- Cisco Ramon: Speaking of going out, Kamilla and I are doing shawarma Tuesday, so I'm gonna mosey. Of course, moseying is a lot harder these days post-Vibe showing up to a date in a S.T.A.R. Lab van, not a good look.
- Cecile Horton: Mm, no. I'll give you a ride.
- Cisco Ramon: And risk looking like my mom just dropped me off?
- Cecile Horton: Ooh, even better, you can walk.
- Cisco Ramon: Okay, I'm coming.
- Barry Allen: What do you want?
- Mar Novu: For your universe to survive.
- Iris West-Allen: The plinth... you destroyed it. You destroyed Nora's message.
- Mar Novu: An unfortunate side effect. But I needed to discourage you.
- Barry Allen: From doing what?
- Mar Novu: Hoping. Your determination is boundless, Flash - it is one of your greatest qualities - but you cannot avoid the coming Crisis.
- Iris West-Allen: Barry has five years before he vanishes.
- Mar Novu: No longer. December 10, 2019. On that day, he will answer the call and make the ultimate sacrifice. Soon... this world will fight for the fate of all the known universes.
- Barry Allen: I'm not going to leave my family. There has to be a way to stop what's coming.
- Mar Novu: I am sorry, but the events have been set in to motion that you cannot possibly comprehend.
- Barry Allen: I don't need to understand them! Just tell me what I can do.
- Mar Novu: To survive? You can't. In order for billions to survive this coming Crisis, the Flash must die.
- Cisco Ramon: That is a whole lot of information to disseminate.
- Caitlin Snow: No one's ever extrapolated that much data from a black hole before.
- Barry Allen: We can be the first. Come on, we're Team Flash.
- Cisco Ramon: [to Caitlin] What did you put in his coffee?
- Cisco Ramon: [playing "Flash" by Queen] I've been saving this for the right moment since day one.
- Iris West-Allen: Really, Cisco.
- Cisco Ramon: The guy is running in and out of a black hole.
- Iris West-Allen: Good point.
- Barry Allen: [sipping a margarita] Mm. Damn, this is good.
- Caitlin Snow: You know you can't get drunk.
- Barry Allen: I don't even care; that's how good this is.
- Cisco Ramon: You're looking at the world's first inverse mass angular momentum disruptor, but we can just call it a stellar grenade.
- Barry Allen: Cool. So this will destroy the black hole?
- Cisco Ramon: As long as it doesn't get much bigger, this will reverse the hole's mass-collecting properties, causing it to...
- [sucks air]
- Cisco Ramon: Implode. Just toss it into the event horizon, hasta la lasagna, don't any on you.
- Cecile Horton: Chester is doing so much better. I mean, don't get me wrong, he's still, you know, glowing in the eyes with orange dark energy, but he's in really good spirits.
- Barry Allen: How long until he gets out?
- Cisco Ramon: Caitlin says his molecule need to restabilize at the subatomic level. My guess he'll need to cook in the MAC for another four to six weeks, maybe more, until he's back to normal.
- Cecile Horton: Well, believe me, he is more than happy to chill here at S.T.A.R. Labs in the meantime. And when he does get out, that boy knows exactly what he wants to do.
- Iris West-Allen: Mm, definitely gonna ask Natalie out.
- Ralph Dibny: Guess everything's coming up frosty, huh?
- Killer Frost: Yeah, I guess. Where do I start? How do you, you know, live a life?
- Ralph Dibny: With a life coach, of course.
- [puts down "Book of Ralph, Vol. 2" book]
- Ralph Dibny: So, first thing's first: the name "Killer", a little bit too much for some folks. Have you thought about changing it? My mom's middle name is Anne.
- Iris West-Allen: So, what made you believe that you could carry Chester out of that place?
- Barry Allen: You made me believe I could do it. I realized we could be each other's support group, even though it's gonna take some time. If we can carry a memory like this together in our hearts, carrying carrying somebody's consciousness out of a black hole? It's a piece of cake. Besides, how else could I get this back for you?
- [he opens the door to the Time Vault, revealing Nora's XS jacket]
- Barry Allen: I know it's not as good as Nora's video...
- Iris West-Allen: It's better. Now we have something that we can honor Nora with.
- Barry Allen: She was pretty schway.
- Barry Allen: What were you doing out here anyway?
- Iris West-Allen: I was following up on a lead. The Citizen got a tip that there were a series of junkyard robberies.
- Barry Allen: People file police reports for stolen trash?
- Iris West-Allen: Yeah, well, you know, not everything that's here is garbage.
- Cisco Ramon: [nearby, kicking trash out of his way] Everything here is garbage! I hate garbage.
- Iris West-Allen: Okay, have fun with Ghostbusters. I'll see you at home.
- Barry Allen: What do you got?
- Cisco Ramon: This site is littered - no pun intended - with gamma rays and magnetar fields.
- Barry Allen: What are you saying? Iris was attacked by a...
- Cisco Ramon: Yeah, a frakkin' black hole.
- The Flash: Chester? Can you hear me? Come back here, to us, to this body, to yourself.
- Chester P. Runk: [wakes up] What up, party people? Hey-hey, you're the Flash. With the speeding around and the lightning and all that. Big fan, man, big fan. Also, where am I?
- Kamilla Hwang: Why is it every time I come to visit there's always a crisis?
- Cisco Ramon: Comes with the meta-territory. 750 mph. He's getting faster.
- Kamilla Hwang: Who is this guy?
- Cisco Ramon: An old family friend. His name's Godspeed and he's from the future. He's like a fake speedster.
- [the Flash runs into action and gains on Godspeed]
- Kamilla Hwang: What's that?
- Cisco Ramon: The real deal.
- Kamilla Hwang: Kick his butt, Barry!
- The Flash: Done and doner.
- Barry Allen: How's the MAC coming?
- Kamilla Hwang: There's mac and cheese too?
- Caitlin Snow: No, the Mental Augmentation Chamber. Basically, it allows us into the Speed Force to boost Barry's cognitive abilities. It would allow him to see every possible outcome to a scenario at the same time.
- Kamilla Hwang: So speed-thinking.
- Barry Allen: Which means we'll be able to catch the bad guys faster.
- Caitlin Snow: With all the ones that you brought in this summer, Barry, the DA's office can barely keep up with you.
- The Flash: He's just like the others: no language skills, just noise.
- Cisco Ramon: Lovely.
- Kamilla Hwang: What was that?
- Cisco Ramon: The fourth Godspeed we've caught this summer and still no sign of Mr. August Heart. Just another dummy who can't communicate anything beyond modem speak. All right, I'm clocking out. Why don't you drop off G4 at Iron Heights, Barry? I don't think we're figuring out this mystery today.
- Iris West-Allen: This is nice, dad. We should do this way more often.
- Joe West: Agreed. Hey, before I forget, congratulations on the Citizen.
- Iris West-Allen: Yeah, well, you know, there's millions of people in Central City and I've only got a couple hundred thousand subscribers. You know, I'm no CCPN.
- Joe West: Well, not yet, but in about ten years, it'll be a Pulitzer Prize-winning empire.
- Iris West-Allen: Baby steps, dad.
- Barry Allen: Hey, since the MAC's done, we should take it for a test run.
- Cisco Ramon: Absolutely not. You know we're still working out diagnostics.
- Barry Allen: We could put in a few hours tonight, get a head start.
- Cisco Ramon: Barry... if there's anything I've learned since leaving Vibe behind, is that we all have a work/life balance to protect, and right now, mine is tipping towards more beer. Besides, I still gotta tweak the mainframe, and I can't do all that without...
- Cecile Horton: [Barry speeds away and back] Every time.
- Cisco Ramon: ...my tablet.
- Joe West: Hey, so the last time I talked to you guys, you seemed good. You guys good?
- Barry Allen: Um... we were devastated at first, but Nora's only gone for right now. We're gonna have kids someday, and then we'll have another Nora.
- Iris West-Allen: Yeah. I think knowing that we have a second chance makes all the difference.
- Iris West-Allen: Dad, um, I meant to ask you, what did you do with those boxes that were in the back of the garage?
- Cecile Horton: Oh, he finally threw them away. Thank you very much.
- Iris West-Allen: Okay, I gotta make a call.
- Caitlin Snow: Guys, I'm sorry. I actually have to sneak out, too. A friend of mine from med school needs my support. Thanks for having me; it was delicious.
- Joe West: Bye, Caitlin.
- [to Cecile]
- Joe West: You notice ain't nobody help clean up?
- Dr. Ramsey Rosso: My name is Ramsey Rosso, and my mother, Dr. Rachel Rosso, was everything to me. When I was seven, I skidded out pretty badly on a bike she bought me for my birthday. Imagine a scared kid with two scraped knees and a bloody nose. When mum found me, she picked me right up, she brushed me off, and told me to get back on my bike and ride. I tried, but I couldn't. It was almost like I was paralyzed, it hurt so bad. That's when she told me that I would heal. That I must never let a little pain stop me from getting to where I needed to go in life, and she was right. I did heal. Enough to grow up and follow in her footsteps. And even though a beautiful life was cut short when she lost her battle to heal herself, she is still helping me to get to where I need to go today. And for that, I will always be grateful.
- Caitlin Snow: I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother was an incredible woman. I'm gonna miss her.
- Dr. Ramsey Rosso: It means so much that you came. Mum actually saw something of herself in you. Probably because you're both overachievers.
- [taking her hands]
- Dr. Ramsey Rosso: Your hands are so cold.
- [she turns around to conceal her frosting-over eyes]
- Dr. Ramsey Rosso: Are you all right?
- Caitlin Snow: [turning back as they return to normal] Yeah. Sorry, I'm fine. I'm probably just coming down with something.
- Dr. Ramsey Rosso: Well, I hope not. Doctors make rubbish patients.
- Dr. Ramsey Rosso: Things have been a bit, um, crazy. Do you fancy coming around for a cuppa sometime? You know, for a proper catch-up. I could really use someone to talk to right now.
- Caitlin Snow: Of course. Anytime. Just give me a call.
- [first lines]
- Barry Allen: It's a system-wide power surge.
- Iris West-Allen: It's coming from the Time Vault.
- [the computers power down]
- Iris West-Allen: Are we under attack?
- Barry Allen: I don't know. Whatever's going on started the moment we left.
- [speeds away to the Time Vault]
