Quotes 

• The Flash : What do we got, Chester?

  Chester P. Runk : Multiple fire alarms at Ivo Labs. You know, hopefully it's not an overcooked chicken tenders in the microwave situation.

  The Flash : I said I was sorry for that.

• The Flash : We need to talk, Thawne.

  Eobard Thawne : You took my speed. What more do you want? My body is broken. I can barely think. I can't sleep. I used to able to run around the world in five seconds. Now it takes me at least that long to cross this stupid cell because... You took my speed.

  The Flash : You did this to yourself, Thawne. Armageddon was your plan.

  Eobard Thawne : And it should have worked. But it didn't, and now... I'm gonna have to find a new way to kill you.

  The Flash : Oh, you can try.

• The Flash : Okay. I get it. You don't want to help me because even after all this... You're still jealous.

  Eobard Thawne : I'm not jealous of you. I pity you.

  The Flash : I mean jealous of them.

  Eobard Thawne : Who?

  The Flash : This new speedster out there living a life you lost while you can barely move. Their journey is just beginning. Yours is just over. What's it like knowing you've been replaced?

  Eobard Thawne : I won't be replaced. I will never be replaced because no speedster is ever gonna feel for you what I do! Hate. Hate. Hate! Hate! Pure and infinite hate. I hid in plain sight for years to be next to you, to be close to you so I could hurt you. I devoted my life so I could destroy yours! No speedster will ever replace me! No speedster would ever feel what I felt, and because they don't, this new speedster... Doesn't care about you at all, and so there's another reason they don't want to be found.

  The Flash : So what is it?

  Eobard Thawne : You really don't see it? I guess I am faster than you after all. This about it, Allen. A new speedster running through the streets... With frightening new speed just like you eight years ago.

  The Flash : They're hiding because they can't control their abilities. The fire was an accident.

• Dr. Meena Dhawan : I can run at the speed of sound, but you...

  The Flash : Can run a lot faster than that. Look, the point is, you can't outrun me. So why don't you just tell me who you are and what's really going on?

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Look, I'm not a supervillain. That fire was an accident.

  The Flash : I know. But you risked people's lives to steal a battery.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : And I'm so sorry about that. I'm not a natural speedster like you.

  The Flash : That's why you've been so hard to trace. Your speed's temporary.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Exactly. You see, my... associate and I found a way to generate my own speed source. I'm still trying to work out the kinks, so the effects only last a few minutes. I thought the battery could help extend the window, and I figured why sped another four years calibrating sodium nitrate cells when I could just borrow the only one I'd already made? I designed the original Newton Battery when I was a young engineer working here at IVO.

  The Flash : The Newton Battery was invented by Meena Dhawan.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : [unmasks herself]  It's Dr. Meena Dhawan, actually.

  The Flash : You-you're the CEO of Fast Track Labs. Your book, "Quantum Gravity and the Universe", I've-I've read it three times. You're a genius.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : That's surprising and very flattering. Unfortunately, this genius intellect hasn't been any help in mastering these new abilities. That's why I've been trying to take a low profile, running trials with my team. The truth is... I just want to use my gifts to help people.

  The Flash : Well, I'm glad to hear that. I-when I first got my speed, I... I had a mentor, someone to coach me on how to use my powers, so if you're interested.

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : You'd really do that for me?

  [they shake hands] 

  Dr. Meena Dhawan : Thank you. I promise you won't regret this.
