Quotes 

• Joe West : All this time we were trying to save Iris, you're telling me that we should've been trying to save you too?

  Barry Allen : You did save me, Joe. You took an 11-year-old boy with a broken heart, and you gave him a home, and so much love. No son ever felt more love for a father.

  Joe West : No father ever felt more proud of a son.

• Iris West : [reading the future newspaper]  "Iris West-Allen".

  Barry Allen : It changed back.

  Joe West : Does that mean what I think it means?

  Barry Allen : Yeah, Joe. The future's ours again.

• Joe West : So for the millionth time, I'm lost on all this time travel stuff. What happens now? With Savitar? Iris didn't die. That changes things, right?

  Barry Allen : I mean, since that Iris didn't die, future me never goes down that same dark path. I never create time remnants to fight Savitar.

  Iris West : And if future you never creates these time remnants, then Savitar himself is never born.

  Julian Albert : Precisely. Once the time paradox catches up with him... He'll be erased from existence.

  Joe West : But I saw him. He didn't disappear.

  Julian Albert : Not yet.

  Barry Allen : But he will, Joe.

  Joe West : Any guess how long that's gonna take?

  Barry Allen : Maybe a few hours?

  Joe West : He can do a lot of damage in a few hours.

  Iris West : Well, we can't just sit around and wait for Savitar to disappear.

  Julian Albert : But Savitar won't become Savitar if he's erased.

  Barry Allen : Not unless he pulls off whatever he's got in mind before the paradox hits him. He stole the bazooka for a reason.

  Joe West : Yeah, why?

  Barry Allen : I don't know, but remember, he's been planning this for centuries. He wants to be a god. He must need the bazooka, and Caitlin, to achieve his goals.

• Joe West : Anybody got any good news?

  Julian Albert : [holds up a vile]  Actually, uh, voilà.

  Joe West : What is that?

  Julian Albert : This, Detective, is the cure for Caitlin.

  Iris West : You're kidding. You figured it out?

  Julian Albert : Not by myself. With the help of... Caitlin's mother. This is experimental gene therapy. This? This will re-write Caitlin's meta-DNA. This will bring back... Caitlin.
