Quotes 

• Joe West : [given an EMF gun]  How do you use this?

  Dr. Harry Wells : All right, so you aim it, and then you pull the trigger.

  Joe West : Smart-ass.

• Barry Allen : [takes off tachyon device]  Hey, uh, do we think that, um, we can get this thing smaller? It kind of sucks.

  Dr. Harry Wells : If it sucks, then, yeah.

• Dr. Harry Wells : [to Hunter Zolomon]  One day... I'm gonna knock that smug expression clean off your face.

• Dr. Harry Wells : I would ask you to talk Barry out of reopening the breaches to my Earth.

  Joe West : [laughs]  Ah, I can't do that.

  Dr. Harry Wells : No? You can't find a way to change his mind, for both our children's sakes?

  Joe West : Look, I think it's just as dumb as you do, but I learned a long time ago that I can't talk Barry out of anything once he sets his mind to it. Zoom is terrorizing this other world - your world. He can't let it go. But, look, why don't you do ME a favor? Go with Barry. Help him.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Help him? Why would I do that?

  Joe West : 'Cause he's got a much better chance of defeating Zoom if you're involved.

• Barry Allen : Hey, Cait, I know how hard this is gonna be for you, but we have to stop him.

  Caitlin Snow : I know, and I want to be supportive. I just... I can't face Jay - whatever his real name is.

  Barry Allen : What does that mean?

  Caitlin Snow : Well, you remember when I was looking for his doppleganger, right?

  Barry Allen : Yeah. And you couldn't find him.

  Caitlin Snow : Because there is no Jay Garrick on this Earth. His doppleganger's name is Hunter Zolomon.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Hunter Zolomon? A... are you sure?

  Caitlin Snow : Yeah. Why?

  Dr. Harry Wells : Well, because on my Earth, Hunter Zolomon was a convicted serial killer.

  Caitlin Snow : [Wells shows them a newspaper article]  That's Jay?

  Dr. Harry Wells : No, that is Hunter. Last public photo of Hunter Zolomon. Instantly recognizable to people from my Earth. On my Earth, serial killers are an anomaly, so a lot of media attention... to this. There was a podcast. When Hunter was eleven, his father killed his mother right in front of him. Father sent to prison, Hunter grew up in the foster care system.

  Barry Allen : Years later, he was convicted on twenty-three counts of murder.

  Cisco Ramon : Twenty-three? That's, like, some real Hannibal Lecter-type level.

  Dr. Harry Wells : After the trial, Hunter was sent to the Saint Perez Mental Asylum for the Criminally Insane, given daily electroshock therapy to cure him of his urges, and then faded from view.

  Caitlin Snow : Until the night your Particle Accelerator exploded.

  Dr. Harry Wells : That's right. The dark matter crept into the mental asylum. I had thought... piping the explosion underground would limit exposure. I was wrong. All it did was create an unstoppable monster.

  Barry Allen : He's not unstoppable. Jay doesn't know that we know who he really is. He thinks that his past is a secret.

  Cisco Ramon : So?

  Barry Allen : I think I have an idea of how we can stop him.

• Dr. Harry Wells : Have you had any luck locating my daughter?

  Joe West : Not yet, but I circulated her picture through every department in the region, and I reached out to some friends in Keystone.

  Dr. Harry Wells : She's smart. She's gonna know how to stay hidden. She's...

  Joe West : We'll find her.

• Dr. Harry Wells : I said I would help you get faster. I did not say I would help you give the man who kidnapped my daughter and tortured her a chance to do it again.

  Caitlin Snow : Hey, we are not gonna let that happen.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Oh, you're not gonna let that happen. Gosh, I wish I'd known THAT the first time.
