Quotes
-
Dr. Martin Stein : [weakly] Jef-Jefferson? Jefferson, I need to tell you something.
Jefferson Jackson : [coughs] Well, talk fast. Because unless you're sedated, Gideon can't do her thing, patch you back up.
Dr. Martin Stein : Can't you see that I'm dying?
Jefferson Jackson : What are you talking about, man?
Dr. Martin Stein : I'm old, Jefferson. And even if I hadn't been shot, no one lives forever.
Jefferson Jackson : Gray, I don't even want to hear you talking like that, man.
Dr. Martin Stein : As long as we're connected, I'm nothing more than an anchor around your neck. Which is why you must help me.
Jefferson Jackson : I don't understand, I...
[Stein points to a vial containing blue liquid]
Jefferson Jackson : Not Cisco's drug.
Dr. Martin Stein : Gideon resynthesized the liquid. She assures me it will free you of my body's biology.
Jefferson Jackson : [raising his voice, panicked] And it will free you of mine. I'm the only thing that's keeping you alive, man! I... you're asking me to KILL you, Gray!
Dr. Martin Stein : I'm asking you to let me die, so that you may live. Please hand me the vial.
Jefferson Jackson : [scared] No.
Dr. Martin Stein : I know you think you're strong enough for both of us, but unless I do this, we'll both die.
Jefferson Jackson : [desperate now] Then, we'll both die! I don't...
Dr. Martin Stein : [emotional] No! You have your whole life ahead of you. But now it's time for you to let me go.
Jefferson Jackson : [helplessly] I'm not ready for you to go!
Dr. Martin Stein : I'm not either, but if you think about it... compared to the cosmos, one's life is but a blink of an eye.
Jefferson Jackson : [voice breaking] Really? You're gonna lecture me about astrophysics right now? Gray, please don't do this to me! I can't do this!
Dr. Martin Stein : You once told me that I was like your father, and I said you were my son. How could a father do anything less?
Jefferson Jackson : [crying] Gray.
Dr. Martin Stein : [whispers] Please... please.
[Jefferson hands him the vial]
Dr. Martin Stein : Thank you, Jefferson.
Jefferson Jackson : Grey. No, don't.
[Stein drinks the liquid]
Dr. Martin Stein : Stay with me, please. I'd prefer not to be alone.
Jefferson Jackson : [nods emotionally] Yeah.
Dr. Martin Stein : Please, tell Clarissa and Lily I love them.
Jefferson Jackson : I promise.
[He starts crying]
Dr. Martin Stein : [cries too] Thank you, Jefferson for the adventure of a lifetime. I hope your life is long and full of love... just as mine..has been...
[dies]
Jefferson Jackson : Gray? Gray. No.
[crying loudly]
Jefferson Jackson : No, no!
[He sobs into Stein's shirt]
