Quotes
Sam: And what abut you? With magic?
Alicia: No, I don't have it. It's just kinda loud noise to me. Magic is definitely their thing, you know?
Dean: You know, I gotta say you did a bang up job with those two.
Tasha: You must be drunk.
Tasha: Alicia said you grew up in the life?
Dean: Yeah. Yeah, my Dad raised me and Sam to hunt.
Tasha: And your mother?
Dean: That's complicated.
Mary: Hey. It's me. Sorry I couldn't pick up before, I've been on a hunt with Ketch. And Dean, I'm sorry I haven't been there for you and Sam. But I wanna be. I will be. I just... I need to finish this. I miss you boys. I love you.
Mary: What are you doing here? Why is Mick's body in a box?
Mr. Ketch: An unfortunate werewolf mishap.
Mary: A werewolf? Shot him in the head?
Mr. Ketch: I've been cleaning up after them for months. I took care of those federal agents they stupidly allowed to live. I killed a psychic girl who they thought was human. Honestly, they're damn sloppy.
Mary: I think you mean, decent.
Mary: I think you mean, decent.
Sam: Hey Max, um. This is, um. You're probably in shock right now. But it's gonna pass.
Dean: And then it's gonna hurt.
Dean: And then it's gonna hurt.
Max: I could have saved them. My Mom. If I'd just taken Alicia seriously.
Dean: Come on, you can't think like that.
Sam: You did the right thing. You saved him.
Dean: Yeah. Yeah, he seemed super saved. You know I was watching them, this loving family. The kind we should have had. And now just like that, it's gone.
Sam: Dean, you couldn't let Max make some deal for his soul.
Dean: Sam, we do terrible things all the time to save each other. I mean that's what you do for family, who am I to stop him.
Sam: He's strong. He'll be alright.
Trivia & References
Dean: Okay. So, last night... that Super Mario power-up crap. That wasn't Cas. That freakin' baby isn't even born yet, and it sock puppeted him. Think about it, Cas said that he had 'faith' in Lucifer Jr., what's that supposed to mean to me?
Mr. Ketch: Yes, well Mary. I'm sad to say you won't become the Jiminy Cricket or the British Men of Letters. We don't need a conscience. Such a trite idea, but we firmly believe the ends do justify the means.
Mr. Ketch: I'm sure he's busy, when you get called to London by the old men, it's not all pints of stout and trips to the Savile Row. Oh, and you should probably return Dean's call, wouldn't want him to think mommy doesn't love him.
Minutiae

Sam: Their mom's on a hunting trip, and hasn't been home in a week.
- A spin on Dean's line from 1.01 Pilot: "Dad's on a hunting trip. And he hasn't been home in a few days."
