Quotes 

• Eobard Thawne : Is that you, Flash?

  Barry Allen : [remaining in the shadows]  Why do you hate me so much?

  Eobard Thawne : I didn't always. I was obsessed with you. For so long, I wanted to be The Flash. I spent years figuring out how you came to be. Duplicated the reaction... and it worked. I became like you.

  Barry Allen : Right, so what happened?

  Eobard Thawne : This ability to travel through time revealed a truth. My fate was to become your greatest enemy. I was never going to be The Flash, so I became the reverse of everything that you were. The more people you saved, the more you were loved, the more I had to take from you.

  Barry Allen : That is why you killed my mother? That's why you ruined my life? Because you couldn't be me?

  Eobard Thawne : I BECAME BETTER THAN YOU! I am the *one thing* you cannot stop, Flash!

  Barry Allen : No. No, no. Not anymore. Our race is over. And you lost.

  Eobard Thawne : I've learned what time period you're from, Flash. And one day soon, I'll learn your name.

• Cisco Ramon : You've been playing good Samaritan all morning. Take a break. Are you sure you don't want to get to CCPD, give Patty your attention?

  The Flash : No, I can see her later.

  Dr. Harry Wells : 'Cause we can't afford to waste any more time.

  Cisco Ramon : What, 'cause we've just been sipping Mai Tais since you got here?

  Dr. Harry Wells : I don't know what you've been sipping since I got here, but Barry needs to get better, stronger, faster. We need to train to prepare for Zoom.

  Cisco Ramon : Oh, I see. You haven't had your coffee this morning.

  Dr. Harry Wells : I had my coffee this morning. Don't slurp. Don't. Don't. Don't.

• The Flash : Time to send you back where you belong.

  Eobard Thawne : We'll meet again soon, Flash.

  The Flash : I know. And every time, I'll be ready for you.

• Reverse-Flash : Flash.

  The Flash : Eobard Thawne.

  Reverse-Flash : You know who I am?

  The Flash : You died!

  Reverse-Flash : Good to know. And guess what, Flash. I know what time period you're from. So that means very soon... you will die.

• Dr. Harry Wells : Hey, listen to me. Thawne knows about you. Right here, right now. This is where he learns about you, all of you. It's how he knows about S.T.A.R. Labs, how he knows about me; the Harrison Wells from this Earth. And there is nothing I can do about it. There's nothing you can do about it. This is his origin story, and it's going to happen no matter what you do. But right here, right now... you can send him back to his time. You can save your friend. You can save Cisco and then move on with your life.

  Joe West : This could be a good thing. You can finally let go of him.

  The Flash : I could throw him three centuries from now. He'll always be a part of me.

• Dr. Harry Wells : I think I need a Big Belly Burger. Anyone?

  Barry Allen : I'm good. Thank you.

  Joe West : Yeah no pickles.

  Cisco Ramon : Two triple-triples please?

  Dr. Harry Wells : You got money?

• Joe West : Mmm, I was thinking about what you said, about part of being The Flash is that you have the ability to do amazing things that nobody else can do. And we see now that a hundred years from now, you'll still be doing them. But the other part is, you're gonna be loaded with sacrifices, and you're gonna have hard choices to make, And there's gonna be a lot of things where, eventually, you'll have to let them go. You gotta be ready for that.

  Barry Allen : I am. I'm ready.

  Joe West : That's my boy.

• Barry Allen : There are many reasons why we run. But, usually, it's to avoid what's right in front of us, a decision to be made, or a dilemma we have to face. Lately, for me, it feels like running is all I've been doing.
