Quotes
-
Chester P. Runk : So I just got off the phone with Luke Fox. Mercer's boomerang, Amar's knives, even Wozzack's funky violin, Luke thinks they all resemble advanced WayneTech designs. But their nano-tech foundations are beyond bleeding-edge.
Allegra Garcia : So he has no idea who we're up against.
Barry Allen : What about this new speedster wearing a bat symbol?
Chester P. Runk : Team Bat's never fought a baddie dressed like that. But they have some drama of their own. A few weeks ago, Ryan Wilder went out on patrol. She never came back.
Cecile Horton : We got a new speedster in a bat suit, and Batwoman is missing?
Khione : Could that be a coincidence?
Iris West-Allen : Okay, what do we do now?
Barry Allen : We find this new speedster. And we stop him.
-
Barry Allen : I just keep thinking about this speedster, what if they're the new Negative Speed Force Avatar?
Iris West-Allen : Yeah, I feel like we just got rid of the last one.
Barry Allen : There's something else. There was a symbol on his armor. It looked like a bat.
Iris West-Allen : Barry, we have to talk to Chester.
-
Hartley Rathaway : So you need a vibration engine?
Barry Allen : Not us, no - the Rogues that stole your gauntlets. We think they're working together to steal one.
Iris West-Allen : So that they can build a more dangerous weapon, one that could destroy the entire timeline.
Hartley Rathaway : Well, that sounds super ominous. Luckily, those jackasses will have to get in line behind me.
Barry Allen : Don't tell us you're thinking of moving into time travel too.
Hartley Rathaway : Oof, no. I don't need those headaches.
-
Barry Allen : You squealed on Amunet? I thought she was your soul mate.
Goldface : True love is a lie.
Carver : Damn straight. Goldface's only sidekick is cold, hard cash. He ain't some bleeding heart.
Goldface : Ain't it the truth.
Carver : And he sure as hell doesn't stay up all night reading "Dr. Zhivago", then sobbing when Yuri dies before finding Lara.
Goldface : Damn it, Carver! You were told that in confidence. Book club will remain a safe space.

Iris West-Allen : I just interviewed the lab tech and asked him what Amar and the others might have wanted. He said that a temporal scanner is missing.
Kristen Kramer : Um...
Barry Allen : It's a device that measure radioactive half-lives. It tells you what year you're in.
Kristen Kramer : Why would they need that? Don't Rogues have calendar apps?
Barry Allen : Everything they've stolen - the Roemer accelerator battery... The sonic gauntlets... Now a temporal scanner? They're all components you'd need to build a cosmic treadmill.
Kristen Kramer : Do I want to know what that is?
Barry Allen : It's a machine that uses kinetic energy to open quantum wormholes in space and time, which is a lot of power in the wrong hands.
Kristen Kramer : Yeah, I didn't.
Iris West-Allen : Godspeed used one in 2049 when he came back to our time.
Kristen Kramer : Now you're telling me a trio of murderous lunatics is trying to, what, build a time machine? Why?
Barry Allen : Whatever their goal is, it's not all I'm worried about.
Kristen Kramer : There's something worse than actual time bandits?
Barry Allen : If they take a cosmic treadmill on a crime spree, they could damage the timeline itself. Just one paradox could permanently alter the fabric of space-time.
Kristen Kramer : Great, 'cause I wasn't worried enough before.

Goldface : Hang on, didn't you knock over my operation in 2016?
Mark Blaine : Operation? Please, the place looked like a farmers market.
Barry Allen : Can we settle this later?
Jaco Birch : Yeah. You listen to the man, all right? This is a serious mission. We're gonna save lives today.
Goldface : Aren't you the fool that opened up an active volcano underneath Central City?
Mark Blaine : Oh, yeah, right after he killed my favorite bartender.
Jaco Birch : I was cleared of those charges. You're not the smartest guy in the room.
Hartley Rathaway : Exactly. I am. So if I could have everyone's attention, the plan...
Jaco Birch : Your bar plays terrible music! Disco is dead, dude.
-
Iris West-Allen : So the Rogues' new partner is a speedster?
Jaco Birch : Yeah. It was the scariest thing I've ever seen.
Barry Allen : And it gets worse. He's using the negative speed, which is how he was able to dampen my speed for a few minutes.
Iris West-Allen : Why would a speedster need a time machine?
Goldface : "And darkness and decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."
Barry Allen : Edgar Allan Poe.
Goldface : Then you know the story. Seven revelers at a masquerade, killed by the strangers in their midst.
Barry Allen : Look, I know what you're all thinking. But this is about more than stealing tech now. This new speedster, I don't know who he is yet. I don't know what he wants to build a time machine. But Team Flash can't stop him on their own, especially how if he has his own Rogue army. I need your help. All of you.
Hartley Rathaway : Barry, this is not what we signed up for.
Jaco Birch : But... you know, I have a son to keep safe in this town. So I guess if you need me...
Goldface : Fine. I always did like a good underdog story.
Hartley Rathaway : That, and if Central City gets leveled, you're out of business.
Goldface : I said I'd help.
Hartley Rathaway : Find out who this guy is, find out his weakness, then call us.
