Quotes
Dean: Little early for Nazi trivia, especially without caffeine.
Crowley: They are no less than I deserve.
Lucifer: Aww, you're scared of your master. That's a good doggy. But it's an act. I broke you, but um, yup I can still smell it. You got that delectable little whiff of defiance. You're just playing, huh? Waiting for your moment to retake the throne. Am I right?
Sam: Stay here?
Sam: Lucifer.
Delphine: And your war?
Dean: I wanna help you now.
Castiel: I wanted to be of service to the fight. And only Lucifer can beat her.
Dean: Nothing. Sam, they... I was just a witness.
Sam: You wanna talk about it?
Dean: No. No, story for another day. Hey, the German ship that sank the Bluefin, what happened to it?
