[last lines]
Walter : It was a three man mission in the Balcans. A motion detector failed, I got out live, but the other two didn't. They were in the five percent I told you about.
Nikita : Good men.
Walter : The best. And got me interested in the gadgets we use, I... designed a few myself, and eventually I got into it full time. In it ever since. Hmmm, by the way, you should start thinking about *your* future too.
Nikita : In my future?
Walter : People *don't* live forever in the field. You should... move into another area, Comm, Research, Profiling. I could use an assistant.
[Nikita gently laughs]
Walter : No, come on, I'm... I'm serious.
Nikita : I think I'd feel too guilty knowing there are people out there risking her lives.
Walter : Trust me. You're get over it.
Nikita : How you do it? How you stay sane?
[pauses]
Nikita : What's the secret?
Walter : Knowing, when to lie and when to tell the truth.
Nikita : To them?
Walter : To yourself. At night you go to bed, *knowing* that you live in hell, that's the truth.
Nikita : And the lie?
Walter : When you wake up in the morning, thinking that *this* day, may... change everything. You'll escape, you fall in love, they'll close the place up and send everybody home.
Nikita : At the night, have to face the truth again.
Walter : Yeah, but in the meantime, you've accomplished something trully remarkable.
[pauses]
Walter : You made it thru another day.
Nikita : [phone rings; Nikita answers] Hello.
Michael Samuelle : [on the phone] Josephine.
