Quotes 

• Eva McCulloch : What don't you understand? He's not worth saving!

  The Flash : Maybe... But it's not your decision.

  Eva McCulloch : Oh, yes, it is.

  [forces a mirror shard through Flash's shoulder and it pierces Joseph in his chest] 

  Eva McCulloch : My husband... let me rot in that world for years! He does not get to live in this one.

  Joseph Carver : You're not my wife. My wife died in the particle accelerator explosion.

  Eva McCulloch : Well... I've never felt more alive.

  Joseph Carver : You're not... even... human.

• Joseph Carver : I knew Eva was ambitious, but... mirror duplicates.

  Barry Allen : Eva's more powerful than you thought.

  Allegra Garcia : I don't get it. Why doesn't she just come after you herself?

  Ralph Dibny : Well, Eva's still technically missing, so she can't be seen in public.

  Barry Allen : That's why she took Singh. The chief of police could get close to you.

  Joseph Carver : Fortunately, Mr. Wells teleported us to safety.

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : You're welcome.

  Joseph Carver : What is that device? And how much do you want for it?

  Allegra Garcia : It's not for sale, dirtbag.

  Joseph Carver : [laughing]  Oh, please. Everyone has a price.

  Ralph Dibny : Hey, listen. We just saved your keister. So why don't you put a sock in it 'til we can figure out what to do with you?

• Joseph Carver : I need your help after all, Allen. Federal protection. The full Joe West treatment.

  Allegra Garcia : What happened to your killer minions?

  Barry Allen : [seeing his face]  Eva got to them first, didn't she?

  Joseph Carver : You gonna help me or not?

  [Nash scoffs] 

  Joseph Carver : Look, get me into protection, and Joe can get out of it. One call from me and he's sleeping in his own bed tonight.

  Ralph Dibny : [scoffing, too]  You're a real piece of work. You know that?

  Joseph Carver : That sounded like a "yes" to me.

• Barry Allen : A.R.G.U.S. will be here in an hour to take you into custody.

  [seeing the large mirror on the wall] 

  Barry Allen : Wait, this isn't safe.

  Joseph Carver : Relax. After I saw what happened to your wife, I had it coated with protective nanites.

  Barry Allen : I thought Palmer Tech and McColloch were rivals.

  Joseph Carver : Let's just say what Palmer Tech doesn't know won't hurt them.

• Allegra Garcia : [conversing in Spanish]  Esperanza, we thought Eva got to you guys.

  Ultraviolet : No. She gave us a choice.

  Dr. Light : [in English]  Something Carver never did.

  Sunshine : We're no longer under his thumb. Neither is Eva.

  Joseph Carver : Whatever she is paying you, I will double it.

  Dr. Light : This isn't about a paycheck.

  Sunshine : It's about payback.

• Allegra Garcia : I'm glad Carver turned you down. After what he did to my cousin, Joe, Iris, he... he deserves what he gets.

  Barry Allen : He doesn't deserve to die. What if he's telling the truth about the Mirrorverse affecting minds?

  Ralph Dibny : Or he's lying. He's not exactly the paragon of truth.

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : I don't think he's lying. I think it could be neural dissonance. I came across this Earth on my travels where any visitor to that Earth immediately suffers a traumatic psychological state. Neural dissonance. This could be that.

  Joseph Carver : [entering]  I'm glad someone believes me.

• Barry Allen : Look, there's no easy way to say this, so... your wife wants to kill you. But CCPD can't keep you safe.

  Joseph Carver : My wife is dead.

  Barry Allen : Eva's been trapped in another dimension for the last six years. Placed called the Mirrorverse. But you already knew that.

  Joseph Carver : If Eva did escape that wretched place, I'd know. This is about your wife, isn't it? I came across this footage from my wife's office a couple of weeks ago.

  [showing Barry his tablet] 

  Joseph Carver : Ooh.

  Barry Allen : You knew Iris was abducted?

  Joseph Carver : Your wife was a problem. Her disappearance was fortuitous.

  Barry Allen : What happened to my wife?

  Joseph Carver : The same thing that happened to my Eva. She's gone. They both are.

  Barry Allen : No. There has to be a way to get her back.

  Joseph Carver : I used to think that, too. But if Iris is still alive in there, there's probably nothing left of her to save. I had the most brilliant minds in the world study that... Mirrorverse. You know what they found? It's incompatible with the human brain. That place warps the mind until the person is no longer recognizable. Your Iris is long gone. I suggest you accept that and move on.

• Joseph Carver : How do you know Eva's coming after me?

  Barry Allen : Who else would've burnt down your warehouse? 42nd and Darby, right?

  Joseph Carver : I'd never buy on that side of town. And I don't need protecting.

  Barry Allen : Mm.

  Joseph Carver : Give Captain West my best.

• Joseph Carver : [to Barry]  You're not here to slap me, are you? Captain West went for the left side. How is he, by the way?
