- When I was 11, my mom was murdered. It was late. A sound woke me up. I came downstairs and… I saw what looked like a ball of lightning. Inside the lightning, there was a man. He killed my mom.

- Hey, what is happening? What is going on? - You were struck by lightning, dude. You were in a coma. - For how long? - Nine months. Welcome back, Mr. Allen.

- I wasn’t the only one affected by the particle accelerator explosion, was I? - We don’t know for sure. - He’s a bank robber, and he can control the weather. - This just keeps getting cooler - This is not cool! He’s still out there. We have to stop him. - That’s a job for the police. - You’re responsible for this. For him. - What’s important is you! You’re not a hero. You’re just a young man, who was struck by lightning.

- All my life, I’ve wanted to just do more… be more. And now I am. And the first chance I get to help someone, I screw up. What if Wells was right? What if I’m not a hero? What if I just some guy, who was struck by lightning? - I don’t think that bolt of lightning struck you, Barry. I think it chose you.
***
- You can do this, Barry. You were right. I’m responsible for all of this. So many people have been hurt because of me, and when I looked at you, all I saw another potential victim of my hubris. And yes, I created this madness, but you, Barry, you can stop it. You can do this. Now run, Barry, run!

- My name is Barry Allen. And I’m the fastest man alive.
