Quotes

Dean: You remember Top Notch Wrestling?

Sam: Yeah. Those wrestling shows Dad took us to when we were kids.
Dean: Right. Came across an obituary last night. Larry "The Hangman" Lee died.
Sam: Oh no. Wasn't he-

Dean: He was Dad's favorite. Anytime that noose would come out, Dad would be on his feet. It was one of the few times I ever saw him actually happy.
Dean: You know, when I was-when I was ten I got my first B&E 'borrowing' some family's pay-per-view so I could watch the cage match with you and the Tower of Power.
Dean: You know they're having a memorial show tonight. I know you're itching to get back-

Sam: We should go to it.
Dean: Really?

Sam: Why not? The world is still gonna be screwed tomorrow, right?
Dean: You think about that. Town after town putting your ass on the line for next to nothing. No money, no glory. Wow.
Sam: You realize you just literally described our jobs.
Gunner: I've been beat up, spit on, stabbed, roughed up. But I will be damned if I didn't always get back up. One thing I learned, you gotta keep on grinding no matter what's thrown your way.
Sam: What happened?
Dean: Mostly tequila. Cut with holy water. I bought drinks for all the wrestlers, and then they were all, 'Well... you gotta drink too.' Man they could drink. Especially Rio. I think I heard my liver screaming at me.
Crowley: The Rod of Aaron. Created by God on the sixth day and given to Aaron, brother of Moses. I knew it was powerful but had no idea it was a-

Simmons: Hand of God. Can I touch it?
Crowley: With all due respect, Simmons, I don't think you can handle my rod.

Lucifer: I bet I can. Is it just me or is it getting a little phallic in here?
Lucifer: You really thought you could double-cross me? Me?! You know I invented the double-cross, like literally.
Crowley: So this is what it feels like to be God. Not bad. Tingly.
Dean: Lawless was a good guy. He didn't deserve to go out like that, you know?

Sam: Dean, you know he made a bad decision. We've been there.
Dean: Yeah. You, me, now Cas.
Sam: Dean, we'll get him back, we will we just gotta-
Dean: Keep grinding. No matter how much it hurts, how hard it gets, you gotta keep grinding.
Sam: Right.
Dean: And that's how we're gonna win. And we're gonna win. We're gonna save Cas, we're gonna ice the Devil, and we're gonna shank the Darkness. And anyone that gets in our way. Well, God help 'em.
Sam: Damn right.

Dean: Damn right.

Trivia & References

Beyond the Mat is a 1999 documentary about pro wrestling, it takes a look behind the scenes and at life outside the ring of three wrestlers -- Mick Foley, Terry Funk, and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
Lucifer: Remember, A-B-C. 'Always be closing.' The sooner you little storm clouds find me another Hand of God, the happier I will be.
A quote from the character Blake (Alec Baldwin) in the David Mamet movie (based on his play of the same name) Glengarry Glen Ross. "Always be closing" is a strategy used in sales.
Lucifer: Alright. You're gonna look high, look low, far and wide. Search every warehouse, every farmhouse, every hen house, outhouse, and doghouse.
A quote from Tommy Lee Jones' character Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard in the 1993 movie The Fugitive. The original quote in full is:
"What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him."
Dean: Hello? FBI. I got some questions. Bueller?
Taken from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, this is often used when a question goes unanswered, with the meaning "can't (or won't) anyone answer this?"
When Dean gets in the wrestling ring he first does a strut and screams "Woooo!" which is reminiscent of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, followed by climbing the ropes and yelling, "Oh, yeah!" Which is reminiscent of "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Dean uses the alias "Agent Roussimoff," a reference to wrestler André the Giant, born André René Roussimoff.
Lucifer: You made me bleed my own blood.
This is a quote from bully Nelson Muntz in the 1990 The Simpsons episode "Bart the General". A variant of the line is also used by Ben Stiller's character White Goodman in the 2004 comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
Duke: Well it's kinda every demon for him/her/shimself.
"Shim" is a portmanteau of she and him, and is a slur used against trans and gender diverse people.
