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.

Eobard Thawne : Miss me?
The Flash : Save it, Thawne. You're back because of us, right?
Eobard Thawne : And in exchange, I've agreed to help you take down a psychopath.
Godspeed : Flash, that was nuts! You do like to party.
-
August Heart : What happened? Did you find the real me?
Barry Allen : Yeah.
August Heart : What did I say?
-
Barry Allen : You got what you wanted. I'm here. Now tell me what you were doing at the Flash Museum. What do you really want, Heart?
August Heart : My, oh, my. You're really direct. Then again, you're meeting me for the first time. We're bound to learn new things about each other.
Barry Allen : Tell me what the hell's going on.
August Heart : Or what? You'll force me to? Oh, Flash. I'm the living God of Speed. The one... unlike you and your infernal spawn.
Barry Allen : You're gonna leave them alone, or I swear...
August Heart : Are you threatening me, Flash? Here? Seriously? You still can't comprehend what you're dealing with. So let me enlighten you. Once upon a time, there was a young physicist named August who dreamed of moving faster than light, so he developed a way to achieve his goal and created the velocity formula. But it wasn't enough, because no matter how fast he ran, he soon came to realize one salient fact: that he'd never be fast enough.

Barry Allen : Heart, tell me how to stop this war. Both sides are looking for you, including one that wants to kill you.
August Heart : And what? You're gonna turn me over to them? Mm-mm. You're too much of a hero to sell me out. Now, Impulse, that's a different story.
Barry Allen : I said leave my son out of this.
August Heart : Oh, but I can't. He's the one who helped me realize the truth. That artificial speed would always be a pale imitation of the real deal. Spoiled little brat. He's not just reckless, he's unworthy. All the times we fought. He was so cavalier with his gift; a gift that should have been *MINE*! Now it will be... thanks to you.
Barry Allen : That's what this is all about. You want organic speed.
August Heart : [clapping sarcastically] Keep going.
Barry Allen : Everything that's happened... us finding you, your clones, this war.
August Heart : Is all a part of my plan to force your hand.
Barry Allen : So why the act if your memories are still intact?
August Heart : That's the one thing I didn't foresee. Memory loss is a side effect of fracturing myself in time. Who knew, right? Then again, I knew you'd come looking for answers, which eventually would bring you to me. Gift me the gift I deserve, and I'll save your precious city by reabsorbing my other selves. Or refuse my request... and watch your city burn.
Barry Allen : There's no way that's happening. Besides, what you're asking me to do? It's impossible.
August Heart : The impossible is your thing. You can figure it out. Or watch more cities fall as my army spreads and this entire world is torn apart. Oooooh! I can see those little wheels turning in your head. You're trying desperately to think of a way out of this. Well, guess what? There isn't. So what's your answer?
[Barry stays silent]
August Heart : Answer me, damn it!
Barry Allen : I already did. I said no.
August Heart : Oh, you'll change your mind. You have no choice.
-
Godspeed : There can only be one God of Speed, Flash! This didn't work out like you planned, Flash. Now guess what comes next? Tag, you're dead.
-
Cecile Horton : August, no.
August Heart : Sorry, Cecile. Turns out I like being the bad guy.
-
Godspeed : Joining forces with your worst enemy just to take me down. That's very flattering, Flash, but it won't do you any good. Don't you two get it? You can't kill a god!
-
Godspeed : [in Punjabi] Your end is near!
The Flash : No one is dying tonight, Heart. But you are going to Iron Heights.
Godspeed : [switching to English] You'll have to catch me first!
Nora West-Allen : Dad, be careful! You don't know what he's capable of!
The Flash : I will.
-
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.
-
August Heart : [in Punjabi] Come to Daddy, my children!
[absorbs the other Godspeed clones]
August Heart : [switching to English] At last! True speed for a true god!
