- The Flash: Hey... I could vibrate my fingers through somebody's brain!
- James Jesse: Oh ho ho! Gross! Well, maybe later.
- James Jesse: Are you prepared to carry out sentence, Mr. Executioner?
- The Flash: [brandishing array of death weapons] Uh... no. I, uh, can't decide which to use!
- James Jesse: [guffawing] Well. That's why they call me the hanging judge.
- James Jesse: I've already told you, counselor. No. No. No!
- Denise Cowan: Damn it, Jesse. You are going to have to listen to me and follow my lead, or you can kiss any hope of an acquittal goodbye.
- James Jesse: So who the hell needs you anyway? I've got law degrees, too, you know. A whole trunkful of them.
- Zoey Clark: [Trickster is brainwashing the Flash] What are we gonna do now, Trickster?
- The Trickster: We? As in you and me? Hey, reality check, sweetie pie. You can't begin to understand the depth and genius of my plans.
- [pushing her away]
- The Trickster: Besides, it's guy stuff.
- The Trickster: You call this a trial? This is nothing more than a kangaroo court without the hoppy, furry guy.
- Judge: [banging his gavel] Order, order, order!
- The Trickster: If I were behind the bench, maybe...
- Denise Cowan: Jesse, please!
- Judge: Ms. Cowan, if you cannot control your client, I am gonna have him restrained.
- The Trickster: [showing the handcuffs on his wrists] Restrained? What do you call these, costume jewelry?
- Denise Cowan: Jesse, shut up! It's bad enough you insist on wearing this ridiculous outfit in court. Don't blow this for the both of us.
- The Trickster: What, and disappoint my loyal fans?
- Denise Cowan: You don't have loyal fans. The only person on your side is me! And that's starting to look like a real bad career move. Your Honor, defense requests a change of venue.
- The Trickster: Are you nuts?
- Denise Cowan: I see no way that my client can get a fair trial in Central City.
- The Trickster: Leave Central City? You are crazy! I love this town. And it loves me. Why, look what I've done for it!
- [Jesse has taken a bailiff's gun and tried to shoot his lawyer, but the bailiff gets in the way and is shot instead]
- James Jesse: Sacrificing yourself for a lawyer? Time to rethink your priorities, bub.
- Zoey Clark: You have to let me in. You have to. I'm carrying the Trickster's child.
- Officer Michael Murphy: Well, you're just gonna have to carry him right back where you came from, lady.
- Judge: That is it! You are in contempt of this court.
- The Trickster: No! I'll tell you who's in contempt. This courtroom is in contempt. The entire judicial system is in contempt. North America, the land mass, is in contempt.
- Denise Cowan: Jesse, get a grip! You're losing it!
- The Trickster: Nuh-uh, I'm perfectly sane. I am The Trickster.
- [to Megan]
- The Trickster: And you! Pretending to be Prank when you were never my loyal sidekick.
- [leaves his bench]
- The Trickster: This is all your fault!
- Megan Lockhart: [punches Trickster] You're getting to be a drag, Jesse. And I am bored stiff.
- [kicks him and punches him again]
- The Flash: [catches bullets fired at The Trickster] It's not guns that kill people. It's these little hard things.
- [throws a bullet back at Officer Bellows]
- Denise Cowan: Jesse, remember what I said.
- James Jesse: Oh, yeah. Maybe I should be defending myself.
- Denise Cowan: Don't be a fool.
- James Jesse: I can't help it.
- Joe Kline: Barry Allen. You were nearly drowned by The Trickster because of your romantic involvement with private eye Megan Lockhart, any comment?
- Barry Allen: No.
- Joe Kline: Officer Allen, you gonna stand in the way of journalistic inquiry, of the people's right to know? It's un-American, babe.
- Barry Allen: Kline, you're making me nauseous.
- Christina McGee: It's funny, don't you think?
- Barry Allen: What?
- Christina McGee: Well, a year ago, you came to me wanting to get rid of these powers. Who's have thought we'd be sitting here now talking about The Flash's publicity?
- Barry Allen: Ooh, well, one thing hasn't changed. I'm still a bottomless pit. In the last year, I've gone near bust on food alone. Thanks. I'm lying to everyone I know about my nights.
- Christina McGee: But, Barry, look at the good you've done. I mean, you've stopped the Trickster's rampage.
- Barry Allen: Well, I think I'm a little fed up with my own multiple personality. Maybe I'll go public. Make us both famous.
- The Flash: Stop it, Jesse.
- Prank: The Trickster to you. And I'm Prank.
- The Flash: I thought Megan was Prank.
- Prank: I'm Prank! Me! And don't you forget it.
- [tries removing his mask]
- The Trickster: Don't. D-d-d...
- Prank: But don't you want to see who...
- The Trickster: He *is* the mask. Without the mask, he's nothing. Bupkis, nada, zip. Just some boring, average insignificant jerk nobody cares about. He'll die alone and forgotten watching game shows in an empty apartment with cats. Now, you touch that mask again, I'll murder you, okay?
