Nikita quotes from La Femme Nikita

Walter

Well, I'm really not interested in surviving anymore. What I am interested in is living. That's where the real difference is. Oh, hell, I've being hanging around this place for too long already.

Nikita

Walter, don't talk like that again.

Walter

It's like I always said, you are one of the good ones. Don't change.

Andrea

He can't do this, we can't let him get away with it.

Nikita

What does that mean?

Andrea

I mean we have to do something.

Nikita

Michael, she tried to kill you. What are you gonna do about it?

Michael

Nothing.

Nikita

Why not? Cause you feel guilty?

Madeline

It was wrong of me to put you in this position. Operations was right.

Nikita

He was your husband.

Madeline

Yes, he was.

Nikita

How could you kill him?

Madeline

There was no way to bring him back, his presence outside the Section for so many years would undermine our credibility, and letting him go wasn't an option. He understood that.

Adrian

Sit down, please.

Nikita

Why don't you just quit with the English gentility and tell me what you want from me?

Adrian

Together my dear, you and I are going to destroy Section One.

Nikita

Ok, Michael, now you lost me.

Michael

You're in over your head.

Nikita

Take your hands off me, please.

Michael

Now listen to me. If Adrian succeeds, every operative will be canceled. No exceptions. They will roll up Section like it never existed. And if you think Adrian can protect you, you're wrong. Where's Adrian?

Nikita

I don't know.

Michael

Where's the file?

Nikita

I don't know.

Michael

You're lying.

Nikita

I don't know.

Michael

Why... why? This is your last chance. Our last chance. Where's Adrian?

Nikita

I don't know.

Michael

Then you leave me no choice.

Michael

Go.

Nikita

What?

Michael

Outside you have a very small chance. Back at Section you have none. Go now.

Nikita

What's the point, I'm not going to run.

Operations

I don't have to justify anything to you.

Nikita

Today you do. Section's on trial. Defend it.

Nikita

Operations. Is that what it's about? Controlling the world?

Operations

We will control whatever we have to, to prevent the dark ages from descending again on the human race.

Adrian

Choose carefully, Nikita. There will never be a moment like this again in your lifetime.

Nikita

Michael, any words of wisdom?

Michael

What have you seen with your own eyes?

Madeline

Yes. Are the crimes we've committed worse than the crimes we've prevented? And the people we've brought down, is the world a better place without them?

Nikita

Yes it is.

Madeline

Then you have your answer.

Nikita

I didn't enjoy deceiving you, Michael, but Adrian was listening, it had to be real.

Michael

You have at least six hours before they make a decision. You're level two, they'll have to clear with oversight.

Nikita

I told you before, I'm not going to run.

Michael

They'll cancel you.

Nikita

Probably.

Nikita

I haven't seen Michael in a while. Has he been reassigned somewhere else?

Madeline

No.

Nikita

Where is he?

Madeline

Home, I think.

Nikita

Home?

Madeline

He as well. It's true our original intention was to eliminate you. That's been changed.

Nikita

Why?

Operations

You're no longer a threat to us.

Madeline

And your value as an operative remains strong. That will be all.

Nikita

Michael... your marriage to Elena. What is it?

Michael

It's a mission.

Nikita

She an operative?

Michael

No.

Nikita

She doesn't know.

Michael

No. We're after her father.

Nikita

So you're deceiving her to secure your cover? (Michael gives her the blank stare.) Is the child yours?

Michael

Yes

Nikita

For three years, you never told me you had a family, Michael.

Michael

I wanted you to know, but it's a tightly contained situation.

Nikita

I understand this is something you've been ordered to do. I don't know how you're able to live with it.

Nikita

You know, I was thinking about Simone last night. You were still married to her when this started, weren't you?

Michael

Yes, Simone knew about Elena.

Nikita

Was it difficult for her?

Michael

I don't know. We never talked about it.

Nikita

I wish you could have told me about … this.

Michael

I wish I could have.
