Quotes
Sam: Cas, what are we supposed to do, huh? Just sit on our asses do nothing?
Castiel: No we find Dean.
Crowley: Who summons anymore? Couldn't you call?
Castiel: You're not in my contacts list.
Castiel: You're not in my contacts list.
Death: Before there was light, before there was God and the archangels there wasn't nothing, there was the Darkness. A horribly destructive amoral force that was beaten back by God and his archangels in a terrible war. God locked the Darkness away where it could do no harm, and he created a Mark that would serve as both lock and key, which he entrusted to his most valued lieutenant -- Lucifer. But the Mark began to assert its own will, revealed itself as a curse and began to corrupt. Lucifer became jealous of man, God banished Lucifer to Hell, Lucifer passed the Mark to Cain, who passed the Mark to you -- the proverbial finger in the dyke.
Dean: Truth is when I left, I thought the only way out was my death. Well, I was wrong Sam, it's yours.
Sam: What evil?
Dean: The Darkness.
Sam: What the hell is that?
Death: Even if I remove Dean from the playing field, we're still left with you. Loyal dogged Sam, who I suspect will never rest until he sets his brother free, will never rest until his brother is free of the Mark, which simply cannot happen lest the Darkness be set free. Then there was that time you stood me up.
Crowley: Why the long faces? Oh, let me guess, Mother showed you her 'mustn't touch it' again.
Castiel: Do you have the ingredients?
Crowley: The quince cost me a major IOU from a Palestinian warlock, the gold from the calf -- well let's just say I'll be hanged under certain sexual deviancy laws if I show my face in Jordan again.
Rowena: And the third?
Sam: You'll never, ever hear me say that you--the real you is anything but good. But you're right, before you hurt anyone else, you have to be stopped at any cost. I understand. Do it.
Death: It's for family you must proceed, Dean. To be what you are, to become what you've become is a stain on their memory. Do it, or I will.
Dean: You okay?
Sam: I'll live. You?
Dean: Fantastic. I think I just killed Death.Sam: This is good Dean, this is good. The-the Mark is off your arm, nothing crazy happen, you got your Baby back.
Dean: Yeah, I'm sure everything's perfectly fine.
Dean: Yeah, I'm sure everything's perfectly fine.
Trivia & References
"Brother's Keeper" refers to the verses in Genesis 4:9 & 4:10:
- "Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Where is your brother Abel?' 'I don’t know,' he replied. 'Am I my brother’s keeper?'"
- "The Lord said, 'What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.'"
Castiel: I need your assistance to help cure Dean of the Mark.
Crowley: What's the expression? I gave at the office.
- "I gave at the office" is an explanation for not contributing to a cause or organization, or an excuse not to donate or participate in anything.
