Desmond Powell • Nightshade
- Barry Allen: You saved my life, and you're the only other person I know who wears the mask.
- Dr. Desmond Powell: Oh, no. Wore. I came out of retirement for that Ghost business. Thought I was twenty-five again.
- The Flash: Next time, just tell me where we're headed.
- Dr. Desmond Powell: The hell with that. Then you'd end up beating me here. When I go to this much trouble, I want to get my money's worth.
- Curtis Bohannan: It should have been all three of us. You, me, and the Flash.
- Dr. Desmond Powell: Yeah, just a bunch of crimefighters out murdering the bad guys.
- The Flash: You should stay in better shape.
- Nightshade: Did you really search every room in this mansion already?
- The Flash: Twice. I found the secret passage in here. Really puts your garage to shame, doesn't it?
- Nightshade: Do you have a headquarters?
- The Flash: On my salary, an apartment.
- The Flash: I want answers. I need them now.
- Pearl: You look like my second husband Eddie. Only naked.
- The Flash: I said I want answers.
- Fosnight: Relax. You're the least of our worries. Nightshade's popped half a dozen small timers last week.
- Pearl: I hope you're here to protect us from him.
- The Flash: This killer's an imposter.
- Nightshade: That's right. No need for protection from me, Pearl. Not from the original. We're all too old to be adversaries anymore. Let it be.
- Nightshade: Fosnight. Long time since I brought you down. Short conning for Gorilla Grodd out of Helltown.
- Fosnight: Yeah. I took one of your tranq bullets. I slept for three days. At least I woke up. This guy's claiming to be you. He's, uh... He's another story.
- The Flash: But why kill Double Decker? I heard he went straight.
- Fosnight: Like an arrow. This Nightshade imposter's got snakes in his head.
- The Flash: I'll leave you here. I know a way to get a profile on just the kind of man we're looking for.
- [runs off]
- Fosnight: He oughta slow down. He's gonna give himself a coronary.
- Dr. Desmond Powell: Bet you didn't get in your Sunday best just to come see me, did you?
- Barry Allen: Actually, I'm, uh, ahem, meeting someone for dinner.
- Dr. Desmond Powell: Oh. Anybody I know?
- Rebecca Frost: Professionally and personally.
- Dr. Desmond Powell: [wolf whistles]
- Rebecca Frost: I'll take that as a compliment, you sexist pig.
- Joe Kline: Dr. Frost said that you were a killer. Would you like to respond?
- The Flash: Get that mic out of my face!
- Joe Kline: Then how about sharing the real you with our audience?
- Nightshade: [shoots tranq in Kline's neck] Ask his agent.
- The Flash: What are you doing?
- Nightshade: Now some mobster's using name of Nightshade to justify a blood bath. I've gotta clear my name.
- The Flash: I know how you feel, but I can handle it.
- Nightshade: No. This is my fight now. This Deadly Nightshade taints my past.
- The Flash: The police have an APB out for the Nightshade. They don't know it's an imposter. They're after you.
- Nightshade: You coming?
