Operations: We will control whatever we have to, to prevent the dark ages from descending again on the human race.
Adrian: Choose carefully, Nikita. There will never be a moment like this again in your lifetime.
Nikita: Michael, any words of wisdom?
Michael: What have you seen with your own eyes?

Nikita: Yes it is.
Madeline: Then you have your answer.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Michael: I don't think you want to see the Section destroyed. But that is what will happen if you don't abort this mission.
Madeline: Why? Because you think this made a difference? Next time, Michael, pick your conspirators more carefully. We fed Birkoff false information. You'll never be able to link us to Adrian's death. Not as long as I'm here.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita

Michael: Yes

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Nikita: For three years, you never told me you had a family, Michael.

Madeline: Elena has been released from the hospital. Physically, she's fine.
Operations: And of course, she and Adam will be provided for. Full package.
Madeline: Would you like us to copy you on their progress reports? I think we should acknowledge the personal sacrifice Michael has made and give him some time alone.
Operations: Absolutely.
Madeline: You can go, Michael.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Nikita: Michael. I can't imagine what it must be like knowing that you're not going to see Adam again. You can't be like this. Not here. If there's anything that I can do.
Michael: There's not.
Nikita: It might help to talk. You can't keep this inside you forever.
Michael: Talking won't help.
Nikita: If you change your mind, I'm here.
Michael: Thank you.

Nikita: So, what are you doing?
Michael: Playing the cello.
Nikita: Your security isn’t engaged.
Michael: Sometimes he couldn’t go to sleep at night unless I played it for him. It’s his birthday today. I bought him a present.
Nikita: That you can never give him?
Michael: Yes. That I can never give him.
Nikita: You’re not well.
Michael: Who is?

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Madeline: My point is, if we push Michael too hard we may destroy him and that would be a pity.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Operations: Michael keeps up or otherwise he falls by the wayside like everyone else. We'll proceed as planned. If Michael can't cut it we might as well find out now.

Abby: What about tonight?
Michael: Tonight?
Abby: Well, we're both off. Unless, of course, you're not in the mood.
Michael: How do you feel?
Abby: Well, missions have gone bad before. As far as I'm concerned, tonight should be just like any other night between the two of us.
Michael: Yes, you're right.
Abby: My place, an hour?
Michael: I'll be there.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Birkoff: Nikita, what happened between us...
Nikita: Nothing happened between us, Birkoff.
Birkoff: Did in a way, I mean, you were on the other end, talking to her and listening, right? Did I make a complete idiot out of myself?
Nikita: Well, from what I could tell, you're pretty delicious.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Nikita: She was convincing.
Michael: Very.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Nikita: I'm not in the habit of killing people in cold blood.
Madeline: In this case, you might want to make an exception. In a manner of speaking, she possessed you, in body as well as mind.
Nikita: Your psych profile suggests that by killing her, I can best exorcise her?
Madeline: Yes.
Nikita: I don't think so.
Madeline: If I do it instead, I think you'll regret it, but the choice is yours.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita

Nikita: The crime that got Section's attention, the reason I'm here? I didn't do it.
Walter: Well that may be true but what the hell difference does it make now?
Nikita: Suppose I was framed in the first place, because they wanted me here?
Walter: Why?
Nikita: Yeah, why?

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Nikita: I'm a veteran here, Michael - I have my own sources, you know.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Michael: Stop playing games, Nikita. What's really going on?
Nikita: I need to know why Section chose me.
Michael: What do you mean?
Nikita: They brought me in Michael... just like they did Kruger.
Michael: It's been three years. If you were brought in here for some other reason, you'd know by now.
Nikita: Maybe. Maybe not. If you won't help me, will you at least not interfere? Would you do that much for me? Please?
Michael: Yes. Nikita? What if you don't like what you find.
Nikita: Anything's better than not knowing.

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Nikita: You knew it all along didn't you (Michael shows no emotion) Don't you ever get tired of being their errand boy Michael?

TV Show: La Femme Nikita
Michael: It's yours. I'm down tomorrow.
Nikita: Yeah.
Michael: You want to spend the day together?
Nikita: Well, I'd like that Michael, but I've already made plans. Perhaps some other time?
