John Wesley Shipp: Jay Garrick

Quotes 

• Bart Allen : It was so good to see Uncle Jay and Aunt Joan again. Is it weird that seeing Uncle Jay alive just made me miss him more?

  [with a rumble, a green wave of energy passes through the room] 

  Bart Allen : What was that?

  Nora Allen : I... I have no idea.

  Jay Garrick : [coming in with bags of fast food]  Okay, kids. I come bearing cheeseburgers. Who's hungry?

  Nora Allen : [stunned to see him]  Uncle Jay.

  Jay Garrick : You were expecting someone else?

• Jay Garrick : Wait, so I was dead, killed by Godspeed?

  Bart Allen : Uncle Jay, I'm so sorry for screwing up the timeline, and if that means I can't ever be The Flash... I understand.

  Jay Garrick : Well, I'm sorry. Are you kidding me? If screwing up the timeline was a deal breaker, your dad couldn't be The Flash. Heck, when I first started to time travel, I ended up fighting Nazis in Word Ward II, and then lived on and off in the past for 16 years. But that was another lifetime.

  Bart Allen : So you-you're not mad?

  Jay Garrick : I'm alive. Right? My Joan is back. Why would I be mad? Bart, you're on a journey - both of you. You're gonna make mistakes, and sometimes... they can't be undone. But you can always try to make things better. Right? And that's what you did today. Now, I gotta get out of here. I got an important meeting with President Luthor.

  Bart Allen , Nora Allen : President Luthor?

  Jay Garrick : Gotcha.

• Bart Allen : So are, um, Mom and Pops gonna be swingin' by anytime soon?

  Jay Garrick : Aren't they in Milan for their anniversary at La Verita Rustica?

  Nora Allen : Right.

  Bart Allen : Yeah.

  Nora Allen : Yes, the anniversary of their wedding vow renewal. Hmm? Um, but the rest of Team Flash can pop by, right?

  Jay Garrick : Well, they're all kind of busy, which you already know. Now, why the third degree?

• Jay Garrick : When that psychopath Godspeed came for me a few months ago, I thought my race might be finally finished. But then Impulse saved the day; prevented Godspeed from destroying our total reality. Just like your dad always does. That's how I know you'll make a great Flash one day, Bart.

  [his watch whirrs] 

  Jay Garrick : Oh, Aunt Rose... sends her love. Her botany club's running late again.

  Nora Allen : Who's Aunt Rose?

  Jay Garrick : Rose. My wife. What is up with you two tonight?
