Quotes

Dean: I've been with Amara. Her beef is with the big guys -- with God, with Lucifer. The small fries, even an angel like Cas, doesn't even register. And if it meant hurting Lucifer, killing Cas would mean nothing to her.
Sam: So we get back out there. We get back to work. We keep moving. We keep working. We'll catch a break on Cas. We have to. It's -- it's karma.
Dean: You know, karma's been kicking us in the teeth lately.
Cori: It was shaped like a man. Or was it a woman?

Dean: Was it a man or a woman?
Cori: It didn't have a...
Dean: A penis?
Cori: It didn't have anything.
Dean: What, you're saying it was junkless?

Cori: Completely.
Dean: Green eyes, buzzing. Weed alone doesn't conjure up that kind of scenario. Isn't that right, Sam?

Sam: Dude, I was 18.
Dean: Sinner.
Sam: It was college. It was probably oregano anyways.
Dean: Rebel.

Sam: You're an idiot.
Dean: So we think Junkless turned Libby?

Sam: Hold up. We're not actually gonna go with 'Junkless' on this, are we?
Dean: Eh.

Sam: Dude, that's a new low, even for us.
Etta: Pete was volunteering himself all over the place. Right before he disappeared, people saw Pete diddling two different women in public, separate occasions.

Dean: You mean they actually saw him in the act?

Etta: What does 'diddling' mean to you?
Etta: Well... when Pete went missing, and we found out about the women, my grandma said that he 'got the chitters.' According to her, once a generation around the spring equinox, people in town start going nuts, having orgies, copulating in the woods. And then they disappear, never to be heard from again.

Dean: Well, that's certainly one explanation for Pete.

Etta: I never really, um, believed what she said, but... now people are disappearing again. She always said burn sage to protect yourself.
Dean: The, uh, the couple that -- that was...going at it, would you say this was a... orgy-like situation?

Cliff's Girlfriend: I've... never seen an orgy.

Dean: No?
Jesse: Bisaan can't reproduce on their own, so they take over a human body to do the deed. They enter through the mouth, like a hermit crab climbing into a shell.

Cesar: Only they don't care that the shell's not empty.

Dean: Well, that explains Junkless.
Dean: Ah, you guys fight just like brothers. Almost as bad as us.

Cesar: Well... it's more like an old married couple.
Dean: That's... Oh. So...
Cesar: Yeah.
Dean: Okay. That's... What's it like settling down with a hunter?

Cesar: Smelly, dirty. Twice the worrying about getting ganked.
Cesar: I never had a brother or a sister, but I've seen it over and over when someone loses someone when they're young. It never heals over.

Dean: No, it doesn't.
Cesar: And the insane thing is, how many hunters have you seen over the years get their revenge?
Dean: A few.
Cesar: Yeah. Me, too. And they are never fixed, are they?

Dean: No, I guess not. But you gotta help them get that revenge anyway.
Sam: They couldn't accept that your brother was taken by a monster, huh?
Jesse: They couldn't accept a lot of things. But Matty did. He was a great brother.
Sam: You know... whenever you and Dad used to leave me to go hunting and I -- and I wouldn't hear from y'all for a while, I, um, I was always sure that some vamp or rugaru or take your pick... I always figured one of them finally got ya. I tried to think of what to do, you know, the next step to take. I was just lost.
Dean: We came back, though, every time.
Dean: And look at Jesse. I mean, he turned out all right.

Sam: They're a good team.
Dean: They are. I was thinking, maybe they could give us a hand with Amara, you know, with Cas.
Sam: Fresh eyes. Could use the extra muscle, too.

Dean: Yeah.
Sam: Couldn't do it, huh?

Dean: No, didn't feel right.
Sam: Yeah. I know what you mean. Two hunters who make it to the finish line?

Dean: Yeah, you leave that alone.

Trivia & References

Matty: I can get at least $900 for the Buffalo nickel and another $400 for the double eagle.
The Buffalo nickel and the double eagle are collectible coins.
Sam: Dude, you even move since last night?

Dean: Sleeping is the new smoking.
Sam: What? No, it's not. It's sitting. Sitting is the new smoking.

In 2015, research suggested that prolonged periods of siting had detrimental effects on cardiovascular health, in some cases commensurate with smoking.
Dean: Guess that leaves me Ganja girl.
Ganja is another term for marijuana.
Sheriff Tyson: What is this? Spanish Fly gone bad?
Spanish Fly is a compound secreted by blister beetles, which can be used as an aphrodisiac, and particularly can cause prolonged erections.
Dean uses the alias "Agent Lewis," which may be a reference to original Warrant guitarist Josh Lewis.
The bar where Sam and Dean get to know Jesse and Cesar is called Rustin's Bar, and the beer they drink is Elly's Brew. Shots of the bar's sign and the beer's label were shared on the BlairWitch.net discussion boards a couple of months before this episode aired. Rustin Parr and Elly Kedward are figures in the mythology of The Blair Witch Project. The beer label contains several other references to the movie.

Minutiae

Director Eduardo Sanchez is best known for co-directing and co-writing the iconic 1999 horror movie The Blair Witch Project with Daniel Myrick.
Kuma Blu, a white Samoyed belonging to First Assistant Director Kevin Parks, appears in this episode.
Kandyse McClure, who played Sheriff Tyson, previously worked with Jensen Ackles on two episodes of Dark Angel.
Connor Stanhope, who played Matty, previously played Little Boy #1 in 5.09 The Real Ghostbusters.
April Telek, who played Etta Day, previously played Darla in 6.18 Frontierland.
Lisa Chandler, who played Mrs. Limoski, previously played a Nurse in 8.08 Hunteri Heroici.
In the graffiti-covered alley where the young couple are attacked, a piece of graffiti can be read which says "some ppl take this too seriously." While the author and intended audience are unknown, some took it as a message from the show to fans.
Graffiti with a message?

Dean thinking Cesar and Jesse fight like brothers could be seen as an inverse of the running joke that people would usually think Sam and Dean are a couple. Cesar corrects Dean that they are more like an "old married couple," something which Sam and Dean have been compared to by characters in the past when they fought.
