The Flash (TV Series)

Family Matters, Part 2 (2021)

Jesse L. Martin: Joe West

Quotes 

• Iris West-Allen : Barry, I can't lose anyone else. Not like Nora.

  Barry Allen : Maybe we're not meant to be parents. I mean if we can't even keep our own family safe...

  Joe West : That's a load of crap. Look, I've been feeling so sorry for myself that I've been neglecting the people that need my help. Baby girl. You and Barry think that you can't help your kids because parents are the only ones that can keep a family safe?

  Iris West-Allen : It's our job to protect them.

  Barry Allen : She's right, Joe.

  Joe West : Barry, when you decided to be the Flash, I tried to talk you out of it, said you were just a kid. Did you stop?

  Barry Allen : No, no, it just made me want to prove I could make a difference even more.

  Joe West : And you sure as hell have. But Iris, when Barry can't do it alone or those times when he is gone like the first time he went into the Speed Force. Who took charge of this crew and kept us safe? You did. You're always there, side by side with him. Just like now, taking care of business. You two don't get it? Sometimes it takes a family to protect a family.

  Barry Allen : Iris, we've been trying to keep the forces apart.

  Iris West-Allen : When we should be bringing them together.
