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 to 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?

Dean: Well, you know I thought we would be helping you with monsters, not birth control.

Dean: You need to show Jody a little respect. She did you a huge solid by taking you in. She got you set up at school-

Claire: I don't want to go to school.
Dean: Nobody wants to go to school, Claire. It's school.
Claire: Exactly.
Dean: My point is, she's been busting her ass to give you a life. She's feeding you, hell you got a nicer room than I do now, she kept you out of jail.
Claire: I never asked her to.

Dean: And that's what I'm talking about. You need to act like you give a crap. You need to appreciate what that woman's done-

Jody: It had to be the leg. I'm gonna need bionics.

Dean: You gonna be alright now that you're out numbered again?

Jody: As long as everyone wears a condom, we'll be fine.

Dean: I want that bumper sticker.

Trivia & References

"Don't You Forget About Me" is a reference to the song "Don't You (Forget About Me)," which is famous for its use in the John Hughes film The Breakfast Club.

Sam: What the hell is that?

Dean: That? That's the Elvis.

Jody: Winchesters?

Alex: Why would they be here?
Jody: I didn't put up the Bat-Signal.

Claire: It's not like I need the Biebs on my wall.

Henry: Seriously, Al? You were a complete freak, I mean you were an anger loner creeping around the school like a Trench Coat Mafia.
