Quotes

Dean: Well, you look like crap on toast.

Sam: I just haven't really been sleeping well.
Dean: Is there a women you haven't mentioned?
Sam: A woman?
Dean: Well, I'm just saying you weren't here when I went ot bed last night, you been running off on your own a lot these past couple of weeks.
Sam: I do that.
Dean: You actually don't.

Sam: Dean, we don't always do the exact same thing at the exact same time. Remember when you went off and snuffed that vampire nest by yourself?
Dean: Well, there's pretty much what we do know, that they screwed with financial markets, they helped Hitler get started, along with god knows what else -- probably disco. But you go back to the 1800s, and the trail goes dead. There's nothing in the research, there's nothing online. It's like the family just popped up one day.
Rowena: I thought I was clear, Samuel. I requested more time, not an assistant.
Sam: And I thought I was clear, Rowena. Charlie is not your assistant. You're hers.
Rowena: Hell's bells. More distractions? What are you? Witch or nerd?

Castiel: Angel.

Rowena: Beg pardon?
Crowley: Just for once, I wish you trolls would bring me some good news. 'Sire, Missouri has boils.' Something cheerful.
Charlie: I actually don't see our similarities all that much.

Rowena: Because you're young and good and I'm ancient and evil? Is that it? What? Let me tell you about you -- a difficult and lonely childhood. Tragedy, absent parents. Always outside the mainstream. Sexually progressive. Living in your own head for solace and direction. Yeah, but still, we are pretty different. I read you the minute I saw you. And I'm sure you're learning that the line between good and evil is quite flexible. But we part company when it comes to blind devotion. Case in point -- the Winchesters. You've made them the family you don't have. Foolish.
Charlie: Sam and Dean are like my brothers. I love them.

Rowena: I know. And that steadfast loyalty will be your undoing, my girl.
Sam: Uh, what about you? How you doing?
Dean: Oh, you mean the thing? Yeah. Yeah. You know, some dark thoughts, creepy visions, violent urges. Same old same old. I'm happy I got a murder to focus on, though.
Dean: Cas?

Castiel: Sam.
Dean: No, it's Dean. What's up?
Castiel: Nothing. I'm just, uh... Just staying in touch. Like I do.
Dean: Something on your mind?

Castiel: No. This call is pointless. My ride's here.
Dean: Charlie has the damn Book of the Damned?!

Charlie: No, I don't have it. I just -- I I just -- I have my notes.
Sam: Then give them your notes, Charlie! Give them the code -- whatever they want!
Dean: Charlie, I don't know what the hell is going on, but you need to listen to me. Give whoever that is whatever they want. You understand? Charlie?!

Charlie: I can't do that, Dean.

Trivia & References

The title "Dark Dynasty" is a play on Duck Dynasty, a reality TV show about a family of Louisiana duck hunters. One of the family members was suspended briefly from the show for making rabid homophobic comments. Ironic, given that Charlie, a lesbian, died in this episode.
Charlie works in this episode to decode Nadya's Codex. Actor Felicia Day had previously starred as a character called Codex in the web series The Guild which she created.
Charlie: Why are we meeting here? I could've come to the Death Star.
Charlie is referring to the Bunker as the Deathstar - a moon-sized battle station which houses a laser that can destroy a planet from Star Wars.
Rowena: To cure one curse, Agnes had to know how to inflict another. They live side-by-side in the magic world. One cannot be without the other.

Charlie: Sure, sure. Like, uh, a binary system.

A binary system denotes to objects in space (usually stars) that are so close that their gravitational interaction causes them to orbit about a common center of mass.
Eli: A dump called the Blackbird motel. Registered under the name Carrie Asimov.
All of Charlie's alias' are a combination of a the first character from a Stephen King Novel (in this case the eponymous lead character of Carrie) and the family name of a science fiction author. Here it is Isaac Asimov.

Minutiae

A clue to the Styne's true identity as the House Frankenstein can be spotted in the family crest, first seen in 10.18 Book of the Damned which bares a striking resemblance to the Frankenstein family crest seen in Young Frankenstein.
