Quotes
Dean: I haven't had my own room... ever. I'm making this awesome. I've got my kickass vinyl. I've got this killer mattress. Memory foam--it remembers me! And it's clean, too. There's no funky smell. There's no creepy motel stains.
Dean: The kid needs to eat something that's not ground up hooves and pig's anuses. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Ellie: And, well, her last album was a bunch of holiday songs for dogs. My favorites were "Jingle Bark Rock" and "Don't Pee on This Tree: Happy Arbor Day."
Dean: So she's the Devil?
Dean: We’ve been down roads like this before, man. With Yellow Eyes, Lucifer, Dick Frigging Roman. We both know where this ends; one of us dies. Or worse.
Sam: So you just up and decided it's going to be you.
Sam: Closing the gates. It's a suicide mission for you. I want to slam hell shut too, okay? But I want to survive it. I want to live. And so should you. You have friends up here, family. Hell you've even got your own room now. You were right, 'kay. I see light at the end of this tunnel and I’m sorry you don’t. I am. But it’s there. And if you come with me, I can take you to it.
Dean: Sam, Be smart.
Sam: I am. And so are you. You’re not a grunt, Dean, you’re a genius. When it comes to lore...you’re the best damn hunter I’ve ever seen. Better than me, better than dad. I believe in you, Dean, so please, please, believe in me too.Trivia & References
This was the directorial debut of First Assistant Director Kevin Parks.
The Bunker is in Lebanon Kansas, which is about a six hour drive from where Kevin is on Garth's boat in Warsaw, Missouri.
Kevin compares the trials that must be undergone to close the gates of Hell, as similar to those Hercules went through. Later, Sam and Dean clean the stables at the Cassity's farm. One of the labours of Hercules was to clean the Augean stables in a day.
The hot dogs Kevin was eating were actually raw tofu dogs source.
Dean's demonic look when Ellie is hallucinating is very reminiscent of how the deadites look in Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead.
Minutiae
This episode was the first to actually show what a hellhound looks like.
