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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
