Leon asks D to water his plant, D reveals that it died to save him. (Through some kind of magical tradeoff -- this is not a case of "he was carrying the plant around in his pocket and it took the bullet.")
TP: She bloomed for you, Officer Orcot. Her red flowers have fallen in your place...
SS: For you, they bloomed crimson. And for you, they died.
Same meaning, but I like the poetry of the TP version more.

15: Dark Horse Proofreading breakdown at the TP office this issue. Apostrophes got replaced with Õ in the font they use for funny little asides. As in, D says Leon has to come along because "HeÕs my chauffeur." D makes friends with Betty, the jockey/stuntwoman on a movie set. Asks her about her experience with horses: TP: My family breeds and raises thoroughbreds. Racing's in my blood. SS: My family runs a stable. We even have a racehorse. Basically the same meaning, but props to TP for using the expression "in my blood," it'll be thematically relevant soon.
