- Joe West: [searching for Grodd in the sewers] I can't believe I'm down here lookin' for a supernatural gorilla. I'm terrified of regular gorillas.
- Cisco Ramon: Forget multiple personalities. You guys have seen The Exorcist, right?
- Joe West: You and your movies.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: You know they're gonna find me. And you, you're not as smart as you think you are.
- Dr. Harrison Wells: Oh, really? 'Cause I'm a genius where I come from. Imagine how smart that makes me here.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: 'Cause you're from the future?
- Dr. Harrison Wells: Hmm.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: With a name like Eobard, I guess you have to be.
- Dr. Harrison Wells: No, Eobard is a distinguished name for a distinguished member of a distinguished family.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: Depressing to think all my descendants are as crazy as you.
- Dr. Harrison Wells: Oh, no, no, no. The Thawne bloodline is chock-full of influential politicians, scientists, captains of industry. Failures such as yourself are just an exception.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: And what exactly makes me such a failure?
- Dr. Harrison Wells: Tough question, Eddie. Where to start? Oh, how about your career as a police detective? It's spectacularly uneventful.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: Yeah. Well, we'll see.
- Dr. Harrison Wells: No, we have seen. *I* have seen. *I* am from the future. And you are the only Thawne to be all but forgotten by history. Waste of a life, waste of a man. And... Oh, no. You don't even get the girl.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: What are you talking about?
- [shows Eddie a holographic newspaper front page]
- Dr. Harrison Wells: Observe, if you will, the byline. Barry marries Iris and not you. We're just gonna have give this ring back to Grandma Agnes. You, Eddie, won't be needing it.
- Iris West: [narrating] Think about your best friend. It could be your wife, your father, maybe someone you grew up with. It's the person you can't wait to talk to at the end of the day, the person that knows everything about you, who roots for you. Now imagine your best friend had a secret. No, not a secret. A universe of secrets. Would you confront him? Would you stay silent? Either way, you know nothing will ever be the same again.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: You told me we're related, that you're from the future. Prove it.
- Dr. Harrison Wells: Yeah, I don't have to prove anything to anyone.
- Detective Eddie Thawne: Well, I think you're full of crap, and whatever you're trying to do, you're not gonna get away with it because The Flash is...
- Dr. Harrison Wells: [becoming Reverse-Flash for a moment] Stop talking.
- Barry Allen: What happened to Grodd?
- Caitlin Snow: We don't know. After the Particle Accelerator exploded, I went down to check on him, and his cage was empty.
- Joe West: So he could have been affected by the same energy that hit Barry?
- Cisco Ramon: When the dark matter hit Grodd, all the drugs and serums that Eiling injected him with could've activated. Maybe the Accelerator explosion created a meta-gorilla. I think we know what happens when a super-intelligent ape who's pissed off at humans escapes captivity.
- Caitlin Snow: Cisco's right about the first part.
- Iris West: There have been reports of some sort of animal down in the sewers.
- Cisco Ramon: Mm. Alligators. C.H.U.D.s. R.O.U.S.es. Am I the only one who watches movies around here?
- Barry Allen: You will get what's coming to you eventually.
- General Wade Eiling: I'm not ashamed of my actions, Mr. Allen. You've seen what these meta-humans are capable of. Soon, your prison won't be enough.
- Barry Allen: Not all meta-humans are dangerous.
- General Wade Eiling: Oh, you're afraid that I know you're The Flash? Don't get your tights in a twist, I've known for months. I wanted to come after you, I would've done it by now.
- Barry Allen: But you think you're gonna need me.
- General Wade Eiling: Harrison Wells turned me over to that beast. He used me like a damn puppet; so, like it or not, we have a common enemy, you and I. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a gorilla to hunt.
- Cisco Ramon: What was his lair like? Did he eat the banana? Does he like King Kong? He's more of a Planet of the Apes kind of ape?
- Joe West: Uh, terrifying, no, and I didn't ask.
- Iris West: I don't understand. Everyday you guys figure out a way to help people. All of The Flash's powers and all of this equipment and you can't save Eddie and my dad?
- [walks off disappointed, if not in disgust]
- Cisco Ramon: Looks like when you went down the thief also got disoriented too.
- Barry Allen: Maybe we both got whammied.
- Iris West: [entering the lab] Than you know how it feels. Hi, Barry. Or should I say The Flash.
