Wells quotes from The Flash

Wells

You can do this, Barry. You were right. I am responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw was a potential victim of my hubris. And yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry, you can stop it. You can do this. Now, run, Barry, run!

Wells

Subject has made a great leap forward, causing me to revise my initial thesis. I thought...I thought his attachment to people was a distraction, now I realize the opposite is true. Barry's attachment to people, the people he cares about, is actually key to getting him up to speed.

Wells

Listen to me, Barry. Breathe. Breathe. Feel the air. Feel that wind on your face. Feel the ground, your feet lifting you up, pushing you forward, and the lightning - Barry, feel the lightning. Feel its power. It's electricity pumping through your veins, crackling through you, traveling to every nerve in your body, like a shock. You're no longer you now. You're part of something greater. You're a part of a speed-force. It's yours. Now do it.

Wells

I want you to take a moment and think about all the things that define your life. All the people you love. Your job. Your co-workers. Your home. And now imagine if one day in a flash all of that vanished. Do you simply accept your new life, continue on or would you do whatever it takes to get back what was taken from you?

Barry

I wasn't the only one affected by the particle accelerator, was I?

Dr. Harrison Wells

We don't know for sure.

Barry

You said the city was safe. That there was no residual danger. But that's not true. So what really happened that night?

Well, the accelerator went active. We all felt like heroes and then... it all went wrong. A dimensional barrier ruptured unleashing unknown energies into our world. Anti-matter dark energy. X-elements.

Barry

Those are all theoretical.

And how theoretical are you?

Wells. Who the hell let you in here?

Wells

You been having a party out there?

Well, I'm sure you saw on TV. Former employee of mine tried to kill me.

Wells

Former employee with the ability to replicate... faced off against a man who could move at super speed.

You've seen him too, haven't you?

Wells

Indeed I have.

Extraordinary. The power he possesses, it's like... it's like the gods of olds! Like Mercury on Earth! Could you imagine if you could control his power, if you could... if you could harness it, you could change what it means to be human. The man in the red mask is the key, and I'm gonna get him.

Wells

[takes off his glasses] The man in the red mask. He's called the Flash... or at least he will be one day. [stands up from his wheelchair]

What the hell...?

Wells

Forgive me, Simon. I worry that you will think this is personal, and it's not. It's just that the man in the red mask, the fastest man alive... he must be kept...

Wells

... safe.

Barry

Don't ask.

Cisco

I'm gonna ask. Where's my suit?

Barry

It's... gone.

Cisco

What do you mean, it's gone? What did you do with my suit?

Barry

It blew up, dude. I managed to get out of it before it went "kaboom."

Cisco

My suit went "kaboom"?

Barry

Fun fact about Bette Sans Souci. She's not carrying bombs. She touched the emblem on the suit and turned it into a bomb. She's a meta-human.

Wells

With the ability to cause spontaneous combustion upon tactile contact.

Cisco

She blew up my suit.

Caitlin

You have, like, three more.

Cisco

Okay, I have two. And I loved that one.

Wells

What exactly are we debating?

Cisco

The average number of bugs Barry swallows in a day of running.

Wells

I look forward to seeing you accept your Nobel.

Barry

So why do you do what you do? Why get up in the morning?

Wells

Because I believe in a better future. One that I very much want to see. One that you are a part of. I might not very much care for people, Barry, but I care for you.

Wells

Very impressive, Mr. Allen. Your reaction to stimuli at super speed continues to improve.

Barry

It's still not enough.

Wells

It will be. You keep working like you are, you stay focused like you are, and you will be ready the next time the man in the yellow suit comes around.

Cisco

I think you mean the Reverse-Flash. What? He said it, not me. And he's right. Yellow suit, red lighting, and evil - the reverse of Barry.

Caitlin

Meh.

Wells

Actually, I kind of like it.

Wells

So potentially, these two guns could cancel each other out.

Cisco

Yeah, but to do that, you'd have to make them cross streams.

Barry

You mean like Ghostbusters?

Cisco

That film is surprisingly scientifically accurate.

Wells

And really quite funny.

Barry

Who is Hartley Rathaway?

Wells

Hartley Rathaway is the prodigal son. And he has returned.

Wells

Hartley, allow me to introduce to you to Cisco Ramon. Mr. Ramon is one of the finest mechanical engineers I have ever seen.

Cisco

Wow. I can't believe Harrison Wells said that about me.

Wells

I'm sure he'll prove to be an invaluable member of your team. Trust me.

Hartley

You I trust. I don't foresee myself trusting someone who showed up his first day of work at a billion dollar research facility wearing a t-shirt that says "Keep Calm and Han Shot First".

Wells

You need to hurry, Barry's wounds are starting to heal with the fragments still under his skin.

Cisco

This is just like the time I stepped on a sea urchin. Only much worse.

Barry

Just don't pee on me.

Cisco

Uh, you know that's a myth, right?

Harrison... You're one of them. A meta-human.

Wells

Yes, I am. And I protect my own.

What was that?

Wells

Now, that... is an old friend of ours.

General...

That... voice... It's in my head. Dear God.

Not God. Grodd. [attacks Eiling]
