Quotes 

• Barry Allen : Iris, I... I don't know if it's crazy to think that you can hear me. I guess right now, I just need to believe it. I miss you. So much.

  Iris West-Allen : [in the mirror-verse, freeing herself from her restraints]  I know you probably can't hear me, Barry, but... being away from you hurts more and more every day. But I still have hope because I know that you are out there fighting to get me back home.

  Barry Allen : If you can hear me... I guess I just need you to know that...

  Iris West-Allen : I love you. And that love is constant.

  Barry Allen : Across dimensions. Across time. Through the end of the world and back. And if I know you... I know you aren't just fighting to find your way home.

  Iris West-Allen : And I'm gonna find Kamilla. And I'm gonna find Singh. But most of all...

  Barry Allen : I'm gonna get you back.

  Iris West-Allen : I'm gonna find my way back to you.

• Barry Allen : Now you're gonna kill me?

  Eva McCulloch : There's no need for that. You're wounded. You lost your speed. And your healing is not what it used to be. You're not much of a threat, are you? You just stay out of my way, Flash, and I'll stay out of yours. I have unfinished business to attend to. And a whole world to liberate.

• Cecile Horton : Why can't I get inside my own house?

  Barry Allen : [moving CCPD evidence boxes out of the doorway]  Sorry. Hold on. One second.

  Cecile Horton : [finally entering]  Jeez!

  Barry Allen : [she sees the mess inside]  Cecile, I can explain.

  Cecile Horton : What the hell is this?

  Barry Allen : Iris isn't Iris.

• Barry Allen : Where is my wife?

  Iris West-Allen : She's all you can think about, huh? What do you think about me, Barry? All those days... weeks. It wasn't her. It was me. Enjoying meals together. Talking about our day. Sharing your bed.

  Barry Allen : Oh, shut up.

• Barry Allen : [locked in the Pipeline]  Nash! Cecile! Don't listen to her. That's not Iris.

  Iris West-Allen : You know, you can stop playing this game, or rot in there. I don't care. Either way, I'm gonna find my husband.

  Harrison 'Nash' Wells : I should have noticed something. I should've figured something out. I should've...

  Iris West-Allen : No, no. No one's to blame. He or it was pretty convincing.

  Cecile Horton : If that's not Barry, then what is he? He's like some mirror version of himself.

• Iris West-Allen : She says you're always gonna be in her way. And now you're too slow to stop me.

  Barry Allen : Whose way? Who's making you do this?

  [they fight, with Iris using the mirrors in the room to her advantage] 

  Iris West-Allen : You should really mind your surroundings.

  [he sees her glance up at a mirror on the ceiling] 

• Cecile Horton : Can you, uh, maybe hurry up? You know, when Iris gave me a spare key, it was to water her plants. It wasn't to hack her computer.

  Barry Allen : Okay, well, it's not hacking Iris' computer if it's not really Iris.

  Cecile Horton : What are you even looking for, anyway?

  Barry Allen : Anything that might be suspicious from the past few weeks.

  [finding something] 

  Barry Allen : Bingo.

  Cecile Horton : What'd you find?

  Barry Allen : This photo. It was deleted from Kamilla's camera, but not before it was uploaded to the Citizen's cloud server. Do you see this text?

  Cecile Horton : Prismatic Filter. What is that?

  Barry Allen : It's the science that we're gonna use to test our imposter's identity. Expose her for good.

• Barry Allen : Look, I... I don't know how she did this, but... but you have to see that this isn't my wife.

  Iris West-Allen : No, you're not my husband, Barry. You wanna know what the real test is? The real Barry would've fought harder. He would've fought to come back home. A whole week went by, and you never even tried. You used to say that I was your lightning rod. Now let's see if you're still mine.

  Barry Allen : [as she turns the prismatic scanner on, he begins to refract like a mirror]  Guys. I'm me. I'm the real Barry.

  [Nash powers up his gauntlet] 

  Barry Allen : I'm... hey!

  Cecile Horton : Wait! Nash, no! Back up.

  Barry Allen : Cecile? You believe me?

  Cecile Horton : Yes. I do.

  [putting a pair of meta-dampening cuffs on him] 

  Cecile Horton : And I'm sorry.

• Eva McCulloch : This didn't have to be like this, Flash. You don't know what it's like in there. I had to get out.

  Barry Allen : Iris. Where... where is she?

  Eva McCulloch : She's still in the world I left behind. Along with the rest of my insurance policy. Chief Singh, and your friend Kamilla. They're safe. How long is up to you.

• Barry Allen : Okay, so then I thought well, obviously, this can't be an Iris doppelganger from another Earth because doppelgangers don't exist anymore. Because the multiverse doesn't exist anymore. Because Crisis blew it all up, right?

  Cecile Horton : [getting over her initial reaction]  Uh-huh.

  Barry Allen : Exactly. So if that's true, who else do we know that could be pretending to be Iris?

  Cecile Horton : I... what...

  Barry Allen : Shapeshifters. All right, so Everyman was my first suspect. And Cisco's report show that he is alive post-Crisis. Then I remembered something that Breacher said about Plastoids. Which made me realize, there could be shapeshifting Martians on this Earth now. The-the... this fake Iris doesn't even have to be from our planet. But then it hit me that J'onn J'onzz would sense if there was a Martian hidden among us, so that was a dead end, but it led me to my biggest breakthrough yet. Okay, Cecile, the night that this all started, Iris left to investigate a story. I analyzed her phone's GPS, and it shows that she went to McCulloch Tech. Cecile, I think that something happened to Iris that night.

  Cecile Horton : Barry... all of this... is this the reason you've been avoiding Iris?

  Barry Allen : That's not Iris! Okay, look... I-I didn't want to tell anyone else about this until I gathered more evidence, but now you know, so I... what do you think?

  Cecile Horton : Uh... what do I think? What do I think? I think... I think that this... this sounds...

  Barry Allen : I know how it sounds, but look, we've seen crazier. We've seen crazier. And look at all the clues. Okay, I mean, she speaks Italian all of a sudden. She smashed a bottle over some guy's head. She made incredible pancakes.

  [she laughs to herself] 

  Barry Allen : Cecile, trust me. Iris can't make pancakes. All right? But the biggest clue was... her throwing me out. The real Iris would never stop fighting for us.

  Cecile Horton : Okay. Okay, um... sweetie. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, you're feeling a little scared, you know? Because your marriage is going through a rough patch, and maybe what you need to do is just go see Iris.

  Barry Allen : That's not Ir... Cecile, look. Do you know why my Speed Gauge is still glowing red? It is because the moment that I stepped out of the loft, I realized Iris, the real Iris, my wife, she is somewhere else. Probably in danger. And if that's true, I need my speed back. My-my lightning, all my powers if I'm gonna save her. It's all I've thought about ever since. No matter how insane this all sounds, I know in my heart that the real Iris is out there somewhere. Waiting for me to find her. I won't let her down.

• Iris West-Allen : What's going on?

  Barry Allen : You're not Iris. That's what. And you're not leaving until you tell us who or what you are.

  Iris West-Allen : [scoffing laugh]  What the hell are you talking about? And why are you pointing that gauntlet at me?

  Barry Allen : This photo was taken on Kamilla's camera. You see the prismatic fragmentation? Only your image is affected. I think that the camera's filter is revealing a dimensional shift. Showing us things in the picture from another dimension. Things that don't belong in ours.

  Iris West-Allen : Cecile, you actually believe this?

  Cecile Horton : You seemed off in your office earlier, and... and that photo.

  Iris West-Allen : That could've been anything. A glitch in the camera tech. Guys, this is insane.

  Barry Allen : [showing her a small, hand-held device]  This prismatic scanner is just a more powerful version of the camera's filter. If I'm wrong, and you are from this dimension, then when the prismatic wave hits you, you'll look completely normal. But if I'm right, you're gonna look just like that photo. And you're gonna tell us where the real Iris is.

  Iris West-Allen : Barry, how could you do this? For god's sake, I'm your wife.

• Barry Allen : [fighting Mirror-Iris]  I won't fight you anymore. You were made from Iris. A part of her heart is inside you. I've seen you be kind. I've seen you laugh. I know that wasn't all a lie. You can be more than this. Not Iris, but... yourself. You have to want it.

  Eva McCulloch : [watching from the Mirror-verse]  No.

  Barry Allen : You have to choose it.

  Iris West-Allen : I... I choose me. Go find Iris. Go find her, Barry. Go save Iris.

• Eva McCulloch : Good work. You'll apply Ramsey's blood on your side of the mirror. Once it is fully absorbed, I will activate the R-CEM on my side. Together, they will reconfigure the molecular stability of the dimensional barrier that burns organic matter. Creating a safe passageway between the two worlds. Next time I speak to you, I will be standing right next to you. Liberated.

  Iris West-Allen : Success is assured.

  Barry Allen : [speeding in]  I wouldn't be so sure about that. Where's my wife?

• Barry Allen : [freed from the Pipeline]  Cecile?

  Cecile Horton : I don't have all the facts. And the ones I do have tell me that you're not who you say you are. You are Barry. I know it in my heart. And I'm willing to bet my life on it. Now go get Iris back.
