Quotes

Dean: Something on your mind, Bobby?

Bobby: Yeah. Your brother. He let Maggie come here when she had no idea what she was walking in to. She wasn't ready.
Dean: Oh, come on. When is anyone ever really ready?

Bobby: You are or you ain't. A real leader would have seen that a mile away.

Mary: Sam, watching you these last few weeks, you know what I've been saying to myself? 'This is what he has been born to do.' If Bobby can't see that, it's not the only thing he's been missing lately.

Mary: We're hunting all the time, he won't take a break not even for a second. There's something on his mind, and he doesn't want to talk about it.

Sam: Have you asked?
Mary: Bobby's not open like your dad.
Sam: Wait, like my Dad?

Mary: Okay, at least he's not like your dad was when I knew him.

Sasha: You hunt monsters?
Dean: Oh, good you told them.

Dean: Can I give you a little advice. Let it go. The past is, there's nothing you can do about it now. So, it's just baggage. Let it go, you'll feel a lot lighter.

Sasha: Is that what you do?

Dean: I try. Every single day.

Bobby: Daniel was my son. My wife, God rest her, she didn't die natural. Daniel and I buried her together. After, well, hunting, that--that's what got us through. Then the angel wars started, I been called up to serve before, so they gave me a platoon, I guess you could call it. Dan was in it, we got separated. I guess you could figure where this is headed.

Mary: It wasn't your fault.
Bobby: I'm the one who brought him to war, I'm the one that sent him to die. The angels took him, we never found the bodies. I never figured I'd be any kind of a father to a child... but Daniel was the best thing in my life. I'd always assumed that war would kill me to, but it didn't. I guess lately I've been looking for other options.
Mary: The hunting.
Bobby: It ends the same.
Mary: No. you are not allowed to give up on me.
Bobby: I don't -- I don't know any other way to live.

Mary: Then we'll find one.

Trivia & References

Dean: What are we talking here, are they some sort of weirdo shut-ins like the "Addams Family"?

Sam: Um, Maggie was working a lead, kids online said they were studying when and I quote, 'a walker tried to end them.' It's a zombie, a Walking Dead thing --

Dean: I know what a walker is, Sam.

This is a reference to the popular show The Walking Dead which currently stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan. Jeffrey Dean Morgan also portrayed John Winchester on the first two seasons of Supernatural.

Sam uses the aliases Harrison and Byrne for himself and Dean. Jerry Harrison and David Byrne were the keyboardist / guitarist and lead singer, respectively for the Talking Heads.

Bobby: You think I was too hard on your brother back there?

Dean: He's doing his best. He's doing better than his best. This whole hunter 5-0 thing, it's, he's killing hiself over it. He doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, grew himself one of those Kenny Rodgers beards. No offense.

Dean: You okay?

Sasha: Well, my father's dying and there's a strange man sharpening a machete to presumably kill monsters with in my living room. Thank God for Benzos. I never should have come back here, thanks Dad.

Minutiae

Leah Cairns, who played Sasha Rawling, previously played Julie Hudson in 2.08 Crossroad Blues.

Sam: Remember the guy in the old folks home, he could make things go "Looney Tunes."

Dean: Fred Jones, yeah Dad's buddy.

This is a reference to 8.08 Hunteri Heroici where the Winchesters and Castiel investigated a case involving a psychic named Fred Jones whose powers warped reality around him to resemble a cartoon.

Dean: It didn't hit me at first, but then I remembered. I've seen that rig before, a long time ago, when I was hooked up to it. You're not giving him blood, you're taking it. You're a djinn.

This is a reference to 2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be when Dean was captured by a djinn, put into the Fantasy Universe and partially drained of blood using a similar rig to Neil's.
