Quotes 

• Barry Allen : I wear a mask to protect the people I know and love, who might get hurt what I do.

  Megan Lockhart : You're a cop. You know wearing masks are illegal.

  Barry Allen : Oh, right. But what would you do? Run through the streets stark naked at 350 miles per hour with bells on your toes?

• Barry Allen : I'd like to bash his head into a wall at hyper-speed.

  Christina McGee : Barry, stop. You're not going to hurt Castillo and your anxiety level is not doing your metabolism any good.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, yeah, but, you know, the thing is part of what he said is true. I mean, sanction from downtown court couldn't hurt.

  Christina McGee : Yeah, but not from a crusading DA who throws a grenade at Earl.

  Barry Allen : No, of course not. The man's crooked. On the other hand, I can't public endanger the people I love. Mom, dad, Eve, Shawn, you. Think of the heat it could create for you.

  Christina McGee : Barry, don't worry about me, I can take care of myself.

• The Flash : End of the line, Castillo.

  Thomas Castillo : No way, Barry! You're a boy scout. You believe in that whole good guy, bad guy rap! I open my mouth, they'll be over you. The mob doesn't get you, you'll end up dissected by the feds. The only way to stop me is to kill me and you won't.

  [starts his car and explodes] 

• Barry Allen : I'll play your little game for now, Castillo. But I promise you. You threaten me or my family again and there'll be hell to pay.

  Thomas Castillo : I want you to hit Simonson's casino at the wharf. Throw a monkey wrench into the works. His free ride at the riverfront is over. Think of the good you'll be doing shutting down a known criminal's operations. Our goals are the same, Barry.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, but your methods stink.

• Barry Allen : Judith, huh? What dd you tell her about me?

  Julio Mendez : That your 4'8" with a mug like a scouring pad. What do you think, man? Just trust me, alright? I'm a living proof of what love can do.

  Barry Allen : Yeah, but inhaling lab fumes does the same thing.

  Julio Mendez : My face is precious.
