon: ... no.. Mathilda: ... yes.. Leon: ..no.. Mathilda: ..Yes! Leon: ..No! [Mathilda throws the bucket at Leon flees followed by him; he catches her in the bathroom puts her into the wardrobe; the fierce battle makes its sliding door break off] [at Tony's] Tony: [in the kitchen to the cooks] They gotta be jumping out of the plate they gotta be alive. [bringing a meal for Leon and an old man] It's been a long time Leon. I missed you. And you missed some nice jobs too. Leon: Been training. Tony: Training's good. But don't overdo it eh you know training don't pay as good as working Leon. Leon: Tony.. all the money I.. make that you keep for me.. Tony: You need some money? Leon: No just curious. Tony: Ah. Leon: Because I've been working a long time and I haven't done anything with my money... I thought maybe some day I could... use it. ["Tony The IBM"] Tony: You met a woman. Leon: [shakes his head firmly] Tony: [sighs] Leon... Leon you gotta be careful with women. Remember when you arrived in this country Leon. When I took you in you were still wet behind the fucking ears and already you were in deep shit because of a woman. Don't forget that Leon. Leon: Wish I could sometimes. You know about my money maybe I.. maybe I could give.. little.. to someone... you know.. to help out. Tony: Hey it's your money I mean I'm just holding it for you you know like a bank except that you know better than a bank because you know banks get always knocked off. And no one knocks off old Tony. And besides in a bank there's always tons of forms to be filled and all that shit. But old Tony nothing to read nothing to write - it's all in his head. Leon: I know how to read now. Tony: That's good Leon good. Your money is here whenever you want it you just ask me okay? Here's a grand. Leon: [reluctant] Tony: Come on take it have some fun right?

Mathilda: Leon get a grip. What's the big fucking deal I was just smoking a butt while I was waiting. Leon: I want you to stop cursing. You can't talk to people like that all the time. I want you to make an effort to talk nice. Mathilda: Okay. Leon: And I want you to stop smoking 't will kill you. Mathilda: [throws away the cigarette] Okay.

["How Do You Know It's Love?"] Mathilda: [lying on the bed] Leon I think I'm kind of falling in love with you. Leon: [spills another glass of milk over his face] Mathilda: It's the first time for me you know. Leon: How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before? Mathilda: Because I feel it. Leon: Where? Mathilda: Here in my stomach. It's all warm. I always had a knot there and now.. it's gone. Leon: Mathilda I'm glad you don't have a stomach ache any more but I don't think that means anything. I'm late for work. I hate being late for work. [puts on his coat picks up his equipment; leaves] ["Noon" - shortened] [shuts the door behind him; leans against the wall looking unusually tired; puts on his glasses] Receptionist: Ah how's the practicing going? [Leon marches past without answering] Receptionist: And how are we today Miss? Mathilda: I'm sick of practicing. Receptionist: Yeah I understand. But are you doing all right? I haven't received any complaints at all. Mathilda: Well I put a cloth over the strings to lessen the noise. Receptionist: Oh that's very smart. Mathilda: Not everyone loves music. Receptionist: Yeah I know. What exactly does your father do? Mathilda: Hm he's a composer. Receptionist: Ah that's wonderful. Mathilda: Except he's not really my father. [looks at him] He's my lover. Receptionist: [shocked] Mathilda: I'm gonna go for a walk. [indicates "Bye" with her lips] ["Back On The Crime Scene"] [Mathilda goes to her former hotel; a policeman guarding the apartment is busy talking to his girlfriend] Girlfriend: What're you doing on Saturday? Policeman: What about dinner? Girlfriend: Aahm.. Policeman: [to Mathilda] Hey where are you going? Mathilda: Visiting friends at 6J. Policeman: Ah okay right. [continues his conversation as Mathilda slips through the door] [Mathilda picks up a teddybear; depressed after seeing the outline of her brother's body on the floor; retrieves a bunch of money from a secret place; hides when she hears footsteps] Old Detective: We know you're a busy man and we'll try to make this as short as possible. Now if you just take us step by step through exactly what happened. Stansfield: [bored] The guy was here he went for his gun bang we shot him. [critical looks from the Detectives] Serious Det.: Where exactly were the kids? Stansfield: I don't know. They should have been at school don't you think? Old Detective: But in the statement you said you were the first man in didn't you see any kids? Serious Det.: The door was broken what happened? Did you follow the procedure? Stansfield: [getting aggressive] I lost a good man here. What the fuck do want with me? Serious Det.: Cooperation. Stansfield: [exploding] I haven't got time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit! You want cooperation? Come up my office will you? Fortysix-o-two. [storms out ignoring the yellow tape] ["Room 4602"] [outside; takes away the basketball from a kid that crosses his way] Kids should be at school. Kid: Hey! Hey come on that's my ball! [Stansfield passes it to Benny] Hey give that back! Hey come on where are you going? Damn! Where are you going man? That's my ball! Mathilda: [gets into a taxi] Follow the blue car! Taxi Driver: And I suppose you want me to blast the music and go through the lights eh? Mathilda: No. Drive slowly. Take the hundred bugs and shut the fuck up okay? [silently accepted by him] [Mathilda follows him to the DEA building] [in the apartment; Mathilda watches cartoons; Leon enters blood flowing down his right hand which she doesn't notice] Leon: [puts a "Cignal"-sac on the table smiling] It's for you. A present. Do you want me to open it? I'll open it. [reveals a pink dress to her] How do you like it? Nice eh? [Mathilda remains indifferent] [knocks at the door] Receptionist: Mr. McGoffen? [Leon opens the door] [strict look] Can I have a word with you? ["Can I Have A Word With You?"] [again carrying their baggage through the streets; Mathilda inspects the new apartment the teddybear in her arms; Leon under the shower suturing his wound] DC [Leon comes out of the bathroom looks around; Mathilda pours him a glass of milk which makes him sit down] Mathilda: Here it's for a contract 20 grand right? His name is Norman Stansfield and he's in room 4602 in the DEA building 26 Federal Plaza. Leon: I'm not taking it. Mathilda: Why not? Leon: Too heavy. Mathilda: Well will you rent me your gear for the day? Leon: I never lend out my gear. But [pushes a revolver towards Mathilda] you still have your gun use it. Just do me a favor don't shoot out the window okay. Mathilda: Why are you so mean to me? You're all day killing people you don't give a shit about but you won't get the bastards that killed my whole family? ["The Fight (part 1: The Swat Squad)"] Leon: Revenge is not good Mathilda. Believe it is better to forget. Mathilda: To forget? After I've seen the outline of my brother's body on the floor you expect me to forget? I want to kill those sons of a bitches and I'll blow their fucking heads off! Leon: Nothing's the same after you've killed someone. Your life is changed forever. Why have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life. Mathilda: I don't give a shit about sleeping Leon. I want love or death. That's it. Leon: Love or death. Get off my case Mathilda I'm tired of your games. Mathilda: There's this really great game Leon. Makes people nicer starts them thinking. The kind of game you love. [puts three bullets into the gun spins the chamber shuts it] If I win you keep me with you. For life. Leon: And if you lose? Mathilda: You go shopping alone like before. Leon: You're gonna lose Mathilda. There's a round in the chamber. I heard it. Mathilda: So what .. 's it to you if I end up with a bullet in the head huh? Leon: Nothing. Mathilda: I hope you're not lying Leon. I really hope that deep down inside there is no love in you. Because if there is.. just a little bit of love in you I think that in a few minutes you'll regret you never said anything. [puts the gun to her head] I love you Leon. [slowly pulls the trigger] Leon: [rushes forward pulls her hand away; the shot knocks down a lamp behind them] Mathilda: [crying heavily] I win. [at Tony's; Mathilda and Leon sitting at a table in front of him] Leon: I ah I took a hit. I need a hand now. I know she is young but she learns fast. Kids need to be shaped into something right? Tony: Yeah I know I told you that. But ain't there an age limit? Leon: She's eighteen. Tony: Oh really? Leon: How about something to drink Tony? Tony: Yes sure Manolo a glass of milk for Leon. Mathilda: Nice tattoo. [wide grin] Leon: [looks from Tony to Mathilda and back again surprised and embarrassed] Tony: Manolo make that two. ["Feel The Breath" - strongly modified] [in a hallway] Mathilda: [looking at Leon who puts on his cap] What's that for? Leon: Can't afford to catch a cold. [sticks chewing gum on the peephole] First you find out where the chain is. You can't see it but you can feel it.. here. I ring you start talking. Mathilda: What do I say? Leon: Whatever you want. [rings moves the bolt cutter to the right position] Voice: Yes? Mathilda: Hi it's Susan. Voice: I'm sorry you must have the wrong door little girl. I don't know any Susan. Move back a little I can't see anything. Mathilda: The light's out. It's all dark out here... mister I'm scared. Voice: Okay okay. [opens the door] [Leon snaps the chain rushes into the apartment followed by Mathilda] Leon: Open up. [jams a pistol into the Drug Dealer's mouth] If it leaves your mouth I'll pull the trigger capiche? [Drug Dealer nods] [checks the apartment] Here is okay. [to Dealer] Let it go. I said let it go. [Dealer obeys] Move. Move over. Dealer: [stumbles over the bed as he moves to the window very scared] Leon: [to Mathilda] Go ahead your turn. Mathilda: [opens her box containing a pistol with silencer assembles it quickly] Dealer: Ahm sir.. sir ahm.. sir? Sir it's not my dope. Sir.. look I.. it's not my dope.. Mathilda: [takes firing position] A little left please. [Dealer is surprised but obeys] [shoots a paintball at the Dealer's shirt] Dealer: [screams] Leon: Okay now the security shot. [Mathilda fires another paintball Dealer screams again] No the second goes higher on the chest. Aim for the heart and lungs. There right there you see? The first shot takes him out of order the second finishes him. [Dealer curses around out of breath] Never in the face. If they can't recognize the client you don't get paid. Because you could take out anybody and say you did the job. Got it? Mathilda: Got it never in the face. Leon: Okay now you can put the tools away. [Mathilda walks back to her box] Dealer: What the fuck is going on?? Hey mister.. [Leon shoots him] Leon: You'll see when you use the silencer a lot you have to put a piece of cloth here because it gets very hot and can burn it inside. A damp black cloth is the best. What're you doing? Mathilda: You said no women no kids. Who do you think this is gonna kill donkeys and monkeys? [Mathilda spills some inflammable liquid over the drugs ignites it] Now it's clean. Leon: Let's get out of here. ["The Game Is Over"] [in an expensive restaurant] Mathilda: I thought we don't have the right to drink. Leon: I know but we're making an exception. For your first client. Mathilda: Well if we're making exceptions for a job well done how about a kiss? Like in the movies. Leon: [shakes his head] No. Mathilda: Yes.. [leans over] Leon: What're you doing? Mathilda: I'm gonna kiss you. Leon: Mathilda stop please. Mathilda: Come on just a kiss. Leon: Stop everyone is watching us. Basta go sit down. [pushes her back] [Mathilda receives a bottle of champagne from the waiter pours it into her glass spilling most of it over the table] Waiter: Enjoy... Leon: [hides the bottle under the table] Mathilda: You don't believe me do you? Leon: How's that? Mathilda: When I say I'm in love with you. Leon: Mathilda please drop it. Just change subject okay? Mathilda: Okay okay sorry... So how old were you when you made your first hit? Leon: Nineteen. Mathilda: Beat ya! [drinks up her glass of champagne followed by the laughter sequence] [Unknown Song] [in a hallway again] Leon: [looking at Mathilda who puts on a cap] What're you doing? Mathilda: Can't afford to catch a cold. [they visit several clients following the same procedure as above; but the next one makes problems] Mathilda: There's no doorbell. Leon: So knock on the door. [she knocks] Voice: Yes? Mathilda: Hi. I'm looking for Mr. Rubens' apartment. But it's all dark out here in the hall and I'm lost. Voice: Just a second. Leon: [hears the sound of a lever being pulled on a gun; grabs Mathilda swings her around to the other side as a barrage of bullets come blasting through the door] Voice: You want more? C'mon show me your fucking face! Think you can get me that easily? [continues shooting] Leon: When it's tough like this you know it's gonna be ugly. Better make it quick or else you will be all day listening to his crap. [to cursing guy inside] Hey. What about the Ring Trick you know that one? Voice: Ring Trick? C'mon asshole I'm waiting. Show it to me motherfucker. Leon: [throws a grenade in protecting Mathilda from the explosion with his body; shows her the grenade pin] That's the Ring Trick. DC-over [Leon appears in front of Tony's] Tony: [to his barber] Mario go back to the barber shop we'll finish later. [Mario leaves as Leon enters] Hey Leon what's up? All done already? Leon: No no. [investigating some plastic pigs] Nicer than people eh? Tony: [amused] I told you that. You got a problem? Leon: No. Tony: Get the chair sit down sit. Leon: [sits down in front of him] I.. I was.. thinking. If something happens to me some day.. Tony: Hey Leon nothing's gonna happen to you. You're indestructible bullets slide off you you play with them. Leon: Tony I.. thought about my money. [Tony seems to feel uncomfortable] You remember the.. the girl who came here the other day? Tony: ... Yeah. Leon: Her name is.. Mathilda. If anything happens to me I... I'd like you to give her... my money. Tony: You can count on me Leon. Leon: Thank you Tony. Tony: Yeah. DC [in their apartment Leon preparing to go] Leon: I won't be long. Mathilda: Did I do something wrong? Leon: No. This one is.. too big. Mathilda: Yeah and I only get the leftovers is that it? Leon: Mathilda since I met you everything's been different. So I... just need some time alone. And you need some time to grow up a little. Mathilda: I've finished growing up Leon. I just get older. Leon: For me it's the opposite. I'm.. old enough. I need time to grow up. [leaves slowly] Mathilda: ... Shit. ["What's Happening Out There?" - shortened] [Mathilda smoking on the open window thinking; filling the refrigerator; cleaning the plant; watching TV; throws away a lighted cigarette while sitting downstairs; noticed by four youngsters playing basketball] Leader: [to his gang] Come on. [to Mathilda] You're new aren't you? Fifth floor right? [Mathilda nods] Well you can't sit here like that. Mathilda: [unimpressed] Really? Why not? Leader: Nothing's free. Like a parking meter. When you stop you pay. It's the law. Mathilda: Only on TV... Leader: What did you say? Mathilda: Forget it how much is your meter? Leader: Ten dollars.. a month. Mathilda: [takes a 100 dollar bill from a whole bunch of money] Got change? [impressed sounds and countenances shake their heads] Don't worry about it we'll do ten for twelve. I'll pay now for the rest of the year okay? Leader: [perplexed] ..Okay a year. Mathilda: Does paying rent here mean I have to put up with you guys? Leader: Uh.. no. Mathilda: So go play somewhere else. I need to think. [they run away] DC-over ["Very Special Delivery"] [in their apartment; Mathilda puts on her working outfit including Leon's glasses; waits in front of the DEA building; Stansfield and Blood arrive walk towards the entrance; Mathilda starts pursuing them with a sack in her arms quickly turns her back to Stansfield as he returns to say something to the driver; at the security check she pushes the sack past the metal detector] Security 1: [bored] Food. Security 2: Where are you going? Mathilda: Special delivery for room 4602. Security 2: Sign here. [to some leaving girls] Have a nice weekend girls. [follows Stansfield to the gentlemen's room predicts him to be in the toilet at its end; but he appears behind the door she had forgotten to close startling her as he shuts it] Stansfield: [indifferently looking into a mirror] Special delivery huh? Let me guess.. [shakes his little drug box] Chinese..? Thai maybe..? I've got it. Italian food. [consumes a capsule] [with a satisfied look] What's your name angel? Mathilda: Mathilda. Stansfield: [whispering] ..Mathilda. [washes his face sneezes] Mathilda I want you to put the sack on the floor. Mathilda: [obeys trembling] Stansfield: Good. [pulls his gun coming closer] And now I want you to tell me everything you know about Italian food. And don't forget the name of the chef who fixed it for me. Mathilda: Nobody sent me. I do business for myself. Stansfield: So t - t - this is something p - personal is it? Mathilda: [nods scared and crying] Stansfield: What filthy piece of.. of sh - shit.. did I do now? Mathilda: You killed my brother. Stansfield: ... I'm sorry. [bends down to her] And you want to join him? Mathilda: ..No. Stansfield: It's always the same thing. [touches her hair] It's when you start to become really afraid of death.. that you learn to appreciate life. Do you like life sweetheart? Mathilda: ..Yes. Stansfield: [fondling her] That's good. Because.. I take no pleasure.. in taking life.. if it's from a person who doesn't care about it. [slowly moves his gun near her face] Blood: [enters breathlessly] Stan! Stan shit Stan I've been looking all over for you man I've checked upstairs and.. Stansfield: What? I'm busy! Blood: It's Malky man he's dead. [Stansfield turns away from Mathilda] Malky was making a buy for us from the Chinamen. Yo but they got nothing to do with it man. They told me this guy came from the outside. He was a pro he was fast. He fucking came outta nowhere. Boom. Shoots the chinamen dead in two seconds. (Malky: Easy man I'm a cop.) Then turns around says something to Malky like.. (Leon: No women no kids.) ([Leon kills Malky]) [Stansfield dismayed looks at Mathilda sighs] I think it was something personal. Stansfield: Death is... whimsical today. [moves beside Blood aims at Mathilda; takes his hand down the gun pointing at Blood who starts getting afraid] Blood you hear me? Blood: Yeah man I hear you Stan just chill out man. Stansfield: Would you take her up to my office? Blood: Alright yeah. [Stansfield leaves] Jesus fucking Christ.. ["When Leon Does His Best"] [in their apartment Leon has just returned from work] Mathilda: [read by Leon in her letter] Leon my love. I know where to find the guys who killed my brother. Their boss is Norman Stansfield and he is in the DEA building room 4602. I'm gonna do that myself. If something goes wrong I left you 20 grand on the table. It's for a contract five grand a head right? I know I'll feel better after I do this. I love you - Mathilda. [a Taxi arrives in front of the DEA building] Leon: Wait for me I won't be long. Taxi Driver: I can't park in front like this it's a federal building! [marches through the metal detector knocks down the security officer; surprises another while he's telephoning] [in Stanfield's office] Blood: [examining the sack's contents in front of crying Mathilda] ..Nine milli... bullets... and another nine milli. What did you plan to do with all these guns eh? Veteran: [cynical] Maybe she was planning on taking out the whole building. Blood: Holy shit what've we got here? Lunch. [takes out a piece of pizza] Veteran: Careful Blood. Might be poisoned. Blood: No man there's not anchovies on this. [Leon rushes in shoots him and the Veteran dead; Mathilda jumps into his arms; Leon heaves a sigh of relief holds her for a few seconds] [back in the taxi] Taxi Driver: Is that what you call "I won't be long"? I was hanging around here for at least ten minutes! Leon: I did my best. Avanti. DC [in their apartment; Leon takes his plant off the window examines it as Mathilda enters the room wearing the red dress he had bought her] Mathilda: Do you like it? [pours him a glass of milk] Leon: Yes. Mathilda: So say it. Leon: I like it. Mathilda: [smiles; reaches him the glass takes place next to him] Not thirsty? [Leon nearly empties it] A girl's first time is very important. It determines the rest of her life's sexuality. I read that once in one of my sister's magazines. Girlfriends told me that they hated their first experience. That's because they didn't love their guys. They just did it to show off. Afterwards they started liking it like cigarettes. I wanna like it the first time. Leon: Mathilda no. Mathilda: Why not? Leon: I just can't. Mathilda: Do you love someone else? ["Leon The Cleaner"] Leon: No.. I mean... there was someone a long time ago. Before I came to the States. Her father didn't want her to see me. She was from a very respectable family. Mine was.. well not so respectable. Her dad went nuts every time she took off to see me. Mathilda: But she still snuck off to see you right? Leon: Right. Mathilda: See nothing can stop love Leon. Leon: He killed her. One shot to the head. They kept him in jail for two days and then let him go free. They said it was an accident. So... one night I... waited for him. 500 feet with a lens. He also had an accident. The same night I took a boat and came here to meet up with my father. He was working for Tony. I was nineteen. Since then I've.. never left the city and... I've never had another girlfriend. You see Mathilda.. I wouldn't be a good lover. Mathilda: Okay. Just do me one favor. Leon: What? Mathilda: I'm sick of watching you sleeping on your chair. We're gonna share the bed. Leon: I don't think that's a good idea. ["How Do You Know It's Love?"] [on the bed; Mathilda gently pushes Leon down] Mathilda: It's okay.. put your legs up on the bed.. yeah that's nice. [takes off his shoes] Put your head down it's okay relax. [switches the lights off lies down pulls his arm around her] Good night Leon. Leon: ...Good night. [Mathilda falls asleep] DC-over [at Tony's in the evening; Tony celebrating birthday with the kids when a mean looking guy with a pumpgun comes in] Tony: Manolo take the kids in the kitchen. [Stansfield Benny and several other men enter; in the kitchen the kids bump into another one; Stansfield sits down in front of Tony amidst birthday balloons doesn't look too happy] Stansfield: [puts his gun on the table] I have a lot of respect for your business Tony. When you've.. you've killed for us in the past we've.. we've always been satisfied. And that's exactly why today is going to be very very hard for me. Excuse my mood.. [presents him a photo of dead Malky] My man was killed right here in your turf. And the Chinks tell me that the hitman was kind of the ah.. Italian type. So we figured that ah.. Tony might know something. Tony: Ah.. Stansfield: Wait there's more. You're gonna love this. A few hours later a little twelve year old girl comes into my office armed to the teeth with the firm intention of sending me straight to the morgue. And you know who came and got her in the middle of the afternoon right there in my building? The very same Italian hitman. I'm dying to meet him. [in their apartment] Leon: [startles as he wakes up on the bed] Mathilda: Relax everything's fine. Sleep well? Leon: I never really sleep. Got one eye open always. Mathilda: Oh I forgot. You know I never saw someone with one eye open snore so much. Leon: I snore? Mathilda: Like a baby. And I go get some milk for breakfast I won't be long. Leon: Don't forget the code when you come back. Mathilda: Two knocks then one and two knocks again right? Leon: Right. [while Mathilda takes a shower Leon stretches over the whole bed and continues sleeping] ["The Fight (part 1: The Swat Squad)"] [in the shop] Mathilda: Hola senor! Ring these up and I go get some milk. [happily returns observed by Stansfield; a few meters in front of the apartment she is suddenly pulled aside by a Swat holding her tight] Main Swat: From here out now you don't make a sound. You answer my questions by nodding yes or shaking your head no you got it? Mathilda: [nods fearfully] Main Swat: Is he alone? [Mathilda nods] Does he expect you? [nods] Do you have keys to the apartment? [reaches him the keys] Is there a code a way of knowing so he knows it's you? [Mathilda hesitates then nods; knocks a wrong code - 321] [he signals to his men the attack begins] [a Swat knocks the wrong code] Main Swat: [to the walkie-talkie] Alpha-Team final position we're ready to go. Stansfield: [to the walkie-talkie] Be careful. [Swat unlocks the door and enters followed by three others; as soon as they are all inside the door closes and shots are fired] ["The Fight (part 2: Bring Me Everyone)"] Main Swat: [upset pushing one of his men away] Move move! [takes a look around the corner: the door opens revealing the dead Swats] Shit. [to the walkie-talkie] Alpha team men dead men dead. Stansfield: [to the walkie-talkie] I told you. Benny. Bring me everyone. Benny: What do you mean "everyone"? Stansfield: Everyone!!! [Benny follows his order and a few minutes later the whole area is full of policemen and Swats] [another Swat slowly enters the apartment this time heavily secured by Swats outside; Leon manages to kill them all but gets shot in his shoulder] Main Swat: [quite clueless] Take this. [hands his rifle to one of his men] [to the walkie-talkie] Aahm.. [to one of his men] Go take a look. [he does breathing heavily; as he stretches his head out he sees Leon's gun directly in front of him] Leon: [exhausted] Don't move. Main Swat: Do you see anything? Swat: [nods slowly] It's the guy. He's here he's got a gun on my head. [they shrink back Mathilda tries to call his name] Main Swat: Okay nobody moves. Leon: Let the girl go. Main Swat: Take it easy man.. Leon: Let the girl go! Main Swat: Okay the girl's coming out. [to the Swat holding Mathilda] Let the girl go. [the Swat releases her Mathilda spits into his face falls into Leon's arm] Leon: [to Mathilda] Grab the axe off the wall. Over there go. [to the Swat] You're coming with us. [takes him hostage while Mathilda gets the axe] [before following Mathilda into the apartment he shoots at a fire sensor at the ceiling causing the water to go off; shoots into the air four times; leaves the Swat outside] Main Swat: Christ he shot him! [jumps out shoots without seeing anything because of the water] Bastard! [they kill their own man; Leon returns fire through a hole in the door hitting one of them; they draw back] Main Swat: Shut the fucking water off! Swat: Got it. Leon: [taking the axe from trembling Mathilda] Go! Main Swat: [to the walkie-talkie] We're in a bad way here send the Cats I repeat send the Cats! Mathilda: [crying and sobbing] I don't know what happened I didn't see them coming I swear I just went shopping and I came back and they were everywhere they.. [overwhelmed by her tears] Leon: Stay away from the window. [whirls past the window snatching his plant narrowly escaping the snipers' bullets] Mathilda: Leon? Leon.. [rises cautiously sees the apartment crossed by target lasers] Leon: [motions Mathilda to come over; she crawls to him] Snipers. [outside the water is turned off] Main Swat: Okay now get this fucking asshole outta there. ["The Fight (part 3: The Big Weapon)"] Mathilda: [hiding in the corner] How are we gonna get out of here Leon? Leon: Leave it to me we're checking out. [knocks down a table to protect Mathilda from fragments; breaks an air shaft open with several gunshots and the axe; envelops the plant in his coat throws it down the shaft; helps Mathilda get inside] Mathilda: Leon it's not big enough for you. [starts climbing out again] Leon: What? Mathilda: It's barely big enough for me. Leon: We said no discussion. [pushing her back] Mathilda: No! I'm not letting.. Leon: Listen to me.. Mathilda: [desperate] I'm not going! Leon: Listen.. Mathilda: I won't go! I won't go! Leon: [trying to calm her down] Listen to me listen to me listen to me we have no chance together but if I'm alone I can do it trust me I'm in good shape Mathilda I know I worked a lot of money with Tony a lot we'll take it and leave together just the two of us okay? Go! Mathilda: No! You just say that so that I won't worry! [Swats preparing the big weapon] I don't wanna lose you Leon! Leon: [embracing her] You're not gonna lose me Mathilda you've given me a taste for life I wanna be happy sleep in a bed have roots you'll never be alone again Mathilda. [Swats making progress] Please go now baby go. Calm down calm down. Go. Go. See you at Tony's. I'm gonna clean them all. Tony's in one hour. [Swat putting his finger around the trigger] I love you Mathilda. Mathilda: I love you too Leon. [climbs down] [Leon turns away and screams; in that moment the big weapon is fired the explosion knocks him down to the floor] ["The Fight (part 4: One Is Alive)"] Stansfield: [to the walkie-talkie] Hey heyeyey what the fuck is going on up there? I just said take the guy out not the whole fucking building. [Swats with gas masks storm the apartment; find wounded Leon disguised as one of them; pick him up lead him down the stairs past hundreds of Swats; sits down] Swat: You're okay? [Leon nods] Hey I need a medic over here! Angry Swat: [to the walkie-talkie] Open your fucking asses! Squad number one what's the status on the apartment? Another Swat: [from Listening Swat's walkie-talkie] Can't see shit too much smoke in here give us five minutes to clear it up. Listening Swat: Okay you got it. Stansfield: What what what you're 200 men and you can't find one man and a girl?! Did you find the girl?! [Mathilda arrives at the end of the air shaft] Medic: Hi how're you doing? Take the mask up quick. [Leon takes it up] Let me see you. That's deep. Right. This one here. Angry Swat: You're from the third precinct? Leon: Yeah. [is discovered by Stansfield] [Mathilda runs through a narrow passage] Medic: You sit here for two minutes I'll be right back. Leon: Let me put the mask back on I breathe better with it. Medic: Okay you're right. Sit here. Stansfield: [in a hallway leading outside to the policemen] Okay come on everyone out! Come on let's go let's go let's go! Come on out! [Mathilda comes out on the street] ["Two Ways Out"] [Leon goes away] [Mathilda walks past the policemen] Policeman: What're you doing here? Get out get out! [Leon hesitates in front of a group of policemen blocking the way] [Mathilda walks on] [Leon walks down the stairs reaches the empty hallway takes off his mask his eyes fixed on the exit; Stansfield appears behind him; aims; shoots] [Mathilda escaped now runs to Tony's] Leon: [lying on the floor beneath Stansfield dying] ..Stansfield? Stansfield: At your service. Leon: [puts something in his hand] ..This is.. from... Mathilda. [dies] Stansfield: [opens his hand finds a grenade pin; discovers Leon's equipment] Shit. [big explosion] [at Tony's; Mathilda with a glass of milk still crying] Tony: [with bruises in his face] Leon asked my to help you out if.. if something happened. And I think something happened right? He put on the side a little cash for you. So what I'm suggesting is that ah seeing as how you are still so young I should hold the money for you you know 'till you're older. Like a bank you know except that it's better than a bank because you know banks get always knocked off. No one knocks off old Tony. But it's.. it's your money and in the meantime all you gotta do is come here every once in a while and I'll dish it out so that you can have a little fun okay? [puts some money on the table] Here's a hundred bugs to start with. Mathilda: Can't take any job instead? Tony: A job? What the hell can you do? Mathilda: I can clean. Tony: I ain't got no work for twelve year old kids so get it outta your goddamned head! It's over the game's over Leon's dead! You hear me! [which makes Mathilda cry again] ["The Game Is Over"] Tony: Come on. Come on do you think I ain't hurting too? [Mathilda turns her eyes back to him] But he's dead. And you gotta forget all this craziness and get your little ass back to school capiche? Now take this money and get the hell outta here and don't let me see your face 'till next month for something tells me I'm about to lose my famous kind streak. [night; sadly walks through the streets; looks out of the Roosevelt Island Tram] [in the office of Spencer School] Mathilda: My parents.. died.. in a car accident four weeks ago. It was terrible. Headmistress: You know we didn't have the time to get to know one another when you first came here but.. I want you to know that I am not kind of woman that let down a child whatever her situation whatever her mistake. So I'm going to help you and do my best to welcome you here again. But on one condition. You have to stop lying to me Mathilda. I want you to take a chance and trust me. Now tell me what happened to you? Mathilda: Okay. My family got shot down by DEA officers because of a drug problem. I left with the greatest guy on earth. He was a hitman the best in town. But he died this morning and if you don't help me I'll be dead by tonight. [as she comes out of the school she walks past a group of girls sitting on the stairs] Girl: [to her friends] You know her? Other Girls: No never seen her. [Mathilda finds a nice place for Leon's plant; digs a hole puts it into it] Mathilda: I think we'll be okay here Leon. ["Shape Of My Heart" by Sting]
