Quotes 

• Nora West-Allen : Okay, I thought something big was supposed to be going on down here.

  Iris West-Allen : Oh, I don't know. It's pretty big.

  Barry Allen : Feast your eyes on the newest addition to the Jitters menu.

  [Nora gasps excitedly] 

  Iris West-Allen : The XS-presso.

  Nora West-Allen : [squeaking]  I got my own drink!

  Iris West-Allen : It's pretty schway, right?

  Barry Allen : Think of what could be next. An XS action figure? XS Day?

  Nora West-Allen : Guys, you are embarrassing me.

• Barry Allen : We made an arrangement. We cure him and then Grace.

  Iris West-Allen : Okay.

  Orlin Dwyer : Why are we here and not at a hospital?

  Barry Allen : We have to be sure that the cure is successful.

  Cisco Ramon : We created it. We're the ones who know how it works.

  Caitlin Snow : Once administered, the cure will take 60 seconds to eliminate the meta-human powers in your system. That means the wound will then open. You'll need me to suture it shut so you don't bleed out.

  Orlin Dwyer : Why not Doc Ambres?

  Iris West-Allen : She's being held for questioning.

  Orlin Dwyer : No, it's Ambres, or we're done.

  Barry Allen : All right, we'll get her.

  Orlin Dwyer : If anything goes wrong, of if you're lying to me, I'll kill every... last... one of you.

• Nora West-Allen : Are you ready? This is gonna be one of the biggest challenges of your career as a hero. Do you know what you're gonna to say?

  Barry Allen : Oh, yeah... you know, yeah. I've... I've got some loose thoughts.

  Sherloque Wells : Oh, great. Well, that instills all of us with confidence, right? Loose thoughts? What are you going to say? "Hey, most bloodthirsty enemy! Stop."

  Iris West-Allen : Guys, it worked for Marlize. Maybe not so much for Savitar, but...

  Barry Allen : I will figure out what to say to him, all right? I got this.

• Iris West-Allen : Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. Say that again?

  Nora West-Allen : There's a photo, it's in the Flash Museum, of Flash and Cicada; the last time they were ever seen confronting each other in public, and in the photo, by Flash's feet, the exact same burn mark left by the meta that we just fought.

  Caitlin Snow : This acid meta was at their final confrontation?

  Cisco Ramon : He must be Cicada's final target.

  Barry Allen : His final target before I vanish and he starts killing again.

• Killer Frost : We good?

  Iris West-Allen : Yes. Philip Master is secure in the Pipeline.

  Cisco Ramon : Wait. Acid Master's real name is Philip Master?

• Caitlin Snow : We ran city-wide racial recognition scans.

  Iris West-Allen : And scanned for dark matter signals from Cicada's dagger.

  Barry Allen : That was our last shot at confronting Cicada.

  Iris West-Allen : We don't know that. The change in the timeline, that photo that Nora saw at the Flash Museum, it could be different now.

  Caitlin Snow : Maybe it doesn't even exist.

  Sherloque Wells : After all, the timeline is malleable.

• Nora West-Allen : All day, I've been trying to figure out a way to stop Cicada, and all day you've been trying to pull me away. Why are you pushing this list?

  Iris West-Allen : I mean, it's just the last time that we may get to spend together, Nora. I mean, once we stop Cicada, you'll go back to your time and... us like this together will end.

  Nora West-Allen : Mom, it doesn't end. We have our whole future together.

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, for you it'll feel like no time has passed, but for me, it'll be decades before I... see you like this again.

• Nora West-Allen : You know, I had a list, too. Your wedding, Auntie Jenna's baby shower, Jitters, the Enlightenment.

  Iris West-Allen : Those were all the moments in time you wanted to go back and see us?

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah, so I could have memories and experiences with all of you. I get it. I should've been sensitive, and I-I'm so sorry.

  Iris West-Allen : It's okay.

  Nora West-Allen : No, it's not. I was so focused on making sure Flash beat Cicada, I forgot what I was supposed to really be focused on. You and dad. You're the reason I came back to this time, not fighting big bads or getting my own XS-presso. So that I could spend time with my parents. My family. I don't know how much time we have left together or how much of your list we're gonna get done, but from now on, every moment we have left, we're gonna make it a memorable one. I promise.

  Iris West-Allen : [hugging]  Well, I guess we can cross "hugging while drinking tea" off our list.
