Quotes

Dean: I'm sorry I don't always like to wait around for ya. Especially with you looking at me like that all the time.

Sam: Like what?

Dean: Like that. Like I'm some sort of a-a diseased killer puppy.
Sam: What are you doing here?
Dean: Well it looks like, I uh, I'm here to save your sac.
Suzie Hallucination: Boo. Survived forty years in this house, keeping that thing on lock down, and one visit from a putz like you...

Sam: I'm sorry, okay I'm so sorry.
Suzie Hallucination: A lot of good sorry does me, look at me. Look. At. Me. There she is, the first casualty in your misguided mission, but what's another human life to you? Anything's worth it, as long as you two make it out alive. And how's that search going? Any closer to a cure?

Sam: This isn't real. You're not real.
Dean: Benny, whoever you are, I need to get out of here.

Benny Hallucination: Need, want. Two different things, ain't they? It's all figment right? You, me, left, right. But no matter which way you turn, you end up here. You gotta wonder, why this figment? Why this place?
Dean: What are you saying?

Benny Hallucination: Nothing you don't already know. This is where you wanna be, your happy place. And you don't really want to leave.
Benny Hallucination: Listen. This place, you don't have to go looking for a fight. All you have to is be still for one moment, and that fight will come to you. That's why you're here, Dean. That's the purity you crave -- killing with no consequence.

Dean: No, Benny, I don't wanna fight anymore. I'm tired of fightin'.

Benny Hallucination: The Mark ain't.
Benny Hallucination: You can't tell me you haven't been thinking about it.

Dean: That ain't gonna happen, ever.
Benny Hallucination: Come on, Dean. I know you can see it. The purity, the honor.
Dean: There's no honor in that.

Benny Hallucination: What, you just wanna wait for the Mark to reclaim you? Go out swinging, die topside, then what? Maybe kill a few humans? Kill Cas? Kill your brother? Yeah, that's mighty honorable!
Sam: Get away from me! No, don't! Don't! It's the only way. It needs legacy blood... Enough to take a life.
Dean: Yeah, well. It doesn't have to come from just one legacy, does it? It needs more blood, it can have mine.
Dean: That says something, doesn't it? Werther splits us up in there. Within an hour, we're both on the brink of death. Sorry about yesterday, going rogue on you like that.

Sam: You know what, Dean. Don't apologize, I... I think that makes us even.

Dean: The universe is trying to tell us something we both should already know. We're stronger together than apart.
Rowena: We had an agreement, giant.

Sam: The agreement stands. You will decrypt the Book of the Damned and find me a cure for my brother. And that is all you will get from the book. I'll burn the book, then I'll kill Crowley. But until then...
Rowena: I'm your slave? You can't -- you can't just leave me here.

Sam: You want out? Hurry up. Get to work.

Trivia & References

"The Werther Project" is a reference to the Werther effect or copycat suicide.
The Looney Tunes cartoon that Suzie is watching in the beginning of the episode is titled "Roman Legion Hare." You can watch it here.
Suzie's Mom: I need the laundry started, the workman have finally left for the day and I have my hands full with dinner. And please none of your Betty Friedan stuff.
Betty Friedan was a writer, activist and feminist. She was considered one of the leading figures of the women's movement in the United States.
Dean: You know what man, I'm sweaty, I'm covered in vamp juice, can we talk about this later? I'd like to get back to the Bunker and get my buzz on and pass out watching Speed 2: Cruise Control. We cool?
Dean uses the name Dwight Twilley to get into Suzie's home. Dwight Twilley is an American pop/rock singer and songwriter.
Suzie Hallucination: You think Dean's the wildcard, the loose canon. But don't you see; making deals with witches, opening Pandora's box down there, you're the reckless one. You'll do anything to keep clinging to that doomed brother of yours, how many more will die Sammy? You know it! You have to be stopped, and the only that can stop you is you! Do it Sammy, end this farce once and for all!
Pandora's box is an object in Greek mythology which contained all the evils of the world.
Rowena: Well then, we'll just have to tie up the bonny lad. Could be fun.
"Bonny lad" is Scottish slang for a "good looking boy."
Benny Hallucination: Out there? You're sleeping. You make the right choice in here, you'll sleep forever, and you won't ever hurt anyone ever again. No one needs to know, Dean. What happens in Purgatory, stays in Purgatory.
"What happens in Purgatory, stays in Purgatory" is play on the marketing phrase "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
Rowena: Ugh! You big bampot!
A bampot is a Scottish pejorative for an idiot.
