Quotes 

• Joe West : I don't understand. How could Savitar be you?

  Barry Allen : He's not me. Not really.

  Cisco Ramon : He's all the worst parts of you. It's like in "Star Trek" when the transporter splits Kirk into Good Kirk and Bad Kirk.

  [to H.R] 

  Cisco Ramon : Please tell me you at least have "Star Trek" on your Earth?

  H.R. Wells : "Voyager".

  Cisco Ramon : I hate spinoffs.

• Barry Allen : You're not so scary without your armor.

  Savitar : What can I say? I outgrew red.

  Barry Allen : I know what you are. You're a time remnant.

  Savitar : A temporal duplicate. Created when you run back in time and meet yourself. You brought a remnant to life last year to defeat Zoom. Your duplicate died, saving the multiverse, and you continued your happy little life. And it would've stayed that way, but then you decided to play God. You created Flashpoint and changed everything.

  Barry Allen : I went to the future. My future self told me that he created time remnants to stop you. But you slaughtered them all.

  Savitar : All but one. Me. I lived. But a funny thing happened when I did. You. Joe. Wally, Cisco. You all shunned me because I wasn't the true Barry Allen. I was an aberration. A disposable hero. Future you failed to mention that, didn't he?

• Joe West : What is that thing?

  Cisco Ramon : This can send electrical charges through the transmitters in his suit and, theoretically, it should jolt his memories.

  Iris West : You want to electroshock his brain?

  Wally West : Won't that fry it even more?

  Julian Albert : If we don't do that, all the people are gonna die.

  Killer Frost : Life's a game of chance.

  Cisco Ramon : Okay, Barry, you're gonna feel something. It might hurt, might sting, might suck.

  Barry Allen : Wait, what?

  Cisco Ramon : Probably all three.

• Savitar : It's like looking in a mirror.

  [indicating the burn scars on his face] 

  Savitar : Well... not quite.

• Joe West : So, you said there was an emergency. Where's the fire?

  Cecile Horton : Ah, it's funny you should put it like that. Lucius Coolidge.

  Barry Allen : Who?

  Iris West : Heat Monger.

  Cecile Horton : The worst arsonist Central City's seen since Mick Rory went off the grid. That is until Flash here stopped him.

  Barry Allen : What's Flash?

• Julian Albert : [learning Savitar is a future version of Barry]  That explains why Caitlin was willing to follow him. He has a face that she trusts.

  Barry Allen : Half of one, anyway.

• The Flash : How did you become Savitar?

  Savitar : I was broken and alone. I wanted the pain to end. And that's when I realized the truth, Barry. God feels no pain. All I had to do was become one. And I only need two more things: for Iris to die so that you are driven so far into the dark that I can be born.

  The Flash : And the other?

  Savitar : It may sound ironic, given who I'm talking to, but I'll keep that one to myself.

  The Flash : [vibrating his hand]  What happens if I kill myself? If I die, you'll never be created.

  Savitar : Cause and effect's a tricky thing. Didn't work so well for Eddie, did it? Shot himself in the chest, Thawne's still kicking around. See, that's the thing about time travel, Barry. The more you do it, the less the rules apply to you.

  The Flash : But us having this conversation now, we're changing the future.

  Savitar : Are we? My ascendancy is nearing. When I have control of all of time, it will be you who is abandoned and forgotten.

• Kid Flash : Looks like you remembered how to save the day.

  The Flash : Like riding a bike.

• Killer Frost : Now you wanna fight?

  Cisco Ramon : We don't want to fight you.

  Killer Frost : Can't really avoid that, now can we?

  Barry Allen : Yeah, we can. You can stay here with us. We're your friends. Your family.

  Julian Albert : [she turns to leave]  Caitlin, I can fix you.

  Killer Frost : You already tried.

  Julian Albert : Well, then I'll try harder! I don't care what it takes. I don't care what I have to do. I swear to you, I will find you a cure. Caitlin, I love you.

  Killer Frost : I don't love you, Julian. I never did. I never loved any of you.

• Joe West : Do we think he knows he's the Flash? That he has superspeed?

  Cisco Ramon : [throws something at Barry]  Hey Barry, catch!

  Barry Allen : [misses miserably]  Sorry...

  Julian Albert : Oh my Lord.

  Cisco Ramon : Its like God-awful.

  Julian Albert : He's pathetic!
