Quotes
Cosmic Entity: Become the new God. Classic narcissist, right? She's all tingly for the rules, the good old days.
Sam: What is that supposed to mean?
Sam: No, no, no. Cas, we can't let that happen. We have to stop it.
Castiel: Wait, Death wants to become God?
Chuck: What part of omniscient do you people not understand? So I can't read my Death book. So what? I control space and time. Just plant a few visions, goad Death a little... mess with a few outcomes. And... bada-bing. I mean... They think they can kill me?
Sam: I know you feel like that right now, I know you do. But you gotta trust me. My entire life, you've protected me -- from Dad, from Lucifer, from everything. I didn't always like it, you know, but... it's the one thing in the whole world that I could always count on. It's the only thing I've ever known that was true. So please... put the gun away. Just put it away, and we'll figure it out Dean, we'll find another way, you and me. We always do.
Castiel: Where's Amara?
Chuck: Amara. Amara. She's in here somewhere.
Castiel: What, you consumed your sister?
Chuck: We came to an understanding, so spare me your contempt Castiel, the self-hating angel of Thursday. You know what every other version of you did after "gripping him tight and raising him from Perdition?" They did what they were told. But not you. Not the "one off the line with a crack in his chassis." All of you. You know, I tried and I tried and I tried, but you're all just too stupid, too stubborn. Too broken. You know what? I'm over it. I'm over you.
Sam: Yeah? Good.
Dean: Screw you, Chuck.
Chuck: No, screw you. You know what you do with broken toys? You throw them out. So, kill each other, don't kill each other -- I don't care.
Castiel: What do you mean?
Trivia & References
- "Mortal traveller, beware, know that the keys of death weigh heavily. However, if you desire, to enter in the dark bottomless depths, you need a gateway."
- Skittles are a small fruit-flavoured candy which comes in a range of colours. The brand's tagline is "taste the rainbow."
- Serafina describing Jack's aura as being like Skittles is similar to what the psychic Oliver Pryce told Castiel, that he was only getting "colors" from him in 10.17 Inside Man.
Adam: Oh no, I've been wanting this for going on 300,000 years. Took me that long to figure out how to do it too.
- Recent discoveries point to the earliest appearance of homosapiens as having been around 300,000 years ago.
Adam: Right on. At least He should be.
- Adam and Jack discuss the concept of pantheism: The belief that all things in existence compose an all-encompassing God.
- Adam gives Jack one of his ribs to complete the spell he designed to kill Chuck. In Jewish folklore, when Lilith, Adam's first wife born from the same clay, refused to be subservient to him, God fashioned Eve from one of Adam's ribs.
Minutiae
Adam: It was a quince, but yeah.
- In 10.23 Brother's Keeper we first learned from Crowley that the forbidden fruit was a quince and not an apple. He recovered the same quince from a Palestinian warlock as part of the spell to remove the Mark of Cain
- The Entity had previously told Castiel that not even God held power in the Empty in 13.04 The Big Empty. The fact that it was actually "sweet little lies" finally explains how God has been able to resurrect Castiel and Lilith despite the Entity's claims.
- The "gripped you tight" line is Chuck is paraphrasing Castiel in 4.01 Lazarus Rising about saving Dean. Chuck's line about Castiel being "the one off the line with the crack in his chassis" recalls Naomi's line to Castiel in 8.21 The Great Escapist
