Quotes
Dean / Mary: Seriously?
Sam: He worked the Cage spell with Rowena, maybe he could help us.
Mary: What if he can't.
Crowley: Well, whenever there is a world ending crisis at hand, I know where to place my bets. It's on you. You big beautiful lumbering piles of flannel. So if you'll forgive my transgression, I'll make it worth your wile.
Dean: Which means?
Crowley: After we put Lucifer back in his Cage, together. I'll seal the Gates of Hell. You'll never see another demon again, apart from of course, yours truly.
Mary: You would do that?
Sam: I don't know. I gotta say a hole in reality to a bombed out apocalypse world. I'm gonna go with eleven.
Bobby: The only Winchester I ever heard of was John.
Sam: Yeah, John Winchester. Our Father.
Bobby: Doubt it. He's dead, been dead over forty years now. The only reason I know about him, is this hunter I ran with Mary Campbell, you get a few pints of shine into her, she always told the same story about the man she loved -- John Winchester. Azazel killed her about ten years ago.
Sam: Cas what the the hell is this?
Sam: And you do?
Bobby: It's my hobby and my passion. So, I figure it's only a matter of time before the dicks upstairs get wind of this. And when they show, me and Rufus go to work. He's loaded with a hundred rounds, cast from old angel blades.Crowley: You're right. It is personal. You humiliated me. I-I hate you, deeply, truly. And I'm gonna enjoy wiping that smug, self-satisfied look off your face. Personally.
Trivia & References
Castiel: I disagree. I have read 74 books on child-rearing and there is one thing they all agree on. Everybody poops.
Castiel: It's what they call contractions in my doula class. I-I took it online. First time mothers, labor can be twelve to eighteen hours, sometimes longer. Though given this is the child of Lucifer and a quasi-celestial being...
Dean: Anoth-- what, like Narnia?
- The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven stories by C. S. Lewis, featuring the fictional world "Narnia", which can be entered through the back of a closet.
Sam: So, it's a bizarro world? Or -- or like that place we got zapped to where we were, uh, actors on a TV show.
Dean: Oh, yeah. The supernatural wasn't real. And you were Polish.
- Bizarro World is a planet featured in comic books by DC Comics. It is also known as "htraE": "Earth" spelled backwards.
Dean: Yeah, I got it off an old-new pal of mine. See we have this bet, see if it works against an archangel. So, say hello to me little friend.
