Barry Allen quotes from The Flash

Nora

[calling out] I'm sorry I lied to you!

Barry

So am I. [turns and leaves]

Cecile

The one person in the world she thought she could trust died in her arms.

Caitlin

Nora must have felt completely alone.

Barry

But she wasn't.

Iris

Yes. she was. Because I wasn't honest with her.

Barry

Iris–

Iris

After all I did, she gave me a second chance. It's the least we can do for her.

You can't blame the little runner, Barry. She just wanted to spend some time with her Dad. Don't hold that against her. Consider it a condemned man's last request.

Barry

You always thought you were so much smarter than us, Thawne. But you lost. And now you're finally gonna get what you deserve.

Iris

You took our daughter back to the future?

Barry

I didn't have any other choice.

Iris

I? It's "we", Barry. We. She's our daughter, not just yours.

Barry

I know that.

Iris

But you left her there anyway?

Barry

I can't trust her, Iris! That puts all of us in danger.

Iris

That's how you feel, Barry! How about asking how I feel?

Barry

I didn't think I had to!

Iris

Of course you didn't. Of course you didn't, Barry. You always see one way through a problem and damn what I think.

Barry

What the hell does that mean?

Iris

You know, we've been through so much crap, we've been through so much therapy, and you are still, still making decisions based on your emotions.

Barry

Hey, look, I'm sorry about, um,... how I was acting earlier. I just... seeing Nora looking so much like him (Thawne)--

Joe

I get it, Barr. That guy's always gonna be in your head. Mine, too. And you were right. Nora broke the law, and there should be repercussions for that. But whenever you guys step out of bounds, I always have to remind myself... the detective side says "There's the law", but the father side says "There's also what's right". And I'm always gonna choose to be your father first.

Ralph

Nora, where would you find this hyper-conduit in 2049?

Nora

Probably Ollins Laboratory. Ollins won a Nobel Prize for quantum engineering.

Cisco

Ollins? As in Sebastian Ollins?

Nora

Yeah. Do you know him? He is a true genius.

Cisco

[scoffs] A genius, you say. The guy couldn't even stay awake through a single physics lecture. In fact, I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for his very smart, very considerate college roommate lending him notes, helping him study, he wouldn't have made it through his finals! Nobel Prize, my ASS!!

Barry

Yeah, he knows him.

Nora

I can't stand around and do nothing.

Barry

Yes, you can, because that's what we're telling you to do.

Nora

When I first got here, I would rush in to fix things, and by doing that, I always ended up making them worse. But I am not that person anymore. Because of you. You showed me how to use my powers. You taught me how to make the right choices. And right now, I am choosing to face this risk.

Iris

Nora, this is a terrible idea.

Nora

I know you feel that way. But I don't. I'm an adult, capable of making my own decisions. I've made up my mind about this. So I am asking you, please, as my parents, stop trying to keep me away from this danger and start helping me face it.

Barry

[regarding the speedster trap] Man, this thing brings back memories.

Ralph

Good ones? Bad ones?

Barry

Thawne ones. We trapped the Reverse-Flash in this thing before we even knew he was Thawne.

Cisco

Well, we actually ended up trapping his speed mirage, while his real self just sat there chilling in his wheelchair.

Ralph

Man, Thawne's plans got plans.

Barry

What're we gonna do?

Ralph

Breach in, lose our powers from the dagger, stop Cicada from Supergirl-ing away, then regroup for the emotional fallout.

Nora

How do I fix this?

Barry

I don't know if you can, Nora. You made a mistake, you know? A big mistake. Sometimes in life, all we can do is just live with the consequences. So what you have ask yourself is... what kind of hero are you gonna be? One who takes a do-over after every mistake, or one who lives with it and moves forward?

Barry

She (Nora) was my legacy all along. And us, together as a family, that's how I want to be remembered. As a good man. A loving husband. And a supportive father.

Iris

You're already all those things.

Cisco

You're looking at the world's first inverse mass angular momentum disruptor, but we can just call it a stellar grenade.

Barry

Cool. So this will destroy the black hole?

Cisco

As long as it doesn't get much bigger, this will reverse the hole's mass-collecting properties, causing it to... [sucks air] Implode. Just toss it into the event horizon, hasta la lasagna, don't any on you.

Iris

So, what made you believe that you could carry Chester out of that place?

Barry

You made me believe I could do it. I realized we could be each other's support group, even though it's gonna take some time. If we can carry a memory like this together in our hearts, carrying carrying somebody's consciousness out of a black hole? It's a piece of cake. Besides, how else could I get this back for you? [he opens the door to the Time Vault, revealing Nora's XS jacket] I know it's not as good as Nora's video...

Iris

It's better. Now we have something that we can honor Nora with.

Barry

She was pretty schway.

Barry

What do you want?

For your universe to survive.

Iris

The plinth...you destroyed it. You destroyed Nora's message.

An unfortunate side effect. But I needed to discourage you.

Barry

From doing what?

Hoping. Your determination is boundless, Flash. It is one of your greatest qualities, but you cannot avoid the coming crisis.

Iris

Barry has five years before he disappears.

No longer. December 10, 2019. On that day, he will answer the call and make the ultimate sacrifice. Soon, this world will fight for the fate of all the known universes.

Barry

I'm not gonna leave my family. There has to be a way to stop what's coming.

I am sorry. But events have been set into motion that you cannot possibly comprehend.

Barry

I don't need to understand them! Just tell me what I can do.

To survive? You can't. In order for billions to survive this coming crisis, the Flash must die.

Barry

I stared at that newspaper for so many years. First it felt like a guide. You know, like proof that things were headed in the right direction. Then it became a sword hanging over my head. A part of me always felt like... if I vanish in whatever crisis is coming... maybe I was still out there somewhere, looking for a way to come back to you. According to The Monitor, that doesn't happen.

Iris

"To save the lives of billions, The Flash must die." What kind of crap is that? [Barry chuckles] No, I'm serious. I mean, The Monitor shows here up out of nowhere and says you're suppose to die on December 10th? The last I remember, the article said that you were in a fight with Thawne, not some cosmic disaster.

Barry

The article changed.

Iris

If that article can change, then that means we can still change the future.
