[to Michael] When I was growing up, I thought that any parent that gave their child up was unforgivable. That there'd never be a reason or an excuse for it. And now I'm standing here. What you did was an act of grace. You're a good father, Michael.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
It's bad enough Amanda's in bed with Gogol. Now she's using Division assets to steal our country's top-secret projects.
And the FBI's clueless.
MMicheal
That is why Senator Pierce called us. We've gotta find Deena and get this back. [notices Nikita smiling at him] What?
It's just funny. You... pacing back and forth. It's like deja vu. "Listen up, people. Our country needs us."
MMicheal
So you're in?
Oh, yeah. You had me at "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.
[listening in; to Nikita] Are you hearing this?
Hey, Birkhoff? Do me a favor. Cut me out of the feed. I've had enough Amanda for one night.
[Birkhoff watches Nikita through a security camera as she waltzes through a door.]
[to the guards] Hey, are you guys, like, trying to hide the bathrooms in here?
[The guards start talking to her in Russian]
[laughing] I have no idea what you're trying...
[The closing door cuts her off. Sounds of a scuffle can be heard. The doors reopen, and Nikita is leaning over a computer.]
Accessing building blueprints now. [as she's leaving] Boring conversation anyway
[Nikita pulls out a small explosive to open up a vault]
Okay, whoa, whoa. That room is full of military-grade explosives. Probably not the best idea to use that on the vault.
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.
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.
[sarcastically] Thanks, nerd. Wind beneath my wings.
What are you doing here, Nikita? I didn't kill Daniel. I didn't kill Ryan.
Oh, I'm so grateful.
You should be on your knees. I saved your life. When you came to me you were nothing, A foster kid tossed by the system, but I made you better. I made you amazing, and what did you do to repay me? You broke my heart.
You think you gave me some kind of gift? You took a messed up girl and you made her a broken woman. You told me I was beautiful and you told me that I was special-
You were!
-you lied! You took me from one hellhole and you put me in another. And then you dressed me up all pretty and you served me up to them. Just like my foster mother did. I broke your heart? You broke mine.
[about Tasarov] Okay, Rasputin. Just die already.
You know, this could have taken hours, but it didn't because I checked the toll booth cameras first. I eliminated the automated booths, narrowed the time frame, knowing Roan drives like a little old lady. Why? Because I AM AWESOME.
[Nikita and Michael just stare at her.]
What? Birkhoff always gets to brag.
[in the middle of a coffee shop] BOW DOWN BEFORE SHADOWWALKER!
[to Birkhoff] You know, when I'm out there risking my life, you are my lifeline. You're the voice in my ear telling bad jokes and getting me off safely. You are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. And that's a good thing, because I don't think the world could take two of you.
[to Ryan] Dude, I never knew facts could be a superpower before you.
Where's people?
Umm... Looks like Kendrick's in with Percy. They went to go deal with him.
That's very bad. That's very serious. [makes his voice grouchy] Very serious. You're all very serious around these parts.
[to Birkhoff] It's possible I went a little overboard with the pain meds.
Just gotta lighten up some, some? Learn to lighten up. Learn to like the little things in life. Like this cot, hm? This cot is awesome.
I'm sure it is.
You're awesome.
Thank you.
I'm cereal. You're amazing. What you've been through in life, to come through that and stay strong and keep your heart? It's incredible. There's no one else like you, Alex. Alexandra... Udinov. Is it Alexandra Ooh-dinov or Alexandra You-dinov? I can't...
Okay.

Onsite Alpha team confirms Nikita has just taken the MSS station chief hostage.
Birkhoff [referring to Ryan's expression]: Yeah, we used to get that look all the time in the old rogue Nikita days, the oh-no-she-didn't.
MMartin
You should have left Hong Kong. Now it's too late. You're going to have to watch him die.
You know what, Martin? You were right. Loved ones are a liability. It's a good thing I have more than one.
Anything that happens after this, you can blame on Martin. His body will be on that roof.
MSMSS Station Chief
American intelligence, always betraying each other. You really need to get your house in order.
Yeah, tell me about it...you know what, don't.
