Iris West quotes from The Flash

[looking up the villain of the week] Sylbert Rundine.

Iris

Why does every villain in this city have a name that sounds like it came out of a comic book?

Question for the room: How did I get stuck doing the buddy system thing with Ralph?

Iris

[whispering] It's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.

[low voice] Yeah. It's the best way to keep Ralph safe, Cisco.

Well, clearly you've never had to stay over in an apartment that uses neon beer signs for lamps and the kitchen sink for a shower. Ralph, I love you, but you sleep on a futon.

A futon's not that bad.

It is when it's damp!!

Iris

Why is it damp?

I sweat a lot when I sleep.

Iris

You're nasty

Iris, you weren't at Iron Heights. I saw up close what DeVoe did. To Becky. To all of them. And I couldn't do anything except... just stand and watch it happen. DeVoe is ruthless. He's not gonna stop until he's taken her powers and her life. He's not gonna go easy on her, so neither can I.

Iris

I am so sorry that you had to experience that. But Barry, we can't be ruthless like DeVoe. He's willing to sacrifice anyone and anything. Just remember that the next time you're pushing too hard, okay? You of all people know that heroes aren't made overnight.

How is it we live together, work together, sleep in the same bed together, but it still feels like we don't spend any real time as husband and wife?

Harry

[over the intercom] Allen. West-Allen. Cortex. Now!

Iris

I have no idea.

View quote →

[feeling down] I lost my speed. I lost my job at the C.C.P.D. It just feels like DeVoe is... slowly taking everything away from me.

Iris

[embracing Barry] He hasn't taken everything away.

What if I never get it back?

Iris

Hey. Caitlin is gonna find something. Okay? Until then, you just have to... watch me like I've watched you these last three years.

Yeah, I guess so. [The alarm goes off, and Iris races away at super-speed, leaving Barry alone taken aback.] Wow, that's... super annoying.

View quote →

You know, you didn't have to give up your speed, right? I mean, I would've never asked you to.

Iris

I know.

Why'd you do it?

Iris

.... Do you know what makes a great speedster? [Barry shakes his head] It isn't their speed. It's being the light that everyone needs when the world grows dark. It's the kind of person they are. The kind of person that always wants to help. That's why being the Flash is your destiny. It's your way of helping others. But it isn't mine. [shows Barry her new "Saved by the Flash" blog] This is.

[Barry is floating helplessly inside the Cortex room due to Null's gravity-manipulation power.]

Iris

Babe, you okay?

I just wanna get down from here as soon as possible.

Maybe you should try to burp yourself down like Charlie Bucket.

Ralph...

Iris

[to Caitlin] Anything?

Well, as best I can tell, Null's powers affect the density of his cells. It's like you've been filled with helium.

Terrific.

Always knew you were a lightweight.

I swear, Ralph–

LSLeo Snart of Earth-X

All right. You get me for twenty-four hours. Not a minute more.

Wait. Why not?

Because I thought I'd make Ray an honest man. [indicates his ring finger] Tomorrow.

[Each member of Team Flash offers Leo congratulations.]

[puts his hands on Barry and Cisco's shoulders] I figured if you two could make it, so could we.

BCBarry and Cisco

What?

Iris

[points to her and Barry] No, we–

I tease.

[Team Flash prepares to transport Neil Borman.]

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.

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

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

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

Iris

I might join you.

View quote →

We're gonna miss you, Leo.

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

Thank you.

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

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

Cisco. I'm really gonna miss that hair.

[laughs nervously and touches his hair] Okay.

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

Iris

You're welcome. Again.

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.

Thanks for helping me push through.

Any time, Barry. [embraces Barry]

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.

Amunet Black?

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.

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

Iris

And she ruined my bachelorette party.

View quote →

[Team Flash is trying lo locate Amunet using her past as a flight attendant.]

Iris

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

Cisco, can you access the flight manifests?

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

Cross-reference them into facial recognition?

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.

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]

Iris

Your husband has gone too far, and I think you know it, or you'd be with him right now.

Marlize

Yes, I left my husband. But that doesn't change the fact that he's right. If anything, his betrayal proves his very point. Man corrupts even the best of ideas.

Iris

"Pessimism isn't smarter than optimism. In this life, the bravest thing you can be is optimistic."

Marlize

Familiar words.

Iris

You said them when you were at Oxford. Two weeks before you met Clifford DeVoe.

Marlize

I gave a speech. On technology and the elimination of world hunger. I truly believed it could be done.

Iris

He tried to change you, Marlize. But I think, deep down, you are still an optimist. You still believe in humanity. And I believe in you. You asked me what I was willing to do for my husband. And now I'm gonna ask you... What are you willing to do for the world?

View quote →

We should be able to have our baby just like any other parent. In a hospital on a regular bed, not with... all this. [to Marlize] Hey, look what you've done. To our friend. My son. My daughter. The love of my life. Everybody in this damn city!

Iris

Dad!

How could you ever think that this would be better for humanity?!

Iris

Dad! What did you say to me when Barry came out of the Speed Force? You said "Strength without faith means nothing." We need to have faith that we can get through this. [looks at Marlize] Together.
