Kevin plays Suite No. 5 in C minor, II: Allemande by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Quotes

Edgar: Strange, isn't it, that someone would choose to be named "Dick"?
Meg:He's been like the naked guy at the rave ever since he woke up. Totally useless.

Castiel: Will you look at her? My caretaker. All of that thorny pain. So beautiful.

Meg: We've been over this. I don't like poetry. Put up or shut up.
Castiel: Did you know that a cat's penis is sharply barbed along its shaft? I know for a fact that females were not consulted about that.
Dean: So - you can read the chicken scratch on the God rock? It's back in one piece I see. And you're saying there's a how to punch Dick recipe in there somewhere?
Kevin: I don't know what you're saying, but it seems like a "in case of emergency" note.
Castiel: We were assigned to watch the Earth. Often it was boring. Your wars were very boring. Sex... repetition.
Castiel: I don't fight any more. I watch the bees.
Kevin: This looks like a sex torture dungeon. Is this a sex torture dungeon?
Castiel: You seem troubled. Course that's a primary aspect of your personality so I sometimes ignore it.
Hester: The very touch of you corrupts. When Castiel first laid a hand on you in Hell, he was lost!
Sam: It says we need to start with the blood of a fallen angel.
Castiel: Well, you know me. Always happy to bleed for the Winchesters.

Trivia & References

Reading is Fundamental is a nonprofit organization that promotes children's literacy.
Castiel: This is the handwriting of Metatron.

Sam: Metatron?!? You're saying a Transformer wrote that?
Dean: No, that's Megatron.
Sam: What?
Dean: The Transformer, it's Megatron.
Sam: What?

Megatron is a Transformer robot, and is the leader of the Decepticon uprising.
Castiel: I don't fight any more. I watch the bees.

In the story His Last Bow by Arthur Conan Doyle, it is revealed that after retirement Sherlock takes up beekeeping with the same passion and obsession he once had for detecting:

“Exactly, Watson. Here is the fruit of my leisured ease, the magnum opus of my latter years.” He picked up the volume from the table and read out the whole title, “‘Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen.’ Alone I did it. Behold the fruit of pensive nights and laborious days, when I watched the little working gangs as once I watched the criminal world of London.”
Dean and Castiel play the board game Sorry!, which originated in England in the 1920s. It is based on the ancient Indian game of Pachisi. Players draw cards which direct their movement around the board. One players movements may result in another being sent back to the Start - hence the title of "Sorry!"
Meg: What up, Bullwinkle?

Meg refers to Sam as Bullwinkle who was a large moose in the cartoon "Rocky and Bullwinkle". Crowley has referred to Sam as Moose on several occasions.

Moose is often used to refer to Jared as well - see Nicknames for more.
Meg: Hey Seacrest, not a nurse, just playing one on TV. Seacrest refers to Ryan Seacrest who is best known as the host of "American Idol". The comment is also a meta one, as it refers to the fact that Meg is pretending to be a nurse, but also that Rachel Miner is an actress playing one on TV.
Sam: We broke this thing open last night and every maternity ward in a five miles radius got slammed. Looks like any woman in their last month of pregnancy went into labour!
This could be a reference to the birth of Jared's son on the 19th March. The episode was filmed from Mar 15th to Mar 26th. At Roadhouse Con Brasil 2012 Jared said that Gen went into labour during the first day of shooting during the scene where Sam was running after Kevin. source
Castiel: Boop!
In the movie Dogma God, as played by Alanis Morissette, says this while poking another character's nose in the same way that Castiel does to Kevin Tran in this scene.

Minutiae

The Leviathan are building a slaughterhouse under the guise of a development called "GeoThrive".
The page containing the translated Word of God reads: "...the body will founder. Waste not thy time nor your breath upon the Leviathan herd. Point thy blade at the heart of their master, for from him springs all their messages. Leviathan cannot be slain but by a bone of a righteous mortal, as light and good as the Leviathan are hungry and dark, washed in the three blood of the fallen: a fallen angel, the ruler of the fallen humanity, and a father of fallen beasts."
