I’m not a monster.
You can't kill me.
You know, I’m not a bad guy.
This is a gift.
I love you, Léon.
I take care of my plants.
It's not what you think.
Mathilda, you know what I do for a living?
Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid?
This is the life.
I want to be a cleaner.
I want to be a professional.
Mathilda, I’m not a monster.
This is a life for me.
You know what I do? I kill people.
You know what I want?
