Episodes

1.02 Wendigo

Samuel: Family business, Mary... Family.

4.13 After School Special

Mr. Wyatt: Well, your brother is quite a character. And your father - he seems, uh, driven. Anyway, it's good, Sam. It’s really good. Have you ever thought about pursuing writing?
Sam: I can't. I have to go into the family business.
Mr. Wyatt: Family business?
Sam: Yeah, my - my dad's a mechanic. So I have to be a mechanic, too.
Mr. Wyatt: Do you want to go in the family business, Sam?

Mr. Wyatt: Well?

Crowley: What's the line? "Saving people, hunting things. The family business." Well, I think the people you save, they're how you justify your pathetic little lives.

11.05 Thin Lizzie

Dean: Whew! Working with family can be tough.

Dean: No. I talked to his neighbors. And except for me seeing him at the B&B he’s been here all night. So, we can’t kill him because he hasn’t done anything yet.
