Quotes 

• Cisco Ramon : "Welcome home"? You guys shouldn't have.

  Joe West : Shame.

  Wally West : Well, it's good to see you, friend.

  Cisco Ramon : Wally West? What? Where have you been? Welcome home - "Welcome home." I see. I am crashing *your* party.

• Turtle-2 : Zip off again, and I'll age him 1,000 years.

  The Flash : Listen to me. Listen. We can't do anything to make up for the time that you lost, but if you take responsibility for the time you have left, you won't lose anymore. I promise. Please let us help you.

  Turtle-2 : I don't want your help.

  Joe West : We know.

  [injects her with Velocity X] 

  Joe West : Thanks for the tip, Flash.

  [cuffs her] 

  Joe West : Let's see how you handle *our* version of time.

• Joe West : [to Wally]  Do you remember what you were like when we first met? 'Cause I do. You were petulant, stubborn. Every little thing pissed you off. You didn't want a father or a sister or a brother, but look at the man that you are now; the sensitive, intelligent, compassionate man that you have become, and it's not because of some mystical energy source out there. It's because you did the work. Now your responsibility is to continue to do the work to be that man. Do you understand me, son?

• Wally West : The one who continues to advance will win in the end.

  Joe West : You sound more like a parent than I do now.

  Wally West : Oh, you know, it's a Zen thing.

• Joe West : The Speed Force is dead? I don't even know what to say. D-D-Do you still have your powers?

  Wally West : From what I can figure out, we still have a residual amount of Speed Force inside us. But the more we use up, the less we have left until...

  Joe West : Until it's gone forever?

  [Wally nods] 

  Joe West : Oh, my god, son, I didn't... I can't even imagine what you're going through. And Barry.

  Wally West : Dad, this is his fault. He could've come to me months ago. We might've fixed things. But instead, he had to do what he always does and assume he's the only one that could handle it.

  Joe West : Well, Wally, did you even need to tell him like that? I mean, we both know that Barry will beat himself up all by himself.

• Joe West : Maria Volkova, Russian socialite. One minute, she's here sipping java, and the next minute, she's a mummy?

  Wally West : This is the same woman I saved from the helicopter, but she was young. She was full of life.

  Barry Allen : Well, based on her signal joint T-cell receptors, she was 110 years old when she died.

  Joe West : Damn. So the helicopter accident, that wasn't random. Someone targeted her.

  Cisco Ramon : Not just any someone. You see the kinetic energy levels on the body?

  Wally West : Yeah, they're almost zero, like someone removed it all.

  Barry Allen : Therefore slowing down the victim, which is how Maria was aged so many years. I mean, real time, it would have been like a second passed, but for her, it was almost a century.
