I'm Fine

Sam in 8.20 Pac-Man Fever.

Castiel: Are you really fine? Dean: I don't know, Cas. But that's what I'm supposed to say, right? "I'm fine," keep on moving? That's what we all say. – Castiel & Dean, 14.14 Ouroboros

Sam and Dean often utter the phrase 'I'm fine' when asked how they are doing, especially after some emotional or physical trauma, to avoid talking about something they can do nothing about or to avoid talking about how they really feel.

Here is every account of this phrase, as well as 'we're fine' or 'I feel fine,' said by Sam or Dean.
