The Flash quotes

Wells

"Turtle". Why do you insist on giving them ridiculous nicknames?

Cisco

Me? Who's the genius who came up with "Zoom"?

Wells

Yeah, well... I'll tell you. About two years ago, this is on Earth-2 now... The CCPD there, they got a 911 call about a hostage situation. But when the SWAT team got there, there were no hostages. It was a trap. Zoom set a trap. In order to show the police that they could not stop him. And he killed fourteen officers. Men and women. Slaughtered them. Left one alive to tell what happened. That officer described "blue lightning zooming all about" as his comrades... brothers and sisters-in-arms... were murdered. That officer... considered himself to be the lucky one. Spared in order to tell the tale. Until Zoom went to his house that night and killed him, too. And that's how he got the nickname "Zoom".

Barry

[voice over] There are many reasons why we run, but usually it's to avoid what's right in front of us. A decision to be made or a dilemma we have to face. Lately, for me, it feels like running is all I've been doing.

Cisco

Are you telling me I can see the future?

Wells

That's exactly what I'm telling you.

Cisco

Those goggles are getting amped. Immediately.

Iris

Last year, my fiancé died. Unexpectedly. One moment he was here, the next gone. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to him, to tell him everything that he meant to me. That he was my world. That he was loved. But today I got to say goodbye to your mom. My mom. And it helped us both find peace with what happened with our family. Wally, don't make a mistake you're going to regret the rest of your life. Go see your mom. While you still can.

Admit to me you're the Flash and I'll stay.

Barry

I can't do that. I'm not him.

[choking up] That's too bad, it would have been nice to stay. Fight crime during the... day, and be with... you at night. But I was... I was wrong. Take care, Barry.

Eobard Thawne

We'll meet again soon, Flash.

The Flash

I know. And every time, I'll be ready for you.

Barry

[voice over] There's this song lyric I like: All the broken hearts in the world still beat. Mine's beating, but bruised. Hopefully not for long. The one thing I do know is time changes everything.

Cisco

Who's the best hacker in the world, people?

[together] Felicity Smoak.

Cisco

What is wrong with you two? That's not friendship.

Barry

[about Wally] Yeah, but he just found the best dad he could wish for.

Joe

Oh, you say that now, you didn't always think that.

Barry

Well, you were pretty strict. That's for sure. But strict isn't always a bad thing, especially when you know it's coming from love.

Cisco

So, you can sync up all social media postings on all meta-human activity. Somebody sees something cray in Central City, I get an alert about it.

Barry

Yo, man, you have too much time on your hands.

Cisco

Oh, I thought you were gonna say it was cool.... I'm just saying, you can't judge me. Didn't your girlfriend just break up with you?

Barry

Again?

Cisco

Pretty sure she just did.

Barry

Hey, Harry.... Wait, so if that app gives you eyes and ears all over the city, then why won't you use it to find the next Miss Right?

Cisco

[realizing] Did I just make the metahuman Tinder?

Barry

Mm-hmm.

Cisco

Nope. Not staring that fetish.

Joe

You have people that sit up at night worried sick about you, and they're not going to stop worrying about you. That's what a family does. They put up with each other and they put up each other first, before ourselves.

Wally

So you're not mad at me?

Joe

For being reckless with your life? Yeah, hell yeah, I'm mad at you. But I'm more mad at myself for being something I'm not. I'm not your friend, Wally. I'm your father. I ain't letting you go.

Wells

Ramon.

Cisco

What?

Wells

Not a sightseeing tour.

Cisco

Speak for yourself. We want our grandkids to know we did cool stuff.

Barry

Caitlin.

I haven't heard that name in a long time.

Barry

But that is your name, isn't it? Your real name? Please, look... I know you. Don't do this.

If you know me at all, you would know that I hate the name Caitlin. I'm Killer Frost.

Cisco

Ronnie. Is Martin Stein in there?

Oh, I haven't let him out in years. Doesn't talk much any more.

Cisco

Who the hell are you?

[steps out of the shadows] Well, that's funny. I was just gonna ask you the same thing.

Cisco

Dopple...

Ganger.
