Quotes
-
Barry Allen : I'm sick of the whole business, all right? I want to live a normal life without life and death emergencies happening every time I turn around.
Christina McGee : But you can't just leave town. I mean, where would you go?
Barry Allen : I don't know. I... I'd travel around. Who knows? If I find someplace I like, maybe I won't come back at all.
Christina McGee : So, you're just going to turn your back on Central City and all its problems?
Barry Allen : According to Joe Kline, I am the problem.
Christina McGee : Barry, Joe Kline is just one man.
Barry Allen : I never wanted these powers in the first place.
Christina McGee : And now, because you feel unappreciated, you're just going to quit.
Barry Allen : You know, sometimes I get really tired of you critiquing my entire life like you were my therapist or my mother. I mean, you're not exactly the easiest person to get along with, you know?
Christina McGee : I never realized my friendship was such a burden. You know, maybe it would be better for both of us if you left town.
Barry Allen : Look, this is not about appreciation. The man who murdered my brother has been set free. The system I have believed in my entire life has blown up in my face. And now somebody's actually accusing me of murdering Jay. You don't understand. You can't understand.

Barry Allen : Someone once told me The Flash would be forgotten in a few years. I never thought he'd end up in a museum. All these people out there waiting for me to save them. I don't know if I can be what they want be to be.
Christina McGee : I believe in you.

Christina McGee : Julio told me what happened.
Barry Allen : Yeah, the electric shock. Must've recharged my metabolism for a few seconds. It didn't last.
Christina McGee : Julio also told me why you disappeared. I guess I owe you an apology.
Barry Allen : No. That night I tried to leave town, but I couldn't. That was partly because of The Flash and it was partly because of you.
Christina McGee : Stop it. I can't handle it. I prayed for years for you to come back. Until I finally I gave up. On everything.
Barry Allen : I don't believe that.
Christina McGee : For God sakes, Barry, grow up! Maybe nothing's changed for you but everything's changed for me. I no longer believe that love conquers all or-or the good guys always wins. I'm not sure I believe anything anymore. But I don't want you complicating my life. Now, as soon as you're feeling up to it, I'd like you leave.
Barry Allen : Tina. I need your help to become The Flash again. There must be something you can do.
Christina McGee : While you were unconscious, I ran some tests. Your metabolism's in a very dangerous state. Any attempt to revive your powers could kill you.

Christina McGee : Look, there could be another way.
Julio Mendez : How?
Christina McGee : Barry's here because of an accident. A tear in the space-time continuum. Now, if he could get back through that tear, maybe he could keep all this from happening.
Barry Allen : You mean, go back in the past and stop Pike from taking over Central City in the first place?
Christina McGee : Yes.
Lt. Warren Garfield : Is that possible?
Christina McGee : Theoretically.
Barry Allen : How do we do it?
Christina McGee : There's only one way. We've got to break into S.T.A.R. Labs.
Julio Mendez : Oh, that would be suicide.
Christina McGee : No, not necessarily. If they're still using the same old security system, I should be able to override it and get us all inside.
Barry Allen : I guess we don't have a choice.
