STANSFIELD:
So, the guy was there, he'd hidden a
shotgun behind the tent, here. His woman
was armed too.
MAN:
Where were the kids during first shots?
STANSFIELD:
I don't know... that was very fast. I
didn't see him pulling out his weapon.
The man writes some notes. The second man observes the
cracked entry door.
SECOND MAN:
Did you follow the procedure? Who got
to the door?
STANSFIELD (getting nervous)
What are you looking for, guys? This guy
was sh*t, we found five kilos heroin in
the apartment, and you bother me?
MAN:
The fact you're a public officer doesn't
give you the right to do whatever you
want! The narcotic had been following
this guy for two years. They had a lot of
information about him. Your quick lonely
action upset them. It's normal they
asked for an inquiry.
STANSFIELD:
I give a sh*t about the narcotic
department! And if you'll go on
searching in this sh*t, you'll fall in
it. You can find me at my office... 2702.
MAN:
It's routine, why are you doing this to
us?
Stansfield didn't listen. He got out. Mathilda slides behind
him. She follows him downstairs.
* * * * * * * * * *
IN THE STREET:
Stansfield gets on a car and departs. Mathilda stops a cab
and gets on board.
MATHILDA:
May you follow that blue car, please?
The driver smiles.
DRIVER:
Do you also want music and skids at
every turn?
She hands him 100$.
MATHILDA:
No, I want you to drive smoothly, get
your 100$ and tell me what the last
question was.
The driver takes the bill and starts moving. He understood
everything.
Stansfield's car stops in front of a building. Mathilda gets
out of the cab and follows Stansfield. She gets stopped at
the first check-point in the large hall.
COP (amused)
Where are you going, little girl?
MATHILDA:
What's that man's name?
COP:
Why do you want to know?
MATHILDA:
He forgot his money... My mother's got
a pub, behind the corner, and he forgot
his money, about 100$.
COP:
Huh? I see, but this is the FBI, little
girl, and I can't let you in. But if you
leave me his money, I'll give him it
myself.
Mathilda thinks.
COP (smiling)
You don't trust me.
Mathilda shakes her head no. The cop laughs.
MATHILDA:
Give me his name, I will mail him.
COP:
OK. Mister Stansfield, Norman
STANSFIELD.
MATHILDA:
...Office 2702.
COP:
Yeah... How do you know it?
MATHILDA:
...I heard he said... That's all...
Thanks.
Mathilda gets away. The cop looks at her, smiling.
* * * * * * * * * *
Mathilda gets back in the hotel room. She sits on the couch,
in front of the switched off television. One has never seen,
nor heard her that concentrated, and determined. Her face
looks thirty-year-old. Noise from the lock; she switches
television on:
anime. Leon gets in, gets off his stuff. He'sgot a parcel. He puts it on the table. Leon is stunned by her
lack of interest for the parcel.
LEON:
...It's for you... It's a gift.
No reactions. No replies.
LEON:
Would you like me to open it?
(He's too excited.)
...I open it!
(He pulls out a
small dress, flowers
motif. He's very
happy.)
...Do you like it?
MATHILDA (harsh)
...You'd better directly buy the doll to
fit in it, that would be clearer! Leon
doesn't understand. He takes the dress
and checks it out for defects.
She sighs and gets in the kitchen. Leon gives up. He sweetly
lays the dress down on the table and switches television off.
Mathilda comes back with a lot of pop corn. She switches
television on again, sits on the couch and turns volume up.
Leon is perplexed, he doesn't speak. He gets in the bathroom
for a shower. Mathilda turns volume down. She stands up,
glances at the dress, touches it by fingertips. Her face is
tense. Water flows in the bathroom, but Leon is at door's
small opening and observes Mathilda. She eventually leaves the
dress, switches television off and gets to the window to look
at the sunset. Leon feels bad. He silently closes the door.
* * * * * * * * * *
Mathilda sits in front of him, like in an arena.
MATHILDA (cold)
I'm sick of this, Leon.
LEON:
...You can leave whenever you want. I
don't refrain you.
MATHILDA:
...This is what I don't like, you see:
you don't refrain me, but at the same
time I can't get out!
Leon is still cleaning his weapons.
LEON:
Do you think you learnt patience today?!
MATHILDA (getting nervous)
Well, I'm a poor pupil about patience?!
OK?
Leon slightly smiles.
LEON:
...You stayed home, not bad. A good
start.
She smiles at him and he returns.
MATHILDA:
I've been out all the time, stupid!
Leon's smile disappears.
MATHILDA:
I got home to get my stuff.
She pulls out some dollars and puts them on the desk.
MATHILDA:
Here. Not 8000. They're 6800. I hope you
will credit me for the missing 1200.
Furthermore, I'm going to make your work
easier:
the guy is Norman Stansfield.Office 2702 at FBI, 5th Avenue, 68th
Street.
Leon is pale. Open mouth.
LEON:
And... How do you know all this?
MATHILDA (as if it's evident)
The above Norman was in my home when I
was there, and I followed him, that's
all.
Leon tries to keep calm.
LEON:
Are you calmly telling me you spent the
day at FBI?
She shrugs her shoulders.
MATHILDA:
No! I can't come in! I remained
outside! And why do you mind this?
You've got client's name, money's on the
table:
it's a good contract, isn't it?
