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

LEON:

What?

MATHILDA:

There, the guy... How did you do that, without even touching him? Without noise.

It's like you put him away... How did you do it?

LEON(pause - proud) Did you like it?

She pauses and seriously looks at him.

MATHILDA:

It was brilliant.

Leon and Mathilda at cinema. On the screen, Fred Astair breaks out as usual.

LEON(talking about Fred Astaire) Look at his movements... Whatever he says, whatever he does, he never stops.

Sad or happy, the movement always goes on.

Pirouette by Fred Astaire.

LEON:

...Look! Even the wall, nothing stops him. The movement goes on. He uses

everything:

soil, wall, his rush, his weight. Life is movement, death is a part of it.

Mathilda listens carefully.

LEON:

So, you have to let the client finish the movement he started. It's better, he thinks about other things and he can't see death's arrival. He's got no time to suffer. He isn't surprised. He's got no time even to think. He departs without realizing. He departs in the movement he started.

Mathilda looks at the screen, sparkling eyes.

MATHILDA:

...It's brilliant.

MUSIC:

Series of short sequences.

Morning in the apartment Television turned on. Mathilda and Leon have some abdominals.

After some bendings, Mathilda collapses and remains on the floor. Leon goes on, undisturbed. Mathilda tries again.

Weapons assemblage Leon disassembled a big weapon in front of him. Mathilda observes, very concerted. Leon reassembles it in record time.

She's stunned. He hands her the weapon. Mathilda doesn't know where to start from.

Mathilda's room In the little room, Mathilda started a collection of target cardboards. The first targets have just two or three off- center hits.

Living room Leon's making abdominal flexes, feet always blocked under a wardrobe. Mathilda is making gym in front of television. Leon glances at her now and then.

Kitchen Leon pours a big glass of milk. Mathilda sits in front of him. She's tired. He hands her the glass. She shakes her head no, but he clearly shows she can't discuss. She takes the glass without pleasure.
