S1 E1Nikita
Look at yourself. Admire yourself. See your beauty. You can learn to shoot. You can learn to fight. But there's no weapon as powerful as your femininity. Madeline strokes Nikita's cheek and puts her hand on her shoulder. We're family now, Nikita.
It's been two years. That's our policy. We start making exceptions, we're no better than the CIA. Cancel her.
If she fails, you fail.
You knew?
We had to see if you could improvise. Did you get the PDA?
Why didn't you tell me this was a job, instead of pretending?
No matter what state of mind you're in, you have to be able to perform.
You're sick. You don't want a person, you want a machine. I can't do that.
You just did.
Section One is the most clandestine organization on the planet. It's our job to bring down the criminals and terrorists that no one else can get.
I can't do what you want me to do.
Mistakes are not an option.
I can't pull the trigger.
Why not?
Because I'm not who you think I am. I'm not a killer.
The moment I believe that, Nikita, you're cancelled.
S1 E2Friend
Nikita remains a puzzle, she continues to break Section code, and yet she manages to succeed.
What code did she break?
Please, Michael, you've been here long enough. Information is what we do here. If you don't think that I know every detail of every operation... Why didn't you find Julie the first time you went to Nikita's apartment?
I looked everywhere.
One would think you didn't want to find her.
That's not true.
Nikita's not a trainee anymore. She has to be held up to the same standards as everyone else. If you can't demand that of her, then you both become a liability. That'll be all.
S1 E3Simone
Who's Simone?
My wife.
Did Simone work for the Section? Michael, you can't tell me you had a wife and she was killed then just drop it, get back to business.
Listen, Nikita, you asked me what happened... and I told you.
You told me the facts. Michael, I want to know how you feel. Sometimes you have to let yourself trust someone. I'm right here.
Nikita.
I wanted to thank you.
I'm so sorry.
If it wasn't for the Section, no one of us would have a life. What right do I have to feel cheated?
You have a right to feel anyway you want. Do you want to have a cup of coffee?
I'd love to.
Good.
S1 E4Charity
You don't have to like the job. You just have to do it. I'll be at the party tomorrow night. His perimeter security is very tight. We'll have to work from the inside. You'll be briefed in the morning. And, ah, get rid of the cat. It's a distraction. When you walked in, it was the first thing you noticed. If I were an enemy, you'd be dead by now.
Sometimes I think you are the enemy.
I came to apologize.
You know you're becoming very predictable, Michael. You lie, then you say you're sorry. You lie, then you say you're sorry. Can you come up with anything a little more interesting?
Why shouldn't I... just kill you, hmmm? Why shouldn't I just pull the trigger?
I can't think of a single reason.
S1 E5Mother
Do you think there's anything I won't do to get this information from you?
