Quotes 

  • Barry Allen : I wasn't the only one affected by the particle accelerator, was I?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : We don't know for sure.

    Barry Allen : You said the city was safe, that there was no residual danger, but that's not true, so what really happened that night?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Well... the accelerator went active. We all felt like heroes and then... it all went wrong. A dimensional barrier ruptured, unleashing unknown energies into our world: anti-matter, dark energy, x-elements...

    Barry Allen : Those are all theoretical.

    Dr. Harrison Wells : And how theoretical are you?

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : You can do this, Barry. You were right. I am responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw was a potential victim of my hubris. And, yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry, you can stop it. You... can... do this. Now, run, Barry, run!

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : We mapped the dispersion throughout and around Central City, though we have no way of knowing exactly what or... who was exposed. We've been searching for other meta-humans like yourself.

    Barry Allen : "Meta-humans?"

    Caitlin Snow : That's what we are calling them.

    Barry Allen : I saw one today. He's a bank robber, and he can control the weather.

    Cisco Ramon : This just keeps gettin' cooler.

    Barry Allen : This is not cool. All right? A man died. Mardon must have gotten his powers the same way I did, from the storm cloud. He's still out there. We have to stop him before he hurts anyone else.

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Barry! That's a job for the police.

    Barry Allen : Yeah, I work for the police.

    Dr. Harrison Wells : As a forensic assistant.

    Barry Allen : You're responsible for this. For him.

    Dr. Harrison Wells : What's important is you! Not me. I lost everything, I lost my company, I lost my reputation, I lost my freedom, and then you broke your arm and it healed in three hours. Inside your body could be a map to a whole new world - genetic therapies, vaccines, medicines, treasure buried deep within your cells and we cannot risk losing everything because you want to go out and play hero! You're not a hero. You're just a young man who was struck by lightning.

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : S.T.A.R. Labs has not been operational since FEMA categorized us as a class four hazardous location. Seventeen people died that night. Many more were injured, myself amongst them.

    Barry Allen : Jeez. What happened?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Nine months ago, the Particle Accelerator went online exactly as planned. For forty-five minutes, I had achieved my life's dream, and then... then there was an anomaly. The electron volts became immeasurable, the ring under us popped, energy from that detonation was thrown into the sky, and that, in turn, seeded a storm cloud...

    Barry Allen : ...that created a lightning bolt that struck me.

  • Cisco Ramon : You were in a coma.

    Barry Allen : For how long?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : [entering]  Nine months. Welcome back, Mr. Allen. We have a lot to discuss.

  • Barry Allen : I need to go.

    Caitlin Snow : No, you can't.

    Dr. Harrison Wells : No, no. No, Caitlin's right. No, now that you're awake, we need to do more tests. You're still going through changes. There's so much that we don't know.

    Barry Allen : I'm fine. Really, I feel normal. Thank you for saving my life.

    Caitlin Snow : [watching him leave]  Really?

    Barry Allen : [coming back]  Can I keep the sweatshirt?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Yeah, keep the sweatshirt.

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : What happened out there today? You were moving pretty well, and then something caused you to lose focus.

    Barry Allen : I started remembering something. When I was eleven, my mother was murdered. It was late. A sound woke me up. I came downstairs, and... I saw what looked like a ball of lighting. Inside the lightning, there was a man. He killed my mom. They arrested my dad. He's still sitting in Iron Heights for her murder. Everyone, the cops, the shrinks, they... they all told me that what I saw was impossible. But what if the man who killed my mom was like me?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Well, I think I can say unequivocally, you are one of a kind.

  • Barry Allen : It's hard to believe I'm here. I've always wanted to meet you face to face.

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Yeah? Well, you certainly went to great lengths to do it.

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : The hospital was undergoing unexplainable power outages every time you were going into cardiac arrest, which was actually a misdiagnosis because, you see, you weren't flatlining, Barry. Your heartbeat was moving too fast for the EKG to register it. Now, I'm not the most popular person in town these days, but Detective West and his daughter gave me permission to bring you here, where we were able to stabilize you.

    Barry Allen : Iris?

    Dr. Harrison Wells : Iris, yes. She came to see you quite often.

    Caitlin Snow : She talks a lot.

    Cisco Ramon : Also, she's hot.

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : Run, Barry, Run!

  • Dr. Harrison Wells : You can do this, Barry. You were right. I am responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw was another potential victim of my hubris. And yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry, you can stop it. You can do this. Now run, Barry, run!
