Jesse quotes from The Flash

Wells

Fine. But if you're gonna go, you should take protection.

[stammering] Oh. uh... Dad, I don't need... I don't know what you thought I was going to be doing, but I....

Jesse

Oh. Right. I mean, is it necessary? It's kinda, you know...

Wells

Or I could always build you an inescapable daughter cube.

Jesse

Funny. You know I'd get out, though, right?

Cisco

Without Caitlin here, I can't really analyze the cells on a molecular level to see what we're dealing with here.

Jesse

You know, I might actually be able to help.

Cisco

How?

Jesse

Bio-chem was one of my majors in college.

Barry

One of your majors? How many did you have?

Jesse

Five. [off everyone's reaction] What, is that not common here?

Iris

Girl, no, that is not common anywhere.

Jesse

I'm the reason you killed that man. And that's a really heavy burden to bear.

Wells

I know. I know. I also know that what I've done, it's unforgivable. When your mother died, honey... something inside me broke. I couldn't protect her. And I... I swore... I swore on her grave, no less, that I would protect you, and then Zoom took you, and I snapped. I just snapped. I couldn't breathe, I... I couldn't lose the only other person that I love.

Wally

Okay, so you ran back in time and made a copy of yourself?

Barry

Well, uh... basically, yeah.

Jesse

It's called a time remnant.

Barry

It's not... something that I can do every day, but I needed a way to draw the Time Wraiths out of the Speed Force, hoping that they'd be more upset at what Zoom had done than they'd be at me.

Joe

[to Iris] Is that what I look like when they start talking about science?

Iris

Pretty much.

Joe

Don't worry, Wally, it'll get easier to understand.

Wally

But how does that even work?

Barry

Same way Zoom did it. I ran back in time moments before I left. It's the only way I could be in two places at once.

Wally

[still a bit confused] O-okay, so the-the time remnant, it's still you.

Barry

Yeah.

Caitlin

But he died.

Barry

I...uh, he was willing to sacrifice himself for all of us.

Iris

That's how much he loved us.

Wally

You know what, we'll just forget about it. Uh, Barry, I'm glad you're okay.

Wells

Go help him.

Jesse

Dad....

Wells

You need to get out there. Now.

Jesse

Are you sure?

Wells

Yes, I'm sure. I know you can do it. You're more than fast enough. Now run, Jesse. Run.

Jesse

Okay. Well, that wasn't very heroic.

Barry

Nope. But there is a lesson in there somewhere.

Jesse

What's that?

Barry

The difference between having powers and having precision.

Jesse

Well, what do you mean?

Barry

I mean it's gonna take more than speed to take down some of these metas. You gotta think. Anticipate. When you enter a new environment, you gotta case every inch of it. Never run in blind. [realizing] Oh, my God. I've become Oliver. Heh.

Caitlin

Jesse, that's not who you think it is. This is H.R. You met him briefly before you left last time.

H.R.

[bows dramatically] At your service, madame.

Wally

He's Harry's replacement.

H.R.

Some would say "improvement".

Cisco

Um... this is Harry's daughter.

H.R.

Yeah.

Cisco

He's been kidnapped.

H.R.

Ee... I didn't know. I'm so... I thought...

Jesse

Sorry about that.

H.R.

I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry I took the smile from your face.

H.R.

What you doing up there?

Jesse

Just, uh... hanging out.

H.R.

What are... what are you thinking about?

Jesse

Wally. He wants me to stay here with him.

H.R.

Ah. Yeah, he does. Guy is no dummy. Congratulations. Oh, that's great. Love... nothing like young love.

Jesse

Yeah, I just... I don't... I don't know if it's the right thing.

H.R.

Why?

Jesse

He's on his own journey. Besides, my dad just got captured by gorillas. And if... if he does come back, how could I ever tell him I'm leaving?

H.R.

Well, 'cause you're human. That's... that's how. That's what we do. Look, my point is this. When it comes to love, you gotta go for it. You know? Everything else be damned. 'Cause if you don't, you're gonna end up being the kind of person that lives the rest of their life with regret. I mean, I know that telling your dad that, you know, you're... you're switching Earths, that's gonna be a difficult conversation to have, but one that you've got to go for if you want to be happy. But, that's just my opinion. What do I know? I'm just a handsomer guy than your dad with a song in his heart. Good luck, Jesse.

Cisco

Man, I don't know what this is. All I know, it just came off the armor of some Hindu speed god, so...

Caitlin

It's like the box the Philosopher's Stone came in. It simultaneously exists, it doesn't exist.

H.R.

Like Schroeder's Cat. Remember? Schroeder? Guy with the cat, in the box, both alive and dead at the same time, dun dun dun. Which, by the way, seems like cruelty for animals. Half the time.

Cisco

Okay, I think you're thinking of Schrödinger, maybe?

H.R.

Schro - no.

Cisco

Yeah. 'Cause Schroeder's the guy from Peanuts.

H.R.

I don't think so!

Caitlin

Yeah. The one with the piano.

H.R.

Charlie Brown has the piano. On my Earth, that's the whole gag, 'cause he can't play the piano. He's terrible.

Jesse

Oh my god. Who cares about cats, or pianos, or the frickin' Peanuts?

H.R.

It's not "the" Peanuts. It's just... Peanuts.
