You can have the god damn cell phone; it's not a matter of national security. Where's my agent?

Michael [to Nikita]

All this time working with Percy and you're still bad at lying.

Guard: How's the arms business going?
Michael: It has its hits and misses, you know.

Birkhoff [on Irina]: I put this girl through facial recognition. Every database didn't get a single hit.
Michael: No background? No identity? No nothing? We might as well recruit her into Division as Alex's replacement.

Nikita: Amanda will try to get inside your head.
Alex: I was a junkie, remember? I'm good at telling lies.

If Percy finds out an agent went AWOL, it'll give him a reason to test out his kill chip.

Michael

If God is in the details, than I'm God.

Birkhoff

Michael: She hasn't checked in, something might have gone wrong with that op.
Birkhoff: Or something went right with the date, shazam! Dude, you really need to get a sense of humor.
Michael: I don't laugh at your jokes because I have a sense of humor.

Bouncer: Let me guess. Model? Actress?
Nikita: Assassin.

Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I'd still be like her.

Alex [to Nikita]

Alex: I thought relationships with outsiders were dangerous?
Nikita: They are, but you can't live the lie. It's not enough. You have to live a life too.

Nikita: Do you think we could ever erase who we were? Come back from it?
Fletcher: From what?
Nikita: All the things we've done, everything.
Fletcher: Yes.
