The Best Jesse Wells Quotes

Dr. Harry Wells: So when did you do it? After we returned to Earth-2?
Barry: Look, Harry, only a couple things are different.
Dr. Harry Wells: Oh, I'm sure. Not.
Cisco: Really? You guys are doing "not" on Earth-2 now?
Jesse: Uh, no. That's all him.

Jesse: I'm the reason you killed that man, and that's a really heavy burden to bear.
Dr. Harry Wells: I know. I know. I also know that what I've done, it's unforgivable. When your mother died, honey... something inside me broke. I-I couldn't protect her. And I... I swore... I swore on her grave, no less, that I would protect you, and then Zoom took you, and I snapped. I just snapped. I couldn't breathe, I... I couldn't lose the only other person that I love.

Wally: Okay, so you ran back in time and made a copy of yourself?
Barry: Well, uh, basically. Yeah.
Jesse: It's called a time remnant.
Barry: It's not something that I can do every day, but I needed a way to draw the Time Wraiths out of the Speed Force, hoping they'd be more upset at what Zoom had done than they'd be with me.

Dr. Harry Wells: Shouldn't you be at school?
Jesse: I graduated high school when I was fifteen, Dad.
Dr. Harry Wells: Right.
Jesse: Can miss a day of college.
Dr. Harry Wells: Ah, that's my Jess, always so quick.

Barry: You know, your dad, who I'm pretty sure is one of the smartest people to live on either of our Earths, told me the only person smarter than him was you.
Jesse: He said that?
Barry: [nods] If that's true, we work together, I know we can figure this out.

Dr. Harrison Wells: Hey
Jesse: What happened?
Dr. Harrison Wells: We... You're fine. Your...
[CLEARS THROAT]
Dr. Harrison Wells: You're going to be fine. We got the drug out of your system.
Jesse: Oh... Looks like you saved the day again.
Dr. Harrison Wells: Look, honey, I know that this isn't enough. I... I promise you, though, I am... I'm going to spend the rest of my life making it up to you for the... for that terrible thing that I did.
Jesse: Yeah?
Dr. Harrison Wells: Yes.
Jesse: And how many more terrible things are you going to do to protect me?
Dr. Harrison Wells: What does that mean?
Jesse: I mean, everything that you do and everything that you have done for me, it's so dark, and you don't even see it. I mean, you didn't even hesitate out there.
Dr. Harrison Wells: [STAMMERS] Of course not, I'm not going to lose you, Jesse.
Jesse: Okay, but you just gave that crazy speedster everything she wanted, without even blinking. Without even thinking what other lives could be at stake.
Dr. Harrison Wells: It's my job to keep you safe, to protect you. That's my job. That's all that matters.
Jesse: Well, maybe it shouldn't be.
[SIGHS]

Jesse: Would you just excuse me? Uh, I just need to go... powder my... watch.

[Jesse and Wally are in the Time Vault]
Jesse: Can we come out now?
Dr. Harrison Wells,53194: No!

Jesse: What's this?
Dr. Harry Wells: That is a, uh, mental activity dampener. It's for D.A. Cecile Horton. It keeps her from hearing other people's thoughts.
Jesse: Kinda clunky.
Dr. Harry Wells: [with a laugh] That's what she said. Literally, that's what she said. The second version's more streamlined.

Jesse: Biochem was one of my majors in college.
Barry: One of your majors? How many did you have?
Jesse: Five.
[seeing their expressions]
Jesse: What? Is that not common here?
Iris: Girl, no, that is not common anywhere.

Cisco: So, the reason you didn't have your powers is because there was a dampener in the mask. You see?
Jay: I don't want to see this thing ever again.
[vibrates his hand through the mask, breaking it in half]
Cisco: So your powers are back.
Joe: I see Jay - excuse me - Hunter stole your color scheme too.
Jay: He stole a lot of things that were mine, except for that. That's, um - that's all him.
Iris: He said it was his father's from the war.
Dr. Harry Wells: Ironically, on my - on our Earth - this helmet stood for hope.
Jay: Yeah?
Dr. Harry Wells: Yeah.
Jay: Maybe I can continue on that sentiment, take something from him, for a change, make it my own.
Caitlin: It suits you.
Jay: Thank you, all of you, for saving me from Zoom, especially you, Flash.
Barry: You're welcome, Flash.
Jay: Now all I have to do is find my way home.
Wally: And where's that?
Jay: I think you would call it Earth-3.
Cisco: Uh-huh. Well, I can get you to Earth-2.
Dr. Harry Wells: My daughter and I can help you with the rest.
Jesse: We can?
Dr. Harry Wells: Yes, we can. We're going home.

Jesse: So, how'd it go?
Dr. Harrison Wells: Well, he's not a red splat on the side of a mountain.
Cisco: That's our new definition of success?
Dr. Harrison Wells: It's one of them.
Jesse: So you didn't make the canyon jump?
Barry: Nah-uh. What else can we try?
Cisco: A bigger canyon?

Jesse: Wally. Hey. Never thought we'd see each other again. You look good.
Wally: This isn't you. You're not real.
Jesse: You sure about that?
Wally: Yeah. I've seen apparitions before.
Jesse: You know, I remember the first night I said "I love you." We were in the back seat of your car. You acted like you couldn't hear me.
Wally: Yeah, 'cause I couldn't understand why someone like you would love me.
Jesse: Why not?
Wally: Oh, come on, Jesse.
Jesse: Wally, you're a good-looking guy. Great smile. I know you've had girlfriends before me.
Wally: None of them were you. You're everything. You're, like, an actual genius, and the family you come from, and then I...
Jesse: You're just a speed junkie with a drug addict for a mom? I wonder why it didn't work out between us.
Wally: Oh, um, so you're just here to hurt me? Well, you can't. I'm... I'm actually glad that you broke my heart. You know, I traveled because of you. I found some kind of inner peace. I made new friends. One day, I'm gonna fall in love with someone, and that person isn't gonna be you.
Jesse: Well said. Unfortunately...
Mallus: I can hurt you.

Barry: We're gonna get out of here. Your dad's gonna find us, I promise.
Jesse: You sure have a lot of faith in a man who only cares about himself.
Barry: You know, I actually thought that at first, too. It's not true. Every decision that he's made, every action he's taken since we've met has been to save you. Your dad hasn't given up on you, Jesse. Don't give up on him.

Zoom: Time's up, Wells. What's it gonna be?
Dr. Harry Wells: I know what you're doing. I know why you keep sending villain after villain from our Earth to this one. You want Barry to get faster. You want him to get stronger. You want him to become more powerful, more full of... speed force. You're fattening him up like a Christmas goose.
Zoom: The more power he has, the more I can take and you're going to help me.
Dr. Harry Wells: Let me see her first.
[Zoom brings Jesse out of the wormhole]
Jesse: Daddy?
Dr. Harry Wells: Are you okay? Did he hurt you?
Jesse: Please help me. Don't let him take me back there.
Dr. Harry Wells: I won't...
[Zooms returns Jesse through the wormhole]
Zoom: Now decide, in return for your daughter's life.
Dr. Harry Wells: I'll do it. I will help you steal The Flash's speed.

Dr. Harry Wells: Who's Alchemy?
Cisco: Well, Doctor Alchemy is a magic man in a cloak who can somehow restore the powers that people had in Flashpoint.
Jesse: Okay, what's Flashpoint?
Caitlin: That's what we're calling the alternate timeline that Barry created when he went back in time and saved his mom.
Dr. Harry Wells: Oh. So Magenta is another side-effect from your time trip. Genius. Not.
Barry: I don't need to be reminded. Thank you.

Barry: But there is a lesson in there somewhere.
Jesse: What's that?
Barry: The difference between having powers and precision.
Jesse: Well, what do you mean?
Barry: I mean, it's gonna take more than speed to take down some of these metas. You got to think, anticipate. When you enter a new environment, you got to case every inch of it. Never run in blind. Oh, my God. I've become Oliver.

Jesse: Hey, you set the right distortion scope, right?
Cisco: Oh, for real? Okay. You know what, we're gonna play a game here. It's called, if you're from Earth-2, you're gonna be quiet, okay?

H.R. Wells: What you doing up there?
Jesse: Just, uh... hanging out.
H.R. Wells: What are... what are you thinking about?
Jesse: Wally. He wants me to stay here with him.
H.R. Wells: Ah. Yeah, he does. Guy is no dummy. Congratulations. Oh, that's great. Love... nothing like young love.
Jesse: Yeah, I just... I don't... I don't know if it's the right thing.
H.R. Wells: Why?
Jesse: He's on his own journey. Besides, my dad just got captured by gorillas. And if... if he does come back, how could I ever tell him I'm leaving?
H.R. Wells: Well, 'cause you're human. That's... that's how. That's what we do. Look, my point is this. When it comes to love, you gotta go for it. You know? Everything else be damned. 'Cause if you don't, you're gonna end up being the kind of person that lives the rest of their life with regret. I mean, I know that telling your dad that, you know, you're... you're switching Earths, that's gonna be a difficult conversation to have, but one that you've got to go for if you want to be happy.
