Quotes

Dean: You know what miracles are called from demons? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's not miracles.

Sam: How about this? Let's just hear the guy out.

Dean: Alright. And after that we kill him.
Barthamus: I'm a crossroads demon, Sam. After Crowley's promotion to King of Hell, the crossroads demon, helping people is what I do. My raison d'etre.
Dean: You see here's the thing. When a demon asks us to jump, we don't say 'how high.' We just ice their ass.
Barthamus: How very Dean of you.
Dean: Sammy, you know that these things usually don't go out way.
Sam: It doesn't matter. Jack is out there, in the world. And he's alone, and he's scared, and he's dangerous. And if this is out chance to find him, we have to take it.
Dean: All right. Well, I've seen this movie a thousand times. Some asshat, who's too fancy to get his hands dirty. Plans a job, swears it will all go smooth and it does. Until 'bang' and everything goes screaming off the rails, and it's our asses. You know he's going to screw us over first chance he gets.

Sam: Not if we screw him over first. Listen, we want that spell, right? I mean we need that spell and we definitely don't want Asmodeus getting his hands on it. So, let's do this. Have him hand over the other half of the spell.
Dean: And then?

Sam: And then it's like you said. We kill him.
Sam: Dean. Don't get dead.
Dean: You too.
Dean: I mean there can be anything in there. Anything. Like There could be spiders, spiny blade things, snakes. Spiders. You don't even know, do you? Great. I -- how about this? What if I cut myself and put it on a piece of paper and we just wad it up and throw it in.
Barthamus: Let me see if I understand. You two do-gooding idiots are willing to welch on our deal. Throw away the only chance you have at finding your boy, because I killed a 200-year-old blackmailing piece of garbage, is that it?
Dean: Yeah, that. And we just don't like you.

Trivia & References

The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable about the nature of creatures, where a scorpion asks a frog to ferry it across a river. The scorpion promises the frog it will not sting it, rationalizing doing so would mean they would both drown. As the frog is taking the scorpion across the river, the scorpion stings the frog. Before the frog dies, it asks the scorpion why it stung him? The scorpion simply replied that it was in its nature to do so.
Dean: Ah, so what are we talking? Your favorite My Little Pony.
Sam: It's, uh, John Dortmunder. We emailed about my family heirloom.
John Dortmunder is the name of a fictional character in the novels of Donald Westlake. He is a criminal whose careful plans usually go awry.
Dean: Hey, Winona. '90s called, they'd like their shoes back.
Luther: Ever see a fang of the basilisk?

Sam: Actually, that's not, um... So, who ever sold this to you had it wrong, um, basilisk fangs are hollow. This is actually a gorgon tooth. Still really cool though. You know I would love to see more of your collection.

Dean: It was supposed to be a safe. Not some dollar store Indiana Jones crap.
Dean: Well, looks like gun beats knife. So, how about you hand over the safe and we'll all be home in time to watch Game of Thrones.
Sam: Wing it? Dean, these aren't like the lasers in Entrapment. They're infinite possible combinations and pressure released darts.

Dean: Did you just say Entrapment?
Sam: I don't know? I mean I don't watch a whole lot of those kind of movies.
Dean: Yeah, but you saw Entrapment?
Sam: ...Catherine Zeta Jones.

Dean: Whoa. Look who decided to show. Why'd you cottontail?
