- Kristen Kramer: Staff meeting's canceled, Allen. For the record, you'd have been late.
- Barry Allen: Sorry. I-I was just... I got caught up in some blood spatter analysis. But it looks like you've had a busy morning.
- Kristen Kramer: Yeah, and it's about to turn into a busy afternoon, evening, and night thanks to this generous donation from the Scarlett Speedster.
- Barry Allen: Wha- but the Flash caught those guys. That's a good thing, right?
- Kristen Kramer: How can I press charges when I don't know what crimes were committed, how they were done, and where? And it's not like we can just call up The Flash and ask.
- Barry Allen: Yeah, like on a Flash phone or...
- Kristen Kramer: Yeah. That's a terrible name.
- Joe West: Sounds like Kramer has a point.
- Barry Allen: Look, maybe I could do a better job communicating when I'm dropping off criminals, but giving CCPD a direct line to the Flash? You don't really think that's necessary, do you?
- Barry Allen: I don't know, Barr, when I was captain, I had a direct line to the Flash.
- Cecile Horton: And, I mean, me, too. When I was a district attorney, if I had a question on a case, all I ever had to do was call you and get the details.
- Barry Allen: That's because you're family.
- Joe West: Which she is not, and I get that, but what she and I went through when we were tracking down Creyke, I... I trust her with my life. Maybe you should consider letting her in a bit more. Give her one of the alert apps that we all have on our phones.
- Barry Allen: Joe, look, I get it. She's a good cop. She's a great captain. And when I first got my speed, I needed a lot of help, not just from Caitlin and Cisco, but from you and everybody at CCPD. But now...
- Cecile Horton: Now you've leveled up.
- Barry Allen: Yeah. Which means I can find other ways to solve Kramer's Flash problem, like doing extra CSI work to collect what she needs for processing. I mean, that'll ease the burden for her, right?
- Joe West: It sounds like it.
- Barry Allen: Yeah.
- Joe West: And I get how keeping church and state separated is the easiest choice, but I also know Kramer, and if she is asking for a line to the Flash, she probably has a good reason. I'm just sayin'. Maybe you wanna think about it before you decide what to do, Barr.
- Caitlin Snow: Seriously, Marcus, I am so sorry. I cannot believe I made a dinner reservation for next January.
- Marcus: Oh, please don't feel bad. Last week at work, I screwed up the blooming cycle for the Selenicereus grandiflorus I've been growing. You should have seen all the pollen.
- Caitlin Snow: [giving him her coat] Thank you. I mean, really, you're just such a trooper. This first round is on me. This place is a little seedier than I remember.
- Marcus: It's fun. Plus, they've got karaoke.
- Caitlin Snow: There's that.
- Frost: [on stage, singing Foreigner's "Cold as Ice"] You're as cold as ice.
- Mark Blaine: You're willing to sacrifice our love.
- Marcus: Hey. Way off-key, but they're committed.
- Caitlin Snow: We need to leave.
- Barry Allen: CCPD's never had a line to the Flash before.
- Kristen Kramer: Yeah, but for once, I would like to feel like the Flash and law enforcement are on the same page, instead of us just always playing catch-up. But since that's not happening, cancel any plans you have for tonight. We've got a lot of legwork to do.
- Barry Allen: [to himself as she leaves] You're welcome.
- The Flash: [whooshes into CCPD with three apprehended criminals] Think these guys could use some help finding their cells.
- Officer Daisy Korber: Uh... thanks, Flash.
- The Flash: Yeah.
- Kristen Kramer: What's going on here?
- Mugger: I didn't do nothin'.
- Carjacker: I wanna see my lawyer.
- Sterling Brooks: Yeah. What they said. And hey! Any chance Flash brought that latte I ordered?
- Kristen Kramer: Barry, you don't have to help him.
- Goldface: Finish the scanner, now, or your captain gets to visit the white whale.
- Carver: Hell yeah. She gonna walk the plank y'all.
- Goldface: Ahab, didn't... I'm sorry, do you not know Moby Dick? "To the last I grapple with thee." What about "Wrath of Khan"? "From hell's heart I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last..."
- [deadbeat]
- Goldface: I bought you a first edition for your birthday. BA literature from Yale. I'm surrounded by philistines.
- Sterling Brooks: [holding up Jitters] You heard me! I want everything in the register and a triple-shot latte with oat milk! Not soy!
- Barry Allen: Hey, Captain, you got a sec?
- Kristen Kramer: I'm on my way to processing.
- Barry Allen: These will come in handy. Um, I cross-referenced the 911 calls from this morning with the description of the perps the Flash brought in. Uh, then I hit the crime scenes; fingerprints, security footage, Korber even interviewed witnesses. So this should be everything you need to wrap up these cases.
- Kristen Kramer: Wow. I appreciate the hustle, Allen.
- Barry Allen: Yeah.
- Kristen Kramer: Just wish it was more than a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.
- Barry Allen: Well, you have more than enough to charge all three suspects.
- Kristen Kramer: What about the suspects the Flash drops off tomorrow? Or the day after that?
- Barry Allen: Respectfully, Captain, I mean, this is the way we've done things the past seven years ever since the Flash showed up. You know, the system works.
- Kristen Kramer: From your perspective, but there are things you don't need to worry about as a forensic scientist that I need to consider as captain.
- Barry Allen: I understand that, but, you know, the Flash is just trying to help this city.
- Kristen Kramer: And he does, all the time. But together, we could help it even more. Humans and meta-humans alike.
- Caitlin Snow: Mark keeps taking Frost on all these ridiculous dates.
- Allegra Garcia: Well, maybe tonight will distract you. Don't you have a date, too?
- Caitlin Snow: Yes. Yeah, Marcus is taking me to the Spanish Hamper.
- Chester P. Runk: How'd he get you guys a reservation for the hottest place in town? That's impressive.
- Allegra Garcia: Is it turning serious?
- Caitlin Snow: I-I mean, he's really nice, and I like nice, so... that's nice. It's nice.
- Chester P. Runk: Oh, man, I can see it now. He doesn't know we're on Team Flash. But soon, you and Marcus are gonna fall in love, and then he's gonna join us for, like, some crazy adventure, then boom! He's on the team. Hey, hey, maybe he'll learn how to control plants.
- Allegra Garcia: I-It's their third date, Chuck, so maybe just slow your roll.
- Goldface: Don't I know you?
- Barry Allen: Uh...
- Goldface: You're that rat that cost me the organ printer! The Chemist!
- Barry Allen: Yes. Um, yeah. Look, I-I was on an undercover assignment. Look, why don't you just tell us what it is you want? 'Kay, nobody has to die tonight.
- Goldface: You know my lady, Amunet Black? Not only is she the finest female this side of Mississippi, but she's got some intel that there are some very rare and valuable items in your armory. I want what's in there. So I'ma go get it. And if anyone tries anything...
- Barry Allen: We get the belt.
- Goldface: Good memory, Chemist.
- [to one of his henchmen as he leaves]
- Goldface: Keep an eye on this one. He smells like trouble.
- Chester P. Runk: Holy Alice H. Parker. 'Kay, we got a mugging in progress off Route 119.
- Allegra Garcia: And a carjacking at the Edwards Center parking lot.
- Chester P. Runk: And a holdup at Jitters. And they're all happening right now?
- Barry Allen: Don't worry, guys. Already on it.
- Chester P. Runk: Uh, all of it, boss?
- Chester P. Runk: What up, party people? It's your boy Chester P., and I'm ready to rock your world with knowledge for free!
- [imitating an echo]
- Chester P. Runk: Free! Free! Free! Hey, today, we have a self-flying drone based off of an AI algorithm created by yours truly. I'm gonna upload the specs online, 'cause here at the Runkyard, we keep tech openly sourced and classy.
- Caitlin Snow: All right, how is this even possible? I've silenced my phone, I've turned off all the notifications, and look at what keeps popping up.
- Allegra Garcia: [she scrolls through pictures] Are those all from Frost and Mark?
- Caitlin Snow: Oh, you mean my sister and her ex-con boyfriend? Yes, they are. Look at what they're doing.
- Allegra Garcia: Looks cool.
- Caitlin Snow: No, it looks dangerous!
- Chester P. Runk: Hey, hey, Caitlin. Do you mind just taking a wee little step to the right?
- Caitlin Snow: Are you live-streaming?
- Chester P. Runk: Uh-huh, yeah.
- Caitlin Snow: WookieLover77 says, "Who's the girl? Her sister seems cooler"?
- Chester P. Runk: Okay, that's it for today. Smash that "like" button.
- Chester P. Runk: Routine traffic stop downtown? Oh, yeah. Looks like it was a good day to pull monitor duty, Chester P.
- [his stomach growls]
- Chester P. Runk: Ooh... snack time.
- [taking out a lunchbox with the Superman "S" on it]
- Chester P. Runk: Damn. I was supposed to make the egg salad this morning. Grandma Runk is gonna be epically mad. Now I got nada for lunch. Although... legally, I am entitled to a break every four hours, and it's only gonna take me, like, four minutes, 'cause the kitchen's just right down the hall. Then again, that is time enough for a nuclear meltdown and an alien invasion in this town. So...
- Allegra Garcia: [coming in] Hey, Chuck.
- Chester P. Runk: [jumping] Oh! What up, A? I thought you'd be working.
- Allegra Garcia: I-I was, but then I remembered it's Wednesday, and that place I told you about at last week's D&D game, Hershfield's, today is when they have their amazing chicken parmesan sandwiches, so I thought...
- [holding up the tote bag she's carrying]
- Allegra Garcia: It's lunchtime. Why not surprise you with a treat?
- Chester P. Runk: Wow, thanks. I guess I'm lunch-date-worthy now, huh?
- Allegra Garcia: Chuck, you are date-worthy in all the major categories.
- Chester P. Runk: I am?
- Allegra Garcia: [realizing what she said] Yeah, definitely...
- Chester P. Runk: I mean, that's... that's good... that's good to... know. You know? And I, too, think that you are also, um, what you just... like, worthy of what you just said a second ago.
- Goldface: Wakey, wakey, ladies and gents in blue. Folks call me Goldface. That's 'cause if it's made of gold, it's mine to control, from your dental fillings to the 0.35 grams of gold in your cell phones. Don't even bother trying to phone a friend, 'cause we knocked out the nearest cell phone tower. But if anyone does come calling...
- [two of his henchmen take off their coats, revealing police officer uniforms underneath]
- Goldface: ...they'll find a couple of Central City's finest outside telling them there's a gas leak.
- Barry Allen: [Kramer gets to her feet] What are you doing? What are you... hey.
- Kristen Kramer: Goldface, this is my precinct. You have a problem, you take it up with me. Let my officers go.
- Goldface: Ah... if it isn't the famous Kristen Kramer. Loved you on the "Citizentopia" podcast. Very inspiring.
- Kristen Kramer: Thanks.
- Goldface: Now, Captain, I'm guessing you wanna play hero. Let me let my man Carver here show you what happens if anyone gets out of line.
- [he whistles, and Carver rolls a mannequin into view with a meta-dampening cuff on its wrist]
- Goldface: Now, you may all have noticed that you're sporting a new piece of jewelry. Well, since Captain Mimic here outed herself as a meta, I figured she may not be the only one of you. But these bracelets, they don't just dampen powers. They also do this.
- [pressing a button on his belt, the cuff explodes]
- Goldface: You feeling me now, Captain?
