Quotes
Sam: Yeah. I've been better, and worse. You?
Castiel: I'm just sorry I should never have gone to those demons.
Castiel: Oh, Jack, that's just not true. You got me. You have all of us. You have your family. And we are going to find Dean, and we are going to beat Michael and we are going to do it together. Because that's what we do.

- "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life."

Sam: I don't care.
Sam: Ketch. He's in London searching for the Newton Dee Hyperbolic Pulse Generator.
Castiel: The what?
Sam: It's a magic egg that kicked Lucifer out of the president, I thought we could use it on Michael, but Ketch can't find it so it's another dead end. So, that's just awesome.
