Tony is a member of the Italian mob. He is Leon's handler and friend. He owns a restaurant where he conducts business, including meeting Leon to discuss jobs.Leon: Tony, all the money I make that you keep for me -- Tony: You need some money? Leon: Just curious. 'Cause I've been working for a long time and I haven't done anything with my money. Tony: You met a woman. Leon: No. Tony: L?on... L?on, you gotta be careful with women. Remember when you first arrived in this country? When I took you in you were still wet behind the fuckin' ears, and already you were in deep shit because of a woman. Don't forget that, L?on. Leon: I wish I could sometimes. You know, about my money -- maybe I could give a little to someone, you know, to help out. Tony: Hey, it's your money. I mean, I'm just holding it for you, like a bank. Except better than a bank, 'cause you know banks always get knocked off. No one knocks off old Tony.
