Barry Allen : This is why you pulled me out the Speed Force? Buy me a meal?
Jay Garrick : Because you were about to reset the timeline again after screwing it all up. Oh, yeah, I know about that.
Barry Allen : How did you...
Jay Garrick : After your not-so-subtle reaction when you first met me. Harry told me all that happened with Zoom and your mom and your dad, so I decided I'd keep my eye on you for a bit.
Barry Allen : He'd tell you anything else?
Jay Garrick : He did. I'm your father's doppelgänger. Sorry about that.
Barry Allen : It's just... really weird.
Jay Garrick : And really sad, too... I'm sure. Having a loss like that in your life, I see why you'd wanna erase it. Who wouldn't try to save their parents? I understand that, Barry, completely. But the thing is, there are consequences to time travel.
Barry Allen : I have heard all of this before.
Jay Garrick : Not from me you haven't. I'm not some Doctor with a theory, Barry. I'm a speedster, like you, who's travelled in time, and made these same mistakes you are making right now. Here, let me show you something.
Barry Allen : Okay, you know what?
Jay Garrick : Humor me, kid. This coffee cup right here.
Barry Allen : All right, yeah.
Jay Garrick : Think of it as the space-time-continuum. Whenever you go back in time it breaks.
Barry Allen : For real? I mean...
Jay Garrick : Now... you can reset the timeline, you can try to fix it, but no matter how hard you try... it's never gonna be exactly how it was.
Barry Allen : Look, I've learned all this stuff that I didn't know before, okay? I'm not gonna make the same...
Barry Allen , Jay Garrick : Mistakes.
Jay Garrick : Yeah, what you just said right there? That is the paradox of time travel, and also the paradox of life. I mean, if I only knew then what I know now.
Barry Allen : Why have these powers if I can't go back and fix what I broke?
Jay Garrick : We're not gods, we're men, who, for whatever reason, have been given extraordinary abilities. The question you need to ask yourself is, what kind of hero are you gonna be? Are you just gonna take a do-over every time you make a mistake? Or will you live with them and move forward?
