Ralph Dibny quotes from The Flash

Iris

Babe, you okay?

Barry

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

Ralph

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

Barry

Ralph...

Iris

[to Caitlin] Anything?

Caitlin

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

Barry

Terrific.

Ralph

Always knew you were a lightweight.

Barry

I swear, Ralph–

Barry

You were great out there tonight, man.

Ralph

Thank you. I had a lot of help. And, I had a great teacher.

Barry

You helped me realize that I can't always take everything so seriously. Even when it comes to Thinker.

Ralph

Wait a second. Are you telling me that I, Ralph Dibny, taught Barry Allen, superhero extraordinaire, a lesson? What could this mean?

Barry

It means you're a great hero. And you make this team better by being on it.

Ralph

[mock deep voice] Ah, the circle is now complete. When I came here, I was but the learner. Now I am the master.

Barry

It's also good to be humble.

Ralph

But how can I be humble [expands his chest with his power] when I am swollen with pride?

Ralph

I've got something! My Big Belly punch-card, only 5 away from a free kid's meal. If I even live long enough to use it.

Barry

Hey, don't even joke like that. We're gonna get DeVoe, throw him in the Pipeline long before he gets to you.

Ralph

Right. That doesn't work, we'll just, uh,... take him out the other way.

Barry

What other way?

Ralph

Ah, we'll put him to bed with a shovel. Give him his harp and wings. Send him to visit Grandma Thinker in the sky.

Barry

[alarmed] Ralph, you think we're gonna kill DeVoe?

Ralph

The way that you're saying that makes me think I'm supposed to say "no".

Barry

I know what killing DeVoe would do to you. You would be throwing away everything you've done to become a better man. To become a hero. You gotta realize that.

Ralph

You... are a moron.

Barry

Ralph–

Ralph

[voice shaking] I'm not afraid of DeVoe or what he might do to me. I am afraid of what he might do to you, and Iris, and Caitlin, and Cisco. Joe, Harry, Cecile. DeVoe has taken out everyone who has gotten in his way. And Team Flash, it will always be in his way.

Barry

[realizing] This was never about protecting yourself.

Ralph

I know that killing DeVoe would mean throwing away everything I've done to become a hero. But aside from my mom, this team is the only family that I have ever had, and I would throw myself into a furnace to keep them safe. DeVoe can not have them. They are mine!

Barry

What about what we want? You may not care about losing who you've become, but we do. We like Hero Ralph. Please don't take him away from us.

Ralph

Heard all the commotion and I thought "If DeVoe was here... where would he be going?"

DeVoe

Hmm. A simple deduction for a simple mind. Though I assure you, you are no threat for an intellect of my magnitude.

Ralph

Please, everyone I fight is smarter than me.

Barry

Ralph! Fight it, all right?! Fight it! I'll save you!

Ralph

You already did, Barry. [dies as DeVoe's mind takes over his body]

Ralph

Now I realize that you're all way ahead of me in this time travel business, but guys, I think I just discovered something. So, if, if Nora can time travel, that means she can create new timelines, right? New timelines means that parallel timelines can exist. So, guys, I think that... a whole other universe could exist. I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but think about it. There could be, ah, an Earth where we're all bad guys, or another Earth where there's no world hunger, or another Earth where... where they never made that last Indiana Jones movie.... Think of the possibilities. It's like some kind of... Manyverse. [looks around at the rest of the team] Aaand everybody knows about the Manyverse.

Iris

Multiverse. And so do you, Ralph.

Caitlin

Breacher, Gypsy, Harry. What did you think we meant when we said that Harry was from Earth-2?

Ralph

That he is from Earth "also". [off everyone's looks] You guys really need to make, like, a "Welcome" pamphlet, or at least a Powerpoint or something. [bangs his head on a whiteboard]

Ralph

Listen, Caitlin, I'm... I'm sorry.

Caitlin

For what?

Ralph

For... all of this. Just, I felt like a complete joke after that hostage thing, and then "Sherloque" shows up and everybody swoons over his so-called master detective-ness. You were nice enough to invite me along, and I pushed you... into that. And... I'm really sorry.

Caitlin

Ralph, this thing you 'pushed' me into gave me something I've never had before.

Ralph

Your first felony?

Caitlin

No, closure. It may not be pretty, but I finally know the truth. And that means everything. So for my buck, you're the best detective a girl could ask for.

Ralph

We find out where this is used, we'e gonna find our man. Elementary.

Sherloque

Elementary?

Ralph

No shrap, Sherlock. [walks off]

Sherloque

[more to himself] It's Sher-loque.

Ralph

Well, listen, Sherlook–

Sherloque

Sher-loque.

Ralph

I, uh, I gotta hand it to you. That's... very impressive.

Sherloque

Quite a breakthrough, aye, Monsieur Dibny? One that I cannot take any credit for. Hmm, all the credit, all the praise, goes to you, Monsieur Dibny. It was your instinct to follow the mask, right? Well, you were right, and I was... less right. I apologize.

Cecile

What the heck happened back there? I froze up.

Ralph

Look, when I got canned from C.C.P.D., I fell in with some... legally questionable individuals. These were some scary, scary people. But, they all had one thing in common. They were all terrified of "Cecile-Your-Fate" Horton. And I don't believe for one second that that woman has gone anywhere.

Ralph

I've seen enough episodes of Sister, Sister to recognize a siblings' spat when I see one.

Caitlin

So, I'm trying to help Cisco with his metahuman cure, but every time I start working on it, Killer Frost takes over and messes with my equations. [points to a whiteboard] Like this. She changed all my heterozygotes into asterisks.

Ralph

Oh. I thought those were just tiny snowflakes. So she's not on board?

Caitlin

No. And I don't know exactly know why.

Ralph

Can't you just ask her?

Caitlin

Oh, I've tried. But every time we start talking about it, she starts singing Barney's "I Love You" song.

Ralph

Ooo, that's cold.

Just like Norvock didn't ask for his snake, Katie didn't ask for me. So, if one day she wakes up scared of being a metahuman and decided to take that cure, her powers don't just disappear, I do too. That's what I'm really afraid of. Because if I'm gone, who's gonna protect her?

Ralph

I get why you're scared, but... you need to know that when DeVoe made you disappear, all Caitlin talked about was getting you back. So maybe, as much as you want to protect her, Caitlin wants to protect you too.

Ralph

One drink? I'm paying.

Cisco

[skeptical] One drink. But only because you never pay for anything, ever, and I'm really curious to see what Hell looks like frozen over.

Barry

So nobody, including us, knows where we are right now.

Ralph

And we are totally powerless.

Barry

Dude, if we make the wrong move in here, these cuffs are gonna be the least of our worries.

Ralph

New game plan. The anti-hero of our dynamic duo will find the field generator. And you're just gonna stay here and try not to look like a cop. Or a superhero.

Barry

Okay.

Ralph

Or really, anything you actually are.
