Dr. Ramsey Rosso quotes from The Flash

Dr. Ramsey Rosso

My name is Ramsey Rosso, and my mother, Dr. Rachel Rosso, was everything to me. When I was seven, I skidded out pretty badly on a bike she bought me for my birthday. Imagine a scared kid with two scraped knees and a bloody nose. When mum found me, she picked me right up, she brushed me off, and told me to get back on my bike and ride. I tried, but I couldn't. It was almost like I was paralyzed, it hurt so bad. That's when she told me that I would heal. That I must never let a little pain stop me from getting to where I needed to go in life, and she was right. I did heal. Enough to grow up and follow in her footsteps. And even though a beautiful life was cut short when she lost her battle to heal herself, she is still helping me to get to where I need to go today. And for that, I will always be grateful.

Ramsey

I am the world's salvation. Come to save it from all that ails it. Soon, the entire world will embrace... Bloodwork.

Ramsey

Cait? You're Killer Frost?

Actually, she's me, Sad Coffee Guy.

Barry

I had a feeling about you. I hoped I was wrong. But I know a desperate man when I see one. Put them back.

Ramsey

No.

Barry

I can make you.

Ramsey

Go on, then. Like you said, I'm a desperate man. I have nothing to lose.

Barry

I thought you wanted to save lives.

Ramsey

HLH isn't just my mother's disease. First it killed her, and now it's killing me.

Barry

I still can't let you take those. Look at what it did to Mitch Romero.

Ramsey

I am marking my calendar to every day until I die, waiting to fall off a cliff, powerless to grab onto anything or anyone. I watched my mother dived off that same cliff... with a smile on her face. She didn't even fight.

Barry

I know what's like to lose your mother. I know you're angry.

Ramsey

This isn't anger. This is the pain beneath my anger. It takes courage to fight death.

Barry

Maybe it takes more to accept it.

Ramsey

My mum had the same look on her face when she was first diagnosed. You're a dead man, too. Aren't you, Barry? So why don't you fight for yourself?

Barry

I'm marking my calendar with the days I have left to live. I'm gonna spend them saving as many people I can.

Ramsey

You're not a coward. You're just naive.

Ramsey

So that's it. You're just deciding to give up and die.

No one lives forever.

Ramsey

No. I won't give up. That's your choice.

Ramsey. I'm not your enemy.

Ramsey

I know. The real enemy... is death.

Ramsey

Hello, Cait. Playing the hero now, are you?

The bad guy was taken, so yeah.

The Flash

Everyone dies, Ramsey. Maybe the only thing that makes it bearable is to find some meaning in it.

Ramsey

Well, that means I'm making the greatest sacrifice of all. Don't you see? What I'm becoming, this is the cure. I am the answer, Flash, to the greatest mystery of all. Life eternal.

Ramsey

That was quite the tumble. I guess you're wondering why I'm doing this to you.

Ralph

You're evil. I get it.

Speed Force

Please understand. The role you play is vital to all things.

Barry

Oh, stop.

Speed Force

There are universal forces at stake. They must be protected.

Barry

What about the rest of us?

Ramsey

She's right. There are universal forces at stake. It's just a pity she doesn't consider your life among them.

Speed Force

Don't listen to him. He wants to possess your form no matter the cost.

Barry

Cost? All those headstones? Those people are dead because of my connection to you. How many times do I have to suffer for you? When is it your turn to suffer? Do you even feel pain?

Speed Force

No, at least not as you know it.

Ramsey

How could it? The Speed Force isn't human. It doesn't even know what it means to be alive, to have a family to love. It only pretends.

Speed Force

Ramsey's infection is twisting your heart. You have to fight it. Barry. These aren't your true feelings.

Barry

What do you know about the truth? This isn't what you look like. This isn't my old bedroom. It's a trick. This is you manipulating me so I'll do what you want.

Speed Force

That's not true. I care about you.

Ramsey

All it cares about is using you.

Speed Force

Barry, you must listen to me.

Barry

No, I don't! You're not my mom. You're the reason I buried her.

Ramsey

Your efforts are in vain, Captain. I'm going to transform this city by dawn, and you can't stop me.

Joe

Stand down, Dr. Rosso.

Ramsey

Rosso's my human name, and he had human plans. My name is Bloodwork now, and I am not alone.

Iris

You asked me here. Why?

Ramsey

To offer you a chance. Barry would want you to follow him down this path he chose.

Iris

No.

Ramsey

The path of life.

Iris

You aren't saving lives, Ramsey. You're destroy what makes one beautiful. Barry... I know you can hear me and you can hear what I tell you that I love you. And after we've been though together... I know that this is not how our story ends. Come home to me.

Ramsey

Why would Barry come home to you? You accepted his death in Crisis as inevitable. What kind of wife is willing to bury her husband?

He's right. You were born to heal. But you've become an angel of destruction.

Ramsey

No. This isn't happening. This isn't real.

My dear son... You wanted so desperately to save me. Now let me save you from yourself.

Ramsey

I just wanted to help them all.
