Quotes 

• Henry Allen : Sometimes you just have to slow down to get back to where you want to be.

• Henry Allen : I thought he was dead.

  Barry Allen : He's dead. This is... this is Harrison Wells from Earth-2.

  Henry Allen : Earth-2?

  Barry Allen : I'll explain later.

• Henry Allen : At my trial for your mother's death, a lot of our family and friends were in the courtroom. They heard awful things about what I had done to your mother. It didn't matter that it wasn't true. Every day, I could see it on their faces, the moment when I lost them, until everybody had stopped believing in me. Well, that was my reality. You know, I was gonna serve a life sentence for a crime I didn't commit, but worse than that, every time I looked at someone in the eye from that moment forward, they were gonna believe that I had killed the woman I loved in front of our son. So, yeah, I do know what it's like being... destroyed.

  Barry Allen : How did you get past that?

  Henry Allen : I embraced it. Accepting it was the only way that I could move forward, but I knew that if I could survive that and learn to believe in myself again, then I could survive anything. You know what lit that belief in me, Barry? You. Eleven-year-old you, running around, believing in me, gave me that hope. And now I'm giving it back to you, son. No more monsters can take that from us.

• Henry Allen : So, this is what it's like every time you go after one of those meta-humans?

  Barry Allen : Uh... pretty much, only Cisco and Caitlin are normally the ones in here and I'm the one out there.

  Henry Allen : Ah, there's no reason you shouldn't be.

• Henry Allen : Iris showed me what happened with Zoom. That was hard to watch. I can only imagine what that must have been like for you.

  Barry Allen : He showed everyone in Central City that their hero wasn't good enough to stop him.

  Henry Allen : Well, that's certainly what it looked like. Was he right? Your body's healed, Barry, and, yet, here you are feeling the shame of losing.

  Barry Allen : I can't stop him. I know it, he knows it, and now everyone in this city knows it, too. They don't believe in me anymore, Dad.

• Henry Allen : My son'll do it. Won't you, Flash?
