Quotes
Sam: What?
Dean: Yeah, she's got this blog. Yeah, you know what? Your kids aren't that cute. And that gluten-free popover looks like crap because there's no gluten in it. I'll stop talking.
Castiel: Seems like an odd stance for... you.
Dean: And whose fault is that?
Chuck: Yeah. I mean, you're my favorite show.
Chuck: Okay, Dean, no offense, but your brother is stupid and crazy. And that kid is still dangerous. So pick up the gun. Pick it up... pull the trigger... and I'll bring her back. Your mom.
Dean: No. No. My mom was my hero. And I miss her, and I will miss her every second of my life, but she would not want this. And it's not like you even really care. 'Cause Sam's right. The Apocalypse, the first go-around, with Lucifer and Michael -- you knew everything that was going on, so why the games, Chuck, huh? Why don't you just snap your fingers and end it?!
Billie: Yeah, about that. We should talk.
Trivia & References
Sam: Takes one to know one.
Dean: What?
Sam: You. Come on, man. You're always calling me a geek, but you know every word to every Led Zeppelin song -- backwards and forwards -- you can discuss in detail every major rock drummer between '67 and '84 and... You watch "Jeopardy!" every night.
Dean: Okay. All right. Yeah. But I'm nothing like these, you know, gaggle of Zuckerbergs.
Man #2: I know. Kinda into it.
- A reference to the fetish known as cuckoldry or "wife watching."
Sam: What? You...
Dean: Look, I know you say it's Elvis, but we both know that's crap, so tell me who your favorite singer is.
Sam: Well, it's like you said, it's Celine Dion. I mean Celine Dion. It's Celi-- Dean, every time I try and say "Elvis," it comes out --
Dean: The sad, horrible truth.
- We have previously known little of Sam's musical tastes except that a song by Jason Manns was playing on his iPod in 4.01 Lazarus Rising, and his enjoyment of '80s hair bands such as Bon Jovi and Vince Vincente and Ladyheart. This is the first time we hear that he claims rocker Elvis Presely as his favorite singer. Celine Dion is a Canadian singer. Her song "My Heart Will Go On" featured in the episode of the same name.
- A reference to current events of 2019 with President Donald Trump who was also referenced by Sam in 13.23 Let the Good Times Roll. While unable to lie, President Trump apparently reveals the truth about his contested tax returns, his ties to Russia and North Korea and that he made a deal with Crowley. However, Chuck erasing everything done under Jack's truth compulsion means that only Sam and Dean remember this.
- Deu Ex machina literally translates as "God in the machine" and refers to a narrative device whereby there is an unexpected, and often contrived, resolution to a plot.
Chuck: I'm thinking of calling it... the Equalizer! Or... the Hammurabi. No? All right, cool. That's cool. Cool.
- Hammurabi was the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, reigning from 1792 BCE to 1750 BCE. He is known for codifying lawswith an empahsis on the physical punishment for perpetrators of crimes, rather than the compensation of victims.
- The story of Abraham and Isaac is from the Hebrew Bible and features in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. In the biblical narrative, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Moriah. Abraham undertakes to do the deed, but is interrupted by an Angel. He then sees a ram caught in a bush and sacrifices it instead.
