Quotes

Sam: I think it's Snow White.
Dean: Snow White? Ah, I saw that movie. Oh, porn version anyway.

Dean: I'm gonna stop the big bad wolf. Which is the weirdest thing I've ever said.

Sam:Is that what you want me to do Dean? Just let you go?

Crossroad Demon: Aren’t you tired of cleaning up Dean’s messes? Of dealing with that broken psyche of his? Aren’t you tired of being bossed around like a snot-nosed little brother? You’re stronger than Dean. You’re better than him.

Trivia & References

The Fairy Tales referred to in this episode are:

While posing as detectives, Dean and Sam use the aliases Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, who were both members of Led Zeppelin.

The "Big Bad Wolf" in this episode has a tattoo of the Wile. E. Coyote - a Warner Brothers cartoon character who is in perpetual pursuit of the Roadrunner.

Dean: Could like Mischa Barton. The Sixth Sense, not The O.C.

In the movie The Sixth Sense, Mischa Barton plays the ghost of a young girl who was poisoned by her mother. She seeks to communicate this fact with Haley Joel Osment.
In the TV series The O.C. Mischa played Marissa Cooper.
