Quotes
-
Barry Allen : You saved my life, and you're the only other person I know who wears the mask.
Dr. Desmond Powell : Oh, no. Wore. I came out of retirement for that Ghost business. Thought I was twenty-five again.
-
The Flash : Next time, just tell me where we're headed.
Dr. Desmond Powell : The hell with that. Then you'd end up beating me here. When I go to this much trouble, I want to get my money's worth.
-
Curtis Bohannan : It should have been all three of us. You, me, and the Flash.
Dr. Desmond Powell : Yeah, just a bunch of crimefighters out murdering the bad guys.
-
The Flash : You should stay in better shape.
Nightshade : Did you really search every room in this mansion already?
The Flash : Twice. I found the secret passage in here. Really puts your garage to shame, doesn't it?
Nightshade : Do you have a headquarters?
The Flash : On my salary, an apartment.
-
The Flash : I want answers. I need them now.
Pearl : You look like my second husband Eddie. Only naked.
The Flash : I said I want answers.
Fosnight : Relax. You're the least of our worries. Nightshade's popped half a dozen small timers last week.
Pearl : I hope you're here to protect us from him.
The Flash : This killer's an imposter.
Nightshade : That's right. No need for protection from me, Pearl. Not from the original. We're all too old to be adversaries anymore. Let it be.
-
Nightshade : Fosnight. Long time since I brought you down. Short conning for Gorilla Grodd out of Helltown.
Fosnight : Yeah. I took one of your tranq bullets. I slept for three days. At least I woke up. This guy's claiming to be you. He's, uh... He's another story.
The Flash : But why kill Double Decker? I heard he went straight.
Fosnight : Like an arrow. This Nightshade imposter's got snakes in his head.
The Flash : I'll leave you here. I know a way to get a profile on just the kind of man we're looking for.
[runs off]
Fosnight : He oughta slow down. He's gonna give himself a coronary.
-
Dr. Desmond Powell : Bet you didn't get in your Sunday best just to come see me, did you?
Barry Allen : Actually, I'm, uh, ahem, meeting someone for dinner.
Dr. Desmond Powell : Oh. Anybody I know?
Rebecca Frost : Professionally and personally.
Dr. Desmond Powell : [wolf whistles]
Rebecca Frost : I'll take that as a compliment, you sexist pig.
-
Joe Kline : Dr. Frost said that you were a killer. Would you like to respond?
The Flash : Get that mic out of my face!
Joe Kline : Then how about sharing the real you with our audience?
Nightshade : [shoots tranq in Kline's neck] Ask his agent.
-
The Flash : What are you doing?
Nightshade : Now some mobster's using name of Nightshade to justify a blood bath. I've gotta clear my name.
The Flash : I know how you feel, but I can handle it.
Nightshade : No. This is my fight now. This Deadly Nightshade taints my past.
The Flash : The police have an APB out for the Nightshade. They don't know it's an imposter. They're after you.
Nightshade : You coming?
