Nikita quotes from La Femme Nikita

Nikita

Nothing. It’s just unusual. You sticking your neck out to help.

Michael

I like her.

Operations

... Thank you.

Nikita

For what?

Operations

You're competent and you keep your wits about you under fire. I tend towards impatience. It doesn't always work as well in the field.

Nikita

Sometimes I do things differently than what you would like, but I've set boundaries for myself, if I was to work outside those boundaries, I couldn't live with myself.

Operations

I appreciate that, Nikita, but it's not about you and your boundaries... it's not even about me and my impatience.

Nikita

I know. It's about the Section, right?

Operations

I know most of the operatives think of what they do here as nothing more than indentured servitude, it’s a way to stay alive, if I could just impart the way I feel about this place...

Michael

It's been a strange week.

Nikita

That's one way to put it. I don't know what was more unusual; Operations blowing up Section or you coming for dinner again.

Michael

I didn’t choose to stay away.

Nikita

But you did. So what's changed?

Michael

Maybe enough time has passed.

Nikita

Maybe too much time has passed, Michael.

Michael

I hope not.

Nikita

Thank you... So why are you here now?

Michael

I missed you.

Nikita

Good morning.

Michael

Good morning.

Nikita

It feels strange. We’re really together now.

Michael

If we want to be.

Nikita

Well... I want to be.

Michael

So do I.

Nikita

Section won’t like it. What do you think they’ll do?

Michael

We’ll have to see.

Michael

I expected betrayal from Mintz, not from you.

Nikita

What kind of loyalty do you want? Blind obedience or my honest opinion?

Michael

Don’t fail me, Nikita. You’re the only person in the world I trust.

Michael

This is Section. Missions are carried out, people die. And sometimes the reasons are not always clear.

Nikita

Are you saying there’s more to this than I know?

Michael

I’m saying the discussion’s over.

Nikita

I don’t know who you are.

Michael

I’m who I’ve always been.

Nikita

Good night, Michael.

Michael

We should stay together.

Nikita

I don't think I want that anymore.

Michael

You didn't like the way I acted when I had to take charge.

Nikita

You became a different person.

Michael

No, the same person, just playing a different role. Something we all have to do in here to survive.

Nikita

It doesn't matter how you intellectualize it. I feel the way I feel.

Michael

Davenport's capable.

Nikita

Capable is okay for some missions. Others it's not.

Michael

I don't want to talk about it.

Nikita

You're not the same. You said this wasn't going to affect you, but it has.

Michael

I'll get over it.

Nikita

Maybe you shouldn't try to. Maybe the job means more to you.

Nikita

Michael, we’re playing with fire.

Michael

I know.

Michael

They haven’t posted the new assignments yet.

Nikita

So we won’t be able to meet. Not enough time to form a plan.

Michael

If the posting happens soon, there’s still a chance.

Nikita

Why the delay?

Michael

Could be a hundred reasons.

Nikita

Could be about us.

Michael

They don’t know enough or they would have stopped us.

Nikita

Maybe we should pull back for a while.

Michael

We’ll be together soon. I’ll make it happen. Go now.

Michael

What did they do to you?

Nikita

Nothing. Nothing!

Michael

Tell me.

Nikita

Don't. I don’t know. Don’t remember. Don’t. It doesn’t work. I don’t love you anymore.

Nikita

They're watching us.

Michael

I know.

Nikita

What are you doing here?

Michael

I want some answers. We have two minutes.

Michael

Why?

Nikita

They tried to reprogram me. I had to let them think they'd succeeded.

Michael

When did it start?

Nikita

Genefex Mission.

Michael

You weren't at the rendezvous point.

Nikita

Birkoff sent me upstairs and Madeline was waiting. I was tranq'ed. I don't know what they did but when I awoke, I knew they'd been messing with my mind. They tried to strip me of my humanity. No feelings. No connection with anyone.

Michael

Why didn't you let me help you?

Nikita

There was too much surveillance. Believe me... believe me. I have to go.

Nikita

You want me to kill Michael?

Madeline

Is that a problem?

Nikita

No.
