Barry Allen: Why don't you just tell me what you want. Eobard Thawne: To enjoy this very special day. I mean, maybe this is some sort of cosmic gift, the chance to torture you slowly one last time before I end your existence entirely. Barry Allen: You're here to kill me as a child. Eobard Thawne: You always were smart. Too bad you're not smart enough to save yourself this time. See, there's only two ways you can stop me tonight. One is to put me in Iron Heights right now and risk destroying the timeline which would wipe that wonderful wife and family right from existence in just a heartbeat. Barry Allen: And the second option? Eobard Thawne: You have to kill me, which you won't. So I guess... I've already won. How'd the parental reunion go today? Did you feel good to have them care for you one last time? Did you feel loved? Did you feel like you had a family? Barry Allen: You attacked me this morning. You knew they'd help me. Eobard Thawne: It must hurt to not able to tell them that you're their son. Tell me, does being this close to them again bring back all the pain I have ever given you? Good. Barry Allen: If your plan's so perfect, why are you wasting so much time? Why not just wipe me off the face of the Earth right now? Eobard Thawne: And ruin my pièce de résistance? No, no, no, no. I'm going to savor this entire day and the peace that it's brought me. Now, there's one last thing. I want to hear you say it, Barry. Say it. Barry Allen: You win. I can't stop you. Eobard Thawne: Delicious. You can't walk away from what's about to happen, Barry.

Reverse-Flash: You'd actually destroy an entire timeline just to save your own pathetic existence? Flash: No, Thawne. I'm not here to save myself. I'm here to save you. Reverse-Flash: You want to save me? Is this a joke? Flash: No, I'm serious. Thawne, do you remember that day you told me about 170 years from now, when you presented yourself to the world, finally gained speed of your own? Reverse-Flash: Greatest day of my entire life. Until now. Flash: Up until that point in your life, you admired me. You wanted to be a hero. Reverse-Flash: And you destroyed everything I'd worked for. You saved that crowd. You took the credit that I should have had. Flash: I know. And I'm sorry. Reverse-Flash: Is that what this is all about, making amends for ruining my life? Well, it's too late. Flash: No, it doesn't have to be. You can still have a better life, the life you once saw for yourself. Don't you see? All we do is cause each other pain. But tonight, you can change all that if you just walk away. Reverse-Flash: That's not what this is about. You know, I win tonight. That's what this is all about. Flash: You win one battle, Thawne, not the war between us. Neither of us can do that. If you don't walk away tonight, you will lose everything. Reverse-Flash: Liar. Don't you know who I am? I have always been the hero. You're the villain, Flash. You're the one who reversed my entire life and dragged me into hell. And that's why you die tonight, by my hand!

You knew this was going to happen and now, I'm stuck here in a hell where I get to watch you grow up and become the hero I should have been! I swear even if I have to tear the universe apart.

You look so young. And I could kill you right now so easy. What I wouldn't have given? All those times before to have had you like this. So helpless. But fate, it's tricky, isn't it? I come here to destroy you. And then to get home, I have to be the one who creates you. But I will say, it's been an education. Watching you grow up all these years. Science fairs and soccer games. No hint, no sign, no trace of the man you will be one day for whom I have nothing but hate. And to be clear, nothing is forgiven. There will be a reckoning. I promise you, Barry Allen, that you will die.

I thought... well, I thought his attachment to people was a distraction slowing down his progress. Now I realize the opposite is true. Barry's attachment to people, the people he cares about, is actually the key to getting him up to speed. In the meantime, good news. The future remains intact.

Eobard Thawne: You could use the dwarf star in your exo-suit to power an entire city. But instead, you chose to become the Atom because you weren't satisfied with your small, pathetic life.

If I could have everyone's attention for a moment. I have been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time. When you find the love of your life, it's like electricity pulsing through your veins, giving you a shock that you absolutely never want to end because - because now... Now you're part of something greater. You're part of something wonderful. And, frankly, surprising because you never know what face fate will be wearing when she shows up to knock on your door and change your life forever. When it does, for you, my wish is that that face... Is as beautiful as the one standing next to me. To Iris West, the love of my life... And to our future together.

Eobard Thawne: Iris West is my lightning rod, Reverse-Flash. Barry Allen: What the hell did you do? Eobard Thawne: Nothing you haven't done before. Barry Allen: You created a Flashpoint. Eobard Thawne: Wrong. I created a Reverse-Flashpoint. I started by doing a little housekeeping at S.T.A.R. Labs, and then I took care of the one father you had left. Why? Because after our last encounter, it was clear to me you were faster than I was, and the only way to defeat you... was to become you. So I ran back to the year 2013 and made sure that I was the one struck by the lightning. I was the one that Iris West wrote about as the Streak. I led Team Flash. I was the one Iris West fell in love with. I stole your life! And because every hero needs a villain... I created that, too. Barry Allen: You wore my face. It was you that attacked the city that day. That's why they don't trust me. Eobard Thawne: Made you think you were crazy. Crazy enough to beg, literally beg, Jefferson Pierce to steal your speed. What's it right now, 5%? Maybe less? Barry Allen: Thawne, what you did destroys the world. It creates Armageddon. Eobard Thawne: No. Barry Allen: NO, IT'S TRUE, DAMN IT! Eobard Thawne: I would not create a perfect world just to watch it die. As a matter of fact, the only thing that is set to expire is you. And do you know why? Because I finally did what I set out to do all those years ago. I killed you as a child... You can do that all night long. But the fact remains, at the stroke of midnight, my timeline will solidify... and you will cease to exist. And your precious Speed Force cannot help you now, because in this timeline, she chose me. And Iris chose me. I've won. I finally won. WHO'S FASTER NOW!?

What's it like knowing you've been replaced? Eobard Thawne: I won't be replaced. I will never be replaced because no speedster is ever gonna feel for you what I do! Hate. Hate. Hate! HATE! Pure and infinite hate. I hid in plain sight for years to be next to you, to be close to you so I could hurt you. I devoted my life SO I COULD DESTROY YOURS! NO SPEEDSTER WILL EVER REPLACE ME!
