Léon: The Professional Page #7

INSIDE THE RESTAURANT

Leon sits in front of his milk. Tony comes back and sits

down.

TONY:

I have to put on my glasses... My sight

is worse and worse... I'm getting old...

Here it is.

Tony hands a photo to Leon, who observes it.

TONY:

Not easy. Armored car, isolated home,

bodyguards all time. I don't know what

he trades, but it's a good hit because

I've got three contracts on him... Three

times eight thousand for Leon. Good

deal, isn't it?

Outside, Mathilda has disappeared. Leon gets upset. Tony

takes the photo back.

TONY:

I write client's data on the back. You

have to be quick, he's going to quit the

city at the end of the week. With the

contracts on his head, I don't think

we'll see him again.

Leon is too nervous. He takes the photo and stands up.

LEON:

I come back later for details. I've got

something to do and... I'm late.

He gets out, looks left and right. You've never seen anyone

as nervous as him. Mathilda, crouched down behind the door,

jumps on his back. He's relieved and slightly smiles. She

hangs on him like a little monkey.

LEON:

Come on, get down!

MATHILDA:

You were scared, weren't you?

LEON:

I was nervous, that's all! Where is the

guy?

MATHILDA:

I killed him... and cut him and ate all

of him... I left nothing for you!

Leo suddenly realizes Tony is behind the window. He shyly

smiles, slightly embarrassed. Mathilda makes a big smile to

him and heels Leon.

MATHILDA:

Let's go home!!!

Leon arrives to the hotel, Mathilda still on his back. The

receptionist smiles at Leon, who doesn't return. Mathilda gets

the key with a big smile.

MATHILDA:

We'd a nice walk!

RECEPTIONIST (smiling)

Good, Miss.

Mathilda cackles and leads her mount upstairs. In the room,

she jumps on the bed.

MATHILDA:

Leon? I think I'm falling in love with

you.

Leon's milk goes the wrong way. She calmly said it, laying on

the bed, spread arms. Like a simple truth. Leon got milk

everywhere.

MATHILDA:

...Anyway, this impressed you!

He dries himself, but doesn't reply.

MATHILDA:

It's strange, being in love... It's the

first time for me...
