Stansfield: I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven? Malky: I could...
Stansfield: [catching Mathilda in the bathroom with food bags] Special delivery huh... Let me guess... Chinese? Thai, maybe? Ahh, I've got it. Italian food [pops a pill and pulls out a gun] Stansfield: What's your name angel... [Mathilda answers] Sta...
Stansfield: You don't like Beethoven. You don't know what you're missing. Overtures like that get my... juices flowing. So powerful. But after his openings, to be honest, he does tend to get a little fucking boring. That's why I stopped! [laughs and ...
Léon: Revenge is not a good thing, it's better to forget. Mathilda: Forget? After I've seen the outline of my brother's body on the floor, you expect me to forget? I wanna kill those sons of bitches, and blow their fucking heads off!
Stansfield: Tony, you've killed for us in the past, and we've always been satisfied, which is why it's very hard for me to come down here today. One of my men was killed today in your territory, and the chinks tell me the killer was of the... Italian...

Léon: Sorry about your father. Mathilda: If somebody didn't do it one day or another, I probably would have done it myself.
Stansfield: I like these quiet little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven.

Mathilda: Can we try with real bullets now?
Mathilda: I am writing here the name of a girl in the class who makes me sick. If things get hot, she'll take the heat.
Orphanage Headmistress: Now tell me what happened to you. Mathilda: OK. My family they got shot down by D.E.A. officers because of a drug problem. I left with the greatest guy on earth. He was a hitman, the best in town, but he died this morning. And...
Stansfield: You're a Mozart fan. I love him too. I looooove Mozart! He was Austrian you know? But for this kind of work, [imitates playing the piano] Stansfield: he's a little bit light. So I tend to go for the heavier guys. Check out Brahms. He's go...
1st Stansfield man: He was a pro, he was fast, he fucking came out of nowhere. [Boom] 1st Stansfield man: shoots the chinamen dead in two seconds Malky: Easy man I am a cop 1st Stansfield man: Then turns around and says something to Malky like Léon:...
Mathilda: [opens rubbing alcohol over drug stash] Léon: What are you doing? Mathilda: You said no women, no kids. Who do you think this is gonna kill, junkies and monkeys?
