Fastest Man Alive (2014)

Jesse L. Martin: Joe West

Quotes 

• Barry Allen : Joe, what I said about you not being my father...

  Joe West : Barry, I know. I know I'm not your father.

  Barry Allen : You're right, you're not. You're just the man who kept me fed and in clothes, who sat beside my bed at night until I fell asleep because I was afraid of the dark, helped me with my homework. You taught me how to drive, and shave... and you dropped me off at college. Sounds a lot like a dad to me.

• Joe West : You haven't said anything to Iris about all this, have you?

  Barry Allen : No, I made you a promise. I keep my promises.

  Joe West : Keep on lying like that. You're liable to get struck by lightning again.

• Barry Allen : I'm dealing with a lot right now.

  Joe West : Look, I know you are. Believe me, I'm dealing with it, too. I've always had a very simple set of beliefs. Gravity makes things fall, water makes things wet, and, up until a few weeks ago, I believed the fastest man could run a mile in four minutes, not four seconds.

  Barry Allen : I could do it in three.

  [Joe glares at Barry] 

  Barry Allen : [realizing]  Not relevant.

• Caitlin Snow : [to Barry]  We're gonna need to fashion you a new diet based on your metabolic changes.

  Cisco Ramon : I've done a few calculations. You need to consume an amount equal to roughly 850 tacos - unless we're talking cheese and guac, which is like a whole other set of equations.

  Joe West : For Mexican, I recommend Tito's. On Bruckner Avenue? Best burrito in the city.

• Joe West : You were wrong.

  Barry Allen : I have been wrong a lot this week. You're gonna have to be more specific.

• Joe West : [shoots a clone of Danton Black]  Any more of them?

  Caitlin Snow : Nope.

  Barry Allen : Why did it start moving?

  Dr. Harrison Wells : The prime. My guess is the prime is on the move. This one heard the summons to battle.

  Joe West : And I know where he was summoned to - Stagg Industries.

  Barry Allen : You should call it in.

  Joe West : Police can't fight this. What Black's become, like Mardon... beyond me. Maybe way beyond them, too. The only person it's not beyond is you. You gotta do this. I get it. So for once in your life, do what I tell you to do. Go stop him.

• Joe West : You think because you can run real fast that you're invincible? You're not.
