Seymour Birkhoff quotes from Nikita

Birkhoff

Dude, you need to stop getting so personally invested in recruits. It never ends well for you; also it's getting kind of creepy. Alex is not Nikita.

Michael

Thanks for the tip.

Birkhoff

Did you just say Shadow Walker?

Yeah! He's done, like, the most ingenious hacks of the last decade. What, you've never heard of him?

Birkhoff

No, I know him. Dude's a legend.

Michael

It's bad enough Amanda's in bed with Gogol. Now she's using Division assets to steal our country's top-secret projects.

Birkhoff

And the FBI's clueless.

That is why Senator Pierce called us. We've gotta find Deena and get this back. [notices Nikita smiling at him] What?

Nikita

It's just funny. You... pacing back and forth. It's like deja vu. "Listen up, people. Our country needs us."

So you're in?

Nikita

Oh, yeah. You had me at "Amanda".

Amanda

[about Zetrov] But what it doesn't have is American operatives. For example, if you needed to cripple a competitor, I could do it cleanly and effectively, with no risk of exposure. You wouldn't even have to sacrifice your own men. My operatives are fully expendable.

Birkhoff

[listening in; to Nikita] Are you hearing this?

Nikita

Hey, Birkhoff? Do me a favor. Cut me out of the feed. I've had enough Amanda for one night.

Birkhoff

Okay, whoa, whoa. That room is full of military-grade explosives. Probably not the best idea to use that on the vault.

Nikita

Important safety tip. Twelve-key alphanumeric keypad. Let's do this old school. [blows makeup onto the keypad] All right, I've got a two, a four, a five, a seven, and a nine.

Birkhoff

Okay, five digits. That's, uhh... 120 combinations if there's no repeats in the string. If there are, we're talking over three thousand combinations.

Nikita

[sarcastically] Thanks, nerd. Wind beneath my wings.

Birkhoff

It won't set off the vest.

Nikita

You're sure?

Birkhoff

Positive. Like...97%.
