How is this going to work?
We can be careful, take things slowly.
There's another option, I mean, we can live the day like its our last.
It very well could be.
S3 E13Beyond The Pale
Thank you.
Dinner was wonderful, thank you.
Well it wasn't as good as the meal you cooked at the cabin.
I liked it there.
You know it can't be casual between you and me. I can't do that.
I know.
S3 E14Hand to Hand
I don't know. Maybe nothing, but I have to try.I have to try. I can't leave these women here, I have to help them. Michael, you've got a sister. When you went to prison, she was all alone. She could have ended up in a place like this if she hadn't been helped.
...But the question is, what kind of relationship do I have with you? Why don't you admit you were jealous and you still have feelings for me.
Of course I do. Admiration, respect, friendship.
If I thought your feelings went beyond friendship, I'd make this whole thing go away. Otherwise, I'll have to let bureaucracy take its course. And that could be very unpleasant.
Don't do this.
In the tower, tonight, ten o'clock
How do you do it? How do you stay sane? What's the secret?
Walter: Knowing when to lie, and when to tell the truth.
Nikita: To them?
Walter: To yourself. At night you go to bed knowing you live in hell. That's the truth.
Nikita: And the lie?
Walter: And you wake up in the morning thinking that this day may change everything…you'll escape, you'll fall in love, they'll close the place up and send everybody home.
Nikita: Then that night you have to face the truth again.
Walter: Yeah. But in the meantime, you've accomplished something that's truly remarkable. You've made it through another day.
S3 E15Before I Sleep
Not too weak. Sarah, I know you’re more comfortable here alone. Being with other people has always been difficult for you. And if you choose to stay here, I’ll leave. But if you want to do something that will help many people, save many lives – then you should come with me now.
What is it about me that scares you?
SSarah
I guess... I guess I find a different reason every time I meet a man…not that I-I meet that many.
And what reason are you giving yourself this time?
SSarah
You’re handsome. You probably get everything you want from women. Which means you’re not very nice.
You’re right.
SSarah
Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
SSarah
But you love someone, don’t you?
Why do you say that?
SSarah
I don’t know. You seem like you’re thinking about someone.
We’re not here to talk about me.
SSarah
I thought that you were here to make me feel comfortable.
I am.
SSarah
Talking about you does make me feel comfortable.
Okay. I’ll tell you about her.
Nothing. It’s just unusual. You sticking your neck out to help.
I like her.
S3 E16I Remember Paris
Is everyone out?
Yes.
How much time?
Three minutes.
Let's go.
You've been for here how many years, Michael? Seven?
Nine.
I came here 24 years ago.
... Thank you.
For what?
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.
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.
I appreciate that, Nikita, but it's not about you and your boundaries... it's not even about me and my impatience.
I know. It's about the Section, right?
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...
It's been a strange week.
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.
I didn’t choose to stay away.
But you did. So what's changed?
Maybe enough time has passed.
Maybe too much time has passed, Michael.
I hope not.
Thank you... So why are you here now?
I missed you.
S3 E17All Good Things
Good morning.
Good morning.
It feels strange. We’re really together now.
If we want to be.
Well... I want to be.
So do I.
Section won’t like it. What do you think they’ll do?
We’ll have to see.
I expected betrayal from Mintz, not from you.
What kind of loyalty do you want? Blind obedience or my honest opinion?
Don’t fail me, Nikita. You’re the only person in the world I trust.
This is Section. Missions are carried out, people die. And sometimes the reasons are not always clear.
Are you saying there’s more to this than I know?
I’m saying the discussion’s over.
I don’t know who you are.
I’m who I’ve always been.
Good night, Michael.
S3 E18Third Party Ripoff
We should stay together.
I don't think I want that anymore.
You didn't like the way I acted when I had to take charge.
You became a different person.
No, the same person, just playing a different role. Something we all have to do in here to survive.
It doesn't matter how you intellectualize it. I feel the way I feel.
