Quotes

Asmodeus: I am Asmodeus.

Drexel: Fourth Prince of Hell.

Asmodeus: Here to rule until such time until Lucifer returns with his son, and there's gonna be some changes. The underperforming and ineffective, the corporate lackeys of the Crowley era are being purged. The grand ol' days of fire and brimstone are back. The following will step forward: Mr. Drexel, Mr. Harrington, Mr. Sierra. As for the rest of ya'll... There's a new sheriff in town.
Sam: Hey, we still got probably twelve hours until we're home. Do you want me to drive?
Dean: Do I ever want you to drive?
Dean: Wait, wait, wait, wait. How old do you think you are?
Jack: Three days, seventeen hours, and forty-two minutes.
Sam: I tell you what, you got some special skills Jack. That's for sure. You just need to make sure to get a grip on them, so -- so you don't hurt anybody.

Jack: Is that why Dean hates me?
Sam: Dean doesn't hate you. It -- look sometimes the wires in Dean's head get crossed, and -- and he gets frustrated, and then he mixes frustration with anger and -- and fear.
Jack: Why would he be afraid.
Sam: Because Dean feels like it's his job to protect everyone, and right now we need to protect you. But we also we may need to protect people from you.
Jack: Maybe I'm not worth all this.

Sam: Your mom thought you were. So did Cas. So do I
Lucifer: You're welcome. Ah, Mary in case you didn't notice it, but you left without me. What is wrong with you, we need each other. This is a win-win situation. Okay? We get out of this theme park and we get our boys back.
Mary: You think I want you to win?
Sam: Alright, you know what? I know what's going on here.

Dean: Oh, okay. Please tell me what's going on here?

Sam: You. Thinking that Mom is gone and Cas is gone and that Jack can't be saved. Dean, after everything we've gone through, we just lost people we love. People who have been in our lives a long time, everything's upside down. I get it. But we've been down before, I mean rock bottom. But we find a way and fix it, because that's what we do. And Jack wants to do the right thing, Jack's scared to death of who he is and he's scared of you.
Lucifer: Are you tired? Really? You know what? Let me tell you a couple of things. First of all we need to blow this taco stand, before who knows what happens to my son. And second of all, you're the reason we're even stuck in this literally God forsaken place to begin with, so I'm sorry you're tired. It's not my fault you were born a wimpy little human, with your wimpy little lungs and wimpy little legs.
Michael: You are Lucifer. I can feel it. But how is that even possible?

Lucifer: You know alternate universes, inter-dimensional travel, blah, blah, blah. It's her fault. I buy that you're Michael. But you sorta seem like a cheap knockoff to the one I left behind. And he's a hot mess.

Michael: I killed my Lucifer. Tore him apart in the skies over Abilene. But hey, can't get enough of a good thing.
Sam: Dean wait a second. The kid came through for us today. Jack saved us.
Dean: No. No, whatever that was, that was reflex. That was a sneeze. Maybe the next time he sneezes, he kills us.
Dean: Okay, what the hell? Gimme that. Don't be an idiot? Look, A, this isn't going to do anything to you, okay? And B, what the hell?

Jack: Exactly. What the hell am I? I can't control... whatever this is. I will hurt someone.
Dean: You know my brother thinks you can be saved.
Jack: You don't believe that.
Dean: No, I don't.
Jack: So, if you're right?

Dean: If I'm right, and it comes to killing you. I'll be the one to do it.

Trivia & References

Drexel: Lord Lucifer promised he would return. He'll pull us out of chaos. He will make Hell great again.
Asmodeus: Long ago. Eager to please, I freed the shedim.
In Jewish folklore, the shedim are considered demons or evil spirits. They are believed to either be the decedents of serpent-like demons, and in one legend they are thought to have meant to have been the first humans, whom God did not complete due to needing to rest on the Sabbath.
The episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! that Jack was watching was "That Snow Ghost".
Jack first opens the Bible to the Song of Solomon.
Jack: This book, it mentions my Father. Not Castiel, but Lucifer.

Dean: Oh, yeah. He's big in the Bible, lot of screen time.
Jack: And you knew him?
Sam: He's not really an easy guy to know, he's rough around the edges.
Dean: He's Satan.

Lucifer appears most famously in Isaiah 14:12, where a translation using the Latin Vulgate, took the phrase "morning star" and subbed it with "lucifer."
"How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.' But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: 'Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?'"
It is believed by modern scholars that the the "morning star" was not referencing a fallen angel, rather an unnamed king of Babylon.
Sam: You okay?

Donatello: Pretty much. No soul of course, thanks to Amara. It's kinda like losing your appendix. You never really noticed it when you had it. But now when I come to a moral crossroad, I ask myself, 'what would Mr. Rogers do?' And as soon as I nail that, I'm usually good.

"Mr Rogers" refers to Fred Rogers the kindly, good host of the children's show Mister Roger's Neighborhood.
Donatello: Ah, the nature versus nurture conundrum. Speaking not as prophet, but as a scientist. I don't think teaching him is in the cards. It's like asking a lion not to be a lion.

Sam: But this isn't a lion! This is a human!
Donatello: With a strong dose of God juice.
Dean: Okay, that's it I'm done. Because he's not God, he's not Cas, he' not Simba. He's the freakin' Devil.

The nature versus nurture conundrum" refers to the consideration as to whether aspects of a person's character are primarily shaped by their genetics (nature) or the environment of their upbringing (nurture).
Simba is a chacrter from the Disney story "The Lion King". Simba is the son of the King of the Lions, and destined to become King himself.
Lucifer: Was he kidding? Even in the land of bizarro, an angel isn't gonna try to...
"Land of the bizarroo" refers to Apocalypse World. The term originated in Superman comics but has since become widely used for an alternate universe that is similar but different in some significant way to our world.
Sam: These yellow-eyed things just keep on coming, huh?

Dean: Mmhmm. Yeah, hopefully this fourth Prince of Hell is the last Kardashian of the family.

The Kardashians are a family who became famous through a long running reality TV series based around them.
