L?on: No discussion.
|
Swat Chief: [speaking to Stansfield through radio] Alpha team, man down, man down.
Stansfield: I told you.
|
Stansfield: [catching Mathilda in the bathroom with food bags] Ahh. Food. Let me guess... Is it Chineese? Thai, maybe? Ahh, I've got it. Italian food
[pops a pill and pulls out a gun]
Stansfield: Now, I want you to tell me everything you know about Italian food, including the name of the chef who prepared it.
Mathilda: Nobody sent me. I work for myself.
Stansfield: Ahh... so this is... personal?... What filthy peice of... shit... did I do now?
Mathilda: You killed my brother.
|
Swat Chief: Now, get this fucking asshole out of there.
|
L?on: And stop saying "okay" all the time. Okay?
Mathilda: Okay.
L?on: Good.
|
Tony: Check it. Make sure it's the right thing.
L?on: I trust you.
Tony: One thing has nothin' to do with the other - remember that L?on.
L?on: I will.
|
1st Stansfield man: He was a pro, he was fast, he fucking came out of nowhere.
[Boom]
1st Stansfield man: shoots the chinamen dead in two seconds
Malky: Easy man I am a cop
1st Stansfield man: Then turns around and says something to Malky like
L?on: No women, no kids.
[boom]
|
Malky: It's cops outside, we better go.
Norman Stansfield: [repeating] It's the cops outside... we better go.
|
Mathilda: I've decided what to do with my life. I wanna be a cleaner.
L?on: You wanna be a cleaner?
[passes her a gun and bullets]
L?on: Here, 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.
|
Mathilda: How are we getting out of here now?
L?on: Leave it to me. We're checking out.
|
L?on: You still have your gun, so use it. Just do me a favor, don't shoot it out the window.
|
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 and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?
Malky: I couldn't really say.
|
Orphanage Headmistress: Now tell me what happened to you.
Mathilda: OK. My family they got shot down by D.E.A. 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.
|
Mathilda: Leon, what exactly do you do for a living?
L?on: [Leon] Cleaner.
Mathilda: You mean you're a hit man?
L?on: [reluctantly] Yeah.
Mathilda: Cool.
|
Mathilda: How old were you when you made your first hit?
L?on: Nineteen.
Mathilda: Beat you!
|
L?on: [referring to his plant] It's my best friend. Always happy. No questions.
|
Mathilda: I don't wanna lose you, Leon.
L?on: You're not going to lose me. You've given me a taste for life. I wanna be happy. Sleep in a bed, have roots. And you'll never be alone again, Mathilda. Please, go now, baby, go. Calm down, go now, go.
|
L?on: Tony... All the money I make, that you keep for me...
Tony: You need some money?
L?on: No, just curious... Because, I've been working a long time... And I havent done anything with my... I thought maybe someday I could
[uncomfortable]
L?on: use it.
Tony: [Figuring him out] You met a woman.
|
Stansfield: [after the building explodes] Hey, what the fuck is going on up there? I said take the guy out, not the whole fucking building!
|
Swat Chief: Turn the fucking water off!
|
L?on: I took a hit. I need a hand now. I know she's young, but she learns fast. Kids need to be shaped into something right?
Tony: Yeah, I know. I taught you that. But ain't there an age limit?
L?on: She's 18.
Tony: Oh, really?
|
Pauly: C'mon, asshole! C'mon faggot. C'mon, gun trick.
L?on: Hey, what about the ring trick, you've heard that one?
Pauly: Ring trick? C'mon, asshole. I'm waiting. Show it to me, motherfucker!
|
Mathilda: I don't give a shit about sleeping, Leon. I want love, or death. That's it.
|
Norman Stansfield: Bring me everyone.
Benny: What do you mean "everyone"?
Norman Stansfield: EVERYONE.
|
Malky: Hey Stan, Stan! What are doing? He's dead!
Stansfield: But he ruined my suit.
|
Old Lady: [investigating the noise] What's happening out there?
Malky: All right, ma'am, go away, DEA. Police.
Old Lady: Why don't you leave that poor family alone?
Malky: [to Stansfield] It's all right, everything's al right. Just calm down.
Stansfield: I am calm.
[loads his gun, looks at old lady]
Stansfield: I'm calm.
Old Lady: Why don't you leave them alone?
Stansfield: [shoots the window next to her] He said, "Go back inside".
|
Mathilda: Do you "clean" anyone?
L?on: 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?
L?on: Five grand a head.
Mathilda: Wow. How about this: I work for you; in exchange, you teach me how to clean. Hmmm? What do you think? I'll clean your place, I'll do the shopping, I'll even wash your clothes. Is it a deal?
|
Mathilda: Can we try with real bullets now?
|
Stansfield: Tony, you've killed for us in the past, and we've always been satisfied, which is why it's very hard for me to come down here today. One of my men was killed today in your territory, and the chinks tell me the killer was of the... Italian persuasion. Now, wait, there's more. You'll love this. Not two hours later, a little twelve-year-old girl comes to my building, armed to the teeth with the sole intention of sending me straight to the morgue. And guess who comes to get her? The very same Italian hit man.
|
Mathilda: Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid?
L?on: Always like this.
|
Fatman: Somebody's coming up. Somebody serious.
|
Stansfield: I haven't got time for this Mickey Mouse bullshit.
|
[to receptionist after being asked about her father (Leon)]
Mathilda: He's not my father. He's my lover.
|
L?on: Revenge is not good. Once you're done. Believe me.
|
Stansfield: What filthy piece of shit did I do now?
|
[He is having sex with his wife in the restroom. And Mathilda open the door]
Mathilda's Father: Shut the goddamn door!
|
L?on: Stansfield?
Stansfield: At your service.
L?on: [handing him something] This is from... Mathilda.
Stansfield: [sees that it's a pin for a grenade] Shit.
|
Mathilda: You killed my brother.
Stansfield: I'm sorry. And you want to join him?
Mathilda: No.
Stansfield: It's always the same thing. 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: That's good, because I take no pleasure in taking life if it's from a person who doesn't care about it.
|
Mathilda: I am writing here the name of a girl in the class who makes me sick. If things get hot, she'll take the heat.
|
Stansfield: 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!
[laughs and sighs]
Stansfield: Toss the apartment.
|
Stansfield: I told ya.
|
L?on: Ey. What about the ring trick. You know that one?
|
1st Stansfield man: [finds pizza among Matilda's guns] Lunch.
2nd Stansfield man: Careful Blood. Might be poisoned.
1st Stansfield man: No, no anchovies on this.
|
Stansfield: You're a Mozart fan. I love him too. I looooove Mozart! He was Austrian you know? But for this kind of work,
[imitates playing the piano]
Stansfield: he's a little bit light. So I tend to go for the heavier guys. Check out Brahms. He's good too.
|
Stansfield: Death is... whimsical... today.
|
Mathilda: Leon, I think I'm kinda falling in love with you.
[Leon chokes on his milk]
Mathilda: It's the first time for me, you know?
L?on: [wiping himself off] How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before?
Mathilda: 'Cause I feel it.
L?on: Where?
Mathilda: [stoking her stomach] In my stomach. It's all warm. I always had a knot there and now... it's gone.
L?on: Mathilda, I'm glad you don't have a stomach ache any more. I don't think it means anything.
|
Cigarette Kid: Know her?
The Kids: No.
|
Swat Chief: [speaking to Stansfield through radio] Alpha team, final position, ready to go.
Stansfield: Be careful.
|
Mathilda: I am already grown up, I just get older.
|
L?on: 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.
|
Mathilda: There's no doorbell.
L?on: So knock on the door.
|
L?on: Revenge is not a good thing, it's better to forget.
Mathilda: Forget? After I've seen the outline of my brother's body on the floor, you expect me to forget? I wanna kill those sons of bitches, and I'll their fucking heads off!
|
Mathilda: [after planting Leon's plant in the school grounds] I think we'll be ok here, Leon.
