Quotes
Crowley: What? I just said I'd give you the thing.
Sam / Dean: If?
Jofiel: So perfect. Castiel -- Heaven's most wanted possessed by Heaven's most hated.
Angel: You exploded Jofiel.
Lucifer: Or did Jofiel explode himself? Just sayin'.
Lucifer: Or did Jofiel explode himself? Just sayin'.
Amara: What they call destruction, I call renovation. My blueprints, not God's.
Lucifer: Don't think about it too long. You know what they say: he who hesitates, disintegrates.
Sam: That's it? Doesn't look like much, does it?
Crowley: First impressions can be deceiving, Moose. For instance, I once thought of you as dull and plodding. Oh, never mind. Bad analogy.
Crowley: First impressions can be deceiving, Moose. For instance, I once thought of you as dull and plodding. Oh, never mind. Bad analogy.
Lucifer: As much as I get a giggle out of you two, and I do, there comes a time when every relationship runs its course. So...
Sam: So. Rowena and Crowley. Like mother, like son, huh? They both took exactly one split second to take off when things went south. By the way, what's Rowena doing with Amara?
Dean: My guess is she's playing the odds. When sucking up to Lucifer didn't work out, maybe she thought Amara was the best bet, then she heard Lucifer had a shot and switched horses again.
Dean: My guess is she's playing the odds. When sucking up to Lucifer didn't work out, maybe she thought Amara was the best bet, then she heard Lucifer had a shot and switched horses again.
Sam: Listen. Um, I know I came down on the side of wanting Cas to deal with Amara, so-
Dean: Well, that's what he wanted though, right? Besides, didn't we say we're gonna swear off getting in the way when one person makes a choice the other didn't agree with?
Sam: Yeah, um. Yeah, we did say that.
Dean: So.
Sam: Okay. So, that's our policy.
Amara: As God's favorite, His first son, you may be the one thing in all of creation that He still cares about. The one thing that could finally make Him show Himself, so I can confront Him and He can acknowledge the wrongs He's done me. And then... He can witness the utter destruction of all His creation. Before He Himself is swept away.
Lucifer: You're expecting Him? Well, I wouldn't wait up. I'm pretty sure He caught the last train out.

Lucifer: Oh, come on! It's not like He invented the Prius, which actually works. Do I have to tell you people what a mess mankind is? Salem witch trials, Third Reich, Twin Towers. And sure, every once in a while he'll send down a plague to straighten them out, it's nothing permanent. Humanity brought us Hiroshima and got a redo. I simply questioned his priorities and got the boot.

- Zorro is a swashbuckling masked vigilante from the early 20th century pulp novels of Johnston McCulley.
Sam: Dean, this is exactly how we screw ourselves, the way we make the heart choice instead of the smart choice.
