Nikita quotes from La Femme Nikita

Nikita

Oh you should have had backup, you had no way of knowing if I was going to be all right. What if this had been a Bright Star sub-station? Hmmm? You wouldn't have made it out of here.

Michael

If you weren't alive, it wouldn't have mattered.

Michael

Yes. If you're in trouble, Nikita...

Nikita

The only trouble I seem to be having at the moment is that you're too far away from me, to defying the odds. So you read my med report?

Michael

Yes.

Nikita

And there's something you didn't like?

Michael

You shot yourself, Nikita.

Nikita

Yes, I did.

Michael

Why?

Nikita

It seemed like a very bad idea to assassinate the one man who could get me out of Section forever. I'm sorry, Michael, but I had my chance and I had to take it.

Madeline

Where's Michael? Using Michael's corneal access is grounds for cancellation.

Nikita

Madeline, your threats are of no interest to me anymore, not that they ever have been.

Madeline

You don't think you'll get away with this. I'm sorry for you, Nikita.

Nikita

Is that an emotion? My god!

Madeline

It's taken a long time for us to come to this point, hasn't it?

Nikita

Far too long if you ask me.

Madeline

Nikita's condition eight. Shoot to kill.

... but have you stopped to think that maybe you don't want us to find Nikita?

Michael

For what reason?

Because you're in love with her.

Michael

I never loved Nikita.

I thought that was common knowledge.

Michael

Yes, it's what we wanted them to believe.

We?

Michael

Operations, Madeline. Me.

I've been through the databases a hundred times over, Michael. The time you spent with Nikita...

Michael

I was assigned to train her, motivate her adjustment.

Give her something to hang onto, to believe in.

Michael

Yes.

And your feelings for her? I have to give you credit, Michael, I'm beginning to understand why they value you so much around here. I'll have to figure this in. I'll let you know when I have a new profile.

Michael

Don't move.

Michael...

Michael

Hide in plain sight. Section is the last place we'd think to look.

Michael, I'll report this. You'll have to account for your behavior!

Michael

And you will have to account for your reaction when I told you I had no feelings for Nikita.

Like I said, Nikita is very emotional. Seems to be what trips her up most of the time.

Michael

Why?

I couldn't leave without you, Michael. I came back to convince you to come with me. You've seen me do it. I can show you how.

Michael

No one really leaves Section.

I agree. This place will always be in my head. But we can help each other forget.

Michael

Sooner or later they would have found you.

Not without the implant. Not after sinking my files. Not if I didn't want them to.

I didn't have a choice. Red Cell offered us a way out. We'd be free!

Nikita

It's amazing, isn't it? Kraft was a genius at long-term prosthetics. We can use the techniques to disappear if we have to.

Michael

I don't want you to change again.

Nikita

Michael ...

Nikita

... What are you waiting for?

Michael

We're surrounded.

Nikita

Removing collateral.

Michael

Yes.

Nikita

Should we use the car?

Michael

We won't get ten feet.

Nikita

I've got three grenades, we can carve a path, the highway is less than a kilometer.

Michael

No... there will be another day.

Michael

Nikita, it has to be this way.

Nikita

No, let them kill us both.

Michael

They won't do that, they need one of us.

Nikita

Then we should both live.

Michael

You know they won't let that happen.

Nikita

Why not? If they cancel you, I won't want to live, I'll step in front of the first bullet shot at me.

Michael

No, you won't. I'll need you after I'm gone.

Nikita

What does that mean?

Michael

Adam... You're the only one I can trust.

Nikita

That's something you should do yourself.

Michael

After I'm cancelled, they'll induce so you're not suicidal, after some time passes, you'll be brought back. It won't be as painful as you think.

Nikita

You can live without me a lot better than I can live without you.

Michael

No.

Nikita

... You have shown an otherworldly disregard for your own well-being, more than anyone else, you've been true to the highest principles that define this organization.

Michael

That's not true, I betrayed Section, I've put your well-being ahead of everything else.

Nikita

I have no choice but to recommend your cancellation.

Michael

Is there an abeyance mission pending?

Nikita

Yes.

Michael

Thank you.

Michael

... Why did you break protocol?

Nikita

I wasn't ready to see you die.

Michael

Are you out?

Nikita

No, I gotta go back, but you can make it, you'll be able to jam their frequency long enough to get out of the hemisphere, take it.

Michael

What about you?

Nikita

I'll be all right, I got a card to play; they owe me this.

Michael

Come with me.

Nikita

I can't.

Michael

Is this what you want?

Nikita

I don't love you. I never did.

Mr. Jones

At last we meet.

Nikita

And, you are... ?

Mr. Jones

Well, just call me the real Mr. Jones.

Nikita

I need more than a name.

Mr. Jones

Very well. I'm the big cheese, the man behind the curtain, King Tut whatever you want. Now, if we have both finished gawking, perhaps it's time we got down to some work.

Nikita

You wanna do this?

Michael

I do.

Nikita

I lied.

Michael

I know.
