LEON:
Codes!
Mathilda gets by his side for her new lesson.
LEON:
For codes, there are two solutions. You
have to choose depending on your needs.
First case:
you have time. You need thecode for a later time. So, you wait for
night, you get a box with soot powder and
blow a little on the keyboard. He does
it and pulls out a screwdriver.
LEON:
Then you break the little lamp to be
sure the client can't see anything. You
wait for someone who gets inside, so you
have just to see which numbers he
touched. Once you know the four or five
digits, you have to try all combinations;
once per hour and not more than a minute
to do not get found.
LEON(continues)
Second case:
you have no time but youmustn't get discovered. Screwdriver.
He disassembles lock's cover.
LEON:
Here, wires need the code. Always four
wires.
An approximately 40-year-old man climbs the stairway. He
evidently lives in the building.
MAN:
May I...?
LEON:
Pardon.
(To Mathilda)
Let pass.
Leon opens the door by disassembled lock's wires. The man is
going to pass, but doesn't. Leon's going to resume his
explanation.
MAN:
Excuse me, but... What are you doing?
LEON:
I teach to the girl.
MAN:
Do you teach her how to break buildings'
doors, don't you? Don't you give a sh*t
about me? Get away before I call the
Police! The man is very nervous,
searches in a pocket, then pulls out an
anti-aggression bomblet. He'll have no
time to use it:
Leon pulled out hissilenced gun. A shot to the hand and the
bomblet takes off. Shot's energy makes
the man turn around. A second shot in the
back makes the man get over the parapet
and disappear in a decorative bush,
almost without noise. Mathilda is
immobilized. Leon looks around, then
resumes.
LEON:
So... the wire which starts from the
bottom of the metal part and then, you
try the other three wires, one by one.
At second wire, the door opens. Leon smiles.
LEON:
Simple, isn't it?
She nods yes.
LEON:
What's up? I don't feel you're
concentrated.
MATHILDA:
Yes, yes...
She gets close to the parapet and looks at the bush.
MATHILDA:
It's incredible! How did you do it?
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, hisweight. 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.
Weapons assemblage
Mathilda's much quicker now, but makes an error. Leon stops
her and takes over to explain her mistake. Mathilda
understands and restarts.
Mathilda's room
Cardboard collection expands. More and more impacts on
targets.
Living room
Mathilda was able to convince Leon to make his gym in front
of television and with music. She teaches him, since he's not
used to this and is quite embarrassed.
Kitchen
Mathilda pours two glasses of milk. She gives one to Leon: he
drinks then they have a race. Mathilda does everything to be
fast. Leon is too used: he wins. The two laugh because
Mathilda spread milk everywhere. Two kids.
Mathilda's room
Mathilda adds a cardboard to her collection. Five impacts,
all virtually on target.

TONY'S RESTAURANT
Leon sits in front of Tony. From his position, he can see the
window on the street.
TONY:
It's a long time, Leon. You missed two
nice contracts, you know.
LEON(badly lying)
...I was training.
He looks at the street: Mathilda is pirouetting in front of
the restaurant.
TONY:
...You moved too, didn't you?
LEON:
Yeah.
TONY:
Huh!? Because of the slaughter at your
same floor?
LEON:
...Not at all.
