The Flash quotes

Cisco

Look, we have to face the facts, and I have to own up to whatever it is that I did.

Kamilla

You're gonna turn yourself in?

Cisco

I have to! I can't trust myself anymore.

Kamilla

Anymore? You stopped trusting yourself the moment Barry asked you to take over as team leader. I mean, you've built this elaborate device just so you wouldn't have to make any decisions for yourself.

Cisco

That's...

Kamilla

Let me make this decision for you. You are innocent.

Cisco

How can you be so sure?

Kamilla

Because I have faith in you. The real question is why don't you have any faith in yourself?

Cisco

Because Barry's gonna die! What if I can't keep people safe the way he does? I'm not the Flash.

Kamilla

Babe... Barry didn't choose you to be the Flash. He chose you to be you. All these doubts, they aren't you. They're just... noise in your head.

Iris

Cisco, we got your message. I'm... I'm really sorry to hear about Gypsy.

Cisco

Some things you never get over. But her service is next week.

Barry

You want us to come with you?

Iris

Yeah. I mean, we loved her, too.

Cisco

Thank you. Uh, Kamilla's coming with me, so... I'm very lucky to have her. Is it wrong to feel that way? I mean, with everything that just happened? It's like I'm moving on. What kind of person does that?

Iris

Someone who is very much in love.

Cisco

It's funny. Cynthia wasn't the person I ended up with, but, um, I think she taught me how to be the person I needed to be for when the right person came along, and for that, I will never forget her.

I am very curious, though, as to why you are really here.

Ralph

Do you expect me to talk?

Meister

No, Mr. Dibny... I expect you to die.

Ralph

Oh, come on. That line is literally from Goldfinger.

Barry

I should've listened to you. If we had done things your way, we wouldn't have gotten caught. Maybe I should be handing over Central City over to Ralph Dibny rather than the Elongated Man.

Ralph

What are you talking about?

Barry

There's no deposition. I planned a press conference to present you as Central City's official protector. Because of this coming Crisis, I have to prepare the city for a world without Flash.

Ralph

Wow. I'm, uh... I'm honored that you think that I could help fill your shoes. Look, tonight's job was for Ralph Dibny because both parts of my identity have value. The same is true for you, only tonight I could've used your civilian half. What I'm trying to say is Barry Allen is just as important as the Flash. Try to remember that. I know I will.

I think you're afraid to use your powers because if you do, you think you'll become like... someone. [studying her] Someone. Someone you know, someone you... hate. How am I doing?

My cousin, Esperanza, she has the same powers as me, only she uses them to murder people.

You're not your cousin.

But if I start using my powers, what's to stop me from becoming like her?

Because, Allegra, in this life, we choose. We choose who we are. So if you choose to use your incredible powers, that does not make you anything like Esperanza unless you choose that.

Barry

[pretending to be drunk] This isn't the bathroom.

Barry

[whispering] Sorry, sorry.

Meister

Mr. Allen Barry, I see you have found the open bar.

Ralph

[whispering to Barry] Keep her busy til I can get to that console.

Barry

I'll bid on your stupid laptop.

[bidding from the crowd] Five hundred million.

Barry

Five hundred million and one. Dollar. Price Is Right rules.

Joe

Uh, those who wear capes and costumes aren't the only ones who keep us safe. There are some unsung heroes as well, like this man. This man has solved crimes to give mourning families justice. He's a CCPD member who's never given up on a single case. This man has saved Central City more times than anyone knows. So it's time we thank him. It's time that I thank him. So without further ado...

Officer Barry Allen, on behalf of CCPD, we present you we present you with their highest honor... the Medal of Honor. Thank you for your service.

Ramsey

That was quite the tumble. I guess you're wondering why I'm doing this to you.

Ralph

You're evil. I get it.

Speed Force

It's okay, Barry. I'm here. I'm sorry it took me so long to find you. Ramsey's infection is stronger than anything we've ever faced, and it's only getting stronger.

Barry

I think I know why.

Speed Force

You feel doubt.

Barry

I do.

Speed Force

You've answered our call before. It's always been difficult. What's changed?

Barry

I've led more. I've gotten married, seen a future where I'll have a daughter who's the best of me and Iris combined. Most of my life has been driven by my past, but... but now, I... It finally feels like I'm living for myself. I don't wanna leave my family and my friends. I don't want to die. I know that's selfish. I'm sorry I let you down.

Speed Force

Barry. No person is immune to fear and doubt... No matter how brave... that's what makes you human, Barry. But the courage to move forward, even in the face of overwhelming odds, that's what makes you a hero. That's what makes you the Flash.

Barry

Thank you. I needed to hear that.

Speed Force

Please understand. The role you play is vital to all things.

Barry

Oh, stop.

Speed Force

There are universal forces at stake. They must be protected.

Barry

What about the rest of us?

Ramsey

She's right. There are universal forces at stake. It's just a pity she doesn't consider your life among them.

Speed Force

Don't listen to him. He wants to possess your form no matter the cost.

Barry

Cost? All those headstones? Those people are dead because of my connection to you. How many times do I have to suffer for you? When is it your turn to suffer? Do you even feel pain?

Speed Force

No, at least not as you know it.

Ramsey

How could it? The Speed Force isn't human. It doesn't even know what it means to be alive, to have a family to love. It only pretends.

Speed Force

Ramsey's infection is twisting your heart. You have to fight it. Barry. These aren't your true feelings.

Barry

What do you know about the truth? This isn't what you look like. This isn't my old bedroom. It's a trick. This is you manipulating me so I'll do what you want.

Speed Force

That's not true. I care about you.

Ramsey

All it cares about is using you.

Speed Force

Barry, you must listen to me.

Barry

No, I don't! You're not my mom. You're the reason I buried her.

Iris

[writing article on the Flash's impending death] My name Is Iris West-Allen and I once met a young man, a superhero who I called the Streak. The world has come to know him as the Fastest Man Alive, the Scarlet Speedster, the Flash. But no matter what title you choose for him, he'll always be remembered as the protector of our amazing city and its citizens, as a beacon of hope for us all, and as the man who sacrificed himself again and again so we could live. Today we say goodbye to him. Today we say goodbye to him, not because he was taken but because he gave himself willingly. And in the end, that's what makes him deserving of the greatest title of all. Hero.

Ramsey

I am the world's salvation. Come to save it from all that ails it. Soon, the entire world will embrace... Bloodwork.

What's Babel Protocols? I thought that was defense stuff you added to Barry's suit.

Cisco

That's version 1. Version 2.0 puts up a force field around S.T.A.R. Labs. Nothing gets in, nothing goes out - not even our comms. I built them just in case... just in case if the Flash ever went dark.

Iris

Barry said that Ramsey gave him a choice. Why-why would he chose him?

Maybe he decided eternal life was better than dying in Crisis.

Cisco

Ramsey's using Barry. And whatever he's having him do, he's got a plan.

Ramsey

Your efforts are in vain, Captain. I'm going to transform this city by dawn, and you can't stop me.

Joe

Stand down, Dr. Rosso.

Ramsey

Rosso's my human name, and he had human plans. My name is Bloodwork now, and I am not alone.

Iris

You asked me here. Why?

Ramsey

To offer you a chance. Barry would want you to follow him down this path he chose.

Iris

No.

Ramsey

The path of life.

Iris

You aren't saving lives, Ramsey. You're destroy what makes one beautiful. Barry... I know you can hear me and you can hear what I tell you that I love you. And after we've been though together... I know that this is not how our story ends. Come home to me.

Ramsey

Why would Barry come home to you? You accepted his death in Crisis as inevitable. What kind of wife is willing to bury her husband?
