Quotes

Dean: You were running an errand for the Brits? You kept it from us. Cas almost died.

Sam: A hunter got killed.
Mary: You think I don't know? I'm the one who burned his body, I'm the one who told his wife. I watch him die every night.

Dean: Good.

Mary: I'm doing this for you. I'm playing three decades of catch up here.

Dean: And we're not? How do you think this has been for us? We're your sons, and you've been gone. Our whole lives, you've been gone! You said that you need time. No, you said you needed space. So we gave you your space. But you didn't need just space. No, you needed space from us.
Mary: That's not true. Dean, I'm trying-
Dean: How about for once you just try and be a mom.
Mary: I am your Mother. But I am not just a mom, and you are not a child.
Dean: I never was. So, between us and them-
Mary: It's not like that.

Dean: Yeah, Mary it is. And you made your choice. So there's the door.

Dean: You know what screw it. I need a drink. No I need drinks, plural. And this whole peace maker shtick that you've been running. First with Cas, now with Mom. It's getting old, man.

Sam: What is that supposed to mean?

Dean: You're always playing the middle, Sam. For once, why don't you pick a side.

Mr. Ketch: You're a killer, Dean Winchester. And so am I. And if we go too long without something to track or trap or punch or gut. Well, things get a bit ugly, don't they? The Men of Letters keep me busy. They point me in a direction and 'bang' off to the races. It's not a bad life.

Mr. Ketch: Ten blood suckers. Give or take.
Dean: Two against ten. I like those odds.

Alpha Vampire: I'm old. I like living quietly. You've been making my life awfully noisy lately. You've killed so many of my children. I've seen your work... in England. I didn't get involved, because, well it's England. But America. Yes. America is my home. And it is time that you. Get. Off. My lawn.

Alpha Vampire: That gun can't save all of you.

Sam: Who said I was here to save all of us. My family and I we kill vamps when they get out of line, and you let us.
Alpha Vampire: I have many children, Sam. What's one, two here or there?

Sam: Exactly. So, let my Mom and me go. We'll walk away, go back to the way things were. The way things are supposed to be. Hunters and vampires. Cops and robbers a fair fight.

Alpha Vampire: Clever. Clever boy.

Dean: When I thought something might have happened to you, nothing else mattered.

Mary: Dean, the things I said-

Dean: Mom, you were... It's not your job to make my lunch or kiss me goodnight. We're adults. You're gonna make your own choices, even if I don't like them. Even if I really, really don't like them. It's just something I'm gonna have to get used to. Okay, Mom?

Sam: Look tonight was bad. No doubt. But the Alpha Vampire is dead. You're changing the world, and I want to be a part of it.

Mick: And you're brother?

Sam: Give me some time.

Trivia & References

"The Raid" is a reference to the 2011 Indonesia martial arts film of the same name, about a police force sent to raid an apartment complex run by a criminal.

Sam: Yeah. Um, you know I dig the whole low-budget Mission: Impossible vibe, but I'm gonna head back.

Dean: Sammy! Lucy, I'm...!

A famous line from the old TV show I Love Lucy. The full line is "Lucy, I'm home" but Dean stopped himself before finishing the line.

Mick: When we find a nest. We don't just charge ala John Wayne, guns ablazing. We wait. We watch.

Dean: I was with him when we heard this place was under attack, we drove like a bat out of hell.
