Quotes

Kelly: Jack, don't let anyone tell you who you are supposed to be. Because who you're supposed to be isn't fate, it isn't me, it isn't your father. You are who you choose to be. And I know you are going to be okay. God, you are going to be amazing. You have an angel watching over you.

Missouri: Oh honey, I'm sorry for your losses.
Dean: Leave it to a psychic to cut right to the chase.

Wraith: Well then, I guess it's time to, you know, scream.
Missouri: No, there'll be none of that. I've seen how this turns out. I run, you catch me, I die. I stay, I die. But this way, my people, they're gonna murder your ass.

Patience: My grandma said she was psychic, but she's a fraud. She doesn't care about me, she ditched me -- me and Dad right after Mom died.
Dean: Okay, this woman you're describing that walked out on her family, that wasn't who Missouri was at all.

Sam: No. Jack, why do you think you're evil? Because when I look at you, that's not what I see.

Jack: Yeah, well, Dean sees it. That's why he says -- he said he'd kill me.
Sam: He what?
Jack: And maybe he should. Mom said I could be good, that I had the choice to be good, that it was up to me. But she's dead, because of me. I've only been on Earth for a few days, and I've already hurt people. I've already done bad things, and no matter how hard I try, I can't -- I can't do the one good stupid thing you want me to. So, I must be evil. Like Lucifer.

Sam: Jack, listen. Asmodeus tricking you, Dean... none of that is your fault. I think that, uh, everything that has happened, you are scared to use your power and me pressuring you certainly isn't helping.

Jack: Sam, why are you being so nice to me?
Sam: Because I know what it feels like to feel like you don't belong, to feel like there's this darkness inside of you, to be scared of who you are, what you can do. Dean, Cas -- my family helped me through that. So now I wanna help you, because you're not evil Jack.

Jody: The way you handled that wraith, you still got it.

Dean: You given any thought to what's next?

Patience: School's in an hour, so, I guess, calculus.
Jody: And your gift?
Patience: I talked to my Dad, and he thinks I should put it away. Dad says we should just get back to normal. Maybe he's right.

Dean: He is. This life, hunting monsters, there's no joy in it. There's nothing but pain, horror, and death. So, if you get a chance at normal. you take it.

Jody: Patience, wait. I may be out of line here, but you don't have to listen to him -- to either of them -- if that's what you really want. I had a daughter, I guess, Claire. And I asked her to stay in line, to defy who she really was, because I thought it would keep her safe. It didn't work. It never does. Your gift -- maybe you're right, maybe it will go away. But if it doesn't, you try to force it down to make someone else happy, you will only make yourself miserable. It's your choice. But if you ever need someone to talk to, some place to go, my door's always open.

Dean: I told him the truth. See, you think you can use this freak. But I know how this ends, and it ends bad.

Sam: I didn't.
Dean: What?
Sam: I didn't end bad. When I was the freak, when I was drinking demon blood.
Dean: Come on, man. That's totally different.
Sam: Was it? Because you could have put a bullet in me. Dad told you to put a bullet in me, but you didn't. You saved me! So help me save him!
Dean: You deserved to be saved. He doesn't!
Sam: Yes he does, Dean. Of course he does!
Dean: Look, I know you think you can use him as some sort of an inter-dimensional can opener, and that's fine. But don't act like you care about him. Because you only care about what he can do for you. So if you wanna pretend, that's fine. But me, I can hardly look at the kid. Because when I do all I see is everyone we lost.
Sam: Mom chose to take that shot at Lucifer. That is not on Jack
Dean: And what about Cas?
Sam: What about Cas?

Dean: He manipulated him. He made him promises, said paradise on Earth, and Cas bought it and you know what it got him? It got him dead. Now you may be able to forget about that but I cant!

Trivia & References

Dean: If you wanna stay here and Mr. Miyagi this kid, knock yourself out. I didn't sign up for that. So I'm gonna go to work.

Sam is reading The Drama of the Gifted Child, a book written for both parents and therapists which examines the issue of the sensitive, intelligent child who, in an effort to please a parent or parental figure, ignores his or her own needs and feelings.

Dean: How's the kid, he go darkside yet?

Sam: Nope.
