Quotes 

• Iris West-Allen : Okay, are we sure that DeVoe is gonna launch the machine from an airfield?

  Cisco Ramon : If he's shooting five satellites into synchronous orbit, that's the latitude he needs. And whether or not he's still moping around about his wife ditching him, he's gonna resurface. And he's gonna do it soon. When he does, I whoosh, you whoosh. She bangs.

  Barry Allen : If I get there in time. I mean, I'm still not fast enough to make it to DeVoe's pocket dimension.

  Cisco Ramon : That's why we split up. Yeah. Each one of us stakes out a different launch pad.

  Barry Allen : You're serious? I mean you've seen DeVoe in action.

  Cisco Ramon : Yeah. The guy's a one man Legion of Doom. So send the Super Friends.

  Barry Allen : Okay, but we're not at full super strength right now. I mean Joe's got the baby on the way and Caitlin's looking for Killer Frost. Harry's...

  Dr. Harry Wells : [stumbles into the room]  This chair came out of nowhere.

• Clifford DeVoe : "Once upon in some remote corner of that universe, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing."

  The Flash : You're quoting Nietzsche at me?

  Clifford DeVoe : You destroyed a satellite. Top marks, quick boy. You can destroy a thousand more and you will still march closer to the Enlightenment.

  The Flash : I forget what Nietzsche said about wiping minds. I must've skipped philosophy class...

  Clifford DeVoe : Did I teach you nothing this year? Has nothing pierced your thick cowl? Think of it. Or rather don't. You'll just end up hurting yourself, so let me explain. A world enlightened. Within a day, all soldiers will lay down their arms. Every nuclear weapon will be disarmed within six months. Poverty, famine, disease - eradicated. We will clean up the streets. People will put down their idiot phones and become curious again, and I will be there to teach them. *I* - not you - will save this godforsaken world.

  The Flash : No, you'll just control it. You want to take away free will.

  Clifford DeVoe : A pittance for humanity to pay to know peace.

  The Flash : But we won't know each other. Parents wouldn't remember their kids. Husbands won't remember their wives.

  Clifford DeVoe : Good. You hit upon precisely the point. Emotion is the father of all error. Chemicals in our brain that distract us, impede progress. And the most destructive and ridiculous imbalance of all is that thing you feebles call love. I learned this from experience, Mr. Allen. And soon... you will too.

• Gideon : Hello, Professor DeVoe.

  Barry Allen : [arriving outside the Time Vault]  No, no, no.

  [trying to vibrate in] 

  Barry Allen : Come on. Come on.

  [giving up and pounding on the door] 

  Barry Allen : DeVoe! DeVoe! DeVoe!

  Gideon : Initiating Enlightenment protocol.

  Clifford DeVoe : Let there be light.

  Caitlin Snow : [arriving as Barry sinks to the floor]  He did it.

  Cisco Ramon : The Enlightenment.

  Caitlin Snow : What are we gonna do?

  Barry Allen : I don't know.

• The Flash : Perimeter's secure. Once we're inside, we'll have less than a second. I'll activate the plates, draw their charge.

  Vibe : I'll lay the breachlings.

  Caitlin Snow : And I'll protect the A.R.G.U.S. agents from the blast using this... ice shooter.

  Vibe : Ice shooter.

  Caitlin Snow : Do I have to call it an ice shooter?

  The Flash : I thought "Frostbite" sounded good.

  Vibe : Guys, it solves the friction offset problem by shooting ice, therefore it's an ice shooter. You call it an ice shooter.

  The Flash : Relax.

  Vibe : It's just not that hard.

• Cisco Ramon : You figure it out yet?

  Barry Allen : No. I-I shut down the generator. I can save the hostages, but DeVoe still gets away, and then, you know.

  Cisco Ramon : Actually, I meant have you figured out how come you lost your damn mind?

  Barry Allen : Okay. Look, I'm sorry. I'm just...

  Cisco Ramon : You're just trying to keep us safe. I know. It's starting to sound real familiar coming out of your mouth.

• Barry Allen : You're not ready to use Flashtime. Not like that.

  Cisco Ramon : We will be ready if you train us.

  Barry Allen : It takes more than ten hours to learn superspeed. Okay? You guys could die in there.

  Cisco Ramon : And if you don't take us, we'll die anyway. Our brains get wiped, and that's it. That's the end of our world.

  Barry Allen : No! Lo... losing both of my best friends and it being my fault, that's the end of my world. You may think it's worth the risk, but I couldn't live with myself.

  Cisco Ramon : [pointing to their picture of Ralph]  Barry. You cannot sideline us because of what happened to him.

  Barry Allen : All right. I don't need another therapist.

  Cisco Ramon : Look, we all lost somebody, okay? But that never gives us an excuse to shut each other out.

• Cisco Ramon : You think you're the only one who feels bad about Ralph dying?

  Caitlin Snow : Guys...

  Barry Allen : You know he came to see me at Iron Heights? He told me he was afraid. He warned me he wasn't ready. But I pushed him anyway. I said go back out there and do my job. My burden.

  Cisco Ramon : We made the bus metas. We gave Ralph his powers. You wanna talk about burdens? I started this. I shot that bazooka. I opened up the Speed Force, and I didn't do it so you can stand here and tell me you're gonna save the world alone again.

  Barry Allen : I... I know that. And I know we're running out of time, and... I can't do this by myself, but... everybody I've tried to teach has ended up worse than when I found them.

  Cisco Ramon : And what about Ralph? Was he worse? You taught him that when his back was against the wall and the world was ending around him, he could always make the choice. Make the choice to be a hero. We deserve that same choice. All we need is someone to show us how.

  Barry Allen : You guys really wanna do this?

  Caitlin Snow : It's not a burden if we shoulder it together.

• Iris West-Allen : I got a tip about Fallout, but it's been scrambled by Kilg%re's code.

  Cisco Ramon : Hmm, not anymore. Consider it unscrambled.

  Barry Allen : [reading the message]  DeVoe. Where's A.R.G.U.S. keeping Borman? Do we know?

  Iris West-Allen : I-I can't ping Lyla, but I can try Dig.

  Barry Allen : I'll just go get him.

  Caitlin Snow : [he speeds away]  Uh...

  Cisco Ramon : Trash can.

  Iris West-Allen : Ooh, how about the recycling?

  Caitlin Snow : Nope.

  Cisco Ramon : [grabbing a mesh can]  I got it, I got it.

  Caitlin Snow : Really?

  Cisco Ramon : [taking a more sturdy can from her]  Seemed like a good idea at the time.

  Barry Allen : [returning with Dig]  Sorry, man.

  [Dig grabs the can from Cisco and vomits] 

  Barry Allen : I'm sorry.

  [Dig groans and takes a water bottle from Iris] 

  Barry Allen : Can we just... I'm sorry.

  John Diggle : I hate you.
