A Flash of the Lightning (2019)

Candice Patton: Iris West-Allen

Quotes 

• Barry Allen : I stared at that newspaper for so many years. First it felt like a guide. You know, like proof that things were headed in the right direction. Then it became a sword hanging over my head. A part of me always felt like... if I vanish in whatever crisis is coming... maybe I was still out there somewhere, looking for a way to come back to you. According to The Monitor, that doesn't happen.

  Iris West-Allen : "To save the lives of billions, The Flash must die." What kind of crap is that?

  [Barry chuckles] 

  Iris West-Allen : No, I'm serious. I mean, The Monitor shows here up out of nowhere and says you're suppose to die on December 10th? The last I remember, the article said that you were in a fight with Thawne, not some cosmic disaster.

  Barry Allen : The article changed.

  Iris West-Allen : If that article can change, then that means we can still change the future.

• Iris West-Allen : So they are going to scan our Earth for any other signs of antimatter and figure out a way to prevent whatever Crisis is coming.

  Barry Allen : It's not that simple.

  Iris West-Allen : Well, you said you saw a wave of antimatter destroy Earth. All we have to do is come up with a plan to stop it.

  Barry Allen : We can't stop what's coming. The Monitor was telling the truth.

  Iris West-Allen : We get Kara and Oliver and everybody. We create an antimatter dampener. I don't care. We just find a way.

  Barry Allen : I saw you and... Caitlin. I saw everyone die. The only timeline where you survived was if I died.

  Iris West-Allen : No, no, that's not the future.

  Barry Allen : I saw a billion futures, Iris.

  Iris West-Allen : Okay, but what about the billion and first or billion and second? We control our destiny. We... can change the timeline for the better.

  Barry Allen : Maybe this is the reason I was given powers. To save everyone.

  Iris West-Allen : You said this morning that you weren't giving up yet.

  Barry Allen : I have to accept this. We both do.

  Iris West-Allen : And do nothing while you sit here and wait to die? This isn't you. The Barry I know would never stop running. He would find another way to fight.

• Joan Williams : Your husband stared at me that same way when we first met.

  Iris West-Allen : I'm sorry. You look just like Barry's mother.

• Cecile Horton : I don't understand. I thought Allegra controlled radio waves.

  Iris West-Allen : So did we, but she fired a heat blast right at Ralph.

  Cisco Ramon : It wasn't just heat, it was ultraviolet radiation.

  Killer Frost : He got a sunburn.

  Ralph Dibny : [taking off his mask]  Yeah. From hell.

• Iris West-Allen : Your wound is still not healing.

  Barry Allen : Mm-hmm.

  Gideon : My readings indicate you were exposed to an extra-universal material that destroys positive matter on contact, a substance known as antimatter.

  Iris West-Allen : Antimatter? That's new.

  Barry Allen : There's a wall of this stuff clogging up the Speed Force. Gideon, how do I get past it?

  Gideon : Not without additional assistance. Fortunately, there is an expert in the field, Dr. Jay Garrick, formerly known as the Flash of Earth-3.
