L?on: Tony, all the money I make that you keep for me --
Tony: You need some money?
L?on: Just curious. 'Cause I've been working for a long time and I haven't done anything with my money.
Tony: You met a woman.
L?on: No.
Tony: L?on... L?on, you gotta be careful with women. Remember when you first arrived in this country? When I took you in you were still wet behind the ****in' ears, and already you were in deep shit because of a woman. Don't forget that, L?on.
L?on: I wish I could sometimes. You know, about my money -- maybe I could give a little to someone, you know, to help out.
Tony: Hey, it's your money. I mean, I'm just holding it for you, like a bank. Except better than a bank, 'cause you know banks always get knocked off. No one knocks off old Tony.

L?on: Listen, Mathilda, you'd better be careful. You can't just speak to any guy off the street.
Mathilda: L?on, get a grip. What's the big ****ing deal? I was just smoking a butt while I was waiting.
L?on: I want you to stop cursing. You can't talk to people like that all the time! I want you to make an effort to talk nice.
Mathilda: Okay.
L?on: And I want you to stop smoking. It will kill you.
Mathilda: Okay. (she throws cigarette away.)

Mathilda: Okay.
L?on: I'll be out in five minutes. Stand where I can see you.

Mathilda: L?on, I think I'm kinda falling in love with you. It's the first time for me, you know?
L?on: How do you know it's love if you've never been in love before?
Mathilda: 'Cause I feel it.
L?on: Where?
Mathilda: In my stomach. It's all warm. I always used to have a knot there, and now it's gone.
L?on: Mathilda, I'm glad you... don't have a stomach ache anymore. I don't think it means anything.

(Mathilda has entered Stansfield's office building by faking a food delivery; Stansfield has cornered her in a restroom.)
Stansfield: Special delivery, huh? Let me guess. Chinese? Thai, maybe? I've got it -- Italian food. What's your name, angel?
Mathilda: Mathilda.
Stansfield: Mathilda, I want you to set the sack on the floor. Good. (He draws a pistol.) And now, I want you to tell me everything you know about Italian food... and don't forget the name of the chef who fixed it for me.
Mathilda: Nobody sent me. I do business for myself.
Stansfield: So, th-th-this, this is something personal, is it? What filthy piece of shit... did I do now?
Mathilda: You killed my brother.
Stansfield: I'm sorry. (he moves in close to Mathilda.) And -- you wanna join him?
Mathilda: No.
Stansfield: It's always the same thing. It's when you start to become really afraid of death that you learn to appreciate life. Do you like life, sweetheart?
Mathilda (whispering): Yes.
Stansfield: That's good -- because I take no pleasure in taking a life if it's from a person who doesn't care about it.

Willie-Blood: A nine millie... bullets... and another nine millie. What'd you plan to do with all these guns, huh?
DEA Agent: Maybe she was planning on taking out the whole building.
Willie-Blood: (opening pizza box) Holy shit, what do we got here? Lunch! (he starts eating a slice of pizza)
DEA Agent: Careful, Blood. Might be poisoned.
Willie-Blood: Nah, there's no anchovies on this.

Tony: In the meantime, all you gotta do is come here every once in a while and I'll dish it out so's you can have a little fun. Okay? Here's a hundred bucks to start with.
Mathilda: Can't I get a job instead?
Tony: A job? What the hell can you do?

(Mathilda is at the Spencer School for Girls.)
Mathilda: My parents... d-died in a car accident about four weeks ago. It was terrible.
Headmistress: You know, we didn't have the time to get to know one another when you first came here. But I want you to know that I'm not the kind of woman that would let down a child -- no matter what her situation, no matter what her mistake. So I'm going to help you and do my best to welcome you here again. But on one condition: you have to stop lying to me, Mathilda. I want you to take a chance, and trust me, and tell me what happened to you.
Mathilda: Okay. My family got shot down by D.E.A. officers because of a drug problem. I left with the greatest guy on earth. He was a hit man -- the best in town. But he died this morning... and if you don't help me, I'll be dead by tonight.
