Quotes

 * Caitlin Snow: Oh, great, that could be this year's cold gun. Maybe another criminal can get it, and then we'd have Sergeant Slow.
 * Cisco Ramon: I would never let that happen. Sergeant Slow is a terrible name.

 * Barry Allen: How are we doing with the speed-dampener?
 * Caitlin Snow: I think we isolated with the composite.
