Quotes
Dean: Wait. Sorry what?
Sam: Strip... club. There's one just outside of town, the, um, Clam Diver.
Dean: You wanna go to the Clam Diver?
Sam: Yeah, it got great reviews.
Dean: You read reviews for the Clam Diver?
Sam: Look you're not, Dean. You said you don't believe in anything, and -- and that's not true, that's not you. You do believe in things, you believe in people. That's who you are, that's what you do. I know you're in a dark place and I just want to help.
Dean: Okay. Look, I've been down this road before and I fought my way back, I will fight my way back again.
Sam: How?
Billie: This Universe can be so many things, and sometimes it is poetic. That's why we need to talk.
Billie: Because I do. Because this whole multiversal, quantum construct we live in. It's like a house of cards and the last thing I need is some big, dumb Winchester knocking it all down.
Billie: Don't you?
Dean: I couldn't save Mom. I couldn't save Cas. I can't even save a scared little kid. Sam keeps trying to fix it, but I just keep dragging him down. So I'm not gonna beg, okay. If it's my time, it's my time.
Billie: You really believe that. You wanna die. Dean every note book on this particular shelf tells a version of how you die. You specifically. Heart attack, burned by a red-haired witch, stabbed by a ghoul in a graveyard and on and on. But which one's right? That depends on you. On the choices you make.
Dean: Why?
Dean: No. Sam I'm not okay, I'm pretty far from okay. You know my whole life, I always believed that what we do WAs important. No matter what the cost, no matter who we lost. Whether it was Dad or Bobby or... and I would take the hit. But I kept on fighting because I believed that we were making the world a better place. And now Mom and Cas and I -- I don't know. I don't know.
Sam: So you don't believe anymore.
Trivia & References
Sam: He's, uh, he's catching up on all my old fantasy DVDs. Red Sonja, Beastmaster, uh Beastmaster 2, you know the one with the time travelling ferrets.
Dean: How you ever got laid, I'll never know.
Sam: It's a plague mask, doctors used to use them they thought they filtered out disease. As a matter of fact, when they arrested Meadows he was wearing one and they had to hold him down to rip it off.
Billie: How's that working out for him? It's funny to hear a Winchester talk about the finality of dying. This realty, it has rules, Dean. So many rules. And one of them: kill one incarnation of Death, like you did. The next reaper to die, takes his place. So, when Castiel stabbed me in the back, turns out I got a promotion. New job. New gear.
- Billie taking on Death's mantle is a slight twist on the plot to the 1983 fantasy novel On a Pale Horse, in which the main character, Zane, kills Death and is forced to take the mantle on himself.
Billie: A little rip? Into another world and you went there?
Dean: Yeah, I'll just say it's, uh, it's not Candy Land.
