Mathilda: You love your plant, don’t you?
Léon: It’s my best friend. Always happy. No questions. It’s like me, you see? No roots.
Mathilda: If you really love it, you should plant it in the middle of a park so it can have roots.
Léon: Yeah.
Mathilda: I’m the one you should be watering if you want me to grow.

Mathilda: Léon, I think I’m kinda falling in love with you. It’s the first time for me, you know?
Léon: How do you know it’s love if you’ve never been in love before?
Mathilda: ‘Cause I feel it.
Léon: Where?
Mathilda: In my stomach. It’s all warm. I always had a knot there, and now it’s gone.

Mathilda: I’m not going. I won’t go. I won’t go.
Léon: Listen to me. We have no chance together. But if I’m alone, I can do it. Trust me. I’m in good shape. I’ve got a lot of money with Tony. We’ll take it and leave together. Just the two of us. Okay? Go.
Mathilda: No. You’re saying that so I won’t worry. I don’t wanna lose you.
Léon: You’re not gonna lose me, Mathilda. You’ve given me a taste for life. I wanna be happy. Sleep in a bed. Have roots.
