Leon Page #2

Synopsis: Mathilda (Natalie Portman) is only 12 years old, but is already familiar with the dark side of life: her abusive father stores drugs for corrupt police officers, and her mother neglects her. Léon (Jean Reno), who lives down the hall, tends to his houseplants and works as a hired hitman for mobster Tony (Danny Aiello). When her family is murdered by crooked DEA agent Stansfield (Gary Oldman), Mathilda joins forces with a reluctant Léon to learn his deadly trade and avenge her family's deaths.

MATHILDA:

Yeah, but I didn't get him, I got his

case and now he's behind the tree. What

can I do?

LEON:

It's not serious, it's just training.

You have to learn from the beginning to

hit the target, then, to improve

precision, you'll train, but on

cardboards.

MATHILDA:

OK.

LEON:

Now, try a running guy.

Mathilda gets back to telescope and looks for a jogger.

MATHILDA:

The yellow and pink.

LEON:

OK.

The guy is footing, sweaty, with a walkman and headphones.

Mathilda shoots once. Twice. Thrice. The bullets pass around

the jogger, who can't see or hear anything.

MATHILDA:

Sh*t! It's hard when he runs!

Leon hands her another charger.

LEON:

Don't lose him! Concentrate. There,

reload. OK, keep calm. Calm, breathe

deeply. Look at his movements. Imagine

you're running with him. Breathe... Hold

your breathe... His movements... Now...

She shots and the guy gets a bullet in a thigh. He's scared,

but doesn't know where to go.

MATHILDA:

Did you see? First shot! It's good,

isn't it? Did I learn well?

Mathilda proudly smiles.

LEON(serious and steady)

Put tools away.

Mathilda obeys, seriously.

Night over city. The two are on a small building's stairway.

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 the

code 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 you

mustn't get discovered. Screwdriver.

He disassembles lock's cover.
