Quotes
Dean: So who snatched Heaven’s most adorable angel?
Crowley: What on earth could you possibly need now, Viggor? I've given you every torture instrument known to man. Short of a Neil Diamond album.
Kevin : I can't enjoy a world I need to save Dean; I can enjoy it when it's all over. But right now, there's nothing more important than this.
Mr. Hinkley: Are you serious?
Castiel: Yes, that is his serious face.
Castiel: Yes, that is his serious face.
Dean: I’m just tired of all the fighting. And, you know, maybe I’m a little bit jealous. I could never separate myself from the job like you could. Hell, maybe it’s time for at least one of us to be happy.
