Trivia & References

"Regarding Dean" is a reference to the 1991 film Regarding Henry, about a lawyer who struggles with his memory after a shooting.

Dean: Okay One: The Rat Pack partied till the day they died and B: I can still kick your ass.

Dean: Witches. I guess it's true what they say. Mo money, mo problems.

Sam: Listen, man, I know we haven't had it easy lately, this thing with the Devil's kid and getting tossed into west Guantanamo makes me want to hit the bottle too, sometimes. But, dude you're wrecked. And we got a case to work, so get it together, alright?

Dean: Dude, if a witch got a clear shot at me, I would be dead. I wouldn't be freckin' Dory.

Sam: Dory?
Dean: Not gonna apologize for loving that fish, not to you, not to anyone.

A reference to the Finding Nemo and Finding Dory character who had memory issues.

Sam: Right. Okay, right. If you're doing so well, name all the members of Bon Jovi.

Dean: Okay. We talking circa 1983?

Rowena: From the neck down, is he smooth like a Ken doll?

Sam: I don't know, and I'm not checking either.

Dean: So this spell, I'm stuck in some sort of Memento crap?

Sam and Dean use the aliases "Agents Moon and Entwistle," references to Keith Moon and John Entwistle of The Who.

Elka: Last night, you told me your name was Springsteen, like the Boss.

Dean: It's like I'm watching myself on Netflix.
