The Flash quotes

Cecile

You know this kid. You know her rap sheet. It's petty crimes, robberies. It's not double homicide. That doesn't even add up.

Joe

I haven't known this woman in a long time, and the evidence adds up. We need to recognize that, unlike facts, feelings can be falliable.

Cecile

Except when it's your gut.

Joe

I've never said that.

Cecile

You didn't have to. That is a scared kid, with no one to stand up for her. The public defender's office is overworked and underpaid. Joe, I'm the only one who can prove her innocence.

Joe

Your job is to prosecute the cases that we bring to you, using the evidence. I mean, it's like you... it's like you don't even wanna be the D.A.

Cecile

Are you telling me I have to choose between using my powers and doing my job?

Joe

That is not what I just said.

Cecile

No. It's what you're feeling.

Joe

How did you get hurt, Barr? All right, look... you don't have to share right now if you want to. Just know that I'm here. Always.

Barry

Something's coming, Joe. I have to make a sacrifice. But at the same time, I can't help but feeling like it means I'm giving up.

Joe

Giving up?

Barry

Yeah.

Joe

When I was a beat cop, you know, I walked the same patrol every day. One morning, I'm responding to a noise complaint. Out of nowhere, pop. Bullet flies by my head. I got pinned, I called for backup, but everything was telling me that's it. Next morning... Barr, I can't even tell you how... scared I was... to go back there in them streets.

Barry

But you did.

Joe

Yeah. [shows his police badge] 'Cause of this. Our badges, your emblem, they're symbols of the strength that we're charged with to get back out there. We don't make a choice to die. We would never choose to do that. But when we hear the call of duty... We're willing to make that sacrifice. And that's not giving up, Barr. That's what you call resilience. And I know you to have plenty of that.

Ramsey

Cait? You're Killer Frost?

Actually, she's me, Sad Coffee Guy.

Cisco

What are you doing on our Earth?

What am I doing? I'm searching for an artifact that happens to contain the same particles... I'm currently reading off you.

Iris

What?

Although...

Cisco

What - what part - particles of what?

Eternium.

Cisco

Eternium?

Eternium's a Multiversal element, all right? Although the readings were stronger in the alley.

Cisco

Listen, Indiana, I don't know how you do things on your Earth, but this ain't "Temple of Doom." And what is Eternium supposed to be, anyway? Some kind of stolen mystical element from the tiki gods that you suddenly have to return?

Look, there's no such thing as mystical mumbo jumbo or gods. What there are are meta-humans, aliens, and false gods worshiped by simple-minded people that find comfort in myths. I dispel those myths. You people are no help.

Barry

I had a feeling about you. I hoped I was wrong. But I know a desperate man when I see one. Put them back.

Ramsey

No.

Barry

I can make you.

Ramsey

Go on, then. Like you said, I'm a desperate man. I have nothing to lose.

Barry

I thought you wanted to save lives.

Ramsey

HLH isn't just my mother's disease. First it killed her, and now it's killing me.

Barry

I still can't let you take those. Look at what it did to Mitch Romero.

Ramsey

I am marking my calendar to every day until I die, waiting to fall off a cliff, powerless to grab onto anything or anyone. I watched my mother dived off that same cliff... with a smile on her face. She didn't even fight.

Barry

I know what's like to lose your mother. I know you're angry.

Ramsey

This isn't anger. This is the pain beneath my anger. It takes courage to fight death.

Barry

Maybe it takes more to accept it.

Ramsey

My mum had the same look on her face when she was first diagnosed. You're a dead man, too. Aren't you, Barry? So why don't you fight for yourself?

Barry

I'm marking my calendar with the days I have left to live. I'm gonna spend them saving as many people I can.

Ramsey

You're not a coward. You're just naive.

Barry

Stop trying to hit me, and hit me. Or why don't you just admit what's hurting you?

I don't want to die when I've just started living. Okay? I finally have the chance to live a life, and not this stupid Crisis is gonna take it all away?

Barry

I know it's not fair.

Do you know that Baskin-Robbins has 31 different flavors? I might die before I get to figure out which one is my favorite. Or what my favorite song, or have my first birthday party. 30 years of existing, and I've never had one. That really sucks.

Barry

Frost. There's always going to be a crisis, or some meta-human threatening to take away the life that you love. Truth is, we're all living on borrowed time.

So, what, does everyone feels this crappy all the time? That actually does kind of make me feel better.

Barry

It's why you can't let the threat of losing tomorrow tomorrow keep you from making the most of today.

I want to spend the rest of today making sure that Mitch Romero doesn't hurt anyone else.

Cisco

The Monitor? Where did you see him?

Barry

We went in the Time Vault, right after putting Chester in the MAC. The Crisis that he spoke about last year, it's the same one in the plinth's newspaper. And it's not coming in 2024. It's coming December 10... 2019.

Ralph

Are you sure about this?

The jackass lied to you.

Iris

Yeah, well, we thought so, too, but... Barry went to Earth-3 and Jay Garrick helped him see that it was true.

Cisco

How did he do that?

Barry

Jay projected my mind forward into the future.

Cisco

Okay. And what did you see?

Barry

I saw a giant wave of antimatter sweeping over our Earth. Vaporized all of Central City and everybody in it. Including you three.

Great. I'll go mark my calendar.

Barry

We still have seven weeks to make sure none of this happens.

Iris

Guys, Barry's right. We've changed the future before. We can change it again.

Ralph

So what else did our Asgardian cosplayer say?

Barry

That was pretty much it.

Ramsey

So that's it. You're just deciding to give up and die.

No one lives forever.

Ramsey

No. I won't give up. That's your choice.

Ramsey. I'm not your enemy.

Ramsey

I know. The real enemy... is death.

Barry

What are you talking about? What the hell are you doing?

Cisco

I'm saving your life. 'Cause someone has to do it.

Barry

Saving Ramsey... Saving Ramsey's my call.

Cisco

And it's a bad call.

Barry

But it's one I made. Sometimes, as a leader, you have to make tough calls in order to serve the greater good.

Cisco

You know, I made a tough call. And I made it for you.

Barry

But I told you. You can't save me.

Cisco

I'm not buying that!

Barry

Well, you have to. Sacrificing myself saves everything and everyone. I've seen it.

Cisco

And what does that give me to look forward to? Waking up to a world without the Flash? A light without my best friend?

Barry

You get to live. You all get to live.

Cisco

Don't.

Barry

Look, man, I... I've been dealing this for weeks. Wondering what's gonna happen when I'm gone, how everybody's gonna move on. That's why I wanted us, you and me together, to save Ramsey today.

Cisco

You wanted us to save a random person so I'd be okay with you dying?

Barry

No. I wanted us to save one person's life so you could understand the tough calls... the sacrifices that a leader has to make. Because you're my pick. You the person I want to run S.T.A.R. Labs and this team when I'm gone.

Ramsey

Hello, Cait. Playing the hero now, are you?

The bad guy was taken, so yeah.

The Flash

Everyone dies, Ramsey. Maybe the only thing that makes it bearable is to find some meaning in it.

Ramsey

Well, that means I'm making the greatest sacrifice of all. Don't you see? What I'm becoming, this is the cure. I am the answer, Flash, to the greatest mystery of all. Life eternal.

Iris

Sue is very lucky to have a master detective like you searching for her.

Ralph

Give me a break. It's just a missing person's case. It's not I'm looking to getting married.

Ralph

Okay, computer, what's Barry's favorite movie?

Barry

Empire.

Ralph

Oh, thank God.

Barry

Actually... I loved, loved Empire Strikes Back my whole life, but... now that I think about it... oh, my God. My favorite movie is Jurassic Park.

Cisco

There it is.

Barry

How does it do that?

Cisco

Fuzzy logic, and AI intuition, my guy. With the B.A.R.I. by my side, it'll be like you never left.

Kamilla

You need time to rest that sexy brain of yours.

Cisco

My brain is the Ryan Gosling of genius intellects.

Cisco

Me being like this, I don't want you to think I'm still hung up over Cynthia or something.

Kamilla

Cisco, someone you cared about died. I'd be worried if you weren't sad.
