Nikita: Frontal assault's not gonna work. We need a diversion to flush them out.

Michael: That's the __(1)__ we used with Kasim in Uzbekistan and it didn't work.

Nikita: Well, it would have, except you __(2)__ your position.

Michael: To save your life.

Nikita: I didn’'t need saving.

Michael: Yes, you did. __(3)__, you were in a bad way.

Nikita: When are you gonna realize I can take care of myself? What?

Michael: You don't need me to save you, but you stopped me from getting Kasim in the airport because you just had to save me.

Nikita: That was different. You were committing __(4)__. I was trying to save you from yourself.

Michael: God, you just don't get it, do you? Nikita, I had him. I was past security. I was on the tarmac. In five more seconds, that shiv would have been between his __(5)__ and I would have been the one pushing it in, looking at him as he realized it was me. Then I would have been gone and nobody would have seen anything. That is what you took from me.

Nikita: I couldn't have known you were that close. All I knew is you could have easily been killed. I didn't think –

Michael: That is it with you. You don't think. You just do. Nikita the righteous.

Nikita: Fine. Yes, that's me. You think you know me so well, Michael? What I did I did out of… Not wanting to see you get hurt.

尼基塔：我们不能采取正面进攻，要分散注意力，转移他们。 迈克尔：在乌兹别克斯坦对付卡西姆时就用了这招，但是不奏效。 尼基塔：本来能成功的，都怪你没有坚守阵地。 迈克尔：我是为了救你。 尼基塔：不需要。 迈克尔：需要。从战术上说，当时你进退两难。 尼基塔：你什么时候才能明白我能管好我自己？笑什么？ 迈克尔：你用不着我来救你，但你却在机场阻挠我抓卡西姆就是因为你要救我。 尼基塔：情况不同。你那是在自杀，我只是想要挽救你。 迈克尔：老天，你还不明白，是吧？尼基塔，我掌握了他的动向，通过了安检，已经在停机坪上了，再多五秒钟，尖刀就会刺入他的肋骨，而我就是了结他的人，看着他，让他意识到，是我杀了他，然后我就溜之大吉，没人会察觉。可这一切都是因为你失败了。 尼基塔：我不知道你胜利在望，我只知道你很可能会死掉，我不觉得—— 迈克尔：那是你的想法，你虽然不这么想，可是你这么做了。正义的尼基塔。 尼基塔：好吧，我就是这样。迈克尔，你以为你很了解我吗？我这么做是因为不想看到你受伤。
