Killers and police officers are two completely different groups of people. They should represent justice and evil, but any group of people will have different human nature. Killers are no longer cold-blooded, but police officers have become evil. In the play, Matilda is smart but prematurely mature. The killer hero shuttles through the hail of bullets with great pride, and has to cover up the tenderness in his heart. Lyon's forbearance and affection, touching people's hearts. The ending makes people have to remember that warm killer from the bottom of their hearts.

Léon: The Professional quotes

  • Mathilda: I've decided what to do with my life. I wanna be a cleaner.

    Léon: You wanna be a cleaner?

    [passes her a gun and bullets]

    Léon: Here, take it. It's a goodbye gift. Go clean. But not with me. I work alone, understand? Alone.

    Mathilda: Bonnie and Clyde didn't work alone. Thelma and Louise didn't work alone. And they were the best.

  • Léon: The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn.
