Quotes 

• Cisco Ramon : Have we already had this conversation?

  Barry Allen : Kind of.

  Dr. Harry Wells : What does that mean?

  Barry Allen : Ah... All right, so the last time Mardon attacked, he, um, generated a tidal wave that destroyed all of Central City.

  Dr. Harry Wells : So why are you not all sleeping with the fishes?

  Cisco Ramon : Earth-2 has "The Godfather?"

  Dr. Harry Wells : Every Earth has "The Godfather," Vito.

• Barry Allen : Why are you here, Snart?

  Leonard Snart : I got the Noel spirit, wanted to give you a little gift. Mardon broke Jesse and me out to kill you. Jesse's on board, of course. He's shaking with excitement. Me, I'm gonna pass.

  Iris West : Why? You grow a conscience?

  Leonard Snart : Mardon wants revenge, Jesse wants chaos. I'm just not invested like they are.

  Iris West : You mean there's no money in it for you?

  Leonard Snart : Was never much for non-profit work.

  Barry Allen : If you're not in with them, then tell me where they are.

  Leonard Snart : Nah, consider me more of a secret Santa. Besides, you and your friends love to solve a good mystery.

  Barry Allen : [scoffs]  You are full of it, Snart. I think my friends and I saved your sister's life and you just can't stand owing me a marker. I hate to break it to you, but that - that right there is called honor.

  Leonard Snart : Go on, make your pitch. I can see you're dying to.

  Barry Allen : Help me stop them.

  Leonard Snart : Sorry, I'm not interested in being a hero.

  Barry Allen : Ha. Well, you're doing a pretty lousy job of being a villain this week.

  Leonard Snart : Merry Christmas, Barry.

• Barry Allen : So I ran back through time, but one day into the past, and I got a do-over, and I stopped Mardon before he could hurt anyone.

  Dr. Harry Wells : You... you shouldn't have messed with the timeline.

  Barry Allen : That's what the other Wells said.

• Patty Spivot : I'm sorry, I don't have time to bring you up to speed.

  Barry Allen : [under his breath]  THAT'S ironic.

• Barry Allen : So the good news is, in that timeline, you created the wand and it worked. So you just gotta do it again - for the first time.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah. No pressure.

• The Flash : What is this?

  Mark Mardon : That is a box with a bomb in it.

  James Jesse : Yep. I've handed out about a hundred of 'em today, ha. Oh, it feels so good to give.

  Mark Mardon : You see, right now, there are about a hundred random children who've each taken home a box, just like that one, and are shovin' it under their Christmas tree. There's no way for you to get all of 'em - even IF you know where to look.

  The Flash : No, no. Please don't do this.

  Mark Mardon : What, me? Kill a hundred families? No. That's up to you. I'm happy just to take your life. So, this is how it's gonna be: You are gonna stand there and let me end you, very publicly and very painfully, and I'll let everybody live; but, if I see even a little flicker of electricity on you, casket makers in this town are gonna have a VERY merry Christmas. So, Flash, what's it gonna be, huh?

• Joe West : You okay?

  Barry Allen : Yeah, no, uh, nothin' a little meta-human regenerative healing capabilities won't cure.
