- Spectre: I've unlocked your potential, Barry.
- Barry Allen: By touching my head?
- Spectre: Use the power with caution. Do you trust me?
- Barry Allen: Are you Oliver Queen?
- Spectre: Yes.
- Barry Allen: Then I trust you with every cell of my body.
- Spectre: Good. Now run, Barry. Run.
- The Flash: Um, hello? What the hell is this?
- The Flash: I'm asking myself the same question literally. No. This - this can't be happening. This - you - what are you doing here?
- The Flash: Well, I'll tell you that when you tell me where here is. Is this cosplay? Oh, do you want a selfie, bro?
- The Flash: No, no. We're not. I'm also The Flash.
- The Flash: You're also the what?
- The Flash: The Flash?
- The Flash: The Flash? The Flash.
- The Flash: It's complicated.
- The Flash: I like your outfit. It seems... comfy.
- The Flash: I was thinking yours is pretty cool.
- The Flash: Smooth.
- The Flash: Seems safe and... It's breathable.
- The Flash, The Flash: [they shake hands] I'm Barry Allen.
- The Flash: No!
- The Flash: What?
- The Flash: What does that mean? How can this...
- The Flash: This should be impossible now.
- The Flash: Should be impossible now?
- The Flash: You don't know about the...
- The Flash: Oh, my God. Don't do this to me. I don't know about the what? Are you okay?
- The Flash: Oh, my God.
- The Flash: [fading away] I told Victor this was possible.
- The Flash: What does this mean?
- Spectre: All of you, listen to me. This is why you were selected. You're Paragons.
- Ryan Choi: Yeah. I'm still a little unclear what all that means.
- Spectre: It means you're powerful enough to hold the line, to buy us the time we need.
- Batwoman: To do what?
- Spectre: Rebirth the universe.
- Sara Lance: What, like, a do-over?
- Spectre: The Dawn of Time is the only place it can happen. I'll light the spark, you fan the flame.
- Lex Luthor: And how do we do that?
- Spectre: You'll know when it's time.
- Lex Luthor: Why do you cosmic types always have to be obtuse?
- Spectre: If I knew, I'd tell you. I don't. All I have is trust. Do you trust me?
- The Flash: With every cell in my body.
- The Flash: What I'm about to tell you isn't gonna make any sense, but you're not really h-here right now. You're actually... .
- Oliver Queen: In the Speed Force. I remember. I... I remember everything.
- The Flash: Okay. Well, in that case... that arrow from The Monitor, I always felt like there was something you weren't telling me.
- Oliver Queen: I didn't want to burden you with the choice I made.
- The Flash: The choice to do what?
- Oliver Queen: You and Kara, Barry, you were fated to die trying to save the world.
- The Flash: Right before you died, you said you'd given up everything for me and Kara. You made some kind of devil's bargain with The Monitor to save us, didn't you?
- Oliver Queen: No. It wasn't a devil's bargain, Barry, and I'd make it again in a second.
- The Flash: It cost you your family, Oliver. It cost you your life.
- Oliver Queen: Dying's the easy part. The dead are at peace, but the real heroes are the ones who have to keep going.
- Ryan Choi: Narcissist, sociopath, evil genius--there are a lot of ways to describe Lex Luthor.
- Lex Luthor: Agh! Idiot! Why couldn't I be trapped at the edge of eternity with someone possessing more than 200 IQ points.
- Ryan Choi: But I find douchebag to be the most descriptive.
- Oliver Queen: Do you remember what I told you?
- Barry Allen: Dying is easy.
- Oliver Queen: I'm at peace. The real heroes...
- Barry Allen: Are the ones who have to keep going.
- Lex Luthor: [to Supergirl] We are on an alien world. Any number of Chestbursters or Predators could be lying in wait. Don't you capes ever watch a movie?
- Supergirl: The Speed Force?
- J'onn J'onzz: I can only assume. We were moving through the Speed Force when we were attacked.
- Oliver Queen: Uh, by somebody called...
- J'onn J'onzz: The Anti-Monitor.
- Oliver Queen: Doesn't even sound like an actual name.
- Ryan Choi: Hey! Stop trying to kill each other. I got through to Novu.
- Lex Luthor: You just ruined a perfectly good bad guy plan. You know that, new guy?
- Jim Corrigan: What did you see?
- Spectre: Everything. I see everything now.
- Jim Corrigan: Then you're ready.
- Spectre: Why would you make me believe all that?
- Jim Corrigan: Every fight, every punch you've landed, every kick you've landed, every arrow you've fired, they have all led you here to this moment, to the ultimate fight
- Spectre: Who am I fighting?
- Jim Corrigan: Not who. What. The Anti-Monitor.
- Spectre: The Monitor's adversary.
- Jim Corrigan: Not just adversary. A being who stands against all there ever was or will be, the Apocalypse itself given life and form and terrible purpose.
- Spectre: How do I beat him?
- Jim Corrigan: With help. It's time to get your friends.
- Sara Lance: What, you guys building modern art now?
- Ryan Choi: Hey, team. We're repurposing leftover time masters tech. Mr. Luthor and I think we've retrofitted it into a teleportation device.
- Kate Kane: To teleport us to where exactly?
- J'onn J'onzz: Kate makes a good point. There is no... there out there anymore.
- Sara Lance: So we send somebody to test it.
- J'onn J'onzz: I'll go.
- Supergirl: No. We've lost too many good people already. Thanks for volunteering, Lex.
- Lex Luthor: Well, that's very cold. Was it because I killed you parallel reality cousin?
- Sara Lance: Oliver?
- Spectre: Yes and no. It's complicated.
- Ryan Choi: Nice outfit. Heh. Very... Sith.
- Barry Allen: Oliver?
- Spectre: I am Oliver Queen, but I'm also something more.
- Barry Allen: More what?
- Spectre: Some might call me a ghost, a spectre that's in tune with the entire multiverse.
- Ryan Choi: So there's still a multiverse out there?
- Spectre: No. It's gone, replaced with antithesis.
- Supergirl: An anti-matter universe.
- Spectre: Which we need to prevent from happening. Right now, the Anti-Monitor is at the Dawn of Time, fighting to make permanent his destruction of worlds.
- Kate Kane: Then we go there, and we end him.
- Oliver Queen: Barry?
- Lois Lane: Did you go out shopping for a new costume while you were supposed to be out saving the world?
