Quotes 

• Barry Allen : I mean, this is crazy. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people in Central City and, out of everyone you could have picked to rob, you pick me.

  Mugger : What, are you sick? Money. Now.

  Barry Allen : I just... You're really gonna be kicking yourself, man. I mean, if there was an Olympics for bad luck, you didn't just medal, pal. You Michael Phelps-ed.

• Detective Eddie Thawne : His face is melted off. How's that picture gonna help I.D. him?

  Barry Allen : I have mad skills.

  Joe West : Please don't ever say that again.

• [Joe knocks Barry's mug off the table and it smashes on the floor] 

  Joe West : You didn't catch it.

  Barry Allen : I loved that mug. And what part of "a meta-human stole my speed" didn't you understand?

• William Tockman : That's a quality time piece, young man.

  Barry Allen : Oh, uh, thanks.

  William Tockman : They took mine, all of them.

  Barry Allen : Guess you shouldn't have done whatever it is you did.

• Barry Allen : You think I'll ever wear it again?

  Caitlin Snow : I hope so.

  Barry Allen : I didn't have my speed for very long, but now that it's gone, it feels like part of me is gone, too.

  Caitlin Snow : With or without your speed, you're still you, Barry.

  Barry Allen : But I'm not. I'm not the best version of me. I love being the Flash. I love everything about it. The feeling of running hundreds of miles per hour, wind and power just rushing past my face, being able to help people. I'm not sure I can live without it, Caitlyn.

• Dr. Harrison Wells : Where's Barry? He's late.

  Caitlin Snow : Late is kind of his signature move.

  Cisco Ramon : Hey, uh, you guys want to see MY signature move?

  [Barry runs inside S.T.A.R. Labs] 

  Barry Allen : Sorry, guys, I got a little held up. You had to be there.

• Iris West : Oh, now you show up.

  The Flash : I'm sorry I wasn't there for you today. It couldn't be helped.

  Iris West : It's okay. A girl's gotta be her own hero every now and again.

  The Flash : I promise I'll never be late again.

  Iris West : My best friend is always saying that, and he is always late.

  The Flash : You're worth being on time for.

• Dr. Harrison Wells : Now, may I remind you, Mr. Allen, we had an agreement. We would help with your heroics out there while you would help us research and develop your abilities in here, right?

  Barry Allen : Yeah. No, I know. I-I-I guess I've just gotten a little bit caught up with being able to help people. Yeah, put bad guys away. It feels good.

  Dr. Harrison Wells : Imagine how good it would feel to cure diseases, stop aging, reverse paralysis.

  Barry Allen : All good causes. So, ah, how can I help you do that? You need more MRI's, more blood, or...

  Dr. Harrison Wells : I need more speed.

  Barry Allen : Okay.

  Dr. Harrison Wells : Speed is the key to progress. You need to kick it up a notch.

• Barry Allen : Tony might have been a bully then and now, but he didn't deserve to die.

  Dr. Harrison Wells : Does Caitlyn or Cisco or me or you? I had a choice to make: him or us. I chose us without a second thought.

  Barry Allen : Well, all your talk about miracle cures and scientific breakthroughs, but you don't care about people at all.

  Dr. Harrison Wells : Well, maybe you care too much, Barry. I know being a hero is important to you. I respect your ideals. I just don't have the luxury of sharing them.

  Barry Allen : I forgot. Your game's chess. We're all just pawns to you, right? So what's your move, doctor? Which one of us gets sacrificed next?

• Dr. Harrison Wells : I know the names of every person who died that night. I know they all mattered, and the fact that the world is now deprived of their potential is something I have to life with every day, but these people... these people have done nothing wrong. You want to punish me? Fine, let's do that, but let these people live.

  Farooq Gibran : You died that night, too.

  [fires lightning bolt at him, knocking Dr. Wells out of his wheelchair] 

  Barry Allen : No!

  Farooq Gibran : You just didn't know it till today.
