Hartley Sawyer: Ralph Dibny, Elongated Man

Quotes 

• Ralph Dibny : Nora, where would you find this hyper-conduit in 2049?

  Nora West-Allen : Probably Ollins Laboratory. Ollins won a Nobel prize for quantum engineering.

  Cisco Ramon : Ollins? As in Sebastian Ollins?

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah. Do you know him? He is a true genius.

  Cisco Ramon : [scoffs]  A genius, you say. The guy couldn't even stay awake through a single physics lecture. In fact, I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for his very smart, very considerate college roommate lending him notes, helping him study, he wouldn't have made it through his finals! Nobel prize, my ASS!

  Barry Allen : Yeah, he knows him.

• Ralph Dibny : All right, so, this is the original timeline with the original Cicada, David Hersch. This is the night of the Enlightenment, when Nora interfered with the satellite, giving us our Cicada, Orlin Dwyer. That's also the same night that Grace goes into a coma. This is where it gets complicated. At some point in the future, Grace wakes up, she becomes her own full-fledged Cicada. She goes bac in time, she kills her Uncle with his own dagger. What happens to all the metas that Dwyer killed? Do they get un-killed? What about all the meta that Grace killed in the future? What did she kill them with? And most importantly, what happens in the timeline where Grace never killed Dwyer. Something doesn't add up.

  Barry Allen : You might be right. But right now, there won't be any future for any metas if we don't get rid of that dagger. Now. This is our last chance. We have to figure out how to find Grace. Or we lose everyone.

• Barry Allen : [regarding the speedster trap]  Man, this thing brings back memories.

  Ralph Dibny : Good ones or bad ones?

  Barry Allen : Thawne ones. We trapped the Reverse-Flash in this thing before we even knew he was Thawne.

  Cisco Ramon : Well, we actually ended up trapping his Speed Mirage, while his real self just sat there chilling in his wheelchair.

  Ralph Dibny : Man, Thawne's plans got plans.

• Barry Allen : She's going to use all those metas like a battery. What are we gonna do?

  Ralph Dibny : Reach in, lose our powers, destroy the dagger, stop Cicada from Supergirl-ing away, then regroup for the emotional fallout.

  Barry Allen : Fallout. Cisco, where did you send Fallout's energy when he was going nuclear?

  Cisco Ramon : Earth-15. It's a dead Earth.

  Barry Allen : Let's breach the atomizer there.

• Ralph Dibny : Man, Thawne's plans got plans.

• Cisco Ramon : The atomizer's off.

  Killer Frost : Flash!

  The Flash : [she slides the mirror gun to him on a patch of ice]  The dagger.

  Elongated Man : [realization starts to dawn on him]  She didn't have the dagger in the future.

  [in 2049, Thawne's chest plate is removed, revealing the dagger underneath] 

  Elongated Man : The dagger *is* Thawne's plan.

  [Cisco throws the dagger into the air, and Flash takes aim with the mirror gun] 

  Elongated Man : Don't shoot it!

• Elongated Man : Good morning, sunshine. A little different with your power-dampening dagger, huh?

  Grace Gibbons : Oh, I don't need a dagger to kill you. I never had it before I came to this time.

• Sherloque Wells : Not great, but this dark cloud does have a silver lining. Which is if Cicada had everything that she needs to carry out her plan... would've already done so.

  Ralph Dibny : He's right. She must be missing something or else we'd be done.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, but not for long. She's not gonna waste any time. Whatever it is that she needs, she's out there looking for it right now.

  Iris West-Allen : Well, then we move right away. We get the cure to everyone who needs it as soon as possible.

  Ralph Dibny : So we just up and release some game-changing wonder drug?

  Barry Allen : We tested it. We know it works. People need a choice now more than ever. Do we have enough of the cure?

  Cisco Ramon : Not nearly enough.

  Nora West-Allen : Caitlin, how fast can you make more?

  Caitlin Snow : Guess we'll find out.

• Barry Allen : Hey, you find anything?

  Cisco Ramon : Confirmation that She-Cada hasn't stolen everything she needs, so we have some time.

  Barry Allen : Finally some good news.

  Cisco Ramon : Except what she did steal was a quantum tunnel converter. The first working prototype of its kind.

  Ralph Dibny : [seeing Barry and Nora's looks]  Yeah, that's the same face Cisco made when he heard.

• Barry Allen : The converter can transform dark matter energy to practical energy.

  Nora West-Allen : Cicada's gonna use her dagger to superpower the atomizer.

  Cisco Ramon : If she wants to connect it to the atomizer, the last piece she'll need is a hyper-conduit, and those are pretty hard to come by, to say the least. She'll be lucky to locate one in the CC area at all.

  Ralph Dibny : Well, we'd better find it first.

  Cisco Ramon : We'll get to it.

• Cisco Ramon : Stagg, Mercury, Ivo.

  Nora West-Allen : None of them have a hyper-conduit compatible with the converter Cicada stole.

  Ralph Dibny : You know, now that I've actually experienced this whole time travel thing, I think I understand it a little bit better. Which makes me understand Thawne's plan less and less. Why would he send Nora back to create a new Cicada only for a newer Cicada to appear who's harder to stop than the one Nora created?

  Iris West-Allen : Ralph, can we get away from Thawne's plan and try to stick to our own?

• Ralph Dibny : I know you guys want me off this whole Thawne thing, but you've got to hear this.

  Cisco Ramon : Ralph...

  Ralph Dibny : No, you've got to look at this. You've got to hear this. So just... just give me a second, all right?
