La Femme Nikita Season 2 Episode 15

Nikita: (showing Hillinger a man being tortured) You like that? Because you better get used to it if you want to hang here. Happens everyday.
Greg Hillinger: What is he? Some kind of criminal?
Nikita: No. That's Dave. He works here.

Madeline: (when Greg shows the research he's done on Section) We've let you roam through an outer, nonsecured area of the network to give you something to do.
Greg Hillinger: Gee, thanks! You think I can't dig deeper?
Madeline: If you did, and by some fluke happened onto something classified, you would never go home again, never see your mother again. Your life would be over.

Nikita: He's a teenage boy with an extraordinary mind. Who knows what he'll accomplish or how many people will benefit if he lives. You want to lock him up because that's what the rule book says?
Madeline: Your point is well-taken. But these aren't easy decisions. I don't enjoy making them.
Nikita: I think you do. I think you go home to bed every night, hoping someone will screw up, so you can make your 'hard decisions'.
