Quotes
Sam: That -- that -- that -- that's, uh, that's...
Dean: That's the Mystery Machine. We're not just in any cartoon.
Dean: Not just any talking dog, the talking dog. The greatest talking dog in history. Now come on! Dibs on Daphne.
Sam: Your dream is hang out with the Scooby Gang?
Dean: Sam, growing up on the road, no matter where Dad dragged us, no matter what we did, there was always a TV. And you know what was always on that TV? Scooby and the gang. These guys, they're our friggin' role models, man. Except Fred, he's a wad.
Sam: He's... What?
Dean: Just think about it -- we do the same thing. We go to spooky places, we solve mysteries, we fight ghosts.
Sam: Yeah, except our ghosts don't wear masks, and we don't have a talking dog.
Dean: It doesn't matter if we die. Scooby-Doo could die! And that's not happening, not on my watch. I'd take a bullet for that dog.
Velma: Huh?
Sam: My brother and I, we hunt them, along with werewolves and vampires and demons and... We've saved the world. A lot.
Velma: Look, Sam, the simple fact is monsters are nothing more than crooks in masks -- usually unscrupulous real estate developers.
Dean: that's the truth.
Velma: So everything you told me, it's true?
Sam: Mm-hmm
Velma: Werewolves, vampires, demons? I thought I was blind without my glasses, but I was just blind. Oh, how could I be so stupid?
Sam: Uh, well, I mean...
Fred: We've been stopping real estate developers when we could have been hunting Dracula? Are you kidding me? My life is meaningless!
Daphne: If there are ghosts... that means there's an afterlife. Heaven. Hell. Am I going to Hell?!
Shaggy: We told you every freaking time. But did you ever listen to Scoob and me? No!
Dean: Thank you, Fred.
Fred: But we can help. We have to.
Dean: That was the coolest thing that's ever happened to me. And that includes the Cartwright twins.
Castiel: What did you do with the Cartwright twins?
Dean: Oh, heh... I'll be right back.
Jay: It's not fair. I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids.
Dean: He said it! He said the line! Scooby Dooby Do!
Sam: What are you doing?
Dean: Well, I mean at the end of every mystery, Scooby looks at the camera and says--
Castiel: Dean, you're not a talking dog.
Trivia & References
Dean: Yeah, never buy anything from Moosylvania.
- Moosylvania is a fictional island that served as a plot device in the animated show The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.
Dean: Killing Barney?
- Barney is the purple anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex star of the PBS series Barney & Friends.
- Dean is referencing Queen Elsa of Arendelle from the film Frozen, who sang the song "Let It Go" in the film.
- "Dean-cave" and "Fortress of Dean-a-tude" are both reference to the secret lairs of Batman and Superman, respectively known as the Batcave and the Fortress of Solitude. Using the Fortress of Solitude to nickname his man cave is also a reference to the famous comedy sitcom How I Met Your Mother where one of the main characters Barney Stinson calls his apartment the "Fortress of Barn-itude".
Dean: How dare you!
Sam: And hitting on Daphne, when she's clearly with Fred.
Dean: She's is settling, all right? Oh, Daphne could do so much better.
- Marmaduke is the star of the eponymous Sunday morning comic strip. Like Scooby-Doo he is a Great Dane, though nobody can tell him what to do.
- While Colonel Sanders is the founder of the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain. The character in the original episode was named Col. Beauregard Sanders. This may also be a possible reference to Asmodeus who the fandom calls Evil Colonel Sanders.
Daphne: Jeepers!
Shaggy: Zoinks!
Scooby: Ruh-roh!
Dean: Son of a bitch!
- The Scooby Gang and Dean each speak their catch phrases.

- Philistine is a derogatory term for an uncultured person.
- The same lines were spoken by Lois Lane in 1978's Superman when she was rescued by Superman after falling from a helicopter. Watch the scene here.
Shaggy: What? That's not -- I have jumped out of a biplane in a museum and was fine! How did this happen?
- Shaggy is describing an incident from the first Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? episode "What a Night for a Knight".
Sam: The Space Kook.
Dean: I knew it! You love this show, too. Space Kook. Ghost Clown. Miner 49er. You guys have all jumped into danger with no thought to yourselves. You're heroes, and together, we're gonna take down this phantom. Are you with me?
- Zeke and Zeb appeared in "Which Witch Is Which?, Old Iron Face appeared in "The Creepy Case of Old Iron Face", the Black Night appeared in "What a Night for a Knight", Mamba Wamba appeared in Mamba Wamba and the Voodoo Hoodoo, the Space Kook appeared in "Spooky Space Kook", Ghost Clown appeared in Bedlam in the Big Top", and Miner 49er appeared in Mine Your Own Business".

Minutiae
Dean: Or maybe this is just an angel thing. Or -- or the Trickster.
Sam: No, he's dead.
Dean: Or is he?
- A meta reference to the fandom's divided beliefs on whether Gabriel was actually killed by Lucifer in 5.19 Hammer of the Gods, which was further fanned in 9.18 Meta Fiction as well as the fact that Gabriel was shown to be alive in 13.13 Devil's Bargain as a prisoner of Asmodeus.
- Reference to 5.08 Changing Channels.
Dean: Yeah, creepy ghost kid. You get used to 'em.
