这个杀手不太冷Léon: The Professional Movie Script

TONY:

It's a little out of the world coming to visit me this way, on mid afternoon. It really isn't the usual procedure...

RINALDI:

I know... But I'm a little pressed.

Tony is perplexed.

TONY:

...Who sent you?

RINALDI:

Giancarlo... Rinaldi.

Tony smiles.

TONY:

Is he still alive?

RINALDI:

Yeah... And still in Messina. He's my uncle.

TONY:

Huh? Are you Alfredo's son, then?

RINALDI:

No... Dino's.

The kid didn't fall in the trap.

TONY (smiling) ...It's true... How is he, the old Dino?

RINALDI:

He's dead, five years ago... TONY (saddened) Sorry... You see what's this job, you work, you work. You even don't care visiting friends now and then... He takes a blackboard and writes 16000 ahead. He gives it to Rinaldi. Rinaldi reads, then writes "Is it double". Tony smiles.

TONY:

Have you ever been in Messina, son?

RINALDI:

Yes... Twice.

TONY:

Did you fish in Messina? The "pesce spada"?

RINALDI:

No...

TONY:

It's a specialty down there. It's a fishing boat with, in front, a long pole near the surface. Then, near the cabin, a very tall mast with a little cabin for the lookout.

TONY:

A lookout above, one below, two fishers and a captain. A lot of people, for such a small boat like that. They depart to the sea, sometimes for days, never sure they'll get something.

Rinaldi listens. Tony speaks and writes at the same time.

TONY (con't) Sometimes, it's a lot of work for nothing. ...And then you must know that, the bigger the fish is, the older it is, the more expert it is... ...Therefore, the more difficult he is to get. You understand what I mean, son?

Rinaldi nods his head yes. Tony writes 12000 on the blackboard.

RINALDI:

I think I will get back in Messina this summer... It's too long I haven't been there.

TONY:

You're right, son. You must care the links with your family, always. It's the only important thing in the world.

RINALDI:

...Yeah.
