Operations : Have you made your decision about Karyn?
Nikita : Yes, I have.
Operations : And?
Nikita : [after a while] Cancel her.
Madeline : She's already been cancelled.
Nikita : What you are talking about? I just spoke with her.
Madeline : It doesn't take long.
Nikita : But I hadn't made my decision yet.
Madeline : It wasn't your decision.
Nikita : What does it mean?
Madeline : An operative's resolve and judgement are as important as her tactical skills. We knew Karyn would be a problem. We wanted to see if you came to the same conclusion.
Nikita : If I hadn't?
Operations : Then we would had two problems.
