best dialogue
[Following the murder of Helmut's brother Kristof...]
NIKITA: "You all right?"
HELMUT: "They stole money. Thirty years of life for a few dollars. At that price, mine could be had for pocket change."
N: "No, that’s not true. You’re a good man."
H: "Yeah, but isn’t goodness in the eyes of the beholder? And who, besides you, could begin to behold such a thing?"
N: "You. That’s all you have, Helmut. That’s the best any of us can ever get. We live with ourselves and we die with ourselves and the choices that we make. What other people think…."
H: "So --what -- we live in isolation? Alone, without contact, without love? Could you do such a thing?"
N: "I have."
H: "Always?"
N: "I don’t know. I think if you live without something long enough….you may not recognize it if it happens to find you."
H: Freddie loves you. Something in the way he looked at you. And God knows – maybe in this wretched life I’ve chosen -- maybe I do too."
