Abra Kadabra (2017)

Jesse L. Martin: Joe West

Quotes 

• Gypsy : He calls himself Abra Kadabra.

  Caitlin Snow : As in hocus pocus?

  Barry Allen : He's certainly got a lot of tricks.

  Gypsy : Yeah, we think he has some sort of nanotechnology built into his body... allows him to do extraordinary feats. Teleportation, telekinesis, you name it, and believe me, I have seen it all.

  Iris West : So that card trick he played on Barry, the water tank at Stagg, that's all some futuristic tech that he's masking as magic?

  Caitlin Snow : Well, it's Arthur C. Clarke's third law. "Any sufficient advanced technology" is...

  Caitlin Snow , Cisco Ramon : "Indistinguishable from magic."

  Barry Allen : Before you showed up, he said he was from the future.

  Joe West : The future.

  Gypsy : He is, 64th Century.

  Iris West : Great, another criminal from the future. Haven't we had our fill of those guys?

• Barry Allen : You said you know who Savitar is.

  Abra Kadabra : I know everything about the God of Speed, hallowed be his name.

  Iris West : Like what?

  Abra Kadabra : That he's unstoppable, that he was the first speedster, and that you defeat him, but not until after he takes what matters the most to you... Iris West.

  Iris West : Tell me is who he is, now!

  Abra Kadabra : I don't think so. It's frustrating isn't it, knowing that you're going to die unless I give The Flash what he wants. All that power, all that speed, and yet you're still slow.

  Joe West : This isn't a game or a trick. This is about my daughter's life.

  Abra Kadabra : And it's my life if you hand me over to that collector. It's simple. Let me out, and I'll tell you who Savitar is. Give me to Gypsy, and Iris dies. The decision lies with you, Barry.

• Cecile Horton : Okay, so, break it down. How did it happen?

  Iris West : Um... we were at the apartment, and, um, Barry sang to me. And then he proposed.

  Cecile Horton : Oh, my God, that's so romantic. You sing?

  Barry Allen : Not as good as Joe.

  Joe West : Shut up, Barry.

• Gypsy : What the hell were you thinking?

  Joe West : Now is not the time, Gypsy.

  Gypsy : You know, you got a really messed up sense of justice for a cop?

  Joe West : Watch yourself. I took two oaths in my life. One, to uphold the law. The other, to protect my family. Guess which one takes priority?

  Gypsy : That was my prisoner.

  Joe West : He was my prisoner too, and you're on *my* Earth. He has information that can save Iris's life, so I don't give a damn! It's because of you he's on the loose.

  Gypsy : Because of me? No, no, because of you. You opened that door! You let him out! That is on you, Detective!
