Quotes

Lia Nelson : A speedster? Nora, lab mate, friend of mine, you didn't happen to pitch your speedster theory to Detective Curtis, did you?
Nora West-Allen : It is not a theory, Lia. It is the only explanation.
Lia Nelson : You know I'm equally a fan of our fleet-footed super friends. I mean, honestly, if I could have ever met Jesse Quick, it's like, hello, new best friend. No offense, um...
Nora West-Allen : Some taken.
-
Lia Nelson : Your mom lied to you your whole life. I mean, that's next-level aggro.
Nora West-Allen : How could she keep something like that from me? I mean, what else has she lied to me about?
Lia Nelson : I think you're gonna have to ask her.
Nora West-Allen : Oh, just the idea of that makes my blood boil.
Lia Nelson : That could be the macchiato.
[laughing]
Lia Nelson : It's possible I might have made that a triple.
Nora West-Allen : At least I have one person in my life I can still trust.
-
Lia Nelson : I cannot believe my first time at Stagg Industries is as a burglar. Or are we vigilantes?
-
Lia Nelson : You fried your gauntlet and half the fleet.
Nora West-Allen : Well, it was only three cruisers.
Lia Nelson : Now Captain Frye's gonna be on his warpath, which is gonna make everybody's life miserable. I'm sorry, Nora. I know today didn't exactly go so great.
Nora West-Allen : Both robbers got away because of me.
Lia Nelson : Cut yourself a slice of slack pie. It was your first day. No one got hurt, and plus, they found Bug and Byte hunched over with runner's cramps, like, ten minutes later.
Nora West-Allen : But I still feel so bad.
Lia Nelson : You're looking at this all wrong. Today was not Nora's big failure. Today was the Femme Flash's big debut. Naming superheroes is not easy.
-
Nora West-Allen : Lia, you are the best friend a schrappy speedster could ever ask for. But I think we both know that CCPD isn't equipped to stop this guy. The only way we're gonna catch him before anyone else gets hurt is if I start thinking like a villainous speedster.
Lia Nelson : And how are you gonna do that?
Nora West-Allen : I'm gonna go see one.
-
Lia Nelson : Catch this.
Nora West-Allen : [catching a Flash bobblehead] I'm okay!
Lia Nelson : You sure?
Nora West-Allen : [laughing giddily] Yeah, dude. I'm a speedster. All of my nerves are tingling, and my synapses must be going crazy, because my reaction times are way off the charts.
[putting the bobblehead down as she looks at a picture of her as a baby with Barry and Iris]
Nora West-Allen : What am I gonna do about my mom? She freaks out anytime someone even says the word "meta".
Lia Nelson : Okay, well, that's understandable. I mean, her non-meta husband died because of metas.
Nora West-Allen : Yeah, but writing about the Flash, *the* meta-human, made her career.
Lia Nelson : So we can't tell her?
Nora West-Allen : No. We can't tell anybody. Not until we figure out how I got these powers. And I don't think it's a coincidence that this happened after my little run-in with the... god of speed guy.
Lia Nelson : You mean when Godspeed hit you with his lightning. Which, according to the Flash Museum, is exactly what happened to...
Lia Nelson , Nora West-Allen : The Flash.
-
Lia Nelson : There hasn't been a speedster in Central City since that... crisis piece your mom wrote about, like, decades ago. I mean, Flash, Kid Flash, Jay Garrick, that-that weird purple speedster that just showed up one day. They're all gone, so what you're suggesting... highly unlikely.
Nora West-Allen : Then we need to start believing in the highly unlikely.
Lia Nelson : Alternatively, um, you could... dial back your obsessiveness.
Nora West-Allen : I'm not obsessive!
Lia Nelson : [pulling out a whiteboard] You never got to know your dad, so you became a CSI just like him, and it's why you keep investigating one case Barry Allen never solved: Cicada.
Nora West-Allen : You call that obsessive, I call that a hobby.
Lia Nelson : Right, your, um... your classic, everyday... murder hobby. It's like your mom says, you're, uh... you're excessive.
Nora West-Allen : Do not quote my mother.
-
Lia Nelson : God, I wish CCPD would spring for one of these affinity cameras. I mean, trillion FPS, captures light in motion.
[seeing something strange]
Lia Nelson : W-T-Schrap?
Nora West-Allen : That's lightning.
Lia Nelson : The cannister's gone.
Nora West-Allen : White lightning. A speedster.
Lia Nelson : Okay, maybe.
Nora West-Allen : No, not maybe. It is! I knew it!
Lia Nelson : Okay, fine, you're right. But... but what is a speedster doing stealing chemicals?
