Quotes

Mary: You left them!

Castiel: No, I. Dean told me to go, the woman-
Mary: The one you lost!?
Castiel: I didn't... I thought she-

Mary: Stop making excuses! Why if they needed help, why didn't they call me?
Mary: I keep telling myself they're fine. They've only been gone-

Castiel: Six weeks, two days and ten hours.

Mary: We'll find them Castiel. We will. Until then, we'll just... We're doing our best.
Castiel: Did you hear about the murders in Lancaster, Missouri?

Mary: No.
Castiel: The women with their throats ripped out and blood drained.
Mary: Vampire.

Castiel: I saw it on the news and thought, 'that's the sort of thing Sam and Dean would investigate. They would roll into town. Save the day. Kill the monsters.' But with them gone. I tried to work the case. I tried. But I don't know what I did wrong. I-I asked questions. But, maybe they were the wrong people and the wrong questions, and I just... never found it. I never found the monster, never even got close. And three more women died before I left town. Before I ran away.
Mary: What do you think we're walking in to?

Castiel: I don't know. We may want back up. Crowley, Rowena.

Mary: The King of Hell, and his mother, the witch? I hope we can do better than that.
Mary: Seat belt on. I drive fast.
Mick: Mrs. Winchester. Mary. I came to this country to do one thing. Make friends. But you American hunters, you're-you're a different breed than our sort. You're surly, suspicious, you don't play well with others.

Castiel: Well, that is accurate.

Mick: You don't trust people you don't know, even when they come baring gifts. Now I can't help that, but I can help you. And if word were to get out that we did our part to save Sam and Dean Winchester, well that's just good business. Init? And who knows, when all this is over we may even be friends.
Sam: You want the truth? The President was possessed, by the Devil. We saved his life. That's the truth.

Dean: Now you can take that and do what you want with it, but if you come after us. You know what will happen.
Camp: Who are you?

Sam: We're the guys that save the world.
Mary: Why would you?

Dean: We were already dead. Being locked in that cell, with nothing. I've been to Hell, this was worse.

Sam: At least this way. One of us gets to keep fighting.
Dean: Cas what have you done?
Castiel: What had to be done. You know this world? This sad, doomed little world. It needs you. It needs every last Winchester it can get, and I won't let you die. I won't let any of you die. And I won't let you sacrifice yourselves, you mean too much to me. To everything. Yeah, you made a deal. A stupid deal, and I broke it. You're welcome.
Mick: Let me paint you a picture of a world without monsters or demons or any of those little buggers that go bump in the night. Of a world where no one has to die because of the supernatural. Of a new world. A better world.
Mary: I'm listening.

Trivia & References

"First Blood" is a reference to the 1982 film of the same name, where Vietnam veteran John Rambo is also pursued by the authorities through the woods.
Castiel: Come on, Crowley, the police took them, you have people in the government. You have spies.

Crowley: I do. But whatever's happened to Moose and Squirrel, apparently it's above their pay grade.

Castiel: Do you even care that they're gone?

Crowley:No. Do you know how many all-powerful beings have tried to kill them?
Castiel: Roughly. Yes.
Crowley: As do I. I was bloody one of them. And Sam and Dean, they're like herpes. Just when you think they're gone 'Hello' the boys are back leaving a trail of bodies in their wake. So wherever they are, whoever has Sam and Dean. In the immortal words of Laurence Tureaud, 'I pity the fool.'

Dean Winchester: What we have here is a failure to communicate. We're not trapped out here with you, you're trapped out here with us.
The first sentence is a reference to the movie Cool Hand Luke. The second sentence is a reference to this quote from Watchmen by the vigilante Rorschach after being sent to prison:
"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!"

Minutiae

This was Supernatural's 250th episode
Sanchez: They made the FBI's Most Wanted in 2011, then died in a shoot-out with police in Ankeny, Iowa, at least that's what their file said. But apparently not.
Reference to 7.06 Slash Fiction, where Sam and Dean's Leviathan doppelgängers were used to fake their deaths.
