Quotes 

• Barry Allen : Okay, look. Follow my lead. Don't go off-book. If anything goes wrong, do exactly as I say.

  Nora West-Allen : Do things usually go wrong?

  [they take off into the accelerator; watching in the Cortex, Ralph turns on Huey Lewis' "Back in Time"] 

  Ralph Dibny : [seeing everyone's looks]  What? When am I gonna have the chance to do that?

  Cisco Ramon : [turning it off]  Hey, game face.

  Ralph Dibny : All right, so what do we do while they're gone? Do we stake out the hospital, get everything ready here, what?

  Iris West-Allen : Nothing. They're gonna return to the exact same moment that they left.

  Ralph Dibny : Wait, so they're gonna go, but to us it'll be like they never left?

  Cisco Ramon : Yep. Time travel's weird, isn't it?

• Nora West-Allen : What if we could make one?

  Barry Allen : Make one what?

  Nora West-Allen : What if we can make a weapon more powerful than his weapon? Cicada can control his dagger, so what we would need would be something more powerful than his connection to it.

  Iris West-Allen : Wait, like... like some kind of supercharged magnet?

  Nora West-Allen : Exactly.

  Cisco Ramon : I don't know if we have anything strong enough for that. We made Sally out of a micro-composite alloy. As far as satellites go, she's... she was heavy-duty.

  Caitlin Snow : And even if we could get our hands on the dagger, we'd still have to figure out how to take the dark matter out to negate its powers.

  Sherloque Wells : Well, exactly right. I mean, what you're suggesting is we find an alloy... no, no, uh... indestructible alloy that has super magnetic properties but also has the ability to negate dark matter. I mean, where are we going to find such a thing?

  Nora West-Allen : The past.

• Nora West-Allen : You've already come across everything that we need, right? A strong alloy with magnetic properties.

  Cisco Ramon : Savitar's suit.

  Nora West-Allen : Something to remove dark matter.

  Caitlin Snow : The Speed Force transmitter that Zoom used to steal Barry's speed.

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, but that was his Speed Force.

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah, but those are exotic particles, which are basically the same thing as dark energy, so we would just need some of that to recalibrate it.

  Ralph Dibny : Can... can you do that?

  Cisco Ramon : I mean, you'd have to infuse the transmitter with the same kind of dark matter.

  Ralph Dibny : Like the DeVoe kind?

  Cisco Ramon : More like the particle accelerator kind.

  Ralph Dibny : I'm sorry, we... we need to blow up S.T.A.R. Labs again?

  Nora West-Allen : No, no, not again. We just need to go back to the first time that it happened.

  Barry Allen : This is gonna mess with the timeline too much.

  Nora West-Allen : No, no, no. No, it's not. Savitar's suit, the transmitter, these are all just discarded objects in time, so if we steal them, it won't affect anything at all.

• Barry Allen : You think she should come with me?

  Iris West-Allen : Yeah, Barry, I do.

  Barry Allen : Iris, if I do this, I'm going back to some crazy times. Savitar, Zoom, Thawne. Speedsters...

  Iris West-Allen : Who you've all outsmarted and defeated. Look, this was her idea, Barry. Her solution. And it's a good one. So unless you have a better reason why she should stay back, let her do this.

• Iris West-Allen : Everything worked?

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah.

  Barry Allen : Is Dwyer still at the hospital?

  Caitlin Snow : Hasn't left her side.

  Cisco Ramon : Did you plant the transmitter?

  Nora West-Allen : Yeah, we sure did.

  Barry Allen : Let's go get Cicada.
