Quotes 

• Dr. Martin Stein : This time period is replete with various perils. Perhaps it might be easier if you were to remain behind, and keep Doctor Palmer company.

  Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson : Perhaps you should remain behind.

  [pause as Stein looks awkwardly sideways] 

  Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson : No? Because you're not black? Because you think that me going back to 1863, I can't handle it?

  Dr. Martin Stein : That doesn't mean there's a need for you to subject yourself to the horrors that await you in that era!

  Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson : Okay, now I get it might be difficult for you to understand this, but I've been black my entire life Gray. And honestly, I can't think of a time period we could go to where I wouldn't face some sort of racism. So don't worry, okay?

• Dr. Martin Stein : Are you homesick?

  Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson : You checking up on me Gray?

  Dr. Martin Stein : Given what you've witnessed, what you've endured, would that really be so bad? You know you just witnessed the very worst of humanity. We share a psychic connection, yet I still can't even begin to fathom what you must be feeling. Must be like your heart is broken.

  Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson : Yeah, it is. But I saw something in those people's eyes I didn't expect to see. I saw hope, I saw dignity. Those men and women? They were treated worse than animals, but they never let anybody stop them from being people, ya know?

  Dr. Martin Stein : I suppose there will always be those who will seek to dehumanize us, but I believe there are more that cling to hope, despite the darkness.

  Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson : Yeah, that is exactly how they were.

  Dr. Martin Stein : I was actually thinking of you Jefferson.

• Dr. Martin Stein : [stammering]  He was...

  Ray Palmer : Calm down, calm down.

  Dr. Martin Stein : We're going to die!

  Ray Palmer : You just need to calm down.

  Dr. Martin Stein : [still tense]  I will not calm down. He was threatening enough before he became one of the walking dead! Why didn't your vaccine work?

  Ray Palmer : I-I-I don't know. It could be that subcutaneous delivery needs more than one dose.

  Dr. Martin Stein : Oh, and that didn't occur to you while formulating the serum?

  Ray Palmer : At least I'm not the one with an irrational fear of zombies.

  Dr. Martin Stein : [raising his voice]  There's nothing irrational about my fear of zombies. He's a zombie!

  Ray Palmer : Look, I'm pretty sure that I stunned him.

  Dr. Martin Stein : Oh, you're pretty sure?

  Ray Palmer : And if he's knocked out cold in the MedBay, all we have to do is go back in there and inject him again.

  Dr. Martin Stein : [still tense]  And if he's not, I'm pretty sure he'll kill us! So, me and my irrational fear are staying right here.

  Ray Palmer : Listen to me, Marty--can I call you Marty?

  Dr. Martin Stein : No.

  Ray Palmer : You have to help me. If you don't, and I get bitten, then you'll have two zombies to deal with.

  Dr. Martin Stein : [in disbelief]  Oh, my God.

  [sighs] 

• Dr. Martin Stein : Oh, no. Don't be dead, Raymond. On the other hand, if you are dead, please stay dead.

• Mick Rory : Professor, what's going on? Was I just trying to kiss you?

  Dr. Martin Stein : [Realizing that Ray's vaccine cured Rory]  I can only hope, Mr. Rory. I can only hope.
