Quotes

Castiel: I'm not your father.
Claire: Right. I'm not your father. those are first words you said to me, remember?

Claire: My Dad, is he still in there?

Castiel: No, the human soul it can only occupy a body while it retains a certain structural integrity, and this vessel it was, it was ripped apart on a sub-atomic level by an archangel.
Claire: Then how are you-
Castiel: I was reassembled, your father is in Heaven.

Claire: Well, yeah for him. Anyway good talk, you can get the hell out of my life now.

Claire: You changed. The Castiel I met he was crappy, like super stuck-up and dick and you just wanted to punch in his stupid angel face.
