Quotes 

• Ralph Dibny : We'd make a fortune. An improv group make of superheroes? We can take it to Washington. We'd be the DC Comics.

  Cisco Ramon : No, Ralph.

  Ralph Dibny : First rule of improv is say yes.

  Barry Allen : Would it kill you to take training seriously?

  Ralph Dibny : Would it kill you to open up your mind grapes just a little?

• Ralph Dibny : [to Barry after he falls]  Two for the landing, but perfect ten for the thud.

• Ralph Dibny : I know this is serious. I watched... I watched Izzy die in front of me. I'm scared out of my mind.

  Barry Allen : Well, you know, you got an odd way of showing it.

  Ralph Dibny : Yeah, well, not everybody grew up with a superdad like Joe West who makes it easy to talk about your feelings. When I was ten years old, my dad walked out on me and my mom. And I was terrified. But my mom, she was even more afraid. So, you know, I just started making jokes. Started doing stupid gags and funny bits and whoopie cushions. Anything to push her fear away. And the thing is, after a while I started to push my fear away, too.

  Barry Allen : I had no idea, Ralph.

  Ralph Dibny : It's not that I don't care about beating DeVoe. It's not that I don't care about being a great hero. It's just that ever since then, anytime that I'm afraid, I either hide or I make jokes.

• Barry Allen : You were great out there tonight, man.

  Ralph Dibny : Thank you. I had a lot of help. And I had a great teacher.

  Barry Allen : You helped me realize that I can't always take everything so seriously. Even when it comes to Thinker.

  Ralph Dibny : Wait a second. Are you telling me that I, Ralph Dibny, taught Barry Allen, superhero extraordinaire, a lesson? What could this mean?

  Barry Allen : Means you're a great hero. And you make this team better by being on it.

  Ralph Dibny : Ah, the circle is now complete. When I came here, I was but the learner. Now I am the master.

  Barry Allen : It's also good to be humble.

  Ralph Dibny : But how can I be humble...

  [inflating his chest] 

  Ralph Dibny : When I am swollen with pride?

• Barry Allen : [in the Pipeline]  This is an interesting place to hang out.

  Ralph Dibny : You come here to suck the fun out of being benched?

  Barry Allen : I... no, I came for your help, actually.

  Ralph Dibny : You want help from the guy who can't take anything seriously?

  Barry Allen : Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so quick to judge. But with DeVoe so many steps ahead of us, it just... to see you joking around in the middle of this just made me feel like you weren't taking it seriously.

• Barry Allen : What happened?

  Joe West : Robbery. Stole the Kahndaq Dynasty family crown. It was brought here for the museum exhibition. The security guard said that it was being transported in a steel-plated crate, weighs about 200 pounds. Suddenly disappeared without a trace, and then reappeared completely smashed.

  Barry Allen : So was anything else missing in the museum?

  Joe West : Just the crown. Nothing else is missing.

  Ralph Dibny : Should I, uh, stretch around the perimeter? Check things out?

  Barry Allen : No, no. I mean, I can tell from here, to cause that type of impact, the case had to be moving at at least 55 miles per hour.

  Joe West : So we're looking for a meta with super strength.

  Barry Allen : I mean, maybe. Are there fingerprints on the case?

  Joe West : I'll have them dust it, send the results in.

  Ralph Dibny : Why wait? I can just, uh, grab the tape. Get the prints right now.

  Barry Allen : [he starts to use his powers]  No, hey.

  Jay the Security Guard : [carrying a large vase with Bob]  It was definitely Killer Frost, and she looked at me.

  Barry Allen : [gently shoving his shoulder]  Ralph!

  [Ralph's arm whips up and knocks the vase out of the security guards' hands] 

  Jay the Security Guard : Dude! I need this job!

  Ralph Dibny : Allen! Look what you did.

• Ralph Dibny : I always knew you were a light weight.

  Barry Allen : I swear, Ralph.
