Henry Allen quotes from The Flash

Henry

Sometimes you just have to slow down to get back to where you want to be.

Henry

I've watched you grow ever since you became the Flash, and I am so proud of that man. But ask yourself: do you really need powers in order to be that person?

Henry

It's been quite a day, huh? Not so much "one thing after another" as "every damn thing all at once".

Barry

Dad. If I was the Flash, don't you think that you'd be the first to know about it?

Henry Allen

Yeah. Well, if the Flash were my son, I'd tell him a few things. First off, I'd tell him it's a dangerous world, so be careful. Then I'd tell him he's a hero. And he's saving a lot of lives. But the most important thing for him to know, I feel, is that his father's proud of him.

Barry

I can save mom.

Henry

At what cost? You said time won't change. What if it changes you?

Barry

I don't care.

Henry

I do. I am in awe of the remarkable person that you are becoming. All the things you achieved and not just as the Flash, but you, Barry. Your honesty, your heart. You're always a hero, and your mom would be just as proud. And if she had a say in this, if she thought for one second that you going back to save her would mean losing what makes you so special, she would never want that! [Barry sobs] Barry, what I hope for you, maybe the greatest thing that a father can hope for his son is that one day you will have a son yourself and then you will know how much I truly love you.

Henry

Do you think... can you be all that you are becoming with me here?

Barry

You're the only family I have left.

Henry

Well, that's not really true. Don't you have another family in this room? They need your help, too, Barry. When you need me, I will be here. But right now Central City doesn't need you to be Henry Allen's son, it needs you to be The Flash. My Kid, the superhero. I have to go. I need you to tell me that it's OK.

Wells

All right, we're synced up with whatever the heck that thing is.

Joe

Finally, something we're both baffled by.

Wells

I am kidding. That, my friend, is a 75 KTSB 40,000-watt reverberating sound amplifier, designed to single out the operating frequency of every single Earth-2 being on this planet, which when contained and magnified by the Flash creating a sound pressure wall around the city, will render all of us Earth-2 beings unconscious. Hence, the safety precautions.

Henry

[shrugging] I'm baffled by it.
