Quotes 

• Cisco Ramon : We could do release-date order...

  Chester P. Runk : Or machete order.

  Cisco Ramon : Prequels after "Empire"? You're a wild man, and I love it.

• Chester P. Runk : I feel like usually I'd be like, "Holy Arthur C. Clarke". But it's so... cute.

  Cisco Ramon : Mm, don't let it fool you. It may be collectible size, but this little guy is heavy.

  Chester P. Runk : 20 tons? Boy, that's, like 20 baby elephants, which is also kinda cute.

• Cisco Ramon : Hey, what's up with all new your toys?

  Abra Kadabra : A magician never reveals his secrets. I see you're finally Mecha-Vibe.

  Cisco Ramon : Mecha-Vibe? I know he just did not name me.

  Abra Kadabra : I know more than just your name. I've seen your future.

• Cisco Ramon : [after Kadabra is apprehended]  "Look at me. I'm A.R.G.U.S. I'm gonna let two young, handsome devils do all the work while I reap all the benefits, and I'm gonna pick up the obelisks." That doesn't bug you?

  The Flash : Kadabra's caught. The job's finished. You really wanna argue over who gets credit?

  Cisco Ramon : Yes!

• Cisco Ramon : Hey, hold up there, chief.

  Chip Cooper : My classification is director of technology and science for A.R.G.U.S. I have never held the rank of chief.

  Cisco Ramon : Okay, hey, I just want to know what's your plan is for keeping David Copperfield here contained.

  Chip Cooper : David Copperfield is not currently under A.R.G.U.S.'s custody.

  Cisco Ramon : Are you're for real right now?

  Chip Cooper : If you're asking if I'm a hologram, I can neither confirm nor deny A.R.G.U.S.'s use of such tactics.

• The Flash : This is your family from another timeline. Only, they're gone now, aren't they?

  Abra Kadabra : 13 months ago, I started having dreams of a life I never lived, one I was so... Happy. I had to know what was causing them. I ran every test on myself possible using 64th-century technology. What I found was that, somehow, I'd experienced a sudden increase in my somatic memory cells.

  The Flash : Your memories were expanding.

  Abra Kadabra : More backwards 21st-century thinking. I'd been exposed to neuro-temporal displacement, the kind that's created when speedsters disrupt time. With my clue to the cause, it led me to the Flash museum. You're obsessed with the future, Flash. Not now, but... oh, you will be. found so many interesting things there including to my surprise, Cisco Ramon's archaic memory device. It was damaged beyond repair. I fixed it easily.

  Cisco Ramon : Ugh. This guy sucks.

  The Flash : You used it on yourself and it gave you those memories back.

  Abra Kadabra : From a time before everything changed. With my memories restored, I had proof that the family from my dreams, a wife and son that I never knew existed were real. They were erased from existence by what you did. You were supposed to vanish in your Crisis, Flash, not them! But when you didn't, my future changed. They ceased to exist, and I lost everything. Just like you will now!

• Joe West : It's not just a time traveler. He's a guy who has a theatrical flair for killing.

  Barry Allen : Abra Kadabra is back.

  Cisco Ramon : Oh. Great. That explains all the shakin' and quakin' yesterday.

  Chester P. Runk : Ooh, timequakes too? Whoa, okay. So what's this Abra dude's deal?

  Cisco Ramon : Oh, you know. He's just your standard time-traveling, murdering, thieving 64th-century magician who uses embedded nanotech and calls it magic.

  Barry Allen : Four years ago, the Collector's Agency took him to be executed for his crimes. Somehow, he escaped.

  Joe West : Last time, he was hell-bent on stealing tech to build a time machine. This time, he goes out of his way to kill an innocent person, doesn't steal a thing. Now, that's a pretty vicious escalation.

  Cisco Ramon : And what's that thing back there got to do with it?

  Barry Allen : You know, it doesn't matter. Kadabra picked the wrong day to come back.

  Joe West : I'll put out a BOLO right away.

• Barry Allen : Do we have eyes on Kadabra?

  Chester P. Runk : Uh, yes and no. He's teleporting all over the city with that obelisk ball thing. I'm scanning it.

  Cisco Ramon : I'm picking up readings of antimatter energy. He created an antimatter bomb.

  Caitlin Snow : That kind of power, it could take out another Earth.

  Chester P. Runk : Or another universe?

  Allegra Garcia : Wait, what? Are we about to have Crisis Part Two?

  Cisco Ramon : No, no. There's not enough antimatter energy for that, thank the sequel Gods, but the core is roughly the size of a baseball.

  Caitlin Snow : A baseball? Barry, a trace amount nearly took out your leg.

  Barry Allen : Is it enough to destroy the city?

  Cisco Ramon : I'd say there's exactly enough.

  Barry Allen : Abra said his last trick was to make the whole city disappear. Destroying Central City must be his plan.

• Abra Kadabra : I'm doing you a favor by killing you now, Flash. This way, you'll never have to face the wrath of the Chronarch. Alas, you can't run forever.

  Cisco Ramon : [Frost freezes his wand with an ice blast]  What was that you were saying about the art of misdirection?

• Joe West : Please tell me you boys found something we can use.

  Cisco Ramon : I think I just did. It looks like this whole crime scene is infected with serious temporal energy. Like, the kind carbon-dated 43 centuries from now.

  Chester P. Runk : As in the future? Wait, hold on, hold on. Is this, like, a time capsule? Ooh, maybe like a TARDIS.

  Cisco Ramon : P-Runk, you picked a hell of a day to start your CCPD-consultant internship. Yeah, this is definitely a time-traveler.

• Chester P. Runk : Yo, this is epic. I didn't know S.T.A.R. Labs did volunteer work.

  Cisco Ramon : Mm-hmm. Not just us. Kord Industries is showing up for their shift in an hour. Hey, you got any more nails?

  Chester P. Runk : Oh, yeah. I got your box nail, finishing nail, casing nail, masonry nail; all the nails.

  Cisco Ramon : Uh...

  Caitlin Snow : Whew! You got a latte in there? 'Cause I'm as fried as these wires.

  Cisco Ramon : Oh, Runk-adelic, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

  Chester P. Runk : Yeah, we gotta...

  Cisco Ramon : Jitters run!

  Chester P. Runk : Or Jitters run. I like Jitters. We should do Jitters.

  Cisco Ramon : One latte coming up.

  Caitlin Snow : Make it a double.

• Cisco Ramon : You just missed Lieutenant Literal. Where were you? Hiding from A.R.G.U.S.?

  Frost : No. A.R.G.U.S. and I are cool. They know I'm innocent. I was trying to get rid of this stupid headache. But look what I liberated from one of the transport guards.

  Cisco Ramon : Ice, ice, bandit. What is it?

  Frost : I don't know. But it was on Abra Kadabra when they took him down. Maybe it has something to do with the obelisk?

  Cisco Ramon : [moving to take it]  Yeah, maybe.

  Frost : Uh-uh! Before you nerd out completely, I need a favor.

• Abra Kadabra : Flash. I knew it was just a matter of time.

  The Flash : Bad timing for you, Kadabra.

  Cisco Ramon : [Kadabra struggles with his restraints]  Yeah, those would be nanotech-nullifying cuffs, so no hocus-pocus this time.

• Chester P. Runk : Getting anything on your scans over there?

  Cisco Ramon : [throwing popcorn into the air to catch in his mouth, but missing]  No. I think it might be time for a Jitters run.

  Chester P. Runk : Well, thank god, 'cause Chester P. is running on E.

  Cisco Ramon : [looking at his monitor]  Holy cappuccino. Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

  Chester P. Runk : That's the same temporal scan from this morning, only now there's a second one downtown. Which means...

  Cisco Ramon : That's where Kadabra's headed next.

• Frost : What's wrong with me?

  Cisco Ramon : So much.

  [she looks at him in concern] 

  Cisco Ramon : I'm kidding. You're fine. Every dark-matter reading I'm seeing is completely normal. What does Caitlin have to say?

  Frost : She says it's "just a headache."

  Cisco Ramon : Hmm. She's probably right.

  Caitlin Snow : [in Frost's head]  I told you so.

  Frost : I know something is off.

  Caitlin Snow : We can't find anything.

  Frost : Well, then look somewhere else!

  Cisco Ramon : I don't know what else you want me to do!

  Frost : Sorry. I was yelling at Katie.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah, okay. I'm gonna let you two work this out. Chester and I are gonna break open Abra Kadabra's mysterious tech cuff.

• The Flash : It's over. You've lost.

  Abra Kadabra : Have I? Seems you've forgotten the art of misdirection.

  [the cuffs materialize on Barry's wrists] 

  Abra Kadabra : Ha.

  Cisco Ramon : Oh, shoot.

• Chester P. Runk : Barry, I know this all seems bad, but...

  Barry Allen : Chester, this city's been through hell. It can't take another emergency. Not now, not this soon.

  Cisco Ramon : We got this, Bar. Don't worry.

  Barry Allen : We just started rebuilding. I'm not gonna let anything tear us down again.
