Michael Samuelle quotes from La Femme Nikita

Operations

In a few weeks, most likely, I'll be moving to Oversight which means you will be given the Perch, Section One will be yours. You don't seem pleased?

Michael

I am.

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.

Michael

I'd prefer a bullet.

Operations

A bullet? Nikita was right, you'll get over her death, she'll never be able to get over yours. This is just to help you get through this.

Michael

No! 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.

Nikita

You wanna do this?

Michael

I do.

Nikita

I lied.

Michael

I know.

Michael

Come with me.

Nikita

I could never replace Elena in Adam's eyes, Michael.

Michael

Don't try. Be yourself.

Nikita

A white picket fence? A minivan? A cocker spaniel?

Michael

Why not? We could even have children of our own.

Nikita

I fear I've lost the courage for our dream, Michael.

Michael

It's no dream.

Michael

We'll make it work.

Michael

You'll take care of Adam?

Nikita

I will.

Michael

Goodbye, Nikita.

Nikita

Goodbye, Michael... Goodbye.

Nikita

According to my father, I was born for this.

Michael

There'll be a time when Adam won't need me anymore.

Nikita

You know where I am. I love you.

Michael

I love you.
