Quotes
Dean: Don't give me that 'meant to be' crap. This isn't part of some damn plan.
Sam: A -- A -- A deal? What? No. I -- I was trying to build a pyre. I couldn't -- I-I couldn't even do that for him. I should've done more.
Dean: Sam.
Sam: I should have tried harder. You know, I mean, everything we got -- the spells, the lore -- what good is any of it if we couldn't even save him? At least you were there for him.
Sam: I don't love it, either, but taking risks, making crappy deals -- that's what we do.
Dean: Yeah, and they usually bite us in the ass.
Sam: So, what do you want to do about it? Leave Jack in the morgue? Burn him? I didn't say that. Because, for me, not doing this -- that -- that would be like letting him die all over again.
Lily: Apology accepted.
Dean: Except something's been bothering me. Uh, you know, if this magic of yours is so great why'd you stop using it? You're letting yourself get old. You're letting yourself die. Why? Why risk going to Hell if you don't have to? There's something you're not tellin' us.
Sam: We never met? I mean, we've died.
Dean: Yeah. A lot.
Anubis: I'm more of a "back of the house" kind of guy. Death and her subordinates get all the face time. I get stuck with the paperwork.
Trivia & References
Minutiae
Sam: Yeah, the -- the weighing of the heart ceremony, right, but that wasn't Anubis. That was Osiris. We met him. Dean: Major dick. Castiel: Osiris is Anubis's father, and Heaven passed over him when they enlisted his son.
- We learn that Anubis, like Atropos and her sisters was brought in to work with Heaven, despite being a "pagan god." Sam also mentions his and Dean's encounter with Osris from 7.04 Defending Your Life.
