The Flash (TV Series)

Armageddon, Part 5 (2021)

Tom Cavanagh: Eobard Thawne, Reverse-Flash

Quotes 

• Officer Daisy Korber : Freeze! You're under arrest.

  Reverse Flash : For what, officers? I haven't even done anything. Yet. And do you want to know why? Because I'm not ready to die yet.

• Eobard Thawne : What exactly... do you think you've done?

  Barry Allen : We just saved your life, Thawne. Don't make us regret it.

  Eobard Thawne : You think you saved my life? You took my speed. My speed is my life. You took my life! And left me in hell.

• Reverse Flash : Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking what did I do that? Well, I did it to draw out your hero! What is taking him so long?

  Green Arrow : You want a hero?

  [knocks down Reverse-Flash] 

  Reverse Flash : You. You know, normally, I'd be intrigued to meet the great Green Arrow, but unfortunately, today, I don't have the time.

  Green Arrow : Where's William?

  Reverse Flash : Who's William?

  Green Arrow : [draws back on her bow]  Wrong answer.

  [Reverse-Flash fades in and out] 

  Green Arrow : Oopsie. That's a temporal fade, pal. Looks like you're not too much longer for this timeline. Too bad. Now, where the hell's my brother?

  Reverse Flash : Enough with the questions.

• Reverse Flash : [preparing to vibrate his hand through Mia's heart]  Sorry, kid... but I don't have time for family drama.

  The Flash : [knocking him backward]  Stay down, Thawne.

  Reverse Flash : Flash. I didn't come here to fight. I came here to make a scene, publicly, so that there would be witnesses for what I have to ask you.

  The Flash : What is it?

  Reverse Flash : I need you to save me.

• Eobard Thawne : How much longer do I have?

  Caitlin Snow : Best I can tell, two hours, and then you'll fade away.

  Eobard Thawne : Two hours until you save me, right, Caitlin? Because you, Barry, and Team Flash, you're the good guys. You'll do the right thing.

  Caitlin Snow : Some of us might surprise you.

  Eobard Thawne : But not you. You're a doctor. You won't kill me.

  Caitlin Snow : No, I won't. But I can accept it when someone dies.

  Eobard Thawne : Is that right? Maybe you forget, I know the real Caitlin Snow. You're right where you were eight years ago, remember? Living your safe, orderly life. Preparing for a perfect future with your idiot fiancé. And then...

  [pantomiming an explosion] 

  Eobard Thawne : It all came crashing down.

  Caitlin Snow : What is wrong with you? Ronnie was my whole future, and he is never coming back.

  Eobard Thawne : "He's never coming back." That's what happens. What about you? You could've moved on. I mean, you should've moved on. Right? But instead, you're stuck here where you were eight years ago helping Team Flash and Barry Allen instead of getting on with your life.

  Caitlin Snow : Fine. You want honesty? When I was a resident, fresh out of med school, one of the first things they taught me is that sometimes, you lose a patient. That death is a part of life. So guess what? It's your turn, because all the speed in the world can't help you outrun what's coming for you.

  Eobard Thawne : You'll save me. You'll save me, Snow. You don't have a choice.

  Caitlin Snow : And another thing: I stayed here because Barry and the rest of the team, they're not just friends, they're family. And just so we're clear, what I've been doing for the last eight years is hating you. So if you're looking for someone to save you, look somewhere else.

• Barry Allen : Why did you create a Reverse-Flashpoint, steal my life?

  Eobard Thawne : Why? It was the best way to hurt you.

  Barry Allen : Don't you have anything better to do than trying to destroy my life?

  Eobard Thawne : Destroying you *is* my life.

• Eobard Thawne : Almost two centuries from right now, we meet for the very first time. For my part, I'd finally discovered ways to possess speeds. Speeds faster than anyone alive. And just as I was about to present myself to the world... you showed up in pursuit of some stupid case, dazzled the crowd. Ah, you were dazzling. And then... and then you saved the crowd. A crowd that I was meant to save. A crowd that was meant to thank me. You stole my greatest moment. I admired you. And you humiliated me. And it was in that moment that I knew I had to get faster than you.

  Barry Allen : Only a sociopath would react to something to something so small with that kind of rage.

  Eobard Thawne : What you call rage... I call commitment.

  Barry Allen : So if you won't stop hating me, what happens once I save you?

  Eobard Thawne : I'll just go on with my life's work: finding new ways to kill you.
