The Flash quotes

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.]

Iris

Barry? I don't know if you can hear me or if... you're trying to send us a message somehow. Hey, I did what you told me to. I kept running, I kept moving forward. Because I knew that if I stopped to look back, then I would remember that you weren't behind me anymore. [getting emotional] And it's been so hard... And when Cisco said that he could bring you back, you know, I didn't know what to think. What if it didn't work? What if you... were dead? I mean, I thought it would be like losing you all over again. [Barry keeps writing, paying no attention to her.] I never imagined this, though. I don't know what I would do if this is all that's left of you. If this is all that's left of the amazing man that I know. And love. Please come back to me. Tell me you're still my Barry.

Caitlin

Any luck?

Cisco

No, not yet. The computer keeps telling me it's random gibberish.

Caitlin

Maybe it is.

Cisco

No. It's not. Barry's trying to send us a message, I know it. I mean, he's spent all this time in the Speed Force. Maybe now he knows the answers to life, the universe and everything.

Caitlin

So you think all this crazy writing is Barry's way of telling us "42"?

Caitlin

[transforming into Killer Frost] Don't make me frosty.

You wouldn't like me when I'm frosty. [freezes the thug's forehead] What's the matter? Brain freeze? Touch my head again, and I'll freeze yours off. Maybe some other parts, too.

Iris

It's been really hard, Barry.

Barry

Hey, I'm back. And I'm not going anywhere ever again.

Iris

I tried to keep going. To keep fighting, to keep running, like you said.

Barry

You did. You kept everyone together. I'm so proud of you, okay? Look, it sounds funny, but... maybe this was a blessing.

Iris

You being gone for six months was a blessing?

Barry

I just... I can't tell you... how I feel, Iris. It's like... everything that was wrong in my life. The pain, my past, my mistakes, it's all just washed away, and all I see is you, and us, and our future together. Iris, it's gonna be great. [They kiss.]

Barry

I'm just catching up on all the TV I missed while I was stuck in the Speed Force. When you've been gone six months, the world is a minefield of spoilers. But Cisco hooked me up with a 1000-times sped up version of my favourite shows. Aw, Jon Snow died. Oh, he's alive!

Cisco

Sorry I'm late, the curls were not cooperating this morning. [notices blood-spattered crime scene] Oh, good Lord! Why would you show me that?

Joe

We think this is because of some weird technical glitch, and you're our weird tech expert.

Cisco

This completely ruined Sriracha for me.

Barry

Ramsey Deacon. Looks like we found our meta. For some reason, it looks like he's going after his old partners.

Cisco

It's like Silicon Valley if Richard went nuts and started killing everyone at Pied Piper.

Barry

I feel like he's got more of a... anarchist Gilfoyle vibe.

Cisco

Erlich, maybe

Barry

Look, I don't know, I guess our wires have gotten crossed a few times the last few days, but I think that hardly rises to the level of a crisis. After everything we've been through together, you and me, we're Barry and Iris. we're the Gold standard. I am so in --

Iris

Then how could you leave me?! You left me, Barry. You just left me. Standing there, alone. [getting emotional] How could you do that?

Barry

Iris, it's not like I wanted to leave you. I had to put on a brave face, for everyone. But it was killing me inside. And I think part of why I didn't talk it through with you is I was afraid. I was afraid that you would tell me to stay. And I wouldn't have been strong enough not to.

Iris

Barry, how do you know what I'm going to say if you don't ask me? I am here to help you, especially when everything seems lost. But you have to let me.

Barry

But sometimes it's not about us. Or the team. Sometimes the weight of the whole city falls on my shoulders, and it's up to me to carry it. I'm the Flash.

Iris

See, that's what you don't get. When I put this ring on my finger, it wasn't just about you or me anymore. It's about us. You are not the Flash, Barry. We are.

Barry

I see her.

Iris

She's getting away in a Prius.

Barry

Last time I checked, the Flash is faster than a Prius.

Joe

We did it? We brought dark matter into Central City.

Barry

When you pulled me out of the Speed Force, yeah.

Caitlin

All the people in that bus. We turned them into metas.

Cisco

Every time we try to do something right, it goes horribly wrong.

Wally

We're cursed.

Iris

Maybe we should burn some sage.

Barry

Becky, I know you've been having... a lot of luck lately. And that you took some money from the Central City bank that doesn't belong to you.

How do you know all that?

Barry

I just do. Getting powers is overwhelming. I'm sure you don't know how they work or what you should do with them.

I have some idea. [Barry tries to put his hand on top of Becky's.] Ah ah ah. Do you really want to test your luck? Bad things happen to people that get in my way.

Listen, CSI guy. My entire life has been one piece of crummy luck after the next.

Barry

Look, we all have ups and downs in life.

No, not Becky Sharpe. I have only ever been dealt bad hands. But I knew one day the Universe would see it made a mistake, and then I'd have the run of the table. I got on that bus, and Lady Luck smiled on me.

Barry

Becky, this isn't some higher power fixing a miscalculation. You have powers. And they're affecting everyone around you, making them feel as awful as you used to feel.

I'm sorry about that. But, maybe it's just their turn. Maybe for once, everyone else can feel for a second how bad I felt my entire life. [stands up] Anyway, there is nothing you can do to stop me. [Becky walks away as Barry watches the earlier near-disasters again almost happen.] Toodles.

Caitlin

What just happened?

Cisco

The hydrogen-electron collision released a charge that temporarily negated Hazard's quantum field. We did it. [to Harry] You did it. How did you know to do that?

Harry

Lucky guess.

Joe

What's wrong, Wally?

Wally

You guys tell me. I mean, the city was about to blow up, no one realized I wasn't here...

Iris

Where did you go, Wally?

Wally

I went to Earth-2. I had to talk to Jesse, hear it from her. She told me she needs to focus on herself, and I get it, and I think I have to do the same, right? So... I'm leaving Central City.
