Quotes

Dean: What you looking at, porn? Sex tapes? Nip slips?

Sam: The Internet is more than just naked people. You do know that, right?

Dean: Not my Internet.
Eliot: Zombies are real?

Jack: Well, no. Not really. It's kinda disappointing. But there are other monsters.
Eliot: Like what?

Jack: Well, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters -- I've seen one of those. Djinn, rugaru -- I mean that's a funny name, yeah. Wraiths, sirens, demons, ghouls. All sorts of things.
Eliot: Do demons really look like this?
Jack: No. They don't have horns. They actually look like smoke, unless they've possessed a human, then they can look like me or you or anybody.
Dean: We hunt things, fight things and kill things people don't understand. So, kohonta, talk.
Sheriff Romero: I didn't think it was real. The kohonta was a tribal legend, an old story I hadn't heard about since I was a kid. but then I saw it, the night that Barbra was killed.
Dean: Well, it's a good thing. Like I said, we hunt these things.
Dean: Knowing about monsters and fighting them are two different things.

Sheriff Romero: So, you make that choice for everybody? Imagine telling them, imagine the lives you could save.

Dean: No. No, doesn't work like that. People die. Even when they know how to fight, people still die.

Trivia & References

Dean: We don't want to leave the Bunker empty. In case Mom, or some of the other hunters call and need help, so... And this place is long overdue for a restock, so your mission -- should you choose to accept. Made you a list.
"Your mission should you choose to accept it" is a line from the Mission Impossible series used when agents are assigned their missions.
Max: Is that whatshisname? Bambi?
Stacy: I feel bad for him.

Max: Same. I mean living with a bunch of dudes, their whole place must smell like beer, Kleenex and... Old Spice.

Max: Do you ever like, hangout?

Jack: Well, we have movie nights on Tuesdays. Dean usually picks. I've seen Lost Boys like 36 times.

The Lost Boys is a famous vampire movie from the 1980s.
Jack: I like The Who.

Stacy: Who?
Max: Oh, my Aunt listens to them. They're... old.
Jack: Dean says any music made after 1979 'sucks ass.'

Max: So, how do you use it?

Jack: Well, there are standard hand to hand combat moves. Like a lightsaber. Or you can throw it, like this.

A lightsaber is a prominent weapon from Star Wars.
Eliot: Dude, are you like a Jedi or something?

Jack: Kinda.

Another Star Wars reference.
Dean: So what the hell is this thing?

Sheriff Romero: It's not a what, who. The Parker family, they were some of the first white settlers around here, they set a homestead up in these woods, the cabin.
Sam: And then?
Sheriff Romero: Things went bad. It was a hard winter, their oldest son Henry survived, but he did things.
Dean: What kind of things? Like Donner Party?

The Donner Party was a group of American pioneers which became famous for engaging in cannibalism to survive. The Donner Party was also mentioned in 1.02 Wendigo as an example of how a wendigo is made. One member appeared in the novel Supernatural: Fresh Meat as a wendigo.
Dean: Whoa. That was like full on "Raiders."

Minutiae

Patrick Roccas, who played Deputy #2, previously played Angel #2 in 7.21 Reading Is Fundamental.
The Ghostfacers video Eliot is watching appears to be the same one from 4.17 It's a Terrible Life.
While talking with Max, Stacy and Eliot, Jack references Buddy the shapeshifter from 13.04 The Big Empty, and Dagon when he mentions having killed a demon.
The story behind the creation of the kohonta is similar to the creation story for a wendigo told in 1.02 Wendigo though with the difference of the kohonta being cursed.
