Cecile quotes from The Flash

Joe

Look, I am going to wait for you at the end of the marathon.

No, you're not pulling out of this thing.

Joe

I am not as easy with running as some of the members of my family. [kisses Cecile]

Cecile

I'm gonna let it slide. I'm gonna let it.

Joe

Yeah? [playfully] Oh, you gettin' mad?

Cecile

Mm-mmm. I will never get mad. I love you too much to be mad.

Cecile

Babe, do you really need... all the smelly old records in there?

Iris

Oh, Cecile.

Joe

Records? You mean my vintage jazz LP collection, that I painstakingly and carefully collected over the last thirty years?

Cecile

[to Iris] Really?

Joe

Those are my loves, babe. They're going in the coffin with me when I die.

Cecile

Okay, maybe we could bury them now, and you can just join them at a later date.

Joe

Oh, you got jokes. You're lucky I only gave you the key, 'cause I'm starting to re-think this whole move-in thing.

Cecile

No, you're not.

Joe

[smiling] No, I'm not. [They laugh and kiss.]

Cecile

Your Honor, the city has had reports in the past of people who have appeared dead only to later emerge very much alive.

That's impossible!

Cecile

Impossible. Your Honor, is it as impossible as a man who can run faster than the speed of sound? I submit that Central City is home to the impossible.

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?

Cecile

Harry, I know this is hard.

Harry

[scoffs] Well... it is hard... D.A. Cecile Horton, because my brain, the one thing that has defined me for, well, pretty much my entire life, is about to [snaps his fingers] ... vanish, and then what'll I be?

Cecile

You'll be the exact same man you've always been.

Harry

Yeah, but dumb. Same man. Waaaay less intelligent.

Cecile

Harry, there are lots of ways to be intelligent. [taps her chest] Not just using your head.

Cecile

All right, I'll make you a deal. For every chore you do, I'll tell you one thing Papa Joe told me about your father that didn't make it into the precious Flash Museum.

Nora

Mama Cecile, the museum has a complete record of all of Dad's accomplishments.

Cecile

Including the time when Barry ends up in an alternate past filled with golden giants called Grodans?

Nora

Wait, what?

Cecile

Grodans.

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.

Cecile

Hey, we're almost through this. We're gonna get all of these people to safety.

Barry

Even if we do, Cicada's not gonna stop killing. Not until–

Cecile

[getting an empathic feeling from Barry] –until he's... dead.

Barry

... I didn't say that.

Cecile

You didn't have to. The anger that I feel from you says it all.

Barry

How am I supposed to feel?! He almost killed Nora.

Cecile

Barry, I understand. I do. That man hurt your child. But this anger that you're feeling, I have felt it before. From Cicada. Honey, if you let it, this rage will consume you, the same way it's already consumed him.

Care to tell me why you decided to aid and abet a murderer?

No, thats... you don't know what you're talking about.

Cecile

Really? A woman used metahuman tech to take control of your mind. She made you do things you were certain you would never do. And that frightened you, didn't it? It frightened you and it made you angry. And you went ahead and you embraced that anger and you let it drive your every move. Betrayal, revenge. [gets an empathic feeling] Escape.

[tries to escape and is captured by the other officers] Look, [enraged] The metas in this city have no respect for human life. They don't deserve to breathe our air.

You swore an oath to protect the citizens of this city. Every one of them! Get him out of my sight. [other officers take Jones away]

Barry

Hey, by the way, this might not be our only lead. Do you remember that time-sphere that we built for Thawne?

Joe

That big hamster ball thing?

Nora

Someone stole one in the future to come here.

Cecile

Like our... our Cicada copycat?

Joe

Makes sense. I can't even believe I just said that.

Cecile

The one person in the world she thought she could trust died in her arms.

Caitlin

Nora must have felt completely alone.

Barry

But she wasn't.

Iris

Yes. she was. Because I wasn't honest with her.

Barry

Iris–

Iris

After all I did, she gave me a second chance. It's the least we can do for her.

Cecile

You know this kid. You know her rap sheet. It's petty crimes, robberies. It's not double homicide. That doesn't even add up.

Joe

I haven't known this woman in a long time, and the evidence adds up. We need to recognize that, unlike facts, feelings can be falliable.

Cecile

Except when it's your gut.

Joe

I've never said that.

Cecile

You didn't have to. That is a scared kid, with no one to stand up for her. The public defender's office is overworked and underpaid. Joe, I'm the only one who can prove her innocence.

Joe

Your job is to prosecute the cases that we bring to you, using the evidence. I mean, it's like you... it's like you don't even wanna be the D.A.

Cecile

Are you telling me I have to choose between using my powers and doing my job?

Joe

That is not what I just said.

Cecile

No. It's what you're feeling.
