Quotes 

• Oliver Queen : Barry, there's something I'd like to discuss before we go.

  Barry Allen : What's that?

  Oliver Queen : That you probably shouldn't go.

  Barry Allen : What?

  Oliver Queen : Oliver Queen is a public figure and an infamous vigilante. If you are in Gotham City, you're attracting the type of attention that we don't want.

  Barry Allen : No. If Gotham can handle the Batman, it can handle the Green Arrow.

  Oliver Queen : The Batman's an urban legend.

  Barry Allen : Wait. You don't believe Batman's real?

  Oliver Queen : He's an urban legend concocted by the Gotham police department to scare criminals. I'm the original vigilante, Barry!

  [Barry laughs] 

  Kara Danvers : Okay, if you guys are done fooling around...

  Barry Allen : Actually, you know what? Could you pull that thing up? Because, unlike you, my identity's not public, and I'd like to keep it that way.

  Oliver Queen : This isn't your real face!

  Barry Allen : It might end up being my real face if we don't sort this mess out, so could you?

  [Oliver lets out a frustrated sigh, but pulls the Flash mask over his face] 

  Oliver Queen : Happy?

  Barry Allen : Ecstatic.

  Kara Danvers : Apparently, you guys aren't done fooling around.

  [speeds off with Barry] 

  Oliver Queen : Well, I guess I'm running alone.

  [speeds off after them] 

• John Diggle : So... you're you.

  Curtis Holt : And you're you.

  John Diggle : An immortal Egyptian, aliens, parallel earth Nazis... I have no idea why I'm even surprised at this point.

  Curtis Holt : I'm still trying to figure out if this is more like "Freaky Friday" or "Quantum Leap."

  Barry Allen : No. If this were like "Quantum Leap," I'd only look like myself in the mirror.

  Curtis Holt : Yep. You're definitely not Oliver Queen.

• Kate Kane : Oliver Queen.

  Oliver Queen : Ahem.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, yeah. I'm Oliver Queen. Yeah. And you are?

  Kate Kane : The rain on your parade. If you're visiting Gotham to compare grappling hooks with Batman, you're out of luck. No one's seen him in years.

  Barry Allen : [to Oliver]  Told you.

  Oliver Queen : Myth.

• Oliver Queen : I lifted this off of a computer at the precinct. It should have the entire GCPD database.

  Barry Allen : You stole data from the police?

  Oliver Queen : No. The Flash did it.

  [Kara snickers] 

  Barry Allen : It's not funny.

  Kara Danvers : I'm not laughing.

• Barry Allen : No, if - if Gotham can handle the Batman, they can handle the Green Arrow.

  Oliver Queen : But the Batman's an urban legend.

  Barry Allen : Wait. You don't believe Batman's real?

  Oliver Queen : He's not real! He's an urban legend concocted by the Gotham Police Department to scare criminals and I'm the *original* vigilante, Barry!.

• Barry Allen : We both saw some stuff back at Arkham.

  Oliver Queen : I saw Evil Flash.

  Barry Allen : Eobard Thawne. I saw Malcolm Merlyn. I knew you'd been through a lot, but... I don't know, man, I never realized. I don't know how you do it. I wouldn't be able to live with the burdens you carry.

  Oliver Queen : Yes, you would. Barry, I always thought you had it easy. Everything was just sunshine and rainbows and everybody likes you. You have real steel in you, my friend. You can carry any burden thrown your way.

  Barry Allen : Some unsolicited advice?

  Oliver Queen : Hm.

  Barry Allen : Don't wait to work things out with Felicity. In our line of work, you never know how much time you got.

• Felicity Smoak : I've been summoned.

  Barry Allen : Yes, thank you for coming.

  Felicity Smoak : Of course. Things might be fraught between us, Oliver. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna show up.

  Barry Allen : They are?

  [looks at Oliver] 

  Barry Allen : They are?

  [Oliver nods] 

  Barry Allen : They are, yeah. Which is... sad.

• Kara Danvers : All right. So how do we find two people in a city of one point six billion?

  Barry Allen : There is a radio personality named Vesper Fairchild. She knows everyone in Gotham, and I know her. She was doing an exposé on white collar crime back in the day, and I wanted to persuade her that Queen Consolidated was above board.

  Oliver Queen : So you slept with her, right?

  Barry Allen : No! I... I don't know.

  Kara Danvers : Gosh. You really got around back in the day, didn't you?

  Barry Allen : Oh, one time, Oliver cheated on his girlfriend with her sister.

  Oliver Queen : Barry!

  Kara Danvers : Oh no! Ohh!

  Barry Allen : You did!

• John Diggle : This thing isn't gonna be permanent, is it?

  Oliver Queen , Barry Allen : I hope not.

  Barry Allen : Jinx.

• Barry Allen : Guys, take a look at this.

  [he unveils the Bat-Signal] 

  Barry Allen : You still think he's a myth?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah! Let's go.

  Barry Allen : [to himself]  Batman's real.

• Oliver Queen : What were you thinking?

  Barry Allen : That you were about to get yourself shot. You're welcome.

  Oliver Queen : I was de-escalating the situation! You know, like, um...

  Barry Allen : What, like I would?

  Oliver Queen : Uh-huh.

  Barry Allen : Guess what, man? I handled it exactly how you would!

  Kara Danvers : Okay, you guys, maybe taking on each other's personalities worked for Amazo, but... you were not gonna talk your way out of getting mugged, and you escalated the situation way too fast.

  Barry Allen : So what would you have done?

  Kara Danvers : What I would have done is super-sped us right out of there. All they would have seen is a gust of wind.

  Oliver Queen : I mean, hindsight's 20/20. But we'll follow your lead next time.

  Kara Danvers : [sarcastic]  Because there will really be a "next time" when someone threatens three superheroes with a gun.

• Caitlin Snow : Those lightning strikes, they were a Flash from another dimension trying to breach to us.

  Cisco Ramon : We think it was Jay Garrick. Or... a Jay Garrick. He said to fix the situation, we have to "get the book."

  Kara Danvers : John Deegan was reading a book in the drawing Oliver drew.

  Oliver Queen : Okay. So we find the book in there, or we find Deegan and we make him tell us where it is.

  Barry Allen : Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. A-Another Flash from a parallel universe just lightnings in, tells us to jump, and we ask "How high"?

  John Diggle : If we wanna sort this thing out, then yes.

  Oliver Queen : I have no idea how we're gonna break into a mental asylum.

  Kara Danvers : I have some ideas.

• Oliver Queen : If I remember right, the radio station was this way.

  Barry Allen : I'm surprised they put it in the bad part of town.

  Kara Danvers : It's cute how you think there's a good part of town.

• Cisco Ramon : Who's this badass?

  Elseworlds Green Arrow : That's... not Batman.

  Batwoman : Kate Kane told you get out of Gotham. You should have listened to her.

• Elseworlds Green Arrow : Mar Novu, you're gonna stand down.

  Elseworlds Flash : You're gonna use that book to help us set reality right.

  The Monitor : Well, I certainly wouldn't have placed it on Deegan's hands if that weren't my intent.

  The Flash : Enough. You will not do to this Earth what you did to mine.

  The Monitor : I admire your persistence, Barry.

  [the Flash charges at Novu, but Novu opens a portal and The Flash runs into it] 

  Elseworlds Flash : He said you were testing us.

  The Monitor : And, thus far, I'm unimpressed. A crisis is imminent. Someone is coming, someone far, far more powerful than myself. I mean to prepare.

  Elseworlds Green Arrow : By giving a nut bar an all-powerful reality-rewriting book?

  The Monitor : I'm testing universes to find one. I hope stand strong enough against him.

  Elseworlds Flash : You're causing chaos, and you're blaming everyone else!

  The Monitor : In the hopes of finding the champions that would save the multiverse entire. You are the first of those I've placed under fire who have managed to retrieve the Book of Destiny...

  [retrieves the Book from A.R.G.U.S. HQ via a portal] 

  The Monitor : ... for all the good it did you.

• Kara Danvers : How did it go with Vesper?

  Barry Allen : She hung up on me. Apparently, I did sleep with her.

  Kara Danvers : [to Oliver]  Hm.

• John Diggle : So, why didn't you tell Felicity?

  Barry Allen : Well, because we tried to tell everybody at S.T.A.R. Labs, and it didn't really go over so well.

  Oliver Queen : Felicity and I have enough problems as it is without introducing body swapping.

• Barry Allen : So this is Gotham. Doesn't look so tough to me.

  Supergirl : Where's Oliver?

  Barry Allen : Huh. I don't know.

  Supergirl : [a red streak flies past]  Whoa! Guess he's still getting the hang of it.

  [Oliver returns] 

  Oliver Queen : [indignantly, as Barry laughs]  I'm still getting the hang of it.

• Kara Danvers : Bruce Wayne got us out of jail? It doesn't sound like him.

  Oliver Queen : No, it wasn't. Wayne left Gotham three years ago.

  Kara Danvers : Why? To go where?

  Oliver Queen : [shrugging]  No one knows.

  Barry Allen : So who's manning the shop now?

• Oliver Queen : Apparently, after he left, Bruce's board of directors went to town with a bunch of aggressive get-rich-quick deals.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, but an abandoned building didn't bail us out. Right?

  Kara Danvers : [they all notice Kate above them]  Whoa. That is definitely not Bruce Wayne.

• Oliver Queen : Where you going?

  Kara Danvers : I'm gonna put on my work clothes and do an x-ray fly-by of the city.

  Barry Allen : I don't think Ms. Kate would be too thrilled with us running around her city.

  Kara Danvers : Well, unless she has some kryptonite stashed somewhere, I'm really not worried.

• Caitlin Snow : So, how does a book make people change bodies?

  Elseworlds Flash : Deegan said he was using the book to change reality.

  Cisco Ramon : Same question. How does a book change reality?

  Elseworlds Green Arrow : We'll figure that out when we get back to Star City.

  John Diggle : Yeah, 'cause we're gonna need some help with this lock.

  Batwoman : Good. Then you'll be leaving Gotham. You guys have caused enough problems for one night.

  Elseworlds Green Arrow : Hey, would hitching a ride in the Batmobile be out of the question?

  Batwoman : Get. Out.

• Barry Allen : Jay?

  The Flash : No.

  Barry Allen : Oh, my God. Dad?

  The Flash : My name is Barry Allen. Hello, John.

  John Diggle : Do... do I know you?

  The Flash : You're not wearing your ring. Things must be different here.

  Oliver Queen : Barry, where's there?

  The Flash : My Earth, Earth-90. I have traveled from there to warn you.

  Barry Allen : Warn us about what?

  The Flash : His name is Mar Novu, but he calls himself the Monitor now. He's been unleashing the Book of Destiny across the multiverse to test different Earths.

  Barry Allen : Test them for what?

  The Flash : A crisis that he believes is coming. Novu thinks the Elseworlds created by the Book of Destiny approximates the collision of realities that we're facing.

• Barry Allen : I would never compare myself to a total badass like Batman.

  Kara Danvers : What I think Oliver is trying to say is thank you for getting us out of jail.

  Oliver Queen : What Oliver's actually trying to say is who are you and why are you helping us?

  Kate Kane : Gotham has enough problems without a guy in green leather showing off his arrows to everyone. So the faster you find what you're looking for, the faster you can get the hell out of my city.

  Kara Danvers : Uh, but, wh-what... what should we call you? Rain? Ms. Parade?

  Kate Kane : Kane. Kate Kane.

• Oliver Queen : Got him. John Deegan.

  Kara Danvers : Oh. Illegal experimentation, torture. Hmm. Seems like he was conducting experiments on his own patients' brains.

  Barry Allen : Sounds like a real charmer.

  Oliver Queen : Well, he was acquitted. All the charges were dropped on technicalities.

  Kara Danvers : Where can we find him now?

  Oliver Queen : No known address.

  Barry Allen : What about employment?

  Oliver Queen : Well, he was fired, suspended by the medical board for two years. That was... five years ago.

  Kara Danvers : So no idea where to find him.

  Oliver Queen : No.

  Barry Allen : Except somewhere in Gotham. Needle in haystack.

• Oliver Queen : [outside Arkham Asylum]  So we're sure he works here?

  Kara Danvers : Well, it's probably too late for him to still be at work, but if we find his office, maybe we can find his home address or something?

  Barry Allen : Do you think you have enough of a grip on your powers to do a superspeed reconnaissance?

  Oliver Queen : I don't think that we should risk it if I don't.

  Kara Danvers : Okay, well, then we break in, do some old-fashioned snooping.
