Michael and Nikita in “Unfinished Business”

Michael

I know you're in this for revenge.

Nikita

You blame me? You know firsthand what it feels like. Have the thing you love most in life taken away from you.

Michael

It wasn't your life. It was your cover. I warned you not to get emotionally attached.

Nikita

You mean the way you did... With me?

Michael

Don't. Don't.

Nikita

Michael, I know why you're staying there. You want to protect the other recruits the way you protected me.

Michael

I can't protect you anymore.

Nikita

Then let me go. Or stop me now.

Michael

I'll give you a head start. If we meet again I can't promise what will happen.

Nikita

I can. It's a good wound. They'll think you tried to stop me. Just trying to protect you.
