Joe West & his kids (Barry, Iris, Wally) - "Someone to Someone" (entry for the Family Ties Contest)

Voiceovers transcribed at bottom of description! Lyrics are linked below too! ~~~ My first full-length vid that's 100% my own for this fandom, the 2014 TV series "The Flash"! Please check out my playlist of all of my other The Flash vidding here:    • The Flash vids of mine  

I got through Round 1 of the Family Ties Contest (FTC) vidding Kara's Kryptonian family on the TV show Supergirl, here:    • Kara's Kryptonian Family - "If these ...   and got through round 2 by vidding, as a specific set of mother/child relationships, Lena with all five (or six? If you count her child that was born prematurely and died the day she was born) of her children on the ABC Family/Freeform tv series The Fosters:    • Lena & her children: "If you'll let m...   . I'm pretty happy with how those two vids turned out, so please check them out if you get a chance!!

For Round 3 of the contest:    • Family Ties Contest Round 3   , I vidded Joe West with all three of his kids. I vidded the most Barry/Joe because, as this show is all about "The Flash" as a character, there seem to be the most moments for Joe/Barry. I vidded the least Wally/Joe because Wally has been in a much more limited number of scenes. Keiynan Lonsdale, who plays Wally, was only in 14 episodes so far. Meanwhile, Jesse L. Martin, Grant Gustin, and Candice Patton (who play Joe, Barry, and Iris respectively) all appeared in all 46 episodes of seasons 1&2. Deleted scenes used:    • Видео

Voiceovers:

Joe: My life s- started when you were born.

Iris: I still remember the night that you brought Barry home. You said something bad happened to his parents, and that he was gonna stay with us for a while.

Joe: So there I was thinking that I'm changing your life by taking you in.

Joe: You were so kind. I was so proud of you!

Joe: Your parents will understand if you're not strong all the time. That is why I'm here.

Joe: But the truth is... you changed mine.

Barry: Joe, look, you have been there for me every day since I met you.

Iris: When my mother left us, she was pregnant.

Barry: You would've done the exact same thing for him if you could have, I know it.

Joe: What happened with you? On Earth-2.
Barry: You died. I know that it wasn't you, that none of that was this life, but...

Joe: I always said that one day, I would give this to my son.

Joe: You're just a kid! (in flashback: Help! My son's coding!) My kid.
Barry: I'm not your kid, Joe! And you're not my father!

Barry: I can do this cool thing with my vocal cords where I vibrate them, so I sound like this! [Joe laughs] - **apologies for spelling it "chords" in the video! Err - my mistake!**

Barry: Joe, what I said about you not being my father-
Joe: Barry, I know. I know I'm not your father.

Barry: I was born with one father, and that tragedy gave me... another.

Barry: You're just the man who sat beside my bed at night until I fell asleep because I was afraid of the dark. You taught me how to drive, and shave! Sounds a lot like a dad to me.

Iris: I am dating Eddie whether you like it or not!
Joe: If he gets hurt, or worse, and I'm there...

Barry: I want to propose to Iris. And I'd like your blessing.

Joe: ...how am I gonna look at you?

Joe: No, you do not have my blessing.

Iris: Dad, it's not just about Barry being The Flash! You knew how he felt about me for God knows how long!

Iris: Dad, I understand. You were just trying to keep me safe.

Iris: Love me enough to always tell me the truth.
Joe: Deal.

Iris: Aw, Dad.

Joe: You know, I love Barry like he's my own son.

Joe: I don't think you'd be this eager to get back to your time unless there were people there that you held dear - as dear as I hold Barry and Iris.

Iris: Dad, you would've just as amazing with your own son, just like you were with me and Barry.

Joe: I'm your father. I ain't letting you go.
Wally: OK.
Joe: That's my boy.

Barry: Look, Wally's never lived with his father before! And trust me, that is a big deal.

Wally: The Flash? Why would he help me?
Zoom: Someone he cares about cares about you.

Barry: He's your son, Joe. He's got your values, your inner drive to help people.

Joe: You could've got yourself killed!

Barry: No one could ever replace you.
Joe: Aw... [Barry chuckles]

Patty: Hey, he's kinda like your dad, right? So do you have any advice on how I can crack his 'no' code?
Barry: Yeah, I've been trying to pick that lock since I was 11.

Iris: Dad, I'm fine. Really.
Joe: Good. I want to keep you that way.
Iris: Dad!
Joe: Take it. I taught you how to use it for a reason.

Barry: Goodbye, Dad.

Joe: You won't ever lose me. Ever. You hear me? Ever.

Barry: Don't worry. I'm gonna save your dad.
Wally: No. You're gonna save our dad.

Joe: I love you.
Barry: I love you too.
