La Femme Nikita, Season 1

Nikita:
When I was first recruited in the Section, you were my trainer. You decided whether or not I made it.

Michael:
That is right.

Nikita:
How did you make your decision? What were you looking for? Is it some kind of checklist, 7 out of 10 I live, anything less I die? Or is it intuition, gut feeling?

Michael:
I don't believe in intuition. You scores were high, you excelled in all areas. It wasn't a very difficult decision.

Nikita:
So why did Operations resist?

Michael:
Who told you that?

Nikita:
Intuition.

Michael:
Operations didn't like you.

Nikita:
But you did.
