Quotes
Sam: What?
Dean: Yeah, she's got this blog. Yeah, you know what? Your kids aren't that cute. And that gluten-free popover looks like crap because there's no gluten in it. You know what I mean? -- I'll stop talking.
Castiel: Seems like an odd stance for... you.
Dean: And whose fault is that?
Chuck: Yeah. I mean, you're my favorite show.
Chuck: Okay, Dean, no offense, but your brother is stupid and crazy. And that kid is still dangerous. So pick up the gun. Pick it up... pull the trigger... and I'll bring her back. Your mom.
Dean: No. No. My mom was my hero. And I miss her, and I will miss her every second of my life, but she would not want this. And it's not like you even really care. 'Cause Sam's right. The Apocalypse, the first go-around, with Lucifer and Michael -- you knew everything that was going on, so why the games, Chuck, huh? Why don't you just snap your fingers and end it?!
Sam: And every other bad thing we've been killing been dying over -- where were you? Just sitting back and watching us suffer so we can do this over and over and over again -- fighting losing people we love? When does it end? Tell me.
Chuck: Dean, don't do this.
Billie: Yeah, about that. We should talk.
Trivia & References
- In the Star Trek series, the Mirror Universe is one where people are the opposite versions of themselves.
Sam: Takes one to know one.
Dean: What?
Sam: You. Come on, man. You're always calling me a geek, but you know every word to every Led Zeppelin song -- backwards and forwards -- you can discuss in detail every major rock drummer between '67 and '84 and... You watch "Jeopardy!" every night.
Dean: Okay. All right. Yeah. But I'm nothing like these, you know, gaggle of Zuckerbergs.
- Mark Zuckerberg is a tech entrepreneur who co-founded Facebook.
Man #2: I know. Kinda into it.
- A reference to the fetish known as cuckoldry or "wife watching."
Sam: What? You...
Dean: Look, I know you say it's Elvis, but we both know that's crap, so tell me who your favorite singer is.
Sam: Well, it's like you said, it's Celine Dion. I mean Celine Dion. It's Celi-- Dean, every time I try and say "Elvis," it comes out --
Dean: The sad, horrible truth.
- We have previously known little of Sam's musical tastes except that a song by Jason Manns was playing on his iPod in 4.01 Lazarus Rising, and his enjoyment of '80s hair bands such as Bon Jovi and Vince Vincente and Ladyheart. This is the first time we hear that he claims rocker Elvis Presley as his favorite singer. Celine Dion is a Canadian singer. Her song "My Heart Will Go On" featured in the episode of the same name.
- This character is a shoutout to the movie Office Space, in which worker Milton is obsessed with his red Swingline stapler (one of which the Stapler Queen can be seen with) which people keep stealing. Trivia: the stapler in the movie was a black one painted red. It became such a cult item that Swingline produced a red stapler as part of its line.
- A reference to current events of 2019 with President Donald Trump, who was also referenced by Sam in 13.23 Let the Good Times Roll. While unable to lie, President Trump apparently reveals the truth about his contested tax returns, his ties to foreign powers, and that he made a deal with Crowley. However, Chuck erasing everything done under Jack's truth compulsion means that only Sam and Dean remember this.
- Deus Ex Machina literally translates as "God in the machine" and refers to a narrative device whereby there is an unexpected, and often contrived, resolution to a plot.
Chuck: It's hard to explain. Um... everywhere and nowhere, to the edge of the universe and beyond. And I saw Springsteen on Broadway. Man's a genius.
Dean: What about Amara?
Chuck: She's been with me. Yeah, it's been nice reconnecting after the whole "trying to murder me and end all existence" thing.
Castiel: Where is she now?
Chuck: Reno. Turns out she loves Keno.
- Springsteen on Broadway was a concert residency by rock songwriter and musician Bruce Springsteen from October 2017 to December 2018.
- Keno is a lottery-like gambling game. Reno is a town in Nevada, USA, known for its casinos.
Reporter: ...rioting in the streets as the Dow drops nearly 15,000 points.
German Woman: The Purge is real!
Spanish Woman: Stay in your homes. I repeat -- it’s too dangerous!
Mandarin Woman: The State is a lie!
British Woman: And it's been confirmed -- the Queen of England is, in fact, a lizard.
- The Dow or Dow Jones Industrial Average, is a stock index that tracks 30 publicly-owned companies.
- The Purge refers to a film and TV franchise, based on the premise that in the near future, once a year all crime including murder will be legal for 24 hours.
- There is a popular conspiracy theory that many well-known public figures are, in fact, lizard people in disguise.
Chuck: I'm thinking of calling it... the Equalizer! Or... the Hammurabi. No? All right, cool. That's cool. Cool.
- Hammurabi was the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, reigning from 1792 to 1750, BCE. He is known for codifying laws with an emphasis on the physical punishment of perpetrators of crimes, rather than the compensation of victims.
- The story of Abraham and Isaac is from the Hebrew Bible and features in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. In the biblical narrative, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Moriah. Abraham undertakes to do the deed, but is interrupted by an Angel. He then sees a ram caught in a bush and sacrifices it instead.
