While Leon is at work, Mathilda comes back to the crime scene, an dtake the money that was hidden under the floor. When Leon is back, she shows him the money and engages to kill Stansfield, the man who killed her brother.
MATHILDA : Here it's for a contract,$20,000 right. His name is Norman Stansfield and he's in room 4602 in the DEA building, 26 Federal Plaza.
LEON : I'm not taking it.
MATHILDA : Why not?
LEON : Too heavy.
MATHILDA : Will you rent me your gear for the day?
LEON : I never lend out my gear.Leon pushes a gun on the table But you still have your gun, use it. Just do me a favour, Don't shoot out of the window OK ?
MATHILDA : Why are you so mean to me? Your out there killing people you don't give a shit about, but you wont get the bastards who killed my whole family.
LEON : Revenge is not good Mathilda, believe it is better to forget.
MATHILDA : To forget, after I've seen the outline of my brother's body on the floor, you expect me to forget, I want to kill those son of a bitches. I'm going to blow their fucking heads off.
LEON : Nothings the same after you've killed someone. Your life is changed forever. Why have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life?
MATHILDA : I don't give a shit about sleeping Leon. I want love or death, that's it.
LEON : Not about death. Get off my case Mathilda. I'm tired of your games.
MATHILDA : There is this really great game Leon. It makes people nicer, starts them thinking. The kind of game you love. She takes four bullets and begins to load the gun.
MATHILDA : If I win, you keep me with you for life.
LEON : And if you lose?
MATHILDA : You go shopping alone, like before.She closes the chamber, and put the gun against her temple.
LEON : You're going to lose Mathilda. There is a round in the chamber, I heard it.
MATHILDA : So what's it to you if I end up with a bullet in my head?
LEON : Nothing .
MATHILDA : I hope your not lying Leon, I really hope that deep down inside there is no love in you. Because if there is, just a little bit of love in you. I think that in a few minutes you'll regret you never said anything. I love you Leon.
Leon grabs Mathilda's wrist. She shoots and the bullet lodges itself in the wall.
MATHILDA : weeping I win.
