Michael and Quinn/Nikita in “Up The Rabbit Hole”

I never loved Nikita.

I thought that was common knowledge.

Yes, it's what we wanted them to believe.

We?

Operations, Madeline. Me.

I've been through the databases a hundred times over, Michael. The time you spent with Nikita...

I was assigned to train her, motivate her adjustment.

Give her something to hang onto, to believe in.

Yes.

And your feelings for her? I have to give you credit, Michael, I'm beginning to understand why they value you so much around here. I'll have to figure this in. I'll let you know when I have a new profile.
