Quotes 

• Cisco Ramon : Believe it or not, this ain't the first time I've died in a past timeline. Ah, I once got a vibrating hand through the chest courtesy of Eobard Thawne. Well, more than once. I actually kept vibing that moment until I realized that it actually happened. I guess I should have known the same thing was happening now, huh?

  Nora West-Allen : I keep trying to absolute hardest to changed the outcome, but I end up failing every time. What if we can't fix this, Cisco?

  Cisco Ramon : Nora, sometimes we fail because all we worry about is not failing. I'm so worried about my first date since Cynthia that I don't feel free to be myself around Kamilla, and then I just end up screwing it up even more.This - this intelligence and reconnaissance mess, I don't need this. All I need to do is be myself. Duh! And I sure as hell don't need to dress up like Ozone just to impress Kamilla.

• Ralph Dibny : "Chapter One: Initial Planning."

  Cisco Ramon : Initial planning? It's a first date, Sun Tzu, not an incursion.

  Ralph Dibny : Trust me, Grasshopper, love is war, but, fine, if you wanna skip to chapter six, "Know Your Terrain."

  Cisco Ramon : We're meeting at Jitters.

  Ralph Dibny : Ah, familiar territory. You are learning.

  Nora West-Allen : Uh, you know, he really should be going.

  Cisco Ramon : I really should.

  Ralph Dibny : Hang on, hang on a second. This one's really important. Chapter thirteen, "Intelligence and Reconnaissance."

  Nora West-Allen : Wh - You cyber-stalked Kamilla?

  Ralph Dibny : No, no, no, no, of course not. That's her public profile. But it did happen to have some info on the types of guys that she might be into.

  Cisco Ramon : The type of guys that she's into?

  Ralph Dibny : Yes, and, unfortunately, you are nothing like them, but, hey, if you don't wanna get a second date, be my guest. Just don't come crying to me when everything inevitably goes horribly, horribly wrong and you die alone. No big deal.

• Barry Allen : We have to wait how long before we can use the meta-human cure?

  Cisco Ramon : Not even that long.

  Iris West-Allen : Cisco.

  Cisco Ramon : [snapping his fingers]  It's gonna go by like that.

  Iris West-Allen : Cisco.

  Cisco Ramon : 29 days.

  Nora West-Allen : A month?

  Cisco Ramon : I know, right? Just one, teeny, tiny month until we stop Cicada's purge. You know, historically speaking, this is way faster than we've ever stopped a big bad, so...

• Barry Allen : 52 times?

  Nora West-Allen : 53, if you include now.

  Barry Allen : That's... a lot.

  Nora West-Allen : What was I supposed to do, let one of them die?

  Barry Allen : The thing is, Nora, there are consequences to time travel.

  Nora West-Allen : Oh, I know.

  Barry Allen : No, you don't. Not like I do. Let me show you something. Imagine this coffee cup is the space/time continuum.

  [as he vibrates the mug, a piece breaks off] 

  Barry Allen : Whenever you go back in time, it breaks. Now, you can try and reset the timeline, try and fix it, but no matter how hard you try, it's never gonna be exactly how it was. It seems like things worked out this time, but that's not always gonna be true, and it's impossible to know how these changes are gonna unfold; the ripples you'll cause, whose life you're gonna affect. No one can do that.

  Nora West-Allen : No one?

  Barry Allen : No one. We're not gods, Nora. We've just been given extraordinary abilities.

• Ralph Dibny : Nora, Cisco hasn't left for his date yet, has he?

  Nora West-Allen : Uh, I don't think so.

  Ralph Dibny : Great, I get another chance at this.

• Barry Allen : Nora, you need to stay here.

  Nora West-Allen : You... you don't want my help?

  Barry Allen : I just... I got this one this time.

  Nora West-Allen : Are you sure that now is a good time to go? I mean, I just mean the city will be Flash-less, and an hour is a long time to be without the Flash.

  Barry Allen : The city is not gonna be Flash-less. It'll have XS.

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah, but what about the time you had to spend 24 hours in the Pipeline cell, and Weather Witch and Silver Ghost stole that A.R.G.U.S. car...

  Barry Allen : And you stopped 'em, without me.

  Nora West-Allen : But, what... with what happened to mom because of Cicada...

  Barry Allen : Nora, Iris is fine. And this is the key to stopping Cicada. I gotta go. If anything happens, just do what I've trained you to do. Slow down and think clearly.

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah.

  Barry Allen : I trust you; you just gotta trust yourself.

• Iris West-Allen : You're reversing time, aren't you?

  Nora West-Allen : And I can't fix it.

• Iris West-Allen : You want him to go into the Speed Force for a month and then, what, come out the same day that he left?

  Sherloque Wells : Oh, no, no, I'm not saying you manipulate time. I'm saying you manipulate dark matter. So, very simple. It's simple chemistry, right? When you are synthesizing a compound, you use a... commodity, uh, substrate, uh...

  Caitlin Snow : A catalyst?

  Sherloque Wells : Catalyst, right. And the most effective catalyst you can use when synthesizing a compound that negates dark matter is superluminal particles.

  Nora West-Allen : Tachyons.

  Sherloque Wells : Trés bien. Tachyons, and the place where tachyons are the most dense?

  Barry Allen : The Speed Force.

  Sherloque Wells : And voilà.

  Caitlin Snow : That might actually work.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah, it will. It'll be like nuking it in a pan-dimensional microwave. Nice work.

  Sherloque Wells : I know.

  Iris West-Allen : So, how much time would this save?

  Caitlin Snow : From 29 days down to... sixty minutes.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah, it's gonna be faster.

• [last lines] 

  Nora West-Allen : Thawne, I need to know we're not making this worse. Tell me you know what you're doing.

  Eobard Thawne : I am the *only* speedster who knows what he's doing! Stick with the plan. Follow my instructions and we'll defeat Cicada, we'll destroy his dagger, and then we will save your father.

• XS : Why can't I fix this?

• Nora West-Allen : Uh, you can't leave.

  Iris West-Allen : What?

  Nora West-Allen : I mean, you just... you shouldn't go to your office. Not right now.

  Iris West-Allen : Why?

  Nora West-Allen : Because... dad is gonna be back, like, any minute, and by the time you get there, you're just gonna have to turn around anyway.

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, I know, but I need to get this article out tonight.

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah, but I-I mean, you have your laptop with you, right? So why don't you just write it here? In the lounge, where it's safe.

  Iris West-Allen : Safe?

  Nora West-Allen : I mean cozy. It's cozy.
