Quotes 

• Speed Force : I can feel how frustrated you are. How can I help?

  Barry Allen : Look, it's okay, we've got this.

  Chester P. Runk : Totally, I mean, we are, like the Power Rangers of forensic science, basically. But the Speed - Nora here - is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. She's like our Zordon.

• Barry Allen : Who's hungry?

  Iris West-Allen : Hi. I didn't think you'd be out of bed already.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, there was a car fire on Route 220. And I thought I'd bring home some breakfast, but this looks a lot better. Is that blueberry compote?

  Speed Force : Freshly mashed, and paired with a savory bacon and baked egg danish.

  Barry Allen : The Speed Force.

  Speed Force : Are you okay, Barry? You're not still feeling the effects of Psych's attack, are you?

  Barry Allen : Nah, I'm good. I just... I had no idea you could cook.

  Iris West-Allen : Bobby Flay has got nothing on Nora.

  Speed Force : You know, it's funny, cooking is the process of combining ingredients with head to create molecular change, but this feels like so much more.

  Barry Allen : Huh.

  Speed Force : Mimosa?

  Barry Allen : Sure.

  [his hand vibrates violently causing the glass of juice to explode in his face] 

  Barry Allen : Actually, I think I'm good.

• Chester P. Runk : Say, can white hole singularities actually exist... without mass?

  Speed Force : Yes.

  Chester P. Runk : I knew it! I knew. Barry, we don't have to crunch data all night. Nora can do it right now.

  Barry Allen : It's our job to find answers.

  Chester P. Runk : Of course, but, uh, you know, Nora is a literal force of nature.

  Speed Force : He's right, just let me...

  Barry Allen : [firmly]  No. No, we need to do this ourselves.

  Chester P. Runk : Maybe just this once?

• Iris West-Allen : Are you okay?

  Barry Allen : Yeah, I'm just, um, a little worried about the fact that my powers are glitching again, especially since I just got 'em back.

  Iris West-Allen : Okay, well, we can call Caitlin and have her run some more tests. How do you feel now?

  Barry Allen : I feel fine. I just... I don't know what happened.

  Speed Force : Actually, I think I'm the reason. Since I'm here now, I'm increasing your abilities as best I can. It may take some getting used to, but you'll need it if the other Forces come back.

  Barry Allen : [his phone buzzes]  Uh, that's work. I gotta go.

  Speed Force : I should come with you.

  Barry Allen : Oh?

  Speed Force : I'm like your battery now. If Fuerza and Pysch are back...

  Barry Allen : Yeah, no, I don't... having you at a crime scene might not be a great idea.

  Speed Force : You've already been hurt once. I can help boost your speed.

  Barry Allen : I know, I know, it just... it might just be, like, a traffic accident or something, so, um, just let me find out.

  Speed Force : Of course, but don't worry. If you need me, I'll sense it, and I'll be there in a heartbeat.

• Speed Force : [after his powers glitch]  Barry, what did you do? We've lost everything.

  Barry Allen : What did I do? I didn't lose the data that was supposed to clear Frost. You did, by being here.

  Speed Force : I was only trying to help.

  Barry Allen : Okay, I didn't ask for any.

  Chester P. Runk : Guys, maybe we should take five?

  Speed Force : Barry, you helped me be reborn, and now you're keeping me safe. Of course I want to help you.

  Barry Allen : I keep telling you, I didn't ask for help. Look, you chose me to be the hero. So let me be the hero.

• Barry Allen : So, Chester has all the satellites scanning for the new Forces.

  Iris West-Allen : There's the Sage Force, Strength Force, and now the Still Force.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, uh, so far, no hits on any of their isotopic signatures.

  Iris West-Allen : Well, it's still good that you're here with us. The last time the Forces attacked you, you almost died.

  Speed Force : I don't want to burden anyone.

  Iris West-Allen : No, you're not. You know, in a weird way, it's like you've been a part of this family all along.

• Barry Allen : Have you been there the whole time?

  Speed Force : She admires you.

  Barry Allen : Who... what, Kramer? Okay, well, look... she could be back any second, not to mention a dozen other officers, so... but I thought you were gonna spend the day with Iris?

  Speed Force : Well, I told her I needed to stretch my legs.

  Barry Allen : Okay.

  Speed Force : You know, it's just like you said, the ice is different. The particles inside all this, I can feel them, they're... compacted, constrained.

  Barry Allen : Like on a molecular level.

• Barry Allen : I wanted to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten upset at you earlier.

  Speed Force : No, it's okay. I tried to fit in somewhere I didn't belong. Being here, in your home, with you and Iris? It's not my place.

  Barry Allen : Yes, it is. Look, I-I know... how much things have changed between us. You're not the same as the Speed Force I'm used to interacting with. And I... I can't expect you to be the way you were. It's not fair to you.

  Speed Force : To either of us.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, you're something... else now, something new. And it's something I'd like to get to know better, Nora. And look, no more glitching.

  Speed Force : I'm almost fully healed.

  Barry Allen : So now we can take on all three Forces together.
