Joe West : Barry, don't you think Iris would recognize you voice?
Barry Allen : [vibrating his voice] No, I can do this cool thing with my vocal cords, where I vibrate them so I sound like this. I know. It's cool, it's cool.
Joe West : Whoa.
-
Cisco Ramon : I'm gonna ask. Where's my suit?
Barry Allen : It's... gone.
Cisco Ramon : What do you mean, it's gone? What did you do with my suit?
Barry Allen : It blew up, dude. I managed to get out of it before it went "kaboom."
Cisco Ramon : My suit went "kaboom"?
Barry Allen : Fun fact about Bette Sans Souci. She's not carrying bombs. She touched the emblem on the suit and turned it into a bomb. She's a meta-human.
Dr. Harrison Wells : With the ability to cause spontaneous combustion upon tactile contact.
Cisco Ramon : She blew up my suit.
Caitlin Snow : You have, like, three more.
Cisco Ramon : Okay, I have two. And I loved that one.
-
Caitlin Snow : Barry, this isn't a roadrunner cartoon.
The Flash : How fast would I need to go to run up the side of a building?
Caitlin Snow : How far up do you need to go?
The Flash : Uh, I-I don't know. Fifty meters, give or take. Guys, hurry!
Caitlin Snow : Just run really fast and you'll be fine, but you need to maintain your velocity on your way down, or...
The Flash : Or-or what?
Caitlin Snow : Splat.
-
Barry Allen : How often do you think about why your friends came into your life? Was it random, by design, or maybe a little bit of both? Regardless of the reasons, some friends you just know are gonna be by your side for a while. Others you're not so sure. And then there's that one friend who, well, you hope someday becomes something more, but "friend" will have to do for now, and that's okay... I guess.
-
Barry Allen : Guys? I have a problem.
Cisco Ramon : We all do when guys like him exist.
Caitlin Snow : [looking at Eddie] Yeah, he's so hot. Uh, I mean, genetically speaking. Because I'm a geneticist, of course. Oh, my God, do I sound like Felicity?
-
Barry Allen : Wait, you carry a blood-collection kit in your purse?
Caitlin Snow : You have YOUR hobbies...
-
Joe West : When were you planning on telling me that Iris saw the Streak?
Barry Allen : Well... that was not planned. She caught me off guard.
Joe West : We had a deal. You keep her in the dark about the meta-humans, and I don't go Floyd Mayweather on you.
Barry Allen : Okay, Joe, I know.
Joe West : And she's writing a blog now.
Barry Allen : I already talked to her about that.
Joe West : Well, talk to her again. And be more convincing.
Barry Allen : Okay.
[seeing his look]
Barry Allen : You mean right now?
Joe West : Yes, I do.
-
Barry Allen : All right, what else do we know about her?
Cisco Ramon : Oh, I don't know. She's pure evil. We're gonna find this girl and send her butt into the Pipeline. No one blows my tech to smithereens and gets away with it...
[seeing Bette's picture from her Army personnel file]
Cisco Ramon : Unless she looks like that.
-
Iris West : I'm glad you invited Caitlin and Cisco.
Barry Allen : They're cool, right?
Iris West : They saved your life, Barry. That makes them the coolest people I've ever met.
-
Joe West : Barry, what do you got?
Barry Allen : Bombers typically have their own unique signatures. Crimped wires, fragmentation. The level of sophistication is telling once I've analyzed it. You show me a bomb, I can usually find a clue in it.
Joe West : It sounds like there's a "but" coming.
Barry Allen : Yeah, I haven't found any sign of an oxidizing agent. It's as if the floor just blew itself up.
Joe West : Things don't just blow up.
-
Cisco Ramon : Still nothing?
Barry Allen : I can't get drunk. I mean, I'm only 25, and my drinking days are already over.
-
Barry Allen : You gotta stop writing about this guy. I mean, he doesn't even exist.
Iris West : I saw him, Barry. He wears a red suit, like a uniform or something, with a lightning bolt on his chest.
Barry Allen : [scoffing chuckle] I mean, Iris, come on. You were drinking last night at the bar.
Iris West : I was not drunk, and I know what I saw. He wears a mask. I think he smiled at me.
Barry Allen : Okay, first of all, if he is wearing a mask, that probably means he doesn't want people to know who he is.
Iris West : It doesn't matter who he is. What matters is that people know that he's out there. What is wrong with you? This is important to me. Why can't you be more supportive?
-
The Flash : I can get you out of here. I can help you understand what happened to you.
Bette Sans Souci : How?
The Flash : Because it happened to me, too.
-
Dr. Harrison Wells : Her cellular structure's unlike anything I've ever seen.
Caitlin Snow : Her nitrogen levels are off the charts.
Barry Allen : Do you think we can help her?
Dr. Harrison Wells : To answer that question, we have to understand how she works, and to understand that, first we have to see her in action.
Cisco Ramon : You want her to blow stuff up. Yes! Now we're talking.
Dr. Harrison Wells : Not in here. She's too unstable.
Cisco Ramon : I know.
Dr. Harrison Wells : I know you know.
-
Bette Sans Souci : Downrange, insurgents started booby-trapping cars. The rest of my tour, I was terrified to touch another vehicle. Now, I'm gonna spend the rest of my life terrified to touch another human being. Have they tried to help you?
Barry Allen : Uh... yeah, they've helped me learn how to use my powers. Not reverse them.
Bette Sans Souci : If they could reverse it so you weren't a... meta-human, would you?
Barry Allen : A friend told me I was given my speed for a reason. That... I was chosen. I don't know if I believe that, but I always wanted to help people. Now I can.
-
Barry Allen : [downing a series of alcohol shots in quick succession] I can't feel anything.
Cisco Ramon : Yeah, that's usually what happens when you drink too much.
Barry Allen : No, the alcohol is not affecting me. I mean, I literally feel nothing.
Caitlin Snow : It's your hypermetabolism. I need a sample.
Cisco Ramon : I'll get more shots.
-
Cisco Ramon : A VA file number is all the info you have on the bomber?
Barry Allen : CCPD's been ordered off the case.
Caitlin Snow : Well, who has the power to do that?
Barry Allen : The Army. Uh, some General. His name was Eiling, I think.
Dr. Harrison Wells : [entering] General Wade Eiling.
Barry Allen : You know him?
Dr. Harrison Wells : Yeah, I know him. About ten years ago, General Wade Eiling contracted S.T.A.R. Labs to develop enhanced gene therapies for soldiers. I was interested in the potential medical benefits for civilians. General Eiling really wanted to develop mind-reading capabilities for interrogation purposes. I stopped the study when I saw his techniques up close, but our split was less than amicable.
-
The Flash : I need you to stop writing about me.
Iris West : There are a lot of people who need someone like you right now. To know that you're out there. I have so many questions. Where are you from?
The Flash : [speeding down to her] I can't say.
Iris West : Who are you?
The Flash : I can't tell you that, either.
Iris West : [watching him speed away] How can you do what you do?
[no response]
Iris West : You're a terrible interview.
The Flash : [speeding down to her again] There's more to this than you can understand. Just trust me, please. I need you to stop.
Iris West : Can you stop? Running into buildings and rescuing people without them even knowing that you're there?
The Flash : I don't do this for the glory.
Iris West : So why do you?
-
Barry Allen : What are you guys doing here?
Caitlin Snow : We thought we should have a toast.
Barry Allen : Doesn't work on me, remember?
Caitlin Snow : Barry Allen, you of all people should know that nothing is impossible.
[putting a vial on the bartop]
Caitlin Snow : I distilled a highly fermented, potent suspension. It's basically 500 proof. I figured if anybody could use a drink tonight, it was you.
[raising her own drink]
Caitlin Snow : So, here's to Bette.
Barry Allen : Bette.
[downing the shot and coughing]
Barry Allen : Whoa, oh. That hit too quick.
Caitlin Snow : Are you buzzed?
Barry Allen : Um... yeah. Yeah, I'm buzzed for sure. Whoa. Oh, that is good stuff. And it's gone.
Cisco Ramon : Right.
Caitlin Snow : Work in progress.
-
Cisco Ramon : [Barry ends a phone call with Joe] What was that about?
Barry Allen : Iris posted about the Streak again. She signed her name to it.
Cisco Ramon : Oh, that's not good.
Barry Allen : No.
Cisco Ramon : If one of these bad meta-humans we're dealing with figures she knows something...
Barry Allen : They may target her, I know.
-
Bette Sans Souci : What are you doing here?
The Flash : Being a soldier doesn't mean you're a murderer. Don't become one now.
[on the ground, Eiling shoots Bette]
The Flash : I'm sorry. I didn't see him.
Bette Sans Souci : Don't be. It's not your fault. I'm glad you stopped me.
-
Barry Allen : Hey, what's wrong? Did Eiling find out you're here?
Bette Sans Souci : No. Caitlin was just about to give me the not-so-good news.
Caitlin Snow : The shrapnel in your body has merged with you on a cellular level.
Dr. Harrison Wells : And the technology required to unsplice your DNA... it hasn't been invented yet.
Barry Allen : [sympathetically] Bette.
Bette Sans Souci : It's okay. Roger that. I... I just need a minute. Don't worry.
[standing to leave]
Bette Sans Souci : Pretty sure I can cry without blowing stuff up.
-
Joe West : I want to keep her safe.
Barry Allen : You know the only real way to get her to stop is to tell her the truth.
Joe West : Man, you really wanna tell her.
Barry Allen : I tell her everything.
Joe West : Mmm... not everything.
Barry Allen : [he chuckles nervously, then sees Joe's look] Is it that obvious?
Joe West : Not to her.
Barry Allen : But how long have you known for?
Joe West : I have watched you be in love with Iris since you were old enough to know what love is. And I've been waiting years for you to tell her. But you haven't.
Barry Allen : Guess I was too slow.
Joe West : Hmm.
Barry Allen : Now she's happy with someone else, so...
Joe West : When the universe wants to make something happen, whether it be giving a young man lightning speed or putting two people together, it has a way of figuring those things out.
-
General Wade Eiling : Nothing out of the ordinary occurred. The military was simply conducting an underwater weapons test. There is no need for panic or alarm. Central City is safe. I guarantee you.
Barry Allen : [watching on TV] He murdered Bette right in front of me. And there's nothing we can do to him.
Dr. Harrison Wells : Powerful men have a way of avoiding consequences.
Caitlin Snow : You gonna be okay?
Barry Allen : Yeah.
-
Barry Allen : [narrating] For a guy who has experienced his fair share of mysteries, one mystery I still can't figure out is why some people come into our lives. Why some people go, and others become a part of you. Some friendships feel like they'll last forever. And others end far too soon. Not every friendship is meant to last a lifetime. What does last forever is the pain when that person is gone.
-
Barry Allen : Joe. What are you doing here?
Joe West : Going over the materials in your mom's case. How's it going with you?
Barry Allen : Stellar. I made friends with a human bomb who I promised I could help, and then I couldn't. And I finally diagnosed why Iris is writing about the Streak. She's doing it for me.
[laughing]
Barry Allen : To prove the impossible is possible.
Joe West : How do you know that?
Barry Allen : The Streak may have talked to her.
-
Barry Allen : I was working a case. Someone I really thought I could help befriend, but they died.
Iris West : Barry, I'm really sorry.
Barry Allen : I didn't know her that well. But it still hurts. And as bad as I feel right now, I know how much worse it is to lose someone who's family. Iris... writing about this stuff, putting your name out there, it's dangerous. So I'm asking you one last time, please, stop.
Iris West : And I am asking you one last time to tell me what is really going on with you. Why am I the only one of us who's interested in this?
Barry Allen : I guess, just, all this stuff with my family, I finally just put it behind me. I'm asking you to, also.
Iris West : That may have been how this started, but it's about something more than that for me now. Whoever this Streak is, wherever he comes from, I am not stopping until the rest of the world believes in him.
Barry Allen : Maybe we shouldn't see each other for a while.
-
Iris West : Look, I have this friend, and he had something terrible happen to him when he was a kid. And his whole life, he's been telling stories about this impossible thing. And people laughed at him. And shrinks analyzed him. And he's been searching for an explanation ever since. But now, suddenly, it's like he's lost his faith. But you... you are proof that he wasn't crazy. Help me save my friend.
The Flash : He's a lucky guy.
-
Barry Allen : Where's Bette?
Cisco Ramon : She left.
Barry Allen : What do you mean? Where'd she go?
Dr. Harrison Wells : She didn't say.
Barry Allen : Well, where the hell could she be?
-
The Flash : [to Iris] Meet me on the roof. I'll give you a head start.
