"Took me that long to piece it all together." "So that's how you know our names." "You've been following us." "Look, I know how this sounds."

"This is our earth." "Let's call it Earth-1." "And this second Earth, let's call it Earth-2." "This is where Jay claims to be from." "And these other earths, three, four, five, to infinity, all of them, are nearly identical to ours." "And they all exist at the same time, giving us endless alternatives to what we have here." "For example, the Joe West on Earth-2, your doppelganger, he might not be a detective." "He could be a Nobel Prize-winning physicist." "And you, the Barry Allen here is The Flash, but over there, he could be an electrician." "So, I'm assuming that the people on all these other earths work to make money to pay bills and such."

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole idea of time travel." "[laughs softly]" "There is, uh, one problem that remains." "If Mr. Garrick is telling the truth, there is a breach somewhere in Central City that we need to find and close for good." "Yeah, but how do we find it?" "We don't even know what to look for." "Well, I..." "I suggest we put our heads together and come up with a solution." "Not literally, of course." "Those days are over." " What'd you find?" " Well, Jay's heart rate is extraordinarily low." "And he does have regenerative capabilities." "Other than that, I'm not seeing any evidence of the Speed Force in his system." "We don't even have proof that he's a speedster, much less from another earth?" "Not necessarily." "What does that mean?" "Well, Jay doesn't know this, but while I was testing his heart rate, blood pressure, and motor responses," "I also measured his autonomic reactions while we were talking." "You gave him a lie detector test?" "And he passed it." "What if he's not a good guy, and he just wants to find our weaknesses?" "Keep running tests." "See what else you can find out."
