" I trustyou." "One thing's got nothin' to do with the other." "Remember that." "I will." "The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use... because it lets you keepyour distance from the client." "The closeryou get to being a pro... the closeryou can get to the client."

"They gotta be alive." "It's been a long time, Leon." "I missed you." " And you missed some nicejobs too." " Been training." "Training's good, but don't overdo it." "Training don't pay as good as working, Leon." "Tony... all the money I make, thatyou keep for me" "You need some money?" "Just curious." "I've been working a long time... and I haven't done anything with my money." "I thought maybe someday I could use it." "You met a woman." "You gotta be careful with women." "Rememberwhen you arrived in this country?" "When I tookyou in, you were still wet behind the fuckin' ears... and, already, you were in deep shit because ofa woman." " Don't forget that, Leon." " I wish I could sometimes." "You know, about my money" "Maybe I could give... a little... to someone." "You know, to help out." "It's your money." "I'm just holding it foryou, like a bank." "Except better than a bank because banks always get knocked off." "No one knocks offold Tony." "Besides, with a bank... there's always tons offorms and all that shit." "But old Tony, nothin' to read, nothin' to write." "It's all in his head." "I know how to read now." "That's good, Leon." "Your money's here." "Wheneveryou want it, youjust ask me." " Here's a grand." "Come on." " It's okay." "I don't need it." " Take it." "Have some fun." "Go ahead." " Thankyou." "All right." "Now let's talk business." "Don't move." "I'll go get the file." "Manolo, a glass ofmilk for my friend Leon here." "Listen, Mathilda, you better be careful." "You can'tjust speak to any guy offthe street." "Leon, get a grip." "What's the big fucking deal?" "I wasjust smoking a butt while I was waiting." "I wantyou to stop cursing." "You can't talk to people like that all the time." "I wantyou to make an effort to talk nice." "And I wantyou to stop smoking." "It will kill you." "Stay away from him." "He looks like a weirdo." "I'll be out in five minutes." "Stand where I can seeyou." "Leon, I think I'm kinda falling in love with you." "It's the first time for me, you know." "How doyou know it's love ifyou've never been in love before?" "'Cause 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 stomachache anymore." "I don't think it means anything." "I'm late forwork." "I hate being late forwork." "How's the practicing going?" " How are we today, miss?" " A little sick ofpracticing." "I understand." "Butyou're doing all right." "I haven't received any complaints." "I put a cloth over the strings to lessen the noise." "That's very smart." " Not everyone loves music." " I know." "What does your father do?" " He's a composer." " That's wonderful." "Except he's not really my father." "He's my lover." "Think I'll go for a walk." " What areyou doing Saturday night?" " What about dinner?" " Whereyou goin'?" " Visiting friends at 6J ." "Go ahead."

"Her father didn't want her to see me." "She was from a very respectable family." "Mine was... you know... not so respectable." "Her dad went nuts every time she'd take offto see me."

"You see, Mathilda..." "I wouldn't be a good lover." "Okay." "Would you do me one favor?" "What?" "I'm sick ofwatching you sleep on your chair." "We're gonna share the bed." "I don't think it's a good idea." "It's okay." "Putyour legs up on the bed." "Yeah." "That's nice." "Putyour head down." "It's okay." "Relax." "Good night, Leon." "Good night."

"That's exactlywhy today is going to be very hard for me." "I hopeyou'll excuse my mood." "My man was killed right here on your turf."

"Don't forget the code when you come back." "Two knocks, then one, and two knocks again." "Right?" "Right." "Ring these up." "I'm gonna go get some milk." "From here on out, you don't make a sound." "You answer my questions by nodding yes or shaking your head no." "Is he alone?" "Does he expectyou?" "Doyou have keys to the apartment?" "Is there a code, a way ofknocking, so he knows it's you?" "Alpha team." " Finalposition." "We're readytogo." " Be careful." "What up?" "Move!" "Fuck." "Shit." "Alpha team." "Man down." "I told you." " Bring me everyone." " What doyou mean, "everyone"?" "Everyone!" "Take this." "Go take a look." " Don't move." " Doyou see anything?" "It's the guy." "He's here." "He's got a gun to my head." "Nobody moves." " Let the girl go." " Take it easy, man!"

"But ifI'm alone, I can do it." "Trust me." "I'm in good shape." "I know I've got a lot ofmoneywith Tony." "We'll take it and leave together, just the two ofus." "Go." "You're saying that so I won't worry." " I don't wanna loseyou." " You're not gonna lose me." "You've given me a taste for life." "I wanna be happy, sleep in a bed, have roots." "You'll never be alone again." "Please, go now, baby." "Go." "Calm down." "Go now." "Go." "Seeyou at Tony's." "I'm gonna clean them all." "Tony's in an hour." "I loveyou, Mathilda." "I loveyou, too, Leon." "Hey, what is going on up there?" "Take the guy out, not the building." "We've got one breathing here!" "Get a medic on the horn!" "Clear the hall!" "Let him through!" " We've got a wounded man." "Make way!" " Down those stairs." "Let's go!" "Move!" "Get that guy offthe stairs!" " Getyour team back out there!" " I got him!" "We've got two men comin' down the stairs." "Let's hurry!" "You okay?" "Hey, I need a medic over here!" "Moveyour fuckin' asses." "Squad Number One, what's the status on the apartment?" "Can'tseeshit." "Toomuchsmoke." "Give us fiveminutes." "You got it." "What?" "Two hundred men can't find one man and a girl?" "Did you find the girl?" "How areyou doing?" "Takeyour mask off, quick." "Let me seeyou." "That's deep." "Right." "And this one here" "You're from the 3rd Precinct?" "Let's open up his sleeve a little bit." "All right, fine." "Put it down." "This one."

"Leon asked me to helpyou out... ifsomethin' happened, and I think somethin' happened." "He put aside a little cash foryou." "So what I'm suggesting is that... seein' as how you're still soyoung..." "I should hold the money foryou until you're older." "Like a bank, you know, except... it's better than a bank 'cause banks always get knocked off." "No one knocks offold Tony." "But it's your money." "In the meantime... all you gotta do is come here every once in awhile... and I'll dish it out soyou can have a little fun." "Here." " Here's a hundred bucks to start." " Can't I get ajob instead?" "Ajob?" "What the hell can you do?" "I can clean." "I ain't got no work for a 1 2-year-old kid... so get it out ofyour goddamn head!" "It's over!" "The game's over!" "Leon's dead!" "You hear me?" "Come on." "You think I ain't hurtin' too?" "But he's dead." "You're gonna forget all this craziness and getyour little ass back to school." "Now take this money and get the hell outta here." "Don't let me seeyour face till next month... 'cause something tells me I'm about to lose my famous kind streak." "My parents... died... in a car accident fourweeks ago." "It was terrible." "We didn't have the time to get to know one anotherwhen you first came here... but I wantyou to know I'm not the kind ofwoman who'd let down a child... whatever her situation, whatever her mistake." "So I'm going to helpyou and do my best to welcomeyou here again." "But on one condition:" "You have to stop lying to me, Mathilda." "I wantyou to take a chance... and trust me." "Tell me what happened toyou." "My family got shot down by D.E.A. officers... because ofa drug problem." "I left with the greatest guy on Earth." "He was a hit man, the best in town, but he died this morning." "Ifyou don't help me, I'll be dead by tonight." " You know her?" " I've never seen her." "I thinkwe'll be okay here."
