Quotes

Sam: This isn't about what I said the other day, is it?

Dean: Oh, about how we're not supposed to be brothers? No, don't flatter yourself. I don't break that easy.
Sam: Good, 'cause I was just being honest.

Dean: Oh, yeah. No, I got that loud and clear.
"Slim" Jim Morgan: When I gear up for a competition I eat lettuce. It stretches the stomach.
Dean: Yet another reason to stay away from salads.
Dean: So...180. Known fact -- all women lie about their weight and age.
Sam: Wait, you told that waitress the other day you were 29.
Maritza: This isn't what you think. I'm not a killer.

Dean: Well, then what are you?
Maritza: I'm a pishtaco.

Dean: A fish taco?
Dean: About what you said the other day.

Sam: I thought it didn’t bother you.
Dean: You know Sam, I saved your hide back there. I saved your hide at that church — in the hospital. I may not think things all the way through but when I do, it’s because it’s the right thing. I’d do it again.
Sam: And that is the problem. You think you’re my savior, my brother, the hero. You swoop in and even when you mess up you think what you’re doing is worth it because you’ve convinced yourself you’re doing more good than bad... but you’re not. Kevin’s dead, Crowley’s in the wind, we’re no closer to beating this angel thing, please tell me, what is the upside to me being alive?
Dean: Are you kidding me? You and me, fighting the good fight together.
Sam: Just once be honest with me, you didn’t save me for me. You did it for you.
Dean: What are you talking about?
Sam: I was ready to die, I was ready. I should have died. But you, you didn’t want to be alone. That’s what this boils down to, you can’t stand the thought of being alone. I’ll give you this much, you are certainly willing do the sacrifice, as long as you’re not the one being hurt.
Dean: Alright, you want to be honest, if the situation was reversed, and I was dying, you’d do the same thing.

Sam: No Dean, I wouldn’t. Same circumstances, I wouldn’t. I’m heading to bed.

Trivia & References

"The Purge" in the episode title refers here to both the physical process to rid the body of toxins or waste often undertaken as part of extreme dieting, and the emotional process Sam and Dean are undergoing in their relationship.
Wayne McNut: Hey, back off, Skeletor. I won fair and square.
Skeltor is the main antagonist in the Masters of the Universe series, who like his namesake suggests has the appearance of a skeleton.
"Slim" Jim Morgan: Like hell you did, Jabba! I saw you slip a hot dog in your pocket!
Jabba the Hutt is the fat slug like crime lord from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, who placed a bounty on Han Solo's head.
Dean: How the hell do you know anything about yoga?

Sam: You’re not the only one who has dated someone bendy.

A reference to Lisa Braeden, whom Dean once had a "bendy" weekend with when he was younger.
Dean: I mean, what do we got ourselves? A "Thinner" sitch here?
Thinner is a Stephen King novel, written under the pseudonym Richard Bachmann, and later made into a movie, about a man who is cursed by an elderly Romani man to lose weight until he dies.
Sam uses the alias Agent Frehley, a reference to Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley.
Dean: Yes, personal training brothers. Kind of like Hans and Franz, but, uh, less German.
Hanz and Franz were two characters - Austrian fitness freaks - played by Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live.
Sam: What? How do you know what roofies look like?

Dean: How do you not know? You think I want to end up in a hotel bathtub with my kidney carved out? In Chechnya?

Roofies refer to the drug Rohypnol which is a powerful sedative. Dean references an urban legend where people are drugged and their kidneys stolen and sold on the black market for transplants. Immortalized in the brilliant Charlie the Unicorn animation.
Sam: Yeah. Yeah. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Every single person in class had one of those freaky-ass suction marks.
Invasion fo the Body Snatchers is a 1956 movie where the inhabitants of a town are taken over by aliens.
