— Do you clean anyone?
— No women, no kids. That's the rules.
— Nothing's the same after you've killed someone. 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. I want love...or death. That's it.
— Love or death. Get off my case. I'm tired of your games.
Death is...whimsical today.
— 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.
— Check it. Make sure it's the right thing.
— I trust you.
— One thing's got nothing to do with the other. Remember that, 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.
— 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...
— 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.
— 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.
Hey, don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually much nicer than people.
— 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.
Change ain't good, Leon. You know?
— 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.
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.
— Sleep well?
— I never really sleep. Got one eye open always.
— You know, I never saw someone with one eye open snore so much.
