Barry and Ralph in “Unfinished Business”

Barry

DeVoe's still out there. And until that threat's over, we gotta keep this buddy system going.

Ralph

I thought you might say that, Allen. Which is why I got you this. [hands Barry a business card that reads "Barry Allen, Private Investigator".]

Barry

You want me to be your partner?

Ralph

[scoffs] Oh, hey, come on. This, uh... this Turner don't need no Hooch. But... I do know what it's like to get fired from CCPD when you didn't even really break the law.

Barry

You absolutely broke the law.

Ralph

And I remember, after I lost my job... felt like I lost a piece of my identity. And now you won't have to deal with that problem. So the next time we're out in the field and somebody asks you who you work for, you won't have to get all stammery.

Barry

You like me. You really like me.
