Nikita quotes from La Femme Nikita

Nikita

They want you dead.

Michael

I know.

Michael

Do you know who you are?

Nikita

Do I know who I am? I'm me... and I love you.

Michael

Do you? Or do you want to kill me?

Nikita

Why are you talking like this?

Michael

If I hand you this gun, are you going to shoot me? You won't have any reason to hesitate. The order has been given.

Nikita

Michael. You don't belong here anymore, Michael.

Michael

Why are you saying that?

Nikita

'Cause you don't have what it takes. If you did, I'd be dead.

Michael

They changed you.

Nikita

Something better.

Michael

You only think that because you can't remember what you were.

Nikita

I remember. I prefer this. No needs, no fears, no desires. I used to think you were like that. But you're not, are you? You're weak. You should let them make you feel stronger.

Michael

There was a time when we used to care for each other.

Nikita

Well that time is gone. There's nothing you can do to change that. If you think otherwise, then you're the one that needs help.

Nikita

I don't care about you.

Michael

Yes you do. You just need time to remember. You're going through withdrawal.

Nikita

From what?

Michael

Gelman's maintenance drug.

Nikita

Why do you care?

Michael

Drink this.

Nikita

Don't come near me. You had me emotionally, Michael you blew it. Does it hurt to be on the other side? Are you in pain?

Michael

You have to drink this.

Nikita

You're dead Michael! When they find out you're off profile, you're dead!

Nikita

I slept.

Michael

Yes...

Nikita

There's still pain.

Michael

It'll go away.

Nikita

When?

Michael

When you let it go, Nikita.

Nikita

Michael. I love you.

Michael

We can't stay here.

Nikita

I know.

Michael

We have to be stronger than them.

Nikita

I'd rather die than go back now.

Michael

Don't say that.

Nikita

Why?

Michael

Because I can't live without you.

Michael

Where are you staying tonight?

Nikita

They’ve assigned me to temporary quarters while they scrub all traces of the Gelman process from my little apartment. I’ve got to say, my new pad’s almost as nice as this.

Michael

For how long?

Nikita

Two weeks.

Michael

You could stay with me.

Nikita

Are you asking me to move in with you?

Michael

You’d be more comfortable.

Nikita

Well, is this for two weeks or were you thinking of something a little more... permanent?

Michael

We’d have more privacy.

Nikita

And how is it that you think that we’re going to get away with that?

Michael

Adrian.

Nikita

I’ll think about it.

Michael

What are you thinking?

Nikita

About the man I’m going to marry. It’s one thing to convince another man that I love him enough to marry him, but the idea of not seeing you again...

Michael

You have to separate Anna’s life from Nikita’s.

Nikita

Is that what you did with Elena?

Michael

I tried.

Nikita

So even with everything that you went through, you still think it’s possible to hold on to your heart?

Michael

Yes. We’ll find a way to stop this.

Nikita

Thanks. He was a good man.

Michael

Good men are hard to find.

Nikita

Yes, they are.

Nikita

I’m sorry, I... it’s just that I...

Michael

It’s all right.

Nikita

How do you do it, Michael?

Michael

Do what?

Nikita

Keep your feelings sorted out, your head straight. You were married to Elena.

Michael

Well, sometimes, our thoughts and feelings take us where we can no longer go. Feelings are not captive.

Nikita

Maybe it’d be better if they were.

Michael

I don’t know.

Nikita

You know, a year ago, having time like this together... Michael, I’m lost, I don’t know what I am anymore.

Operations

You did what I asked you to do, I owe you fifteen days, they’re yours. Something wrong?

Michael

We’d prefer to wait.

Operations

If that’s what you want.

Nikita

It would be better to wait.

Michael

He wanted to know why you contacted me.

Nikita

What did you say?

Michael

I didn't have the answer.

Nikita

I don't want to be free if I can't be with you.

Michael

They won't make it easy on us.

Nikita

What else is new?

Nikita

Michael. What's happening here?

Michael

What do you mean?

Nikita

Why the time pressure to make these kids operatives. Operations is planning something, isn't he?

Michael

I don't know.

Nikita

Well if this is for real, we're going to be here forever.

Michael

Is this so bad?

Nikita

It's beautiful here.

Michael

You're beautiful.

Nikita

I used to dream that there were places like this somewhere. Safe, warm. Do you ever think of anything like that?

Michael

Yes.

Nikita

You never talk about it.

Michael

Inside. Nobody can change it. It will always be what I need it to be.

Nikita

Is it anything like this?

Michael

A little maybe... you're there.

Nikita

Is Madeline dead?

Michael

There were no survivors.

Nikita

I don’t know how I feel.

Michael

We destroyed Red Cell's base of operations.

Nikita

I know what the trade off was. I can't help but wonder whether it was worth sacrificing one of our own.
