The Flash
Wednesdays 8:00 PM on The CWDetective Joe West Quotes
Joe: Let me ask you something. Who do you love?
Iris: I mean I love Eddie.
Joe: OK. You need to make them believe that because right now I'm not sure that either one of them does.
Joe: You're gonna save the past.
Barry: Joe, I'm gonna save my mom.
Barry: But, that means...
Joe: The second speedster, the one trying to stop the man in yellow...
Barry: Is The Flash. It's me.
Cisco: Dr. Wells is a great man. I was nothing when he gave me a job, a chance to change my life. He has helped so many people. He is not a murderer!
Joe: Cisco, I'm a cop. I'm good at reading people. That's how I know I can trust you with my suspicion. When I go talk to the family and friends of a murder suspect, somebody I know is guilty, and I tell them the person they love is a killer, guess what they say. That's not the person I know.
Joe: Whew! Day like today, Grandma Esther's eggnog seems a little light on the bourbon.
Cisco: Hey Joe?
Joe: Hmm?
Cisco: I saw something weird tonight.
Joe: Yeah, I saw something, too.
Cisco: No, I mean when The Flash and the man in yellow were going full on bumper cars on each other, I was watching the electricity coming off of them. Yellow and red electricity. When he was a kid, Barry said he saw red and yellow lightening in his house the night his mother died.
Joe: There were two of them.
Cisco: The man in yellow may have killed Barry's mother, but there was another speedster there that night.
Barry: I mean the truth is, I'm stuck her in Central City. Fear has kept me in that living room for 14 years. Joe, I, I was mad at you for being scared. But, the truth is I was the one who was scared. I've been afraid of the man in yellow for my whole life. That's why I lost.
Joe: When you first moved in with us, I thought it was going to be too much. I was already a single dad, finances were tough and you were a little boy who just lost his mother. But, man, I was wrong. Within two weeks you changed the whole dynamic of the house. Suddenly the house was filled with this light, this energy. I mean, you brightened up everything. You've seen more darkness than any man will in a lifetime and you never let it dim your soul. So there I was thinking that I'm changing your life by taking you in, but the truth is, you changed mine. So don't lose that light, now, Bar. The world may need The Flash, but I need my Barry Allen. Let's go home.
Eddie: Why did it not kill me?
Joe: I don't know, Eddie.
Eddie: But you know more than you've been telling me.
Joe: They're called metahumans.
Eddie: Metahumans.
Joe: People with very powerful abilities. You and me are the only guys on the force who know what's really going on and we need to keep it that way so nobody else gets hurt. Can you do that?
Eddie: [node] And The Flash? Do you know who he is?
Joe: Yeah, I do. He's the guy that saved both of our lives tonight.
Joe: Look, Barry, me and Dr. Wells have spoken and we think it would be best if you weren't here for this.
Barry: What are you talking about?
You're too close to this.
Barry: Well maybe you're not close enough! If you hadn't been too scared and warned me that he was here weeks ago, I would have been prepared for this.
Harrison: I think we can all appreciate Joe's concern for Iris, Barry.
Barry: That's why I have to be here! I'm the best chance at catching this guy!
Joe: Not in this state.
Barry: This man stabbed my mother through the heart and sent my father to prison for it. This is MY fight!
Joe: Not today, son.
Alright, the only red-suited guy I want in this house right now is Kris Kringle. You got it?
Barry: I think maybe they got... whammied.
Joe: Did you just say whammy?
