TV show quotes
The right choice? What the hell are you talking about? You lied to me for twenty years and told me my father was dead. How the hell is that the right choice?!
Your father is trapped inside an ice monster, Caitlin. What was I supposed to do? Split custody with him on the weekends?
Listen to me, Nora. Breathe. Breathe. You're reaching out and nobody's there. The loneliness is pain. Pain racing through your mind. Crushing you, wrecking you, shattering your soul into a million, little, pieces. And suddenly, you are no longer you. You are part of something different now. Part of a negative force.
Do you know what it's like to want something more than anything else in your whole life? [starts crackling with yellow, purple, and red energy] To know your father? To do your best to follow in his footsteps? To make him proud? [more energy crackles] How could he leave me?
Wait! Wait, that's enough !!
Nora–
How could he stop loving meeee?!?!
[Nora's eyes fill with Speed Force energy and she runs off.]
[Caitlin's father Thomas has been mortally wounded saving Caitlin's life.]
[emotional] Dad, I told you to go.
I already left once before. I left both of you. Worst mistake I ever... ever made in my entire life. Wasn't gonna make that again. Family shouldn't leave family. I'll always love you. [Thomas dies]
On that note, I'm happy to help you follow that lead on the atomizer.
Really? What about... Sher-luck?
"Sherloque". Do you think any of you are gonna get this right at any point at any time in your life? "Sherloque" !
[referring to Brie's motorcycle] Pretty paint job.
Predators know these colors get you stung.
Yeah. It's always a great idea for a thief to call attention to herself.
At least I don't fly around in a fuzzy green sweater. Didn't think I'd recognize Weather Wizard's kid?
It's "Weather Witch". I have a name, okay... Bug-Eyed Bandit.
Don't call me that! That's their name.
[being held captive with Sherloque by the Young Rogues] Well, we got a Rag Doll. A Weather Witch. And, uh... hold up, is that... Crazy Bee Girl? Hey, girl, what's going on? What a throwback.
Yeah, but the minute you got "The Book of Ralph" back from Cisco, you tried to give it away again. Don't you want to use it? Try to find someone special for yourself?
[strained] Caitlin,... look,... "Book of Ralph"... works great for other people, but... never actually worked for me. I know I'm not... built for love.... And that's okay.
Ralph Dibny. You are kind, intelligent, and compassionate. And most of all, you put the needs of others before yourself. So that means you are built for love. And you deserve someone who loves you back.
Hey, look, I'm sorry about, um,... how I was acting earlier. I just... seeing Nora looking so much like him (Thawne)--
I get it, Barr. That guy's always gonna be in your head. Mine, too. And you were right. Nora broke the law, and there should be repercussions for that. But whenever you guys step out of bounds, I always have to remind myself... the detective side says "There's the law", but the father side says "There's also what's right". And I'm always gonna choose to be your father first.
[Sherloque walks up to Renee unexpectedly, startling her.]
Sherloque! You scared me to death.
Well, I apologize, but when you don't answer my many emoticon pictograms, no, I fear the worst, huh?
I was in the library. What could have happened to me?
Stacks collapse. [Renee laughs] Livid librarian.
[amused] Really?
Death by dewey decimals.
And a life loss by late fees?
Ah, there you go.
Nora, where would you find this hyper-conduit in 2049?
Probably Ollins Laboratory. Ollins won a Nobel Prize for quantum engineering.
Ollins? As in Sebastian Ollins?
Yeah. Do you know him? He is a true genius.
[scoffs] A genius, you say. The guy couldn't even stay awake through a single physics lecture. In fact, I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for his very smart, very considerate college roommate lending him notes, helping him study, he wouldn't have made it through his finals! Nobel Prize, my ASS!!
Yeah, he knows him.
I can't stand around and do nothing.
Yes, you can, because that's what we're telling you to do.
When I first got here, I would rush in to fix things, and by doing that, I always ended up making them worse. But I am not that person anymore. Because of you. You showed me how to use my powers. You taught me how to make the right choices. And right now, I am choosing to face this risk.
Nora, this is a terrible idea.
I know you feel that way. But I don't. I'm an adult, capable of making my own decisions. I've made up my mind about this. So I am asking you, please, as my parents, stop trying to keep me away from this danger and start helping me face it.
[regarding the speedster trap] Man, this thing brings back memories.
Good ones? Bad ones?
Thawne ones. We trapped the Reverse-Flash in this thing before we even knew he was Thawne.
Well, we actually ended up trapping his speed mirage, while his real self just sat there chilling in his wheelchair.
Man, Thawne's plans got plans.
What're we gonna do?
Breach in, lose our powers from the dagger, stop Cicada from Supergirl-ing away, then regroup for the emotional fallout.
How do I fix this?
I don't know if you can, Nora. You made a mistake, you know? A big mistake. Sometimes in life, all we can do is just live with the consequences. So what you have ask yourself is... what kind of hero are you gonna be? One who takes a do-over after every mistake, or one who lives with it and moves forward?
