|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.

Castiel: Yes, well... before I was very selfish. I was convinced I was on this righteous path. Now I realize that there is no righteous path, it's just people trying to do their best in a world where is far to easy to do your worst.

Claire: Wow, deep.

Castiel: Yeah, for a doof.

Dean: This is why you called us, this is your emergency?

Castiel: Yes.

Dean: No Cas, an emergency is a dead body, okay or a wigged out angel, or the Apocalypse take three. Some chick bolting on you is no emergency, that's every Friday night for Sam.

Crowely: She was a horrible mother. Did I tell you the time that she almost traded me for three pigs, three! I was an attractive child, I could juggle, I was worth five pigs, at least.

Gerald: My Ma used to burn me with cigarettes.

Crowely: Nobody cares Gerald... Don't get me started about the name, Fergus. Sounds like venereal disease, and not the fun kind.

Claire: You want to talk to me about wrong? You killed my Dad, is that wrong enough for you?

Castiel: No I didn't.

Claire: Really? Because without you he'd still be here, and my Mom would still be around.

[Claire points her gun at Sam and Dean]

Sam: Hold on a second.
Claire:Why, like you don't have it coming? You just stood there while this monster took my Dad. I used to pray to you Castiel, every night. I would beg you to bring him home safe.
Castiel: I know.

Claire: You know. My father was a good man, what messed up world does he die and you get to live?

Crowley: You said, you'd be back in a flash and then you disappeared, I was eight-years-old, eight!

Rowena: Oh now, you're being dramatic.
Crowley: I didn't even have a father!
Rowena: Of course you had a father. You were just conceived during a winter solstice orgy, and I wasn't taking names.
