Flash quotes from Justice League (2017)

Bruce

Tell me about this.

This is a person who looks exactly like me but who is definitely not me.

Bruce

Silica-based quartz sand fabric. Abrasion resistant. Heat resistant.

Uh, yeah, I do– competitive ice dancing.

Bruce

It's what they use on the space shuttle to prevent it from burning up on re-entry.

I do– very competitive ice dancing.

Whoever you're looking for, it's not– [Bruce suddenly throws a Batarang straight at Barry, who uses his super-speed to step out of the way. As he glances at the Batarang, he looks at Bruce in shock, then catches it] You're the Batman?

Bruce

So, you're fast.

That feels like an oversimplification.

Bruce

I'm putting together a team of people with special abilities. See, I believe enemies are coming–

Stop right there. I'm in.

Bruce

You are?

Yeah, I– I need– friends. People are difficult, they require a lot of focus. They, uh– they have a rhythm that I haven't quite been able to– like brunch! What is brunch? You wait in line for an hour for, essentially, lunch. I mean– I don't know. People are– a little slow.

Bruce

I'll try to keep up.

Can I keep this?

What are your superpowers again?

Bruce

I'm rich.

How many of you are there?

Not enough.

Do you really think that– [He turns around to see only the Flash standing behind him, the others have disappeared]

Flash

Oh, wow, they just, they really just vanished. Huh? Oh. That's rude. [Speeds off]

Flash

Here's the thing. See, I'm afraid of bugs, and guns, and obnoxiously tall people, and murder. I can't be here! It's really cool, you guys seem ready to do battle and stuff, but, full transparency, I've never done battle. I've just pushed some people and run away!

Save one.

Flash

What?

Save one person.

Flash

Uh– which one?

Don't talk, don't fight. Get in, get one out.

Flash

And– and then?

You'll know.

Flash

Okay.

Steppenwolf

Primitive beings.

Flash

What are we under right now?

Gotham Harbor.

Aquaman

Honestly– I think we're gonna be dead way before that. And you know what? I don't mind. It's an honorable end. But we've gotta shut Steppenwolf down. Superman's a no-show. [Looks at Batman] You've got no powers, no offense. [Looks at Cyborg] This guy might be working for the enemy. We don't know. [Looks at Flash] You're tripping over your feet, and mine– [Looks at Wonder Woman] Whuf, you're gorgeous, and fierce– and strong.

Aquaman

I know we went to war with the Amazons, but that was before my time. You know what? I don't wanna die. I'm young. There's shit that I wanna do. I just feel like– I didn't really embrace the sea or the land. I've been a loner my whole life. But being part of something bigger, like this– maybe I'm scared because– I'm meant to–

Wonder Woman

I think that was beautiful.

Aquaman

You say a word about this, and you'll meet every piranha I know.

Flash

I honestly didn't hear anything after "we're all gonna die."

Superman

If I win, Bruce said something about you having to take us all to brunch?

Flash

Oh see, now that's cold, that's a betrayal. I feel stung by that– Okay, but if I win I get to tell everyone.

Superman

Deal.

Superman

Which coast?

Flash

You know, I've never seen the Pacific. [Points eastward; Superman points westward to correct him] Which is that way, because– The sun, and it's–
[They get on their marks as Flash lights up small firecracker and tosses it in the ground. Immediately after it blows up, they speed up for their race]

Because you're holding yourself back. You're going in circles. You're working three dead-end jobs, going on four. Where do you even have the time?

I make the time.

And this is all to pay for a criminal justice degree, huh?

Okay, I really don't wanna talk about this again. The investigation was botched.

Give me your hand, man. [Barry puts his hand on the glass] I want you to listen to me, Barry, because I mean this. I want you to give all that up. And I want you to stop coming to see me. I am a drag on your life.

Please don't ever say that to me again. Please?

You can be whatever you wanna be. You're brilliant, man. Absolute best of the best. I can't sit here and watch you run in place in Central City for some old dude who's not going anywhere.

Dad, that's not true.

It's time.

That's not true.

Let's go, Allen. Allen!

I want you to make your own future. [the prison guard grabs him and pulls him up] You're living in the past. Make your own future. [hangs up the phone and waves to his son]

Open gate!
[as the prison guard leads Henry away, Barry hangs up the phone and starts thinking about making his own future]

How many of you are there?

Not enough.

8 people abducted from or near STAR Labs. [shows a drawing of a Parademon] Here's our potential perp.

Wonder Woman

Parademons.

Flash

Okay...

Wonder Woman

The demons must've caught the scent of the Mother Box. They carried people away to find out what they know.

So the 8 may still be alive.

Cyborg

9. [everyone turns around] The head of STAR Labs was taken as well.

Wonder Woman

You made it. [Cyborg smiles back]

So then there must be a nest nearby. I plotted all the sightings in Metropolis, Gotham. No pattern I can see. The lines on the map don't converge.

Cyborg

On land. These lead back to Braxton Island between the 2 cities.

Gotham Harbor. These are air vents. They all lead down to the tunnel for Metropolis Project that was abandoned in '29.

Do you really think that– [he turns around to see only the Flash standing behind him, the others have disappeared]

Flash

Oh, wow, they just, they really just vanished. Huh? Oh. That's rude. [speeds off]
