- Barry Allen: Joe, what I said about you not being my father...
- Joe West: Barry, I know. I know I'm not your father.
- Barry Allen: You're right, you're not. You're just the man who kept me fed and in clothes, who sat beside my bed at night until I fell asleep because I was afraid of the dark, helped me with my homework. You taught me how to drive, and shave... and you dropped me off at college. Sounds a lot like a dad to me.
- Joe West: You haven't said anything to Iris about all this, have you?
- Barry Allen: No, I made you a promise. I keep my promises.
- Joe West: Keep on lying like that. You're liable to get struck by lightning again.
- Barry Allen: [voice over] Every kid dreams of being a superhero - having powers, saving people - but no kid thinks about what it's like to be a hero when you're NOT saving people. Truth is, not much else changes. You still hurt, you still love, you still wish and hope and fear things, and you still need people to help you with all of it. In some ways, that's the best part.
- Caitlin Snow: Barry, an armored car was just hijacked on Griffin Avenue. Get your ass over there.
- [smiles gleefully]
- Barry Allen: [over the intercom] I got it.
- Barry Allen: [voice over] Actually, the best part... it's this.
- [superspeeds away in the middle of the road]
- [last lines]
- Simon Stagg: Wells. Who the hell let you in here?
- Harrison Wells: You been having a party out there?
- Simon Stagg: Well, I'm sure you saw on TV. Former employee of mine tried to kill me.
- Harrison Wells: Former employee with the ability to replicate... faced off against a man who could move at super speed.
- Simon Stagg: You've seen him too, haven't you?
- Harrison Wells: Indeed I have.
- Simon Stagg: Extraordinary.
- [stands up]
- Simon Stagg: The power he possesses, it's like... it's like the gods of olds! Like Mercury on Earth! Could you imagine if you could control his power, if you could... if you could harness it, you could change what it means to be human. The man in the red mask is the key, and I'm gonna get him.
- Harrison Wells: [takes off his glasses] The man in the red mask. He's called the Flash... or at least he will be one day.
- [stands up from his wheelchair]
- Simon Stagg: [shocked] What the hell...?
- [Wells stabs Stagg in the stomach with a knife]
- Harrison Wells: Forgive me, Simon. I worry that you will think this is personal, and it's not. It's just that the man in the red mask, the fastest man alive... he must be kept...
- [draws his knife out of Stagg's stomach, and he falls over dead]
- Harrison Wells: ... safe.
- Barry Allen: My day job beckons.
- [runs off]
- Dr. Harrison Wells: When do you think he'll realize he didn't take his clothes?
- Barry Allen: I'm dealing with a lot right now.
- Joe West: Look, I know you are. Believe me, I'm dealing with it, too. I've always had a very simple set of beliefs. Gravity makes things fall, water makes things wet, and, up until a few weeks ago, I believed the fastest man could run a mile in four minutes, not four seconds.
- Barry Allen: I could do it in three.
- [Joe glares at Barry]
- Barry Allen: [realizing] Not relevant.
- Caitlin Snow: [to Barry] We're gonna need to fashion you a new diet based on your metabolic changes.
- Cisco Ramon: I've done a few calculations. You need to consume an amount equal to roughly 850 tacos - unless we're talking cheese and guac, which is like a whole other set of equations.
- Joe West: For Mexican, I recommend Tito's. On Bruckner Avenue? Best burrito in the city.
- Joe West: You were wrong.
- Barry Allen: I have been wrong a lot this week. You're gonna have to be more specific.
- Barry Allen: I saw Black create duplicates from his own body.
- Cisco Ramon: That's pretty ironic. The guy specialized in cloning and now he can make xeroxes of himself.
- Dr. Harrison Wells: If he was experimenting on himself when he was exposed to the dark matter wave released by the particle accelerator explosion...
- Cisco Ramon: Meet Captain Clone. Don't worry. I'll come up with something cooler.
- Joe West: [shoots a clone of Danton Black] Any more of them?
- Caitlin Snow: Nope.
- Barry Allen: Why did it start moving?
- Dr. Harrison Wells: The prime. My guess is the prime is on the move. This one heard the summons to battle.
- Joe West: And I know where he was summoned to - Stagg Industries.
- Barry Allen: You should call it in.
- Joe West: Police can't fight this. What Black's become, like Mardon... beyond me. Maybe way beyond them, too. The only person it's not beyond is you. You gotta do this. I get it. So for once in your life, do what I tell you to do. Go stop him.
- Cisco Ramon: Well, at least Multiplex won't be able to hurt anyone else. Told you I'd come up with a cool name.
- Barry Allen: Yeah, I may be the one in the suit doing all the running... but when I'm out there helping people, making a difference... you're all out there with me. Finally realized something: we were all struck by that lightning.
- Java: What the hell are you gonna do to me without your army?
- [Danton makes replicates of himself]
- Danton Black: I AM an army.
- Caitlin Snow: Have you both lost your minds? Who do you think you are?
- Cisco Ramon: Well, I'm the eyes and ears, and he is the feet.
