Barry Allen quotes from The Flash

[after reviewing H.R.'s CV] Is any of what's on here true?

All of it.

Barry

How? You can barely turn on a computer.

There are two parts to every idea. There is the inception and the execution... I provide the former.

So you come up with the ideas.

Yeah. I don't know how to implement them. I'm the idea man.

Why don't we say what this is really about? You're okay with Barry having powers. You're okay with Barry running into danger, fighting all these metas. He could screw up over and over again, and you're okay with all of it because he's Barry. But you won't give me the same amount of leeway because at the end of the day, you just don't... trust me.

Barry

You know that's not true, Wally.

I don't need you to fight my dad's battles for him. Say it, Joe. You don't... trust me, do you?

Wally,....

That's what I thought. [leaves]

Julian

Particulae around the eye. The crushed larynx. This poor chap has got fingerprints all around his neck. He's clearly been strangled.

Barry

I heard multiple witnesses said the man was attacked by a shadow.

Julian

Huh. So a meta from Neverland's made the trip to Central City. Fabulous.

I hate that we have to do this. He so badly wanted powers, and now to keep him locked up so he doesn't get them, it's...

Barry

It's hard, I know.

I don't know if you actually do.

Barry

What does that mean?

All Wally wants to do is to help people. And to see you do that every day while all he can do is stand by and watch... it's hard being a bystander sometimes.

Barry

You don't... feel that way, too, do you?

Barry,... c'mon. My contributions here are limited. I don't know science. I don't have powers. I don't know how to help you.

Barry

I couldn't do this without you.

It's not true.

Barry

That is true. Whether you realize it or not, there is no Flash without Iris West.

Barry

Cait, I know what a risk you took using your powers. Thank you.

I didn't do anything.

Barry

Well, you saved my life.

You've saved mine plenty of times.

Barry

He said his name was Savitar.

Hindu god of motion.

What? How do you know that?

Crossword puzzle wizard. On two planets, I might add. 12 across, 7 letters. Savitar. Bam. Hindu god of motion.

Barry

He said he was God.

That's -- that's nice. That's not scary. At all.

Barry

I know that we love you, and we would do everything that we can to help you. You and I, we've been through too much together to let each other down now. Please, let me help you.

Like you helped your mother?

Barry

Caitlin.

Or Wally? Or me? You keep messing with everyone's lives, wrecking everything, and we're left behind to pick up the pieces from your mistakes. Some things you break can't be put back together.

Barry, you are an incredible C.S.I. and no one in this building cares more about helping people find justice than you. And that was long before you were The Flash. This lab, it's your life.

Barry

You're my life. Both of you. And Wally and Caitlin and Cisco. If these past few months have taught me anything, it's that I would give up everything I have to keep you all safe. No regrets.

Every time I think you've run out of ways to be a hero, you show me another one.

Barry

It was nice, having you out there with me.

Yeah, I never had a sidekick.

Barry

Oh, I'm your sidekick?

Well, as a senior partner....

Barry

"Senior citizen" is more like it.

[speaking through Julian] Hello, Barry. It's been a while.

Barry

Savitar.

None of you are on your knees. It's a smart move to bow before a deity.

Barry

You're not a god.

To be a god, you just have to make people believe you are.

No one believes in you.

You should, Iris. I hold the power of life and death over all of you.

How do you know so much about us?

I know you, Caitlin. Cisco. Joe. Wally. The fake Wells. I know your fears, I know your weaknesses, I know you better than you know yourselves. I know your destinies. One shall betray you. One shall fall. One will suffer a fate far worse than death. This is the knowledge I have for you. About your everlasting damnation.

What you saw was one possibility of the future. What may be, or what may not.

Barry

Okay, then I can stop this from happening. I can run back there --

You can't go back there! Not again. Not ever.

Barry

All right, then I'll figure out exactly how it happened, how we wind up on that street, and I'll just make sure that we don't go there. I mean, if we don't go there...

Barry! This is why speedsters don't travel to the future. Nobody should know this much about their own. Just as there are infinite Earths in the multiverse, there are infinite possibilities to the future. It's always bending, always changing. Every decision you make creates another alternative.

Barry

I won't let Iris die.

The future isn't written yet. And it might not even turn out to be what you saw. You need to focus on the here and now. You have to live your life.

[Barry has brought Iris to a new, empty apartment.]

I... I don't understand. Where are we?

Barry

Home.

What?

Barry

I couldn't sleep on Cisco's couch anymore, and your place is... sorta small for two. So I signed a lease and I put both of our names on it.

I got you a wallet.

Barry

I'm sure I'll love it.

Barry, this is a big step.

Barry

Not for me. [gives her a key and embraces her] I don't know what's gonna happen in the future. All I know is, right here, right now, I want to spend every moment I can with you. You're the first thing I want to see when I wake up, and the last thing I --

[Iris kisses Barry.]

I love you, Barry Allen.

Barry

I love you, Iris West.

Okay, well, remember, the best way to teach somebody something is to throw 'em in the deep end. That's how I taught you how to swim.

Barry

That was... I'm sill mad about that.

You can swim now, can't you?

Barry

...Yeah.

Barry

Did you ask Julian to join Team... Star Labs?

I know, he's an acquired taste, but–

Yeah, well he is Doctor Alchemy, the big bad's little bad.

Yeah, he gave Wally his powers.

That I don't mind.

Guys, I need his help. I'm sorry Cisco, but these cuffs, they aren't cutting it. Every night when I go to bed, I'm afraid that I'll wake up... be her. Maybe Julian can think of something that we haven't. [pause] Barry, when your mom was murdered, Joe and Iris, they took you in. Cisco, when Dante died, I slept on your couch to keep you company. The things we see, the things that we face, no one can do this alone. Trying is the biggest mistake that you can make.

Barry

Wally. What was that? I mean, you're supposed to be shadowing me.

Wh-wait, you're mad at me? I thought...

Barry

Observe and learn. That's it.
