Quotes 

• August Heart : What am I supposed to do now?

  Cecile Horton : August... I know that things seem really hopeless right now. But believe me when I tell you that this team of ours, if there is anyone who can find a way out of this thing, it is Team Flash.

  August Heart : I believe you. I do, but I saw Barry's face when we both came back. It's true, isn't it? I'm a monster, aren't I? I'm...

  Cecile Horton : You don't have to be.

  August Heart : What if I don't have a choice? You all think I'm someone from the future, a future where I'm supposedly a killer obsessed with taking speed and ruling the world. You know how that feels? Now imagine getting back the thing you want most, your memories, your whole life... and then learning you're the bad guy. If that's true, how am I supposed to live with that?

  Cecile Horton : I'm no fortune teller, but I can tell you that the sorrow I feel coming from you, August, bad guys, they don't feel remorse like that. Maybe the future is not so set in stone after all.

• Cecile Horton : August, no.

  August Heart : Sorry, Cecile. Turns out I like being the bad guy.

• Cecile Horton : I love renewal ceremonies. And weddings.

  Joe West : [a little taken aback]  Good to know.

• Godspeed : [in Punjabi]  This is why I chose this time, Flash.

  [switching to English] 

  Godspeed : Now that you've leveled up, what better time to feast?

  [as he starts to absorb Barry's speed, he's knocked backward] 

  Chester P. Runk : [watching at S.T.A.R. Labs]  Wait, is that... Thawne?

  Cecile Horton : It sure as hell is.

• August Heart : How exactly will this give me my memories back?

  Jay Garrick : The theory is your artificial speed cells have gone dormant. But we believe that a speed boost from Barry can jumpstart them and give you organic speed.

  Cecile Horton : And the harness should trigger the rest. Hey, don't worry. It's gonna be okay.

  August Heart : Yeah. If... if this does work, I'll try to come back. Differently.

  Jay Garrick : Good luck.

  Nora West-Allen : Are you okay?

  Bart Allen : If Dad is right, and we're actually creating the future by doing this... everything from now on will be different.

  August Heart : I know you don't have to do this. So whatever your reasons are, I know they're pretty important. I just hope this works out for both of us.

  Barry Allen : Me, too.
