Michael Samuelle quotes from La Femme Nikita

Nikita

I didn't realize you had such talent in the kitchen, Michael.

Michael

There's still a lot of things that you don't know about me. (looking at her) Maybe it's time you learned.

Nikita

How long do you think we'll stay here?

Michael

Not long enough!

Nikita

I'm so glad you brought me here. I wish we could stay.

Michael

Let's not think about the future. Let's just enjoy this while it lasts.

Nikita

How is this going to work?

Michael

We can be careful, take things slowly.

Nikita

There's another option, I mean, we can live the day like its our last.

Michael

It very well could be.

Nikita

Thank you.

Michael

Dinner was wonderful, thank you.

Nikita

Well it wasn't as good as the meal you cooked at the cabin.

Michael

I liked it there.

Nikita

You know it can't be casual between you and me. I can't do that.

Michael

I know.

Michael

What is it about me that scares you?

I guess... I guess I find a different reason every time I meet a man…not that I-I meet that many.

Michael

And what reason are you giving yourself this time?

You’re handsome. You probably get everything you want from women. Which means you’re not very nice.

Michael

You’re right.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Michael

No.

But you love someone, don’t you?

Michael

Why do you say that?

I don’t know. You seem like you’re thinking about someone.

Michael

We’re not here to talk about me.

I thought that you were here to make me feel comfortable.

Michael

I am.

Talking about you does make me feel comfortable.

Michael

Okay. I’ll tell you about her.

Nikita

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

Michael

I like her.

Operations

Is everyone out?

Michael

Yes.

Operations

How much time?

Michael

Three minutes.

Operations

Let's go.

Operations

You've been for here how many years, Michael? Seven?

Michael

Nine.

Operations

I came here 24 years ago.

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.
