Quotes
Dean: Well, it couldn't hurt. And I don't know how much more of this "normal life" crap I can take, between the credit cards, the car trouble, the constant freaking heartburn.
Dean: Or it could be awesome.
It's pool. The-the-the game of champions, kings. My game. Hell, our game. How many honest-to-goodness great memories do we have hustling pool?
Sam: What? When you were 4? Really? What, between nap time and snack?
Dean: Well, my name's Dean Winchester. And I'm gonna kick your ass.
Kabriel: Who told you that?
Sam: Accursed by God.
Fortuna: Life's a bitch, then you die.
Dean: The God literally cursed us.
Fortuna: You've met?
Dean: Yeah. Little guy, squirrelly as hell.
Dean: Why?
Evie: Because of you. She said she thought your kind had gone extinct.
Sam: Our kind?
Sam: Jack?
Dean: Why not?
Jack: Because if I don't stay hidden, if I use my powers, my grandfather he'll know I'm back, and he'll try and kill me again.
He's afraid of me. And that's why we had to wait.
Castiel: Billie kept him hidden in the Empty until Chuck went off-world.
Jack: She let me out when it was safe.
Dean: Safe to what? Eat a bunch of angel hearts?
Trivia & References
Waitress: Um, a slice of pie and a cup of coffee?
Dean: Two forks? Damn it, I was hoping for a cheeseburger.
Sam: You can't even digest cheese anymore.
Dean: Dude. Lactaid.
- Lactaid is a brand of pills containing the enzyme lactase. People who are lactose-intolerant (like poor powered-down Dean) can ingest lactase immediately before a meal containing dairy to avoid unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects.
Dean: Nuts is good. Yeah. A couple of Mr. Freakin' Peanuts here.
- Mr Peanut was the top hat- and monocle-wearing peanut that was the mascot of the Planters snack food company. Coincidentally, just before the episode aired, a teaser for an upcoming SuperBowl ad suggested that Mr Peanut may die.
Sam: I don't remember.
Dean: It was Dad's favorite, from the movie. Paul Newman. "The Hustler."
Sam: Alright, fine. One more game. One.
Dean: Okay. Now we just gotta find our Jackie Gleason.
- The Hustler is a 1963 film about pool hustling starring Paul Newman as "Fast Eddie" Felson, a small time hustler who seeks out legendary pool player "Minnesota Fats" (played by Jackie Gleason).
Dean: Beach read? Lady, I'm Tolstoy.
- A beach read is a fun, easy, light novel to read while on vacation. Leo Tolstoy was a 19th-century Russian novelist and philosopher, often cited as one of the greatest novelists of all time.
Minutiae
Dean: Like the rabbit's foot?
Sam: When you win, you're you're taking luck from whoever you beat, right?
- A reference to the cursed rabbit's foot from 3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock.
