[Hal's recording this from Barry's place and he looks uncharacteristically hesitant.]
I think Barry's gone. My ring can't find him and I know it couldn't find people when everyone did that ghost trick a while back, but he also left his-- [He belatedly realises he can't say Flash ring.] --wedding ring behind and he'd never forget it.
[He falls silent again as he figures out what else to say.]
It's like I just got him back and now he's gone again. [He hasn't worked it out, but it feels like in all the years he's known him, Barry was dead longer than he was alive.]
I never really paid attention to what people did in this situation, but I guess I should tell Bart to get over here. Anything else I should do?

Are you flippin' serious?!

Um... yes? [He has no idea what part Bart's objecting to.]

[This isn't so much about the notion of Hal and Barry being an item, as it is the complete incapability of Bart to consider his grandmother being left alone again.]
He wouldn't leave her.

O-oh, I had no idea. I-I thought...

[Bart shrugs weakly.]
It just didn't go down good.

[Bart reaches up behind his head with both hands and laces his fingers, resting them against the back of his neck.]
I'm trying to make a point. Hyperbolically. Work with me here.

But no, I know what you mean.

Smart guy for the 1700s. Although I bet Stephen Hopkins could give'im a run for his money.

Or maybe we do, and they protect us all from syphilis and alcoholism.

And I don't think that's how either of those things work... because if it was, only one person would have either at any given time.

Man, now I really want Ben Franklin to turn up and invent our way out of this like some sort of steampunk-portal god. He waltzes in, he saves the world with stoves and armonicas, and is still home in time to play chess with the scarlet women.

Something tells me that while he's good, I don't think he invented the stove or bifocals overnight.
