Quotes
Castiel: No, I. Dean told me to go, the woman-
Mary: The one you lost!?
Castiel: I didn't... I thought she-
Castiel: Six weeks, two days and ten hours.
Mary: No.
Castiel: The women with their throats ripped out and blood drained.
Mary: Vampire.
Castiel: I don't know. We may want back up. Crowley, Rowena.
Castiel: Well, that is accurate.
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?
Dean: We were already dead. Being locked in that cell, with nothing. I've been to Hell, this was worse.
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.
Mary: I'm listening.
Trivia & References
Crowley: I do. But whatever's happened to Moose and Squirrel, apparently it's above their pay grade.
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 Lawrence Tureaud, 'I pity the fool.'
- Lawrence Tureaud is the birth name of Mr. T, who is famous for his catch phrase, "I pity the fool."
- 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
- Reference to 7.06 Slash Fiction, where Sam and Dean's Leviathan doppelgängers were used to fake their deaths.
