Nikita (TV series)/Quotes
"Pilot"
Nikita: [Voiceover] My name is Nikita. Six years ago I was taken out of prison and forced by a covert unit of the government to be an assassin. Three years ago I escaped and have been hunted ever since. I was the first recruit to get out. I'm going to make certain I'm not the last. |
Michael: Your life is over, Alex. I'm here to offer you a new one. But you have to be willing to earn it. |
Percy: [about Nikita] Did she say who she was working for? |
Nikita: They told me I killed a cop. I don't remember...I've tried to. I'd just turned eighteen, so they were able to charge me with murder one. I was sentenced to die by lethal injection. |
"2.0"
Michael: You can quit or you can die, but you can't stop Division. No one can. |
Nikita: The last word they breathe before the end, will be my name. |
Ronnie: Who the hell are you? |
Jaden: What do you think I'm doing? I'm kicking your ass! [Tries to fight Alex] |
Nikita: [To Alex] I know who killed your parents. Trust me; you have something to live for. |
"Kill Jill"
Alex: Doesn't the window work both ways? |
Birkhoff: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Data breach? No way. No. Our network is Fort Knox. Internal servers are air-gapped and I run routine PAN tests on the outer defenses. We're talking five-tier security with protocols that rotate every hour, on the hour. That's proprietary software. Only person who could dream of hacking into Division is me. [Michael and Percy stare at Birkhoff] What? |
Percy: If we give them a full profile, it will invariably prompt the inane moral debate about the target being a good person. Last thing we need right now is for another recruit to discover their inner Nikita. Tell 'em it's a training exercise. |
Nikita: You need to stick with what you can prove. If this video turns out to be all it's cracked up to be, you get to prove that a Fortune 500 CEO is smuggling drugs. You will never be able to prove who the guys were in the helicopters. |
Alex: Pretty cool how you can hack into all these servers. Local theatres, local police...FBI? |
Nikita: How do you know it was cocaine? |
"Rough Trade"
Lisa Han: You said you didn't want forgiveness, but you deserve it, Nikita. |
Nikita: I can't believe I ever thought you were cute. |
Amanda: I'm proud of you Alex; you really do remind me of Nikita. |
Victor: Nikita. I was told some crazy bitch burned down my factory, I wasn't sure. |
Birkhoff: Man, Nikki's all hardcore about this huh? Kinda crazy how she's going back to her greatest hits, no pun. |
Michael: OK, so where is this place? |
"The Guardian"
Nikita: That's the difference between you and me, Percy. You'll kill anyone, I don't waste life. |
Nikita: The man could not keep it in his pants if it was tied to his zipper, you know what I'm saying? |
Nikita: I go rogue, Percy sics Michael on me. You get his personal attention. |
Nikita: Good place to hide, a school bound to hell. Remind you of Division any? |
"Resistance"
Alex: They killed my parents; this is my fight too. |
Alex: One minute you're telling me everything's going to be OK, and the next minute you're kissing Percy's ass. |
Percy: There was only one time that I have ever doubted your loyalty, and my concern was that this was going to be another Nikita. |
Michael: We'll make this right, OK? I won't let anything happen to you. I'm not going to lose you, too. |
Michael: According to the world she's just a dead junkie, who's she going to contact? |
Nikita: I told myself if I could just find you and see if you were OK, that I would have done one good thing in my life. |
Nikita: I made the same mistake you did. The best mistake of my life. |
Owen: I'm naked. |
Nikita: That's what Percy does. He destroys the thing you love, so he can get the thing he wants. |
Owen: Why don't you just let me go? |
"The Recruit"
Alex: They killed Robbie. You were right, it hurts. |
Nikita: What'd you tell the girl? |
Birkhoff: Oh, holy night. |
Alex: They can use us for whatever they want because we don't exist. We could get killed, but we're already dead. I wouldn't be so anxious to get out there. |
Alex: Nikita, this girl is worth saving. |
Birkhoff: You have an attachment to things from the past, or things that have passed on. It's ok to miss her, you know? Nikki was one in a million; a force of nature. Like a one woman Michael Bay movie, only with good acting. |
"The Phoenix"
Nikita: You tried to kill me. |
Oliver: Was it even real for her? |
Senator: Are you going to let me go? |
Ari: So, Percy sent you to kill me? Now there's an ego boost. |
Nikita: Before you pull the trigger, you should know my name. |
Ari: A killer with a conscience; it's no wonder they cut you loose. |
Birkhoff: The target from yesterday, she's still dead right? Cause she just clocked into work. |
"One Way"
Michael: What are you, the CIA? |
Kaseem: What drives you, Michael? |
Nikita: Michael, you think you have nothing to live for, well you do. You have me. |
Michael: They'll never be another woman for me, you know that right? Unless she's really hot. |
Nikita: I'm the better shot. |
Nikita: I'm done. I can't have another one. |
Nikita: I'm not going to hurt you. |
Michael: What the hell are you doing here? |
"Dark Matter"
Nikita: See anything else? |
Fletcher: Divison. Just Division? |
Percy: Bring your best team. If those two are working together, they're going to be hard to stop. |
Birkhoff: I'm not a spice girl, and I was never ever obscure. I was elusive, and a little dangerous. I was a legend. |
Owen: I'm new at this hero stuff, you've been doing it a lot longer. |
"All The Way"
Percy: Even with all of the trouble you've caused, it still feels good to see you back where you belong. |
Alex: You make it sound like you're my guardian angel. |
Jaden: I bet she used it to get into Percy's office too. Remember when Jerkoff tried to pin that on me? |
"Free"
Alex: I was never meant to live a normal life, and I couldn't even if I wanted to. Not until I get revenge for my family. I'm here to finish this fight, just like you. |
Birkhoff: Percy trusts me. |
Birkhoff: [to Fletcher] Listen, mini Ethan Hunt. You need to worry about where you're headed, because you have no idea who you're dealing with. Not only have I always wanted to say that, it's true. |
Alex: I got invited to a party. I thought it'd be good to go. For my cover. |
Nikolai Udinov: The only one you can count on... is you. |
"Coup de Grace"
Nikita: NYPD, do you copy? |
Percy: If you kill Nikita as well, I'll cut down our commission. |
Prince: I have no anesthetic. |
Nikita: When I was at Division... well, I never got one of those merits, but I heard they suck. |
Alex: Is it Nikita-proofed? |
"The Next Seduction"
Alex: I thought relationships with outsiders were dangerous? |
Nikita [to Percy]: Don't worry. When I bury you, I won't call to brag first. |
Alex: I thought it'd be easier on the outside |
Percy: First Owen, now Ryan, she always was the ultimate honey trap. |
Emile: You certainly don't fight like a banker. |
"Alexandra"
Amanda: Michael, I've done this before. All the drug addicts that wind up here as recruits, I'm practically running a rehab clinic. |
Michael: If Percy finds out an agent went AWOL, it'll give him a reason to test out his kill chip. |
Birkhoff: If God is in the details, than I'm a God. |
Bouncer: Let me guess. Model? Actress? |
Michael: She hasn't checked in, something might have gone wrong with that op. |
"Echoes"
Amanda: In her dream state Alex projects a mysterious female nemesis was chasing her. She kept repeating "it's her, she's coming". At first I thought she meant me, then Nikita perhaps, but now it makes perfect sense. Given her guilt about Thom, the answer is obvious; she's afraid of herself. |
Michael: You're using rehab to conduct an interrogation? |
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. |
Gustoff: In our world, friends are not assets, they're liabilities. |
Nikita's voicemail: Hi, this is Nikita. I'm out saving the world right now, so please leave a message after the beep. |
Birkhoff: And the plot thickens. What was the plot, exactly? |
"Covenants"
Michael: If I had just listened to you 5 years ago, things could have been different. |
Nikita [to Michael]: You're the strongest person I've ever met. I don't think you're capable of not caring. |
Kasim [to Michael]: Percy walked into your hospital room 9 years ago, and he's been using you ever since. He promised you vengeance against a ghost that he himself has created. You deserve to know the truth. |
Kasim: You seem like someone with faith. |
Nikita: All in one piece. Unlike my ego. |
"Into the Dark"
Nikita: Do you realize I'm your nurse a lot? You're unconscious half the time we're together. |
Michael: The black box is destroyed. That's the second one she's gotten to. Perhaps you should re think your black box strategy? |
Amanda: You of all people should know the consequences of falling in love with an agent. |
Owen: [About Michael] He's kinda scrawny. |
Michael: [to Nikita] So you'll be in London? With him? |
"Girl's Best Friend"
Michael: Are you telling me you think there's a good side to Division? |
Jaden: Not so bad for a couple of cover girls, huh? |
Nikita: [to Michael] I'm an agent all over again. Wasn't that some sort of fantasy of yours? |
Anya: And the trigger? |
"Glass Houses"
Amanda: [After discovering how Jaden died] Alex, one more thing. Are you familiar with Division cochlear implants? Division's been developing them for quite some time. They go into the subjects' ears and are virtually undetectable, even the subjects they're planted on. How much longer did you think you could hide who you really are, Alexandra? |
Dana Winters: Before you came I was trapped. Stuck in two worlds I was afraid of, afraid to walk away. |
Birkhoff: I'm throwing a net over the whole town. Every phone, camera and computer, be mine! |
Jaden: So you knocked boots with the guy, so what? But it seems like you let your guard down along with your pants. |
Nathan: [to Alex]: Here's the stuff you left at my place. |
"Betrayals"
Percy: Nikita is a light woman with a heavy foot and a lot of tracking. |
Nikita: My life is on this box, the lives of people I care about, Fletcher. I'll guard it with mine. |
Percy: Nikita and Alex are en route. When it's over, clean them both. |
Ryan Fletcher: Tom Cruise on a harness couldn't get in there. |
Nikita: Operation Sparrow? Honestly, where does he come up with these names? |
"Pandora"
Percy: Covenant? Wow. I knew this was a 'come-to-Jesus' meeting, but covenant? That's old testimony. |
Percy: Off to Oversight. Off to see the wizards. |
Nikita: My orders were to kill your whole family. I saved you. It was the first time I defied Division. |
Birkhoff: I figure if Nikita can keep giving Division the finger I can at least cross mine behind my back. |
Amanda: I'm not going to hold onto you like I held onto Nikita. |
