'''John:''' Most vampire lore is crap. A cross won't repel them, sunlight won't kill them, and neither will a stake to the heart. But the bloodlust, that part's true. They need fresh human blood to survive. They were once people, so you won't know it's a vampire until it's too late.}}{{TriviaQuote |Text='''John:''' I found this.<br>'''Dean:''' It's a... a vampire fang.<br>'''John:''' Not fangs, teeth. The second set descends when they attack. }}{{TriviaQuote |Text='''Dean:'''' Vampires! Gets funnier every time nest in groups of eight to ten. Smaller packs are sent to hunt for food. Victims are taken to the nest where the pack keeps them alive, bleeding them for days or weeks.' I hear it…wonder if that's what happened to that 911 couple?}}{{TriviaQuote |Text='''Dean:''' Son of a bitch. So they're really not afraid of the sun?<br>'''John:''' Ahh, direct sunlight hurts like a nasty sunburn. The only way to kill 'em is by beheading. And yeah, they sleep during the day -- doesn't mean they won't wake up.<br>'''Dean:''' So I guess walking right in's not our best option.<br>'''John:''' Actually, that's the plan.}}

'''LutherJohn:''' “Revenge isn’t worth much if you end up dead”Back in 1835, when Halley's comet was overhead, the same night those men died at the Alamo. They say Samuel Colt made a gun. A special gun. He made it for a hunter, a man like us only on horseback. Story goes he made thirteen bullets, and this hunter used the gun a half dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him. And somehow Daniel got his hands on it. They say... they say this gun can kill anything. <br>'''Dean:''' Kill anything like, supernatural anything?<br>'''Sam:''' Like the demon.<br>'''John:''' Yeah, the demon. Ever since I picked up its trail I've been looking for a way to destroy that thing. Find the gun -- we may have it.}}{{TriviaQuote |Text='''John:''' You gotta understand something. After your mother passed all I saw was evil, everywhere. And all I cared about was keeping you boys alive. I wanted you... prepared. Ready. Except somewhere along the line I... uh... I stopped being your father and I... I became your, your drill sergeant. So when you said that you wanted to go away to school, all I could think about, my only thought was, that you were gonna be alone. Vulnerable. Sammy, it just... it never occurred to me what you wanted. I just couldn't accept the fact that you and me -- We're just different. }}
