Quotes

Dean: So I'm guessing there's nothing on the Amara meter, either.
Sam: Uhh no, I'm starting to think that God's psycho sister has gone to ground.

Sam: Dude, I'm not gonna survive hundreds of monster attacks tot be flatlined by-by some double donut monstrosity-

Dean: This bird is fantastic. The way you mix it up with the potatoes and the-the beans, you guys eat like this every day?

Jody: It's just chicken.

Sam: It's shaped like chicken, not a patty or-or a nugget.

Alex: Claire did catch a werewolf. Oh right, turned out to be a German Shepherd with rabies.
Jody: And before that was the vampire. Council woman into erotic cosplay. I didn't know what cospaly was before that, super embarrassing for the force.

Jody: 'Kay, well um. I may, have definitely seen birth control pills in your backpack.

Sam: Oh, were going there.
Dean: Okay
Alex: Oh my god.
Jody: Hey, if we can't talk about it, we shouldn't be doing it right? Right?

Dean: What?

Jody: What I will tell you is that birth control pills are useless against STDs, whoever you are with needs to suit up, every time, always. No pulling up the drawbridge early.

Alex: Ugh, I get it!
Jody:And don't expect the guy, as much as I love Henry to show up packing, right?

Dean: What?
