Notes:
The beginning is identical to the movie, so we considered
useless reporting it here. It's from Mathilda's first rifle
training scene that the original script is totally different
from the movie. This version is much more violent and the
affective relation between Leon and Mathilda shows no more
ambiguities. In this version, Mathilda was to be aged 13 or
14
* * * * * * * * * *
Leon and Mathilda arrive on the roof of a building which
faces Central Park. They get close to a wall and maintain this
position. Sunlight floods the park.
LEON(concentrated)
Firstly, you look. For more than one
minute. Because there are alarm systems
with one minute period. Therefore, you
wait and look. Alarms firstly, the sky
for helicopters, nearby buildings.
Meanwhile, you observe soil's color and
will try to wear dresses of the same
color. Never lighter.
Mathilda listens very carefully.
LEON:
OK. Good. Now you can assemble your
weapon.
He opens the violin case and assembles a rifle with
telescopic sight and silencer.
LEON:
The rifle is the first weapon you learn
to use, because you can keep far from the
client. The more experience you have, the
closer you get.
He finished assembling the weapon and hands it to Mathilda.
She's going to pull off telescope's cover.
LEON:
No. Always take it off at the last
moment, because of light reflexes.
They'll see you in two seconds.
They get close to roof's edge. Mathilda sits down and gets in
position.
LEON:
Relax. You must feel at ease.
Mathilda leans down properly.
MATHILDA:
OK, I'm fine.
LEON:
Good.
He removes telescope's cover.
LEON:
Here, this is the light scoop for night
shooting. There, you fix client's
distance... How much to the bench down
there in the park?
MATHILDA:
Huh... 500 meters?
LEON:
130... 140...
MATHILDA:
How can you say it?
LEON:
Look. When you can see his fingers, it's
50 meters. When you just see his hands,
it's about 80 meters. When you
distinguish arms from body, it's 120-130.
When you see nothing more than a shape,
you don't shoot. Not very sure. You have
one chance out of five to miss. A
contract means getting all chances on
your side. 5 out of 5. You can't miss a
client. Never... If the task is delicate
or the risk is too big, you double. That
is, you insure yourself by another means.
MATHILDA:
What, for example?
LEON:
Well, if the guy is far, in a car, and I
know weather is going to be bad, rain for
example, I think I would plastic the car,
with a remote here. I shoot from the
distance and if I miss I plastic.
MATHILDA:
What if you can't approach the car or he
changes car?
Leon thinks.
LEON:
Rocket launcher.
MATHILDA:
Oh really?
(She looks at the
road and imagines)
But can you miss the car?
