Mathilda : I don't wanna lose you, Leon.
Léon : You're not going to lose me. You've given me a taste for life. I wanna be happy. Sleep in a bed, have roots. And you'll never be alone again, Mathilda. Please, go now, baby, go. Calm down, I'll meet you at Tony's in an hour, I love you, now go, go now.

Mathilda : Leon, I think I'm kinda falling in love with you.
[Leon chokes on his milk]
Mathilda : It's the first time for me, you know?
Léon : [wiping himself off] How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before?
Mathilda : 'Cause I feel it.
Léon : Where?
Mathilda : [stoking her stomach] In my stomach. It's all warm. I always had a knot there and now... it's gone.
Léon : Mathilda, I'm glad you don't have a stomach ache any more. I don't think it means anything.

Léon : [referring to his plant] It's my best friend. Always happy. No questions.

Léon : Stansfield?
Stansfield : At your service.
Léon : [handing him something] This is from... Mathilda.
Stansfield : [sees that it's a pin for a grenade] Shit.

Léon : 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. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.

Mathilda : [Mathilda, crying about her brother's murder and her stepmother] I was more of a mother to him than that goddamn pig ever was!
Léon : Hey, don't talk like that about pigs. They're usually much nicer than people.
Mathilda : But they smell like shit.
Léon : Not true. As a matter of fact, right now I have one in my kitchen that's very clean and smells very nice.
Mathilda : You don't have a pig in your kitchen.
Léon : Yes, I do.
Mathilda : I was just in there and I didn't see any goddamned pig.
Léon : Don't move. I'll get him.
[Léon goes into the kitchen]
Léon : Piggy? Piggy? Where are you?
Léon : [oinking noises are heard in the kitchen] Oink, oink! Ah, there you are.
Léon : [more oinking, then a cartoon pig pot holder sticks its 'head' around the corner] Hi, Mathilda.
Mathilda : [she smiles] Hi, piggy.

Léon : use it.
Tony : [Figuring him out] You met a woman.

Mathilda : Do you "clean" anyone?
Léon : No women, no kids, that's the rules.
Mathilda : How much would it cost to hire someone to get those dirtbags who killed my brother?
Léon : Five grand a head.
Mathilda : Wow. How about this: I work for you; in exchange, you teach me how to clean. Hmmm? What do you think? I'll clean your place, I'll do the shopping, I'll even wash your clothes. Is it a deal?
-
Léon : There was someone a long time ago. Before I came to the States. Her father didn't want her to see me. She was from a very respectable family. Mine was, you know, not so respectable. Her dad went nuts every time she'd take off to see me.
Mathilda : But she still snuck off to see you, right?
Léon : Right.
Mathilda : You see, nothing can stop love, Léon.
-
Léon : He killed her. One shot to the head. They kept him in jail for two days. They let him go free. They said it was an accident. So, one night I waited for him. 500 feet with a lens. He also had an accident.
-
Léon : When it's tough like this, you know it's gonna be ugly. Better make it quick, or else you will be here all day listening to his crap.
-
Mathilda : I've decided what to do with my life. I wanna be a cleaner.
Léon : You wanna be a cleaner?
[passes her a gun and bullets]
Léon : Here, take it. It's a goodbye gift. Go clean. But not with me. I work alone, understand? Alone.
Mathilda : Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone. Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best.

Léon : Why did you hide the cigarette?
Mathilda : This building's full of rats. I didn't want my old man to find out. Got enough problems.

[Léon goes on his way]
Mathilda : Hey!
[he stops, looks back]
Mathilda : Don't tell my Dad about the cigarette... okay?
