Harry Wells quotes from The Flash

H.R.

[about the way Harry brushes his teeth] O-ooh. You go front-to-back. Toothbrush. You go front-to-back? 'Cause I'm a small-circles kinda guy. Wonder how the other Wells brushes his teeth.

Harry

The murderer?

H.R.

I'm fascinated by the subtle differences between us, you know?

Harry

And the not-so-subtle ones.

H.R.

Like what?

Harry

Like the fact that I'm a genius, and you're a moron. [spits his toothpaste into H.R.'s coffee mug, then leaves]

H.R.

[still in good humor] Okay. See you at the party.

Barry

No matter what I do to stop Grodd, he just keeps finding new ways to attack, new ways to destroy, and I... Iris doesn't think I should, but the only way this ends is if I kill him.

Harry

"Kill him". That might be the most idiotic thing I've ever heard you say.

Barry

Wait, what?

Harry

Iris is right. You don't want to listen, go ahead, keep being an idiot.

Barry

I don't understand.

Harry

Don't. Kill. Grodd.

Barry

Harry, you of all people should understand. You would've killed to save Jesse. You were gonna kill Zoom.

Harry

Barry, there's a thousand things I've done... that I'm not proud of. Some of them recently. Every time I do one of those things, it makes it easier to do it the next time. I look at you, out there battling the darkness with honor and hope, and I'm reminded that there's always another way. Always. Killing Grodd is not your answer. Saving one life doesn't justify taking another. Find the other way.

Caitlin

What just happened?

Cisco

The hydrogen-electron collision released a charge that temporarily negated Hazard's quantum field. We did it. [to Harry] You did it. How did you know to do that?

Harry

Lucky guess.

Barry

Are you sure we can't find this "DeVoe" guy? I mean, we were warned. It adds up. That someday, someone named DeVoe would be one of my greatest foes.

Cisco

The only thing to think about is, do you know how many people there are, in this state alone, with the name "DeVoe"?

Barry

No.

Harry

Thousands. And we still don't have an age.

Cisco

Unless one of your greatest foes is the three-month-old William DeVoe who lives four blocks from here.

Barry

I don't think one of my greatest enemies is a baby.

Harry

Ehhh-

Cisco

Evil killer baby.

Harry

Could happen.

Barry

You're right.

Harry

Like I said, we need more help. Maybe I should call my friends.

Barry

Your what?

Harry

My friends.

Barry

[to Caitlin] Is he saying "friends"?

Caitlin

I think he's being sarcastic.

Cisco

No, no, no. This is delirium. He's cracked from being awake all night. Hey, Harry! All your friends are in this room!

Harry

I have other friends. You asked me to make new friends, I made new friends. It was a task. I complete tasks.

Caitlin

That's so great. I can't wait to meet them.

Cisco

Harry, you listened to me. I'm so proud of you.

Cisco

Hey, buddy. You planning on bringing the band back together, or should I clear out the Speed Lab?

Harry

Broom it. We don't need that Council of Incompetents.

Cisco

Ah! Is that what we're calling them now? 'Cause I distinctly remember you saying they were the brightest minds in all the Multiverse.

Harry

And the most annoying. I thought that if I surrounded myself with people like me, I would like them. I don't like them. I hate them. I hate them all.

Cisco

Hmm. Strong words.

Harry

You saw them, Ramon, right? That "Volfgang Vells"? He's always correcting people. An extremely annoying habit. That other guy? The "Free Willy" Wells? He's so full of himself. And the cyborg Wells? You know how he lost his eye? His daughter gouged it out in the Solstice Combat games. I don't blame her. I'd've done the same. I'd like to gouge out the other eye.

Cisco

Harry.

Harry

What?

Cisco

You know you're essentially complaining about yourself, right?

Harry

[sighs] Ramon. Do your best to pay attention in conversation. I'm not complaining about myself. I'm complaining about them. Yes, we're doppelgangers. We look alike, we have completely different personalities.

Cisco

So, you don't think you can be quick to correct people? You don't think you can be full of yourself?

Harry

Full of myself? No, I'm amazing! I'm fantastic. I'm talking about them. I don't like them. I hate them. I hate them all.

Harry

You're the team leader. Team leader's supposed to make the tough call.

Iris

I made a call. I said we would look for both of them (Barry and Caitlin).

Harry

No. Looking for both of them is not a choice. We're overtaxing our resources, our people, because you won't face the hard truth. And the hard truth is, we can't look for both. We can only look for one.

Iris

Harry, I just made a vow to love and protect Barry. To stand by him through thick and thin. And now you're asking me to choose between my husband's life and me friend's? [Harry nods] I can't. I, I can't do that–

Harry

You have to. Or you risk losing them both. You have to choose.

Cisco

Damn. We need to cool him (Fallout) down. [off Harry's look] Killer Frost.

Caitlin

Great.

Cisco

Well? Go! Turn!

Caitlin

Well... that's not how it works. I can't just snap my fingers and make her appear. It only happens when I'm scared or angry.

Good Lord, Caitlin!

Cisco

This city's about to explode! Everyone, everything you know and love! The birds, the trees, the fish! The puppies! Puppies are going down 'cause you didn't want to--

show up for WORK!!

Caitlin

[eyes glowing] Thanks.

Cisco

Hey, how 'bout you hooking me up with some of that gum?

Harry

Why don't you go breach yourself?

Cisco

Sounds like an insult.

Harry

Kinda was.

Harry

Oh. We're gonna need the Ice Queen.

Caitlin

Oh, that's not how it works. I can't just --

[shouting] Leslie Laroche !!

Cisco

[to Iris] It's a childhood bully. There's a lot of repressed anger in there. [shouts to Caitlin] Let's GOOO !!

Ralph

"The Elongated Man"? That's just an expression.

Harry

Has a certain...

Cisco

I dunno.

Harry

... je ne sais quoi to it.

Caitlin

I like it, too.

Ralph

Well, I hate it.

Cisco

Eh, maybe you should have let me do the naming.

Harry

Ex-actly.

Ralph

Oh, don't worry. You'll get your chance. There's no way this is gonna stick.

[as Caitlin nods] Probably gonna stick.

Joe

This is...

Harry

... ridiculous.

Caitlin

You okay, guys?

Cisco

[high-pitched voice] "Are we doing okay?" "Are we doing okay?" Does it look like we're doing okay? We're two inches tall, Caitlin!

Ralph

[high-pitched voice] Yeah, I'm, like, Cisco-sized now. Is that how you always see the world?

Cisco

Oh, that's really funny, man. I guess your body's just finally shrunk down to a size that's proportional to your brain!

Harry

Look, I'm sorry about... [gently pantomimes his earlier outburst]. You know, I just... I can't seem to stop DeVoe, can't stop my daughter Jesse from hating me, can't seem to stop blowing it when I try to befriend someone who's my own age.

Cecile

Did you just say "befriend"? That's what you've been trying to do? You've been trying to... "befriend" me?

Harry

Well, yes, through transitive property. I respect West, West respects you, so....

Cecile

Harry, that was... borderline sweet.

Harry

Thank you?

Barry

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.

Harry

Listen, Ramon, DeVoe wants these bodies. Maybe we change the bodies, we keep these people safe.

Cisco

I'm sorry, don't you have, like, six PhDs?!

Harry

Seven!

Cisco

Yeah. Which one of them is in "Mad Science"?!

Harry

"Mad Science" is just an area of study. It's not a degree.
