"Harrison Wells: Whatcha Doin?
Barry Allen/Flash: Training.
Harrison: Allen don’t be stupid. I know you took the V-9 Allen.
Flash: No I haven't.
Harrison: Oh, No?
Flash: No. I took it, but I haven’t taken it yet.
Harrison: - Good.
Flash: Tell me why I shouldn't.
Harrison: Figure it out.
Flash: - If the game is already rigged, why can’t I level the playing field? I mean, if everybody else is cheating, how can—-I want to be fast enough to stop Zoom and any speedster that tries to hurt my friends. Shouldn't I use everything in my power to do that?
Harrison:- You want to take a shortcut; is that right? You want to take a shortcut? Remember this. You lose a chuck of your humanity every time you compromise your values.
Flash: Sorry, that's really good coming from you.
Harrison: - So don't be like me. Be better."
