Page "Léon: The Professional" Paragraph 3

Mathilda quickly discovers that Léon is a " cleaner ", or hit man.

She begs him to take care of her and to teach her his skills as a cleaner.

She wants to avenge the murder of her four-year-old brother, telling Léon that he was the only one of her family she loved.

Léon shows her how to use guns, including a scoped rifle.

In return, she runs his errands, cleans his apartment, and teaches him how to read.

Several times Mathilda tells Léon " I love you ", but he offers no response.
