Quotes
Chuck: I prefer it.
Sam: Okay, uh, Chuck it is. I'm sorry, you're gonna have to give Dean and me a moment to start to process. We didn't know you were around. I mean we knew about Chuck, but we just didn't know about 'Chuck.' I-I-I was hoping you were around, I prayed and I don't know if they got lost in the spam-
Chuck: I was aware, Dean.
Dean: But you did nothing. And again, I'm not trying to piss you off. I don't want to turn into a pillar of salt.
Chuck: I actually, I didn't do that.
Dean: But, It didn't get better.
Chuck: I've been mulling it over and from where I sit, I think it has.
Dean: Well from where I sit, it feels like you left us and you're trying to to justify.
Sam: Must have been great being her brother, huh?
Chuck: I've never seen so much porn. Not in one sitting.
Chuck: Not from me. I mean, I believe in me, but your skepticism is to be expected. I did include free will in the kit.
Chuck: If my plan doesn't work, then humans will step up. You, Sam, others that are the chosen will have to find a way. It's why I saved you years ago. You're the firewall between light and darkness.
Dean: There can be no us. We should just walk away.
Dean: This world is flawed, I'll give you that. But I am not ready to say goodbye to it yet.
Amara: Then why fight it? What you're feeling is that I'm the end of your struggle. Something stops you, keeps you from having it all.
Metatron: He meant well. Spare the universe.
Lucifer: You've changed.
Dean: She wants me to be a part of her. Not metaphorically, I'm talking literally. Forever. So in other words, adios.
