Quotes

Chuck: Three days later another car rolled off that same line. No one gave two craps about her., but they should’ve. Because this 1967 Chevrolet Impala would turn out to be the most important car..no, the most important object in pretty much the whole universe.
Dean: Watching out for you is my job. More than that, it's who I am.
Dean: So then what am I supposed to do?
Sam: You go find Lisa. You pray to God she’s dumb enough to take you in. You have barbecues, and got o football games. You go live some normal apple pie life Dean. Promise me!
Sam: Take care of these guys, okay?

Castiel: It’s not possible.
Sam: Humor me

Castiel: Oh I’m supposed to lie, Umm sure.. . we’ll be fine.
Lucifer: Sorry if it’s a bit chilly. Most people think I burn hot. It’s actually quite the opposite.
Lucifer: I've been waiting for you for a long time. C'mon Sam, you have to admit...you can feel it. Right?

Sam: What?

Lucifer: The exhilaration. And you know why that is? Becasue we are two halves made whole. MFEO. Literally.
Castiel: I want you to understand, the only thing you are going to see out there is Michael killing your brother.
Dean: Then I ain't going to let him die alone.
Castiel: Hey assbut!
Dean: Sammy? Sammy? It's okay, I'm here. I'm not going to leave you.
Dean: What are you going to do next?

Castiel:return to heaven I suppose. With Michael in the cage, I'm sure it's total anarchy up there.
Dean: So what - you're the new Sheriff in town.

Castiel: I like that. yeah. I suppose I am.
Castiel You got what you asked for Dean. No Paradise. No Hell. Just more of the same. I mean it Dean. What would you rather have? Peace - or freedom?
