• Barry Allen : What are the rules?

  Hunter Zolomon : One lap around the inside of this loop will produce about 1 gigawatt of energy, and I need 500-plus to power the Magnetar enough to do the job. Once it's full, I win, because there is no stopping it.

  Barry Allen : So, all I have to do to beat you is stop you before that happens.

  Hunter Zolomon : Yep, it's that simple - but if, at any point, you decide you don't want to race anymore, dear old dad number two is a dead man, as well as your little fan club.

  Barry Allen : They're not my fan club. They're the reason that I'm running, why I'm gonna beat you.

  Hunter Zolomon : Let's see what you're made of, Flash.

• Hunter Zolomon : You're a... you're a hero, Barry. You couldn't kill me before. You won't kill me now.

  Barry Allen : I don't have to.

  [Two Time Wraiths appear and take Zoom into the Speed Force] 

• Dr. Harry Wells : You race Zoom on his terms, you'll lose.

  Barry Allen : This is not your decision to make!

  Joe West : It is this time.

  Barry Allen : No.

  Joe West : We all made it together.

  Barry Allen : What? All of you?

  Cisco Ramon : Bro, I went back and forth. I was, like, a good 60/40 at first.

• Wally West : Okay, so you ran back in time and made a copy of yourself?

  Barry Allen : Well, uh, basically. Yeah.

  Jesse Wells : It's called a time remnant.

  Barry Allen : It's not something that I can do every day, but I needed a way to draw the Time Wraiths out of the Speed Force, hoping they'd be more upset at what Zoom had done than they'd be with me.

• Barry Allen : Can't stop thinking about my dad's doppleganger. Seeing him, knowing that he's out there, that should've made it easier. It doesn't. It just made me miss him even more.

  Iris West : I can't even imagine how hard that must have been.

  Barry Allen : We just won. We just beat Zoom. Why does it feel like I just lost?

  Iris West : Because you've lost a lot in your life, Barry, more than most, but... maybe you and me, seeing where this thing goes, maybe that can give you something for a change.

  Barry Allen : That's all I've ever wanted to hear you say - and I wish that I was in a place where I could try that with you, but I feel so hollowed out inside right now. I feel more broken than I've ever felt in my life. If I'm ever gonna be worth anything to you, I need to fix what's wrong with me. I need to find some... some peace.

  Iris West : Barry, listen to me. You waited for me for years. You let me get to a place where this was possible, so I am telling you I am gonna do the same thing for you. Wherever you need to go, whatever you need to do, do it, and when you get back, I'll be here.

  Barry Allen : Okay.

  Iris West : I love you, Barry.

  Barry Allen : [they kiss]  I love you, too. And I always will.

• Barry Allen : Zoom's still out there. We need to come up with a plan.

  Cisco Ramon : The man can crack open breaches to Earth-2. I mean, if he can do that, what else can he do that we don't know about?

  Barry Allen : Right after he killed his time remnant, he told me I was "almost ready."

  Iris West : Almost ready for what?

  Barry Allen : I don't know.

  Cisco Ramon : Yep. Classic psychopath. Why can't they ever just say what they want to do? We also have to figure out why I keep vibing Earth-2 being ripped to shreds.

  Joe West : Seriously.

  Cisco Ramon : It's like I'm watching "Transformers" in 4-D, but, like, ten times more realistic and with much better acting.

• Cisco Ramon : So, the reason you didn't have your powers is because there was a dampener in the mask. You see?

  Jay Garrick : I don't want to see this thing ever again.

  [vibrates his hand through the mask, breaking it in half] 

  Cisco Ramon : So your powers are back.

  Joe West : I see Jay - excuse me - Hunter stole your color scheme too.

  Jay Garrick : He stole a lot of things that were mine, except for that. That's, um - that's all him.

  Iris West : He said it was his father's from the war.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Ironically, on my - on our Earth - this helmet stood for hope.

  Jay Garrick : Yeah?

  Dr. Harry Wells : Yeah.

  Jay Garrick : Maybe I can continue on that sentiment, take something from him, for a change, make it my own.

  Caitlin Snow : It suits you.

  Jay Garrick : Thank you, all of you, for saving me from Zoom, especially you, Flash.

  Barry Allen : You're welcome, Flash.

  Jay Garrick : Now all I have to do is find my way home.

  Wally West : And where's that?

  Jay Garrick : I think you would call it Earth-3.

  Cisco Ramon : Uh-huh. Well, I can get you to Earth-2.

  Dr. Harry Wells : My daughter and I can help you with the rest.

  Jesse Wells : We can?

  Dr. Harry Wells : Yes, we can. We're going home.

• Hunter Zolomon : I told you family was a weakness. You feel the anger, don't you, Flash? And now... the two of us ARE the same.

  Barry Allen : [runs at Zolomon]  No! No!

  Hunter Zolomon : There you go, Flash! Use your anger, just like I did.

• Hunter Zolomon : Bad time, Flash? Thought I'd give you some time to mourn.

  Barry Allen : This ends now.

  Hunter Zolomon : Not yet. There's always more to take, Barry.

  Barry Allen : You're gonna stay away from them.

  Hunter Zolomon : That's completely up to you.

  Barry Allen : What?

  Hunter Zolomon : When we first met, I told you that Zoom needed to be the best. You just didn't realize that I was talking about myself.

  Barry Allen : Is that what this is about?

  Hunter Zolomon : A race, Barry, between you and me... to see who's the fastest. You win, this is over, and you get to be the hero.

  Barry Allen : I'm not racing you.

  Hunter Zolomon : Then your father won't be the only person you love that I'll take from you. Think about it, Flash. All I want to know is who's the fastest man alive on either world. I'll be waiting.
