Quotes 

• Reverse-Flash : You'd actually destroy an entire timeline just to save your own pathetic existence?

  The Flash : No, Thawne. I'm not here to save myself. I'm here to save yours.

• Reverse-Flash : You want to save me. Is this a joke?

  The Flash : No, I'm serious. Thawne, do you remember the day you told me about 170 years from now, when you presented yourself to the world, finally gained speed of your own?

  Reverse-Flash : Greatest day of my entire life. Until now.

  The Flash : Up until that point in your life, you admired me. You wanted to be a hero.

  Reverse-Flash : And you destroyed everything I'd worked for. You saved that crowd. You took the credit that I should have had.

  The Flash : I know. And I'm sorry.

  Reverse-Flash : Is that what this is all about, making amends for ruining my life? Well, it's too late.

  The Flash : No, it doesn't have to be. You can still have a better life, the life you once saw for yourself. Don't you see? All we do is cause each other pain. But tonight, you can change all that if you just walk away.

  Reverse-Flash : That's not what this is about. You know I win tonight. That's what this is all about.

  The Flash : You win one battle, Thawne, not the war between us. Neither of us can do that. If you don't walk away tonight, you will lose everything.

  Reverse-Flash : Liar. Don't you know who I am? I have always been the hero. You're the villain, Flash. You're the one who reversed my entire life and dragged me into hell. And that's why you die tonight, by my hand.

• Eobard Thawne : So? What are we doing in the year 2000?

  Barry Allen : Cut the crap. I know you brought me here.

  Eobard Thawne : Um, no. I didn't. Well, then. I guess that makes our meeting just a case of right place, right time, huh? Oh, Flash... we are gonna have the most wonderful day together.

• Eobard Thawne : [sipping a beer]  Mmm. Mmm. Oh, boy. That's good. You seem tense; I really think you should try it.

  Barry Allen : Why don't you tell me what you want.

  Eobard Thawne : To enjoy this very special day. I mean, maybe this is some sort of cosmic gift, the change to torture you slowly one last time before I end your existence entirely.

  Barry Allen : You're here to kill me as a child.

  Eobard Thawne : You always were smart. Too bad you're not smart enough to save yourself this time. See, there's only two ways you can stop me tonight. One is to put me in Iron Heights right now and risk destroying the timeline which would wipe that wonderful wife and family right from existence in just a heartbeat.

  Barry Allen : And the second option?

  Eobard Thawne : You have to kill me, which you won't. So I guess... I've already won. How'd the parental reunion go today? Did you feel good to have them care for you one last time? Did you feel loved? Did you feel like you had a family?

  Barry Allen : You attacked me this morning. You knew they'd help me.

  Eobard Thawne : It must hurt to not able to tell them that you're their son. Tell me, does being this close to them again bring back all the pain I have ever given you? Good.

  Barry Allen : If your plan's so perfect, why are you wasting so much time? Why not just wipe me off the face of the Earth right now?

  Eobard Thawne : And ruin my pièce de résistance? No, no, no, no. I'm going to savor this entire day and the peace that it's brought me. Now, there's one last thing. I want to hear you say it, Barry. Say it.

  Barry Allen : You win. I can't stop you.

  Eobard Thawne : Delicious. You can't walk away from what's about to happen, Barry.

  Barry Allen : I know. I can walk towards it.

• Reverse-Flash : You wanna save me? Is this a joke?

  Barry Allen : No, I'm serious. Thawne, do you remember that day you told me about? 170 years from now? When you presented yourself to the world? Finally gained speed of your own?

  Reverse-Flash : Greatest day of my entire life. Until now.

  Barry Allen : Up until that point in your life you admired me. You wanted to be a hero.

  Reverse-Flash : And you destroyed everything I worked for. You saved that crowd. You took the credit that I should've had.

  Barry Allen : I know. And I'm sorry.

  Reverse-Flash : That's not what this is about. You know I win tonight. That's what this is all about.

  Barry Allen : You win one battle, Thawne. Not the war that's going on between us, neither of us can do that. But if you don't walk away tonight, you will lose everything.

  Reverse-Flash : [laughs]  Don't you know who I am? I have always been the hero, you're the villain, Flash! You're the one who reversed my life and dragged me into hell and that's why you die tonight! By my hand!
