Quotes
Sam: This... this is a phone and a camera and... everything else.
Sam: Um... we don't really know yet.
Sandy: And... and how are you so calm about the fact that... I'm still alive?
Ketch: Ingredients? Such as?
Asmodeus: Well, if they got the spell from the Demon Tablet, which they did -- some blood, few other things, and a whole mess of archangel grace.
Ketch: Ah. And here you are, pumping it into your veins.
Dean: Yeah, and she's been down in a basement for 90 years. How does she look the way she does? And this doesn't sound like the Men of Letters either. I mean, they're boring. They wear tweed. They smoke from pipes. They -- they... they don't kidnap people.
Dean: Kale's a garnish.
Sam: It's healthy. I'm watching my cholesterol, like you should be.
Sam: How?
Marco: Summon a god from another dimension and start over.
Ophelia: 'Upon us we shall call forth new gods, Yokoth and her mate Glythur. And they will cleanse this world of hate and bring a new paradise.'
Marco: They summoned Yokoth, but... didn't exactly bring paradise.
Ophelia: It ate Diego and most everyone else. Then it tried to summon its mate before they bound it.
Ketch: At least I still have a soul.
Asmodeus: What you think that buys you, huh? Souls are messy, all conflict and confusion.
Ketch: Well, I know who I am.
Yokoth: Sandy's dead. She's been dead for a long time.
Dean: Okay. I'll play. What's your name?
Yokoth: Yokoth. Star of Madness. Ravager of Galaxies. Mother of Faceless Hordes.
Dean: Considering I was about three seconds away from being an interdimensional booty call, yeah, I'd say I'm all right.
Dean: I don't care if he dies. Hell, I'm kind of rootin' for it.
Sam: Still, you can't --
Dean: No, I have to. It takes something that's been over there before to open up the right door, so that's either you or me. So I'm gonna go. And if something happens to me, if -- if -- if time runs out, then I need you to come and save me and save Mom and save whoever else, okay?
Sam: It's safer if we go together.

Minutiae
