Iris West Quotes

Barry, I am very good at bossing my little brother around.

Barry Allen: That's him.
Iris West: Oh. He's handsome in a square-jawwed Oliver Queen kind of way.
Barry Allen: For real?
Iris West: Babe, you know I've only got eyes for you.

Iris West: Can I help you, detective?
Detective Eddie Thawne: You can stop acting you can't stand me when your dad's around.
Iris West: Aww. And I like having a boyfriend who isn't shot to death.

Iris West: Dad, we have something, um, that we need to tell you. Dad, the thing is...
Joe West: You two are dating. I know.
Iris West: You do?
Joe West: I'm a detective, remember? And both of you are lousy liars.
Eddie Thawne: So you're not mad?
Joe West: Oh, I'm mad. If the doctor hadn't confiscated my gun, we'd be having an entirely different conversation.

Barry Allen: How you doing?
Iris West-Allen: They say the first year of marriage is always the hardest, but I never thought my husband being on trial for murder would be one of the challenges.

Barry Allen: How is it we live together, work together, sleep in the same bed together, but it still feels like we don't spend any real time as husband and wife?
Dr. Harry Wells: Allen, West-Allen, Cortex, now!
Iris West-Allen: I have no idea.

Nobody breaks up my family, you son of a bitch.

King Shark versus Gorilla Grodd? Are you kidding me? I missed that?

So, Barry, how was your trip? Did you find proof of the impossible in Starling City, or did you just make my dad mad for no reason?

Our entire lives, you couldn't scream loud enough that the impossible existed. And now it's actually happening in Central City. I have proof of it, and you don't want to know about it? That doesn't make sense, Barry. So when you're ready to tell me what this whole routine is really about, then we can talk.

To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to do something first. You need to believe in the impossible. Can you do that? Good. Because all of us, we have forgotten what miracles look like, maybe because they haven't made much of an appearance lately. Our lives have become ordinary, but there's someone out there who is truly extraordinary. I don't know where you came from, I don't know your name, but I have seen you do the impossible to protect the city I love; so, for those of us who believe in you and what you're doing, I just want to say thank you.

Today, I was saved by the impossible. A mystery man. The fastest man alive. Then a friend gave me an idea for a new name, and something tells me it's gonna catch on.

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.

The Flash: I've got to run.
Iris West: I bet you say that to all the girls.
The Flash: What other girls?

Eric Larkin: Everyone, welcome Iris West, our new cub.
Iris West: Hi.
Eric Larkin: Anyone want to volunteer to be her mama bear? Mason, you picked a bad day to actually show up.
Mason Bridge: I don't nanny.
Eric Larkin: I lost the ability to make a joke back in '05. Today, you do.

James Jesse: Well, hello. You know, I've been in prison for twenty years.
Iris West: Then you'll know the routine when you get sent back.

Felicity Smoak: It is so fun to watch grown men play with their toys.
Caitlin Snow: You're so lucky. Ray's so nice and smart and hot.
Felicity Smoak: Yeah, it's kind of like I'm dating Barry but in Oliver's body. A sentence you will never repeat to anyone.

Think about your best friend. It could be your wife, your father, maybe someone you grew up with. It's the person you can't wait to talk to at the end of the day, the person that knows everything about you, who roots for you. Now imagine your best friend had a secret. No, not a secret. A universe of secrets. Would you confront him? Would you stay silent? Either way, you know nothing will ever be the same again.

I don't understand. Everyday you guys figure out a way to help people. All of The Flash's powers and all of this equipment and you can't save Eddie and my dad?

Iris West: You were kidnapped for nearly two weeks and your first thought is to go back to work?
Detective Eddie Thawne: I just needed something constant in my life.
Iris West: I thought that was us.

Iris West: You look just like him.
Dr. Harry Wells: I'm guessing my counterpart did something to offend her as well?
Cisco Ramon: Her fiancé died because of him.

Joe West: That was a hell of an idea you had, bringing Henry here.
Iris West: Well, he may not have his mother, but he's got two amazing fathers. Seemed like he needed both.

Iris West: I had to fight some old lady for the last one. They didn't have any Green Arrow dolls.
Joe West: Don't nobody want a toy of that crazy man.

Iris West: Barry, I wish a year ago you had told me the truth.
Barry Allen: So, what, you think that I should just tell her?
Iris West: I think that if you are serious about being with her, you have to.

Wally West: I don't need a big sister.
Iris West: I know. You're gonna need an undertaker.

Dr. Harry Wells: Your husband tells us you've been tracking Zoom.
Iris West-Allen: Yeah. I've been trying to. Why?
Cisco Ramon: We need to find his lair.
Dr. Harry Wells: Lair?
Cisco Ramon: He's a bad guy; I'm calling it a lair.

Joe West: I don't suppose my home owners insurance covers a "Sharknado" attack.
Wally West: I-I don't understand you people. Jaws busts through your house like the Kool-Aid Man, The Flash shows up, and y'all act like it's no big deal.
Iris West: Yeah, well, we've had a lot of weird things happen in Central City over the past two years.
Wally West: Weirder than a talking shark wearing pants?

Iris West: So Eliza just evaporated from running too fast?
Caitlin Snow: Looks like cellular degeneration, same as Jay's.
Joe West: Jay warned us V-9 was dangerous. Least now we know why.

Jesse Wells: Biochem was one of my majors in college.
Barry Allen: One of your majors? How many did you have?
Jesse Wells: Five.
Jesse Wells: What? Is that not common here?
Iris West: Girl, no, that is not common anywhere.

Iris West: I didn't think this hologram thing was gonna work, but so far, so good.
Cisco Ramon: I mean, I figured if they could get 2Pac rapping again at concert, we could definitely get The Flash running around Central City.

Iris West: Dad, do you really think that he's a meta-human?
Joe West: Well, he got zapped by the Particle Accelerator and he was unconscious. It was worth a shot.
Iris West: I gave you that mug.

Joe West: Is that what I look like when they're... start talking about science?
Iris West: Pretty much.

Joe West: Oh, I get it.
Barry Allen: What?
Joe West: No. I do not approve.
Iris West: Hi, Barry.
Barry Allen: Hey.
Iris West: Dad.
Joe West: Iris. You think it's a good idea, dating someone I work with?
Iris West: It's just a lunch. And truthfully, I wasn't even sure you still worked here.

Barry Allen: I was actually thinking, um, that maybe it'd be fun if we all went away together for a few days. Just like a little Team Flash vacay.
Iris West: And do what?
Barry Allen: Bond. Reconnect.
Caitlin Snow: You mean like a retreat?
Barry Allen: Nah.
Iris West: With trust exercises?
Cisco Ramon: Epic fail, party of six.

John Kane: Where are you taking me?
Iris West: Frankie is coming for you. As much as it pains me to help an abusive dick like you, I can't let you die.

Barry Allen: What are you doing?
Iris West: Do these pants make my butt look big?

Iris West: So how long have you known about these Dominators?
Lyla Michaels: Since the '50s.
Joe West: That was them. Redmond, Oregon. The government tried to cover it up. What? I watch Syfy channel.

Barry Allen: Holy winter wonderland. Took the words right out of my mouth.
Iris West: Well, I guess Earth-19's Christmas is just like ours.
H.R. Wells: Some traditions are multi-versal.

Barry Allen: We're gonna need all the help we can get. Can you talk to Joe, see if he can rally CCPD?
Iris West: Yeah, yeah, I'll let him know that an army of sentient gorillas is about to storm the city. He's gonna love that.

Iris West: We need to go to whatever world they're in.
H.R. Wells: How are we gonna do that?
Iris West: Look, he said if we loved them enough that we could save them, wherever they are. Cisco, you can vibe us there.
Cisco Ramon: I don't think it works that way.
Iris West: You sent me into the Speed Force. You sent Barry and Wally to the future. You can do this, too.
J'onn J'onzz: What is she talking about?
Mon-El: What's a vibe?
Cisco Ramon: I'll explain later.

Cecile Horton: Okay, so, break it down. How did it happen?
Iris West: Um... we were at the apartment, and, um, Barry sang to me. And then he proposed.
Cecile Horton: Oh, my God, that's so romantic. You sing?
Barry Allen: Not as good as Joe.
Joe West: Shut up, Barry.

Joe West: So, you said there was an emergency. Where's the fire?
Cecile Horton: Ah, it's funny you should put it like that. Lucius Coolidge.
Barry Allen: Who?
Iris West: Heat Monger.
Cecile Horton: The worst arsonist Central City's seen since Mick Rory went off the grid. That is until Flash here stopped him.
Barry Allen: What's Flash?

All these months, you were trying to save me from him. Look at that; I saved you.

My name is Iris West, and I was supposed to marry the fastest man alive, but six months ago, he left. I promised him I'd run, so that's what I've been doing these last six months, running.

Barry Allen: Iris, it's not like I wanted to leave you. I had to put on a brave face, for everyone. But it was killing me inside. And I think part of why I didn't talk it through with you is I was afraid. I was afraid that you would tell me to stay. And I wouldn't have been strong enough not to.
Iris West: Barry, how do you know what I'm going to say if you don't ask me? I am here to help you, especially when everything seems lost. But you have to let me.
Barry Allen: But sometimes it's not about us. Or the team. Sometimes the weight of the whole city falls on my shoulders, and it's up to me to carry it. I'm the Flash.
Iris West: See, that's what you don't get. When I put this ring on my finger, it wasn't just about you or me anymore. It's about us. You are not the Flash, Barry. We are.

Iris West: Hey, so we ran the sketches you made us through the CCP database, and...
Joe West: Her name's Becky Sharpe. She's twenty-four years old, no priors.
Barry Allen: No priors? Then why is she in the database?
Joe West: Because in the last three years she's lived in Central City, she's been rear-ended four times, her identity stolen twice.
Iris West: A cat burglar literally burgled her cat.

Iris West: Looks like someone tossed this place.
Barry Allen: Yeah. Probably the same guys that hung Dibny off the roof.
Iris West: Why do you think?
Barry Allen: I dunno. Guy like that probably has a long list of people that wanna toss him off rooftops.

Iris West: Looks like our meta isn't restricted to animating just stone.
Barry Allen: No, but she does have some limitations. Out of all the artifacts in the office, she could only control the knight.
Caitlin Snow: So then maybe her psychic imprint abilities are just restricted to effigies.
Barry Allen: It just means "statues."
Ralph Dibny: Yeah, I don't know. Sounds kinda dirty.

Iris West-Allen: This is, like, a lifetime supply of store credit. Why would Rory think that we needed forty toasters?
Barry Allen: He said that there was some kind of fire sale.
Iris West-Allen: He stole them.
Barry Allen: He definitely stole them.

Joe West: Sylbert Rundine.
Iris West-Allen: Why does every villain in this city have a name that sounds like it came out of a comic book?

Dr. Harry Wells: What's that? What are you guys doing? What are those faces?
Iris West-Allen: When Savitar came to S.T.A.R. Labs, he said we would build a device to use against DeVoe.
Barry Allen: The cerebral inhibitor.
Dr. Harry Wells: I wish I'd known that before I spent all this time trying to come up with a second name. Naming is hard.

Iris West-Allen: So Izzy Bowin can control music.
Cisco Ramon: More like soundwaves.
Ralph Dibny: Soundwave. That's a great name.
Cisco Ramon: It would be, if it wasn't already taken by a Transformer.

Joe West: When I mentioned spending more time together, I meant family barbecues, not questioning people of interest.
Iris West-Allen: I know. I just want people to know that I am not afraid to go out in the field every once in a while.
Joe West: Well, who says you are?
Iris West-Allen: Ralph.
Joe West: Ralph? He should talk. He won't even leave the building.

Barry Allen: What?
Iris West-Allen: Nothing. It's just... you went out into the field, you had a plan, and... it didn't work.
Barry Allen: But they do for DeVoe. Harry's not wrong. DeVoe's gone over every possible outcome before making his plans.
Iris West-Allen: Which we can't do, and neither can Harry.
Barry Allen: Well, then what are we supposed to do? I mean, you just want us to ad-lib like Ralph wants us to?
Iris West-Allen: Barry, you didn't see it, but when you were gone, Ralph rose to the occasion. He cracked jokes. He thought outside the box. I mean, he got the job done in the way that he knows how. So, the question is, are you upset with Ralph because you think he's screwing around or because he's not following your plan?

Marlize DeVoe: Ah... Mrs. West-Allen, I was hoping we'd meet again.
Iris West-Allen: You might change your mind about that pretty soon.
Marlize DeVoe: Ah... there's that passion from our chat in the courthouse. But I do remember warning you that it could easily be destroyed.
Iris West-Allen: And I remember you asking me what I was willing to do for my husband. How about I show you?

Barry Allen: What are we dealing with?
Joe West: Uh, first of all, we're trying to determine what was in that vault. Watch your step right here. Uh, there was no drilling, there was no lock picked. And the only thing anyone about what was in the vault was that it was some sort of secretive technology. Also, security guard here was a 24 year old, apparently shot himself.
Iris West-Allen: Wait, a robbery and a suicide?
Joe West: He was newly married. Has an infant at home. This is smelling like some meta madness to me.
Barry Allen: Who else can Kilg%re a retinal scan and Dibny a vault lock?

Amunet Black: Just when I thought I'd considered every option for where Norvock might be skulking, I remembered whenever the fuzz used to be on to one of our deals, I would plant a rumor that it was going down at a false location.
Joe West: Ah, a fake-out to keep "the fuzz" off your tracks.
Amunet Black: Mm!
Caitlin Snow: So that's where we think Norvock is, in the abandoned Reynolds substation.
Iris West-Allen: Underground. That's why the shards weren't registering on the satelite.
Barry Allen: All right, why don't the three of us go get your shards? When we'll be armed and ready to take out DeVoe's satellites.
Caitlin Snow: I'm coming, too. I'll get the cold gun.

Marlize DeVoe: It's rude to break into a person's home uninvited. And dangerous when the person is holding a grudge and a katana. Why are you here?
Dr. Harry Wells: I got this. We're here, Marlize... we're here because you... because... Wait, uh, you... You have... You - you've... I can't. I can't.
Marlize DeVoe: He can't verbalize it. Not anymore. Just like we hypothesized but never observed before. You're experiencing the penultimate stages of the Enlightenment. Your mind is being rebooted. Soon you will be with memories, without relationships. Just a blank slate so that Clifford may re-educate you. Soon we'll all be just like you.
Iris West-Allen: Marlize, we have to stop him. Your husband has gone too far, and I think you know it, or you'd be with him right now.
Marlize DeVoe: Yes, I left my husband. But that doesn't change the fact that he's right. If anything, his betrayal proves his very point. Man corrupts even the best of ideas.
Iris West-Allen: Pessimism isn't smarter than optimism. In this life the bravest thing you can be is optimistic.
Marlize DeVoe: Familiar words.
Iris West-Allen: You said them when you were at Oxford. Two weeks before you met Clifford DeVoe.
Marlize DeVoe: I gave a speech on technology and the elimination of world hunger. I truly believed it could be done.
Iris West-Allen: He tried to change you, Marlize. But I think deep down, you are still an optimist. You still believe in humanity. And I believe in you. You asked me what I was willing to do for my husband. And I'm gonna ask you. What are you willing to do for the world?:

Joe West: Damn.
Iris West-Allen: Dad.
Joe West: You found my spot.
Iris West-Allen: You knew about this?
Joe West: I've been napping in here since day one.
Barry Allen: Uh, well, Nora was gonna stay here, if that's all right with you.
Joe West: Okay, well, now I can get to know my granddaughter.

Iris West-Allen: Why didn't you guys tells us about this before?
Caitlin Snow: Oh, my God.
Cecile Horton: Barry never returns?
Joe West: That's why you came here. To see your father, because you were raised without him.

Joe West: He made these comments about family and cherishing them. And then the way he picked up Jenna's blanket, and I got this... feeling when I looked in his eyes.
Iris West-Allen: What... what kind of feeling?
Joe West: I think Cicada's a father.

Iris West-Allen: The dagger part still doesn't make sense. I mean, things cannot become metas, right?
Barry Allen: I don't know about that. Our satellite didn't just create new metas. It created meta-tech.
Iris West-Allen: Which puts meta-human abilities in the hands of anyone.

Iris West-Allen: Tripped alarm at Central City Art Gallery. Someone stole a Monet.
Barry Allen: At 10:00 a.m.? That's bold.

Iris West-Allen: I'll drive.
Ralph Dibny: Actually, I wanna try something. Saw it in a comic book.

Iris West-Allen: How are we supposed to investigate when you're making tea, Sherloque?
Sherloque Wells: Well, you seem very annoyed, mademoiselle.
Nora West-Allen: No shrap, Sherlock.
Sherloque Wells: Sherloque.
Nora West-Allen: Sorry for the language, Mom.

Iris West-Allen: Barry? Nora, do you see him?
XS: I, uh... I...
XS: I see him. He's still here.

Iris West-Allen: What's going on?
Caitlin Snow: I-I'm seeing a massive electrical surge at the power station downtown.
Iris West-Allen: Barry, Nora, you're up.

Iris West-Allen: I guess you forgot you can't get drunk?
Oliver Queen: This day could not get any worse.

Iris West-Allen: Being a parent sure is hard sometimes.
Barry Allen: Yeah, it is. But there's nothing like it.

Iris West-Allen: Don't give up, okay? Growth is growth.
Nora West-Allen: Normal axon growth rate reaches five millimeters a day in a large nerve. With speed healing, mine should be over a hundred.
Iris West-Allen: How do you know that?
Nora West-Allen: I took neuro-regeneration in my fifth grade STEM class.
Iris West-Allen: I took fractions in fifth grade.
Nora West-Allen: What if I don't heal, mom? What if I never get better?
Nora West-Allen: Can I just be left alone for a little bit, please?

Barry Allen: Well, what do you think?
Iris West-Allen: Looks great.
Barry Allen: I mean, I can move the couch against the wall, if that'll help.
Barry Allen: Iris, it's just couch in the corner or against the wall is pretty much the extent of my interior design knowledge.

Caitlin Snow: We ran city-wide racial recognition scans.
Iris West-Allen: And scanned for dark matter signals from Cicada's dagger.
Barry Allen: That was our last shot at confronting Cicada.
Iris West-Allen: We don't know that. The change in the timeline, that photo that Nora saw at the Flash Museum, it could be different now.
Caitlin Snow: Maybe it doesn't even exist.
Sherloque Wells: After all, the timeline is malleable.

Barry Allen: What are you doing?
Iris West-Allen: I'm giving our daughter the chance to explain this for herself.

Ralph Dibny: I know how Barry can be. But you guys are like the Meghan and Harry of superhero royalty. Your love is eternal. You two will talk and-and...
Iris West-Allen: We did talk. I want Nora to stay here, he doesn't. How do we solve that?
Cecile Horton: Okay, Iris, honey. I haven't always been in the near-perfect relationship that I'm in now. So take it from someone with experience, the only way you two solve this problem is together. And you're not going to find your answers here.
Iris West-Allen: Yeah, you're right.
Cecile Horton: You need to go after her.
Ralph Dibny: Oh, come on. Give me a break. Have you seen her right hook?
Iris West-Allen: Ralph, she's hurt, I know. But there's something more. I feel it. She's... determined.

Joe West: What the hell is that?
Iris West-Allen: You don't want to know.

Iris West-Allen: Time language.
Barry Allen: Mm-hmm.
Iris West-Allen: No matter what changes with the timeline, that'll never change.
Barry Allen: Yeah. We'll always have this to remember her.

Barry Allen: It's a system-wide power surge.
Iris West-Allen: It's coming from the Time Vault.
Iris West-Allen: Are we under attack?
Barry Allen: I don't know. Whatever's going on started the moment we left.

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.
Joe West: You notice ain't nobody help clean up?

Joan Williams: Your husband stared at me that same way when we first met.
Iris West-Allen: I'm sorry. You look just like Barry's mother.

Harrison 'Nash' Wells: So... It's you.
Iris West-Allen: What?
Harrison 'Nash' Wells: What's your name?
Iris West-Allen: Iris West-Allen.
Harrison 'Nash' Wells: Well, Iris...
Iris West-Allen: And don't you forget it.
Cisco Ramon: I had that.

Iris West-Allen: Sue is very lucky to have a master detective like you searching for her.
Ralph Dibny: Give me a break. It's just a missing person's case. It's not I'm looking to getting married.

Ralph Dibny: Hey, I thought you guys fathwoomed out of here.
Barry Allen: We just wanted to make sure you guys were okay holding down the fort while we were gone.
Cisco Ramon: We're good. Rest easy, lovebirds. Team Leader is my new middle name.
Ralph Dibny: What was it before?
Cisco Ramon: Baracus.
Iris West-Allen: As in Barracas, Argentina?
Cisco Ramon: No, as in Mr. T. My mom was a big "A-Team" fan.
Ralph Dibny: Wish mine was. Could've been Hannibal Dibny.
Cisco Ramon: Hannibal? Please. You're Murdock on your best day.

My name Is Iris West-Allen and I once met a young man, a superhero who I called the Streak. The world has come to know him as the Fastest Man Alive, the Scarlet Speedster, the Flash. But no matter what title you choose for him, he'll always be remembered as the protector of our amazing city and it's citizens, as a beacon of hope for us all, and as the man who sacrificed himself again and again so we could live. Today we say goodbye to him. Today we say goodbye to him, not because he was taken but because he gave himself willingly. And in the end, that's what makes him deserving of the greatest title of all. Hero.

Iris West-Allen: There's another reason why you don't want me to use this machine, isn't there?
Eva McCulloch: No, I-I-I... I-I better go lie down.
Iris West-Allen: Eva, w-what are you hiding?
Eva McCulloch: Nothing!
Iris West-Allen: Why don't I believe you?
Eva McCulloch: Trust me, we can't use it.
Iris West-Allen: Why can't we use it?
Eva McCulloch: Because of this!

I trusted you, Barry. Now we have something else in common. We both lost our parents. I hope that was worth it.

You're still the cutest nerd I know.

Iris West: Flash. Be great to call you by your real name.
The Flash: You mean like "Ralph?"
Iris West: Is your name Ralph?

Eddie Thawne: When are you coming home?
Iris West: When it starts to feel like a home again.

Iris West: So are you gonna do it?
Barry Allen: It's just so... huge. It's the biggest decision of my life, and if I'm wrong, I can't undo it.
Iris West: Why would you want to? I mean, you'd get to see your mom again, your dad, have a great career, even get married. Iris West-Allen, huh? I never really thought of myself as a hyphenator. Must be a 2024 thing.

Barry, not everyone is Harrison Wells. Besides, you defeated him because you trusted in people, because you believed in them. This team that you have here, they will follow your lead, they'll do what you say; but, if they think that you don't believe in them, it won't be long before they don't believe in you.

Iris West: I forgot this place existed.
Barry Allen: Yeah. The original Wells used to call it his Time Vault. I've been coming down here a lot lately; I guess I've become as obsessed with the future as he once was.
Barry Allen: After Flashpoint happened, this article reappeared.
Iris West: "Flash Missing. Vanishes in Crisis". Julie Greer, April 25, 2024. I don't...
Barry Allen: The byline used to read "Iris West-Allen". The future's changed.
Iris West: So maybe I quit my job.
Barry Allen: Yeah, that's what I'd hoped at first, too, or something. But, I... look, Iris, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this sooner. When I threw the Philosopher's Stone into the Speed Force, I accidentally ran to the future. I saw Savitar murder you. And I saw myself, and I wasn't fast enough to save you.

Iris West: So much for quiet and classy, right?
Caitlin Snow: Not exactly the bachelorette party you had in mind.
Iris West: Well, saving the city wasn't a bad way to spend the night.

Iris West: What's this?
Barry Allen: A restraining order. I have to stay 500 feet away from Clifford DeVoe.
Iris West: And are you going to?
Iris West: Barry, this is not you. You've got to stop.
Barry Allen: I can't.
Iris West: You can't or you won't?
Barry Allen: I don't know anymore. I've faced a lot of bad guys, people that would hurt the ones that I love, destroy everything good in the world and think nothing of it, but this guy, he feels more dangerous than all the others combined. And we still barely know anything about him. It scares the hell out of me, Iris.

Iris West-Allen: Harry, how are you coming with a solvent for Trickster's axid?
Dr. Harry Wells: Well, slowly. Very difficult to neutralize a solvent that hasn't existed until today.
Iris West-Allen: You've got 59 minutes.
Dr. Harry Wells: All I need is 58.

Caitlin Snow: Looks like Axel was born nine months after Zoey was last seen. I bet she left to help take care of her son.
Iris West-Allen: And she came back to bust him out of prison, and pick up where she left off.
Joe West: Well, I'm digging into CCPD files to see if she had any other known associates.
Dr. Harry Wells: I'll set the satellite to do a search grid.

Joe West: So we're sure that Fallout is secure?
Iris West-Allen: Well, Lyla said that she had some people who would be very interested in helping Borman control his powers. She took him to a different A.R.G.U.S. black-ops site way off the grid.
Joe West: How far off the grid?
Cisco Ramon: Like, it would take Jack Ryan two Tom Clancy novels to find him.

Iris West-Allen: What are you doing, Sherloque?
Sherloque Wells: Well, I'm pursuing a new lead to identify the mystery Cicada.
Iris West-Allen: Well, if you needed information about the Time Sphere, you could've just asked.
Sherloque Wells: That's right, but memory can be deceiving. Especially for a regular human. No, I prefer a primary source.
Iris West-Allen: And this new lead, were you pursuing it last night, too?
Sherloque Wells: That's right.
Iris West-Allen: And all last weekend?
Sherloque Wells: That's right. I am working very hard to get...
Sherloque Wells: To get what I want.

Iris West-Allen: Do you think we made the right decision leaving Nora out of this? I mean, the whole reason she came back was to fight Cicada in the first place.
Barry Allen: We're her parents, all right? It's our job to protect her from harm. The best way to do that is just to keep her far away from it.

Cisco Ramon: Definitely some kind of wood fragment.
Iris West-Allen: And you think those will lead us to where Cicada's hiding?
Cisco Ramon: We can find out. We can cross-reference this, see what kind of wood it is, then see where we end up.

Barry Allen: Please tell me you went home at some point.
Cisco Ramon: I knew I smelled SPF-90. How was it?
Iris West-Allen: Amazing. 15 beaches in 24 hours, one of the many perks of marrying a speedster.

Iris West-Allen: I didn't get a chance to introduce myself, Dr. Choi. I'm Iris West-Allen from Central City.
Ryan Choi: Are you a superhero, too?
Iris West-Allen: No, I'm just like you. Look, I know this is a lot to ask and you're right to be with your family when things go bad.
Ryan Choi: What about you? You clearly have someone in your life. Don't you want to die when the world ends?
Iris West-Allen: My husband is not like us. He goes out there as a superhero day after day and faces whatever he has to to keep his city safe.
Ryan Choi: That's really brave, Iris, but that's not me. See, I'm nothing like your husband.
Iris West-Allen: No, no, you're not. You're human, and we have a purpose, too. We remind superheroes what they're fighting for.
Ryan Choi: My wife, Amanda and I, just had a baby six months ago. Simone. I might not get to see her grow up.
Iris West-Allen: Don't you want to hold her knowing you had a hand in making the world safer?
Ryan Choi: I need to go tell my wife I'm gonna be late for dinner.

If we also made a reservation for tonight, we could up our chances of having an emergency-free Valentine's Dinner.

Iris West-Allen: Surprise, babe.
Barry Allen: Yeah, wow. This is not a banana.
Iris West-Allen: I know Valentine's Day isn't for a couple days, but I thought why not? Let me surprise my hubby before some meta of the week strikes.

Iris West-Allen: There is someone else on the other side of that mirror, another me. How is that possible, Eva?
Eva McCulloch: A fractal variable caused by the mirror. A duplicate of you.
Iris West-Allen: You mean the mirror left a fake clone of me in the real world? We're getting out of here.
Eva McCulloch: I've tried. For six years, I've been in my own personal hell.
Iris West-Allen: Eva, I have to go home.
Eva McCulloch: I'm sorry you're stuck here, but... I thought I was gonna die here alone. At least now there's two of us.

Kamilla Hwang: Iris?
Iris West-Allen: Yeah, I'm not Iris.
Iris West-Allen: Sorry you had to find out this way.
Kamilla Hwang: Wait - wait, no...

Eva McCulloch: And no one saw you?
Iris West-Allen: CCPD was busy fighting Sunshine.
Kamilla Hwang: In and out and no one noticed.
Eva McCulloch: So my husband stopped looking for me, but... apparently still goes out looking for my toys. You did very well. As long as we stick to the plan...
Iris West-Allen , Kamilla Hwang: Success is assured.

Iris West-Allen: I think I've come up with a new idea to get us out of this place.
Eva McCulloch: Stop! What are you doing?
Iris West-Allen: Eva, think about it. This is the only mirror that you can control. So there's gotta be something different about it. And until we can figure out what that is, we are... we're just working blind. Move.
Eva McCulloch: So, to examine it, you want to smash it?
Iris West-Allen: Yeah. I mean, we both know that you can put it back together, so let's just take this thing down, dissect it piece by piece, and learn what its secrets are.
Eva McCulloch: Fine. You do what you wanna do.
Eva McCulloch: I'm gonna go to my lab, and work on a plan that would actually help us.
Iris West-Allen: Oh, my god.

Kamilla Hwang: You okay?
Iris West-Allen: I let Eva manipulate me all this time, and now the neural dissonance is getting worse. How did I let that happen? My skill as a reporter is being able to see the truth, but Eva proved to me that I can't trust my instincts or... myself.
Kamilla Hwang: You weren't the only one she tricked. Your duplicate tricked me, everyone. Even Barry. Don't beat yourself up for not being perfect. Of course Eva would want you to see your strength as a weakness. That's how she's kept you trapped. But if you want to escape, you have to trust yourself again. I do. So... where do we start?
Iris West-Allen: There is one other duplicate that Eva created: Chief Singh. We should find him. If we're gonna go home, we're all going home. Together.
