Barry Allen quotes from The Flash

Barry

I can save mom.

Henry

At what cost? You said time won't change. What if it changes you?

Barry

I don't care.

Henry

I do. I am in awe of the remarkable person that you are becoming. All the things you achieved and not just as the Flash, but you, Barry. Your honesty, your heart. You're always a hero, and your mom would be just as proud. And if she had a say in this, if she thought for one second that you going back to save her would mean losing what makes you so special, she would never want that! [Barry sobs] Barry, what I hope for you, maybe the greatest thing that a father can hope for his son is that one day you will have a son yourself and then you will know how much I truly love you.

Joe

Barry, you get the chance to grow up with both parents. You don't have to grow up without a mother.

Barry

What about growing up with a father?

Joe

You will have a father - your real father. Wells has messed with our lives long enough. This is why you became The Flash, Barry. To put things right. You saved a lot of people's lives this past year. Now it's time to save yours.

Stein

The calculations. There is a danger.

Barry

I know. I'm ready to take the risk.

Stein

No, not just you, but to everyone. Wells didn't tell us everyone. Barry, even if you do reach the right speed, colliding with the hydrogen particle, there is a chance that explosion could create a singularity.

Caitlin

What's a singularity?

Cisco

A black hole.

Barry

We could destroy Central City.

Stein

For starters. If we create a singularity here and then cannot control it, we could be looking at a global catastrophe.

Cisco

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Barry

I was born with one father, but that tragedy gave me two and I don't think I can lose you.

Joe

You'll never lose me. You hear me? Never.

Henry

Do you think... can you be all that you are becoming with me here?

Barry

You're the only family I have left.

Henry

Well, that's not really true. Don't you have another family in this room? They need your help, too, Barry. When you need me, I will be here. But right now Central City doesn't need you to be Henry Allen's son, it needs you to be The Flash. My Kid, the superhero. I have to go. I need you to tell me that it's OK.

Barry

How's it going with Joe? Any closer to cracking his "No" code?

Are you kidding me? He's like the permission sphinx. Or like a magic 8-ball with just one answer. Or like, you know, the bridge-keeper protecting the Holy Grail...

Barry

[mimicking the gatekeeper from the movie] What is your quest?

[mimicking Sir Lancelot] Oh, to join your task force.

Barry

No.

Aaaaaah!

Jay

So, I hear they call you the Scarlet Speedster.

Barry

Yeah. What about you?

Jay

Crimson Comet. What is it with alliteration and nicknames?

Barry

Lisa was safe. Why did you do that?

He broke my sister's heart. Only fair I break his.

Barry

Today just proved what I've always known. There's good in you, Snart. You know you don't have to admit it to me. But there's a part of you that knows you don't have to let your past define you. A part of you that really wants to be more than just a criminal.

So, I should be a hero like you, Barry? What exactly does that pay again?

Barry

It's just a matter of time. Something you'll have a lot of in here.

Not as much as you think. Be seeing you.

Joe

How is he still alive? How are you still alive?

Wells

I don't know, because you missed?

Barry

Hey, I'm trying to keep him from shooting you. You're not helping.

Barry

We do what Dr. Wells said. We use her to lure Zoom here, end this once and for all.

Jay

You can't be serious.

Barry

More breachers are gonna come. More innocent people may die. I can't let this happen anymore.

Jay

You're making a mistake. Okay, Zoom is a nightmare you can't wake up from.

Barry

I've already had my worst nightmare. His name was Reverse-Flash, and I spent a long time being afraid of him. I'm not gonna be afraid anymore.

Barry

Aren't you the one who told me life isn't about playing defense, sometimes the only way to succeed is by working the offense?

Joe

I think at the time we were talking about your high school football tryouts.

Barry

You said you'd never bring that up again.

Barry

What do you want from me?

Zoom

Everything.

Barry

You want to beat me? Is that it? You want to be a hero?

Zoom

Heroes die.

Barry

Only if you can catch them.

Joe

Yeah, well, we need to do something about Grodd.

Caitlin

Like what?

Joe

Like get rid of him for good.

Caitlin

You want to kill him?

Joe

Considering how many people he's killed, yeah.

Caitlin

This isn't Grodd's fault. He's only like this because Wells made him this way.

Barry

Yes, but, Catlin, he kidnapped you and you could have died.

Caitlin

You didn't see what I saw. Grodd's getting smarter. He's lonely and sad. He wants more apes like him.

Cisco

What are you saying? He wants kids? 'Cause I'm pretty sure one telepathic Grape Ape is more than enough for this city.

Barry

Wow. Nice new digs. Also, I just noticed, no sleeves. Don't you get... cold?

Oliver

I spent the better part of five years on an island in the North China Sea. I don't get cold, Barry.

Felicity

Barry. So good to see you.

Barry

Felicity. [they hug] Oh. Good to see you, Felicity.

Felicity

[slugs Barry] How come you didn't tell me Zoom broke your back? [hugs Barry] Oh. I'm so glad you're okay.

Barry

So this is what it's like dating her?

Oliver

More bruises from her than from Deathstroke.

Okay. S.T.A.R. Labs is impressive, but this is...

Cisco

This is completely wrong!

Felicity

Hmm?

Cisco

Did you guys even look at the specs I sent over? This is a tragedy. I'm mourning for the death of engineering. Copper. Wiring. To handle the processing speed from the Palmer satellite, or else your system is gonna overload.

Felicity

Yeah, but that hasn't happened. I mean, it hasn't happened since last week. I mean, it didn't... it happened yesterday.
