Quotes
Kelly: He's gonna kill me.
Dagon: Yeah. And he's not gonna stop there. Every sad, weak human, every tight-ass angel, every sniveling demon... they'll all be consumed. So go ahead. Play your games. But whether you're healthy or sick, filthy or clean, he will be born. Good times. But until then... Do us both a favor? Take a bath.
Dagon: Yeah. And he's not gonna stop there. Every sad, weak human, every tight-ass angel, every sniveling demon... they'll all be consumed. So go ahead. Play your games. But whether you're healthy or sick, filthy or clean, he will be born. Good times. But until then... Do us both a favor? Take a bath.
Castiel: Dean, I just keep failing. Again and again. When you were taken, I searched for months and I couldn't find you. And then Kelly escaped on my watch, and I couldn't find her. And I just wanted... I needed to come back here with a win for you. For myself.
Dean: You think you're the only one rolling snake eyes here? Me and Sam, we had her. We had Kelly and we lost her.
Dean: You think you're the only one rolling snake eyes here? Me and Sam, we had her. We had Kelly and we lost her.
Kelvin: You're doing the right thing, you know. Committing to Joshua's plan, putting angelkind above the Winchesters. I mean, your reputation in Heaven is-
Castiel: This has nothing to do with my reputation. I am doing this for the Winchesters. I-I stole the Colt to keep them out of this mission and to keep them safe from Dagon, and I... I will kill this girl so that Sam and Dean don't have to.
Castiel: This has nothing to do with my reputation. I am doing this for the Winchesters. I-I stole the Colt to keep them out of this mission and to keep them safe from Dagon, and I... I will kill this girl so that Sam and Dean don't have to.
Dean: Well, I say we find him and we kick his feathered ass.
Sam: Dean, Cas wouldn't have taken the Colt if he wasn't going up against something big.
Lucifer: Here's another promise for you -- find my boy, or the torments I will visit upon you will be infinite. Promise. You make this right, Dagon. Make it right.
Castiel: No human form can step through that gate and survive. Your souls will ascend to Heaven, and every cell of your beings will return to the universe. I am sorry, Kelly. It's the son of Lucifer... this is a human/archangel hybrid. That power... it's beyond comprehension. Your child could bring the universe to its knees.
Kelly: Or lift it to its feet. This baby, nothing is born evil.
Kelly: Or lift it to its feet. This baby, nothing is born evil.
Castiel: No, it isn't. I used to believe in a plan. I used to believe that I had some mission. But I have been through enough now to know that everyone is just winging it. Some of us quite badly. Lucifer... he's just breaking toys. He's sowing destruction and chaos, and there is no grand purpose at work. And there's no special role for you. When Lucifer took over Rooney's body... I'm sorry. You were just there.
Sam: Hey, Kelly. Kelly. Hey, wait, wait. Wait a second, look. We-we can't imagine what you've been through, okay? But we promised to find another way, and we did. We found a better way. This can work.
Kelly: I'm going with Castiel.
Sam: How did this happen?
Dean: What? The lying? The Heaven plan? Or the fact that I'm working on this stupid truck?
Sam: No, I mean, what's wrong with Cas?
Dean: Are you okay?
Castiel: I am. I've been so lost. I'm not lost anymore. And I know now that this child must be born with all of his power.
Sam: You can't actually mean that.
