Madeline- It's better for Operatives to find relationships that won't affect their work. Your passion for life is very strong, Nikita. It enables you to accomplish things that no one else can. It can also destroy you.

Walter- You of all people are telling me, to lie? Nikita- No, I'm telling you to survive. Walter- Well, I'm really not interested in surviving anymore. What I am interested in is living that's where the real difference is. Oh, hell, I've been hanging around this place too long already. Nikita- Walter, don't talk like that again. Walter- Just what I've always said. You're one of the good ones. Don't change.

Madeline- I've studied his file very carefully. Reviewed his evaluations, assessed his psychological profile in great detail. Ops- And? Madeline- I don't know.

Operations- Think of the possibilities. Madeline- It can never be what it was. Operations- It can be more than it is. Madeline- Let's not go into this again. Operations- I can't go on living in twilight. It has to be day or night.
