Léon

— You love your plant, don't you?
— It's my best friend. Always happy. No questions. And it's like me, you see? No roots.
— If you really love it, you should plant it in the park so it can have roots.
— You're right.

Revenge is not good once you're done.

— Sleep well?
— I never really sleep. Got one eye open always.
— You know, I never saw someone with one eye open snore so much.

It's when you start to become really afraid of death, that you learn to appreciate life.

— Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid?
— Always like this.

Hey, don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually much nicer than people.

— You need some time to grow up a little.
— I finished growing up, Leon. I just get older.

— Leon, I think I'm kind of falling in love with you.
— ...
— It's the first time for me, you know?
— How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before?
— Cos I feel it...
— Where?
— In my stomach. It's all warm. I always had a knot there, and now...it's gone.
— Mathilda, I'm glad you don't have a stomach ache anymore. I don't think that means anything...

If you don't help me, I'll die tonight. I can feel it. But I don't want to die tonight.

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.

— It's a really great game, Leon. It makes people nicer and starts them thinking. The kind of game you love. If I win, you keep me with you. For life.
— And if you lose?
— You'll go shopping alone. Like before.

— Nothing's the same after you've killed someone, Matilda. Your life is changed forever. You'll have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life.
— I don't give a shit about sleeping, Leon.

— You're gonna lose, Mathilda. There's a round in the chamber, I heard it.
— So what? What's it to you if I end up with a bullet in the head, huh?
— Nothing.
— I hope you're not lying, Leon. I really hope that down deep inside there's no love in you. Cos if there is just a little bit of love in you for me, I think that in a few minutes you're gonna regret you never said anything. I love you, Leon.

— Aim for the heart and lungs. There. Right there. You see? The first shot takes him out of order. The second finishes him off.
— What the fuck... What are you fucking doing?
— Never in the face. If they can't recognize the client, you don't get paid.

— Is that what you call «I won't be long»? I've been hanging around here for at least 10 minutes.
— I did my best.

How about this? I work for you, and in exchange you teach me how to clean. What do you think? I'll clean your place, I'll do the shopping. I'll even wash your clothes. Is it a deal?
