Quotes 

• Caitlin Snow : You know, you're really taking this whole "Absent-Minded Professor" thing to a new level.

  Dr. Martin Stein : I don't know what you mean.

  Caitlin Snow : Your daughter. Ever since you've come back, you've treated her like a total stranger.

  Dr. Martin Stein : [angrily]  That's because she is a total stranger!

  [calming down] 

  Dr. Martin Stein : Sorry. It's just that when I last left 2016, that young woman did not exist.

  Caitlin Snow : Wait, you're saying Lily belongs to another timeline? That when Barry created Flashpoint, she...

  Dr. Martin Stein : Unfortunately, this is all my fault. You see, a month ago, I interacted with my younger self back in 1987, and unwittingly motivated him - me - to sire a child. So it's because of my carelessness that this time aberration exists.

  Caitlin Snow : She is not an aberration. She is brilliant and funny and a lot like you. Just a little less uptight.

  Dr. Martin Stein : Please stop talking about her like this. She is not a real person.

  Caitlin Snow : She is a real person. She's your daughter.

  [realizing something] 

  Caitlin Snow : Wait. When we finish fighting the Dominators, you're gonna go back in time and erase her?

  Dr. Martin Stein : No. I am going to restore the timeline. Unlike your friend Barry, I have the luxury of fixing my mistakes.

• Oliver Queen : We have to keep the Dominators at bay.

  Dr. Martin Stein : This might help. I've mass-produced a small devide that, when placed on individual Dominators, will cause indescribable agony. Not the nicest invention, but this is war.

  Barry Allen : Nice going.

  Dr. Martin Stein : The caveat, of course, is that if we activate the weapons before all the devices are placed on the Dominators, they'll know what we're up to.

  Oliver Queen : Well, we gotta do it fast.

  Barry Allen : Only way I know how.

• Dr. Martin Stein : When we traveled back to 1987, I gave my younger self a lecture about neglecting Clarissa, and he...

  Jefferson Jackson : And he followed your advice all the way to pound town.

• Jefferson Jackson : All right, Grey. Spill. How is it you have a kid?

  Dr. Martin Stein : I didn't think I had to explain such matters to you, Jefferson.

  [giving it a twist as if Jefferson had asked about the process of procreation]
