Barry Allen quotes from The Flash

Barry

All right, let's just go over the plan one more time, okay? I'm going to be running ahead of the truck, scouting the route for any signs of trouble.

Iris

Right. I will be at S.T.A.R. Labs tracking any pocket dimension en route.

Caitlin

And I'll be in the truck with Neil monitoring his vitals en route.

Leo

With me at the ready, in case our meta-of-mass-destruction here goes all mushroom cloud. No offense.

Joe

And I'll be driving. And reciting every prayer that Cecile's ever taught me.

Iris

I might join you.

Caitlin

We're gonna miss you, Leo.

Leo

I'll miss you, too, Caitlin. You're quite the badass, you know? Enough to make your alter ego proud.

Caitlin

Thank you.

Leo

Detective West, I know my Earth-1 counterpart gave you a lot of headaches. Hopefully, I've begun to make up for that.

Joe

Man, you prevented a nuke from leveling this city. [shakes Leo's hand] We're good.

Leo

Cisco. I'm really gonna miss that hair.

Cisco

[laughs nervously and touches his hair] Okay.

Leo

Iris West-Allen. Thank you for helping me take down Nazi scum. Again.

Iris

You're welcome. Again.

Leo

And then there was one. I can see why the other Snart turned over a new leaf and joined the good guys. You treat everyone around you with kindness and respect. Just remember to do the same for yourself. Every once in a while.

Barry

Thanks for helping me push through.

Leo

Any time, Barry. [embraces Barry]

Cisco

Okay. So, where shall we start? I'm thinking, if we can gain acc– [Barry races around the rooms at super-speed, accessing and reading the computer files.] –ess to their files...

Barry

Alloy 1771? I mean, that's the only item missing from the inventory files.

Cisco

Or I can just... stand here and look pretty.

Caitlin

We've been attacking this from the wrong direction. We know we need a tech-free projectile to stop DeVoe's satellites. We've been looking for an object, when what we really need is a person: Amunet.

Joe

Amunet Black?

Caitlin

I know she's not the ideal choice. But Amunet's psychic-powered Alico shards are not only deadly powerful, they're completely immune to DeVoe's Kilgore powers.

Barry

Not ideal? I mean, she kidnapped you. She tried to sell me into meta-slavery.

Iris

And she ruined my bachelorette party.

Iris

Yeah, looks like there were thirty-five flights in the air in Central City the night of the particle accelerator explosion.

Joe

Cisco, can you access the flight manifests?

Cisco

Yes, I can. And I can take the crews' credentials–

Barry

Cross-reference them into facial recognition?

Cisco

Can you not read my mind? [Barry stammers an apology.]

Amunet

Oh, goody. A group foray. Dibs on cashing in Norvock's chips.

Iris

Oh, no no no no no no no. No killing.

Amunet

That was not a stipulation when I agreed to join this crew.

Barry

Okay. Amunet, look, I know how you usually work, but I can handle this fast. And without any casualties.

Amunet

[deep breath mugging].... Okay. It is a bit time-consuming to remove blood from metal. [chuckles]

Harry

Well, actually, thanks to Ramon and the Council of Harrisons, I may have an idea about why DeVoe has not yet launched his satellites.

Cisco

He put himself in DeVoe's shoes.

Harry

And I thought, well, if I was this ultra-genius moving around in a floating chair, how would I feel?

Joe

You'd feel nothing. You'd be sociopathic.

Harry

Right. But to me, I wouldn't consider myself sociopathic [goes to the whiteboard] when all my actions would be driven by the one thing that I care most about, right? [draws a smiley face added to a sad face]

Barry

So if you're not acting–

Harry

If I'm not acting, then I don't have the one thing that I care most about. [draws a neutral face] My wife.

Barry

I'm still not fast enough to make it through DeVoe's pocket dimension.

Cisco

That's why we split up. Yeah, each one of us stakes out a different launch pad.

Barry

You're serious. I mean, you've seen DeVoe in action.

Cisco

Yeah. The guy's a one-man Legion of Doom, so send the Super Friends.

Barry

Once we're inside, we'll have less than a second. I'll activate the plates, draw their charge–

Cisco

I'll lay the breach links–

Caitlin

And I'll protect the A.R.G.U.S. agents from the blast using this... fish shooter.

Cisco

"Ice shooter".

Caitlin

Do I have to call it an "ice shooter"?

Barry

I thought "Frostbite" sounded good.

Cisco

Guys, it solves the friction offset problem by shooting ice. Therefore, it's an ice shooter. You call it an ice shooter.

Barry

Relax.

Cisco

It's not that hard.

DeVoe

"Once upon a time, in some remote corner of that universe, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing".

Barry

You're quoting Nietzsche at me?

DeVoe

You destroyed a satellite. Top marks, Quick Boy. You can destroy a thousand more, and you will still march closer to the Enlightenment.

Barry

I forget what Nietzsche said about wiping minds. I must have skipped philosophy class.

DeVoe

Did I teach you nothing this year? Has nothing pierced your thick cowl? Think of it. Or rather don't. You'll just end up hurting yourself, so let me explain. A world, enlightened. Within a day, all soldiers will lay down their arms. Every nuclear weapon will be disarmed within six months. Poverty. Famine. Disease. Eradicated. We will clean up the streets. People will put down their idiot phones and become curious again, and I will be there to teach them. I, not you, will save this God-forsaken world.

Barry

No, you'll just control it. You want to take away free will.

DeVoe

A pittance for humanity to pay to know peace.

Barry

But we won't know each other. Parents wouldn't remember their kids. Husbands won't remember their wives.

DeVoe

Good. You hit upon precisely the point. Emotion is the father of all error. Chemicals in our brain that distract us, impede progress. And the most destructive and ridiculous imbalance of all is that thing you feebles call love. I learned this from experience, Mr. Allen. And soon... you will too.

Barry

Where did you get this jacket?

Nora West-Allen

Uh... [points to Iris] From her.

Iris

Um... no. Mine... mine is a one-of-a-kind.

Nora

So was this, when you let me borrow it.

Barry

Who are you?

Nora

I'm your daughter Nora, from the future, and I think I made a big, big mistake.

Barry

You know the danger that her being here poses to the timeline.

Iris

Yeah, I do, but I also know you, Barry. Look. You're the guy that went back in time to borrow Snart before he died.

Barry

I know.

Iris

You're also the same guy that traveled to 2020 to figure out who Savitar was, and to 2015 to train with Wells. You changed fate to save my life. So, now that our daughter is here in front of us asking for our help, you expect me to believe that you're worried about the timeline?

Barry

How old were you when it happened?

Nora

I was born, um, a few years before you vanished, but I don't have any memories of you.

Barry

So the wedding was–

Nora

–was pretty much the first time I met you. Can imagine so many different things to say to you. Still can't believe I went with "Remember to say 'I do' ". I guess things don't always go the way you planned them.

Iris

So what?

Barry

Iris.

Iris

So what that that article says you never come back? So what if the other one says you vanished? I mean, it's said other things before, right? We made it say other things before. So, whatever the future brings, we're gonna deal with it when it gets here. And change it if we need to.

Cisco

She has a point. If there's anything Team Flash is good at, it's handing the future its own ass, and then some.

Caitlin

What he said.

Barry

What are you doing?! You can't touch that, you'll contaminate the evidence.

Nora

Sorry, you mean you don't have a scene-wide modified bosonic frequency field to avoid cross-contamination?

Barry

I don't even think we have some of those words yet.

Nora

... Oops.
