Quotes 

• Iris West-Allen : No, Ralph, I meant you, okay? That bomb could have torn you to shreds.

  Caitlin Snow : Or Joe, or any of the police outside.

  Ralph Dibny : Relax, ladies, my cells are completely polygamized.

  Caitlin Snow : Polymerized?

  Ralph Dibny : Yeah, that. Which means they can stretch and take a bomb blast.

  Iris West-Allen : Oh, my God.

  Ralph Dibny : Dibny is in-dib-structable.

• Ralph Dibny : My first supervillain thunderdome challenge. This is awesome.

  Iris West-Allen : Ralph, you don't know this guy. He's totally dangerous.

  Ralph Dibny : He's throwing bouncy balls and wearing a bedazzled peacoat. I got this.

• Ralph Dibny : The Elongated Man? It was just an expression.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Has a certain...

  Cisco Ramon : I don't know.

  Dr. Harry Wells : "Je ne sais quoi" to it.

  Caitlin Snow : I like it.

  Ralph Dibny : Well, I hate it.

  Cisco Ramon : Well, maybe you should have let me do the naming.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Exactly.

  Ralph Dibny : Oh, don't worry, you'll get your chance. There's no way this is going to stick.

  Dr. Harry Wells , Cisco Ramon : Probably gonna stick.

  Ralph Dibny : The Elongated Man? Please, it's so literal. You think Prince would have settled for "Shorty Guitar Man"?

• Iris West-Allen : Cisco, next time you go out with him.

  Cisco Ramon : Iris, a chicken needs to leave its roost sooner or later. Especially when that chicken insists on doing his own solo missions.

  Iris West-Allen : This is bad.

  Ralph Dibny : This is *really* bad. Stretchy Man, that's a terrible name. Also, now that I"m gonna be on TV all the time, this grey suit, got to go.

  Cisco Ramon : Hey, easy, chickadee.

• Ralph Dibny : Hey, has Barry joined a gang yet? I've got some friends on the inside. I can make some calls.

  Iris West-Allen : [hitting him with the folder she's holding]  Shut up, Ralph.

  Ralph Dibny : Okay. I will stop helping now.

• Robber : All right, first, I want a car. Something eco-friendly, like, uh... like a Prius.

  Joe West : [a little taken aback]  Okay, we can do that.

  Robber : [oblivious to Ralph rescuing the hostages]  Good. Uh, right. Now, second. Uh, I want a plane, okay? A private plane. Okay? And a salad, all right? I'm counting calories.

  Joe West : Okay, it's gonna take us an hour to arrange that.

  Robber : You better hurry up, because these hostages don't have much time.

  Elongated Man : [appearing, as the robber realizes the hostages are gone]  Should have gone with a steak, pal. 'Cause it's the last decent meal you're getting for the next five to ten years.

  Robber : Who the hell are you?

  Elongated Man : Your friendly neighborhood superhero. You can call me...

  [stammering] 

  Elongated Man : Mr... one second.

  [into his comms] 

  Elongated Man : Guys, this is a huge moment for me. What's my name?

  Cisco Ramon : I was wondering where you were going with that.

• Robber : Hey, where are my hostages?

  Elongated Man : Uh, bathroom break. They just couldn't hold it anymore. Don't worry, though, they're totally safe.

  Robber : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Get back, freak.

  Elongated Man : Freak? Oh, sticks and stones may break my bones, buddy. Well, they used to. Not anymore.

• Robber : I'll blow this whole city block.

  Elongated Man : Uh, you do realize you're a part of that block, right? Come on, man, it's a weekday. People just want to get off work, go home, and watch the boob tube. So why don't you take off that vest and...

  Robber : No, no, don't touch me!

  [as Ralph removes the bomb and contains the blast, the robber passes out] 

  Iris West-Allen : Ralph, are you okay?

  Elongated Man : [coughing out smoke]  Yeah. Just, uh, wicked heartburn.

• Ralph Dibny : What I really need, guys, is a new superhero name. Ramon, you've had all this time. You can't come up with anything?

  Cisco Ramon : Patience, okay? I'm getting to you. I've just been a little preoccupied, what with Barry in prison and all!

• Iris West-Allen : [coordinating searches for Prank]  Hey, Ralph, do you, um, want to go to your usual spots, see if any of your contacts have seen her?

  Ralph Dibny : Sure. I need a chaperone. Caitlin, you're up. It's happy hour; you're buying.

  [groaning, she stands to follow him out] 

  Ralph Dibny : Come on, use Killer Frost's credit card.

  Caitlin Snow : No way, Jose.

  Ralph Dibny : You think Ralphy's made of money?

• The Trickster : Hello, Central City! It's been far, far too long since my beautiful face graced your screens.

  Ralph Dibny : Whoo, this kid's got a face for radio.

  Cisco Ramon : Trickster's hijacking the city's broadcasting signals.

  The Trickster : Today, we're going to play a little game I like to call "What Does This Do?". Looks like a regular, old bouncy ball. But what does this do?

  Iris West-Allen : Cisco.

  Cisco Ramon : Tracing.

  The Trickster : Let's find out if and when you throw it hard enough...

  [he throws it away, and a nearby cab blows up] 

  The Trickster : [cackling]  Kaboom!

  Cisco Ramon : He's downtown, corner of DeMeo and Bilson.

  The Trickster : Bring me the Stretchy Man, or else you're gonna go "boom-boom."

• Cisco Ramon : [seeing Ralph's superhero suit under his civilian clothes]  You still haven't taken that off, huh?

  Ralph Dibny : Oh, I sleep in this.

  [moving to leave, then turning back] 

  Ralph Dibny : You mind breaching me there? It's a lot faster.

• The Trickster : Where are you, Stretchy Man? I've got plenty more where that came from.

  Elongated Man : [breaching in]  Nice suit, Fallout Boy.

  The Trickster : Yuck. Yours could use some work.

  Elongated Man : Ooh, look at that cutting wit.

• Elongated Man : You wanted me, here I am.

  The Trickster : Great. Do you want to play, uh, catch?

  Elongated Man : [catching a bouncy ball, which detonates in his hand]  You're really blowing this supervillain fight.

  The Trickster : Well, it's my Central City return party. And your death will make me a star.

  Elongated Man : [he's unharmed by a round of throwing stars]  Child's play.

  The Trickster : [pulling out a Super-Soaker]  Okay. All right, this is what I call the Hurty-Squirty Gun.

  [Ralph is initially unharmed, then begins screaming in pain] 

  Elongated Man : Tricked ya! It's acid, with a little ingredient X. I call it "axid".

• Caitlin Snow : He's panicking, his heart rate is off the charts.

  Iris West-Allen : Ralph, are you okay?

  Elongated Man : [still in pain]  Help!

  The Trickster : Burn, Stretchy Man, burn!

  Vibe : [breaching in and knocking him backwards]  Not today, Satan!

  Elongated Man : [they breach back to S.T.A.R. Labs]  What the hell did he do to me?

• Ralph Dibny : What the hell was that stuff?

  Caitlin Snow : Looks like Axel created some sort of super acid.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Yeah, it's got a pH level in the negative 50s, and all it did was burn through your skin?

  Cisco Ramon : God, if it were anybody else, it would melt right through them like xenomorph blood.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Like in...

  Cisco Ramon : "Alien".

• Ralph Dibny : But you said my cells were polymerized.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Uh, no...

  Ralph Dibny : You said nothing could hurt them.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Dibny, I didn't say that. I said your cells were bonded unlike anything I've ever seen. I've never see acid like this, and so, cannot be responsible for things I have never seen.

  Ralph Dibny : It definitely hurts.

  Dr. Harry Wells : Mm-hmm, of course.

  Iris West-Allen : Well, now we know what your kryptonite is.

  Ralph Dibny : What the hell is kryptonite?

  Cisco Ramon : What?

  Dr. Harry Wells : Oh, come on.
