Dr. Martin Stein : We're dealing with a lot of big scientific ideas today, but you, Mr. Thawne, might be the most interesting thing here at S.T.A.R. Labs.
Detective Eddie Thawne : Me?
Dr. Martin Stein : What are the odds that Dr. Wells would travel back in time and get stuck in the exact same city as his great-great-great-great grandfather, working in the same profession, the-the same building, and that part of his plan to get home would mean that he'd have to preserve and protect your life. That makes you this rare thing that-that-that no scientist can plan for.
Detective Eddie Thawne : Which is?
Dr. Martin Stein : Coincidence. There is no science to coincidence. You, sir, are an anomaly, a-a wild card, as it were. You are the only person in this whole story who gets to choose his own future. At least, that's my opinion.

Reverse-Flash : Just so we're clear, after I kill you, I'm going to kill them, and then I'm going to kill your father. I always win, Flash.
[gunshot fires, Eddie has shot himself]
Iris West : Aagh! Eddie! Oh, my... !
Joe West : Eddie! What did you do? What did you do? What did you do?
Detective Eddie Thawne : No such thing as a coincidence.
Barry Allen : What's happening?
Reverse-Flash : [dissolving] Cisco, help me.
Cisco Ramon : Eddie's his ancestor. If Eddie dies, he'll never been born, and... He's being erased from existence.
-
Detective Eddie Thawne : No, Dr. Wells made it pretty clear when he told me about the future: I don't matter. As far as history is concerned, I don't save the day or get the girl.
Dr. Martin Stein : And... you believed him?
-
Detective Eddie Thawne : Screw the future.
-
Detective Eddie Thawne : We have all been so focused on Barry's destiny, I forgot that I have one too.
[pause]
Detective Eddie Thawne : And it's you... Iris West. Every moment of my life led to meeting you. Screw the future.
Iris West : [Giggles] Screw the future.
[they kiss]
