The Flash

Oliver Queen: So why come to me? Something tells me you didn't just run 600 miles to say hi to a friend. Barry Allen: All my life I've been wanting to do more. Be more. And now I am. And the first chance I get to help someone, I screw up. I was chasing the bad guy and... and someone died. Oliver: If you really do this, you're gonna make mistakes. I've made mistakes. But the good you do will far outweigh the bad. Barry: What if Wells is right? What if I'm not a hero. What if I'm some guy who was struck by lightning? Oliver: I don't think that bolt of lighting struck you, Barry. I think it chose you... Barry: I'm just not sure I'm like you, Oliver. I don't know if I can be some vigilante. Oliver: You can be better. Because you can inspire people in a way that I never could. Watching over your city like a guardian angel, making a difference, saving people in a flash. Take your own advice. Wear a mask.

Barry: I wasn't the only one affected by the particle accelerator, was I? Dr. Harrison Wells: We don't know for sure. Barry: You said the city was safe. That there was no residual danger. But that's not true. So what really happened that night? Wells: Well, the accelerator went active. We all felt like heroes and then... it all went wrong. A dimensional barrier ruptured unleashing unknown energies into our world. Anti-matter dark energy. X-elements. Barry: Those are all theoretical. Wells: And how theoretical are you?

Det. Fred Chyre: My Dad gave me that pen before he died. Barry: Sorry.

You can do this, Barry. You were right. I am responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw was a potential victim of my hubris. And yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry, you can stop it. You can do this. Now, run, Barry, run!

It's time to think big.

Barry: I'm dealing with a lot right now. Det. 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: I could do it in three. [Pause] Not relevant.
