Quotes
Dean: Two hearts ripped out six months apart? That's got to be a ritual, man. Or at least some sort of heart-sucking, possessed satanic crack whore bat.
Dean: Where the hell are we?
Sam: Farmer's market. Organic.
Sam: Farmer's market. Organic.
Dean: Wait, I bought a translation app!
Sam: You bought an app?
Sam: You bought an app?
Dean: I know when I am at my best. And that is right here, driving down crazy street, next to you.
Sam: Makes sense.
Dean: Yes it does.
Sam: Or maybe you don't need me,. Maybe you're at your best hacking and slicing your way through all the world's crap alone. Not having to explain yourself to anybody.
Eleanor: In that time, Brick himself had changed - inside. He wasn't just the warrior who's only reason for living was combat. We were deeply, deeply in love.
Trivia & References
This is the third episode Jensen has directed. He also directed 6.04 Weekend At Bobby's and 7.03 The Girl Next Door. It was shot before the two previous episodes in order to allow Jensen time for preparation. The episode started shooting on 9th July, 2012. For more information see Jensen Directing.
This is the second episode of Supernatural Alan Ackles has been in. He was the voice of the newscaster in 6.04 Weekend At Bobby's. Jensen's mother Donna Ackles also appeared as an extra in the episode pic here.Jensen's sister Mackenzie has also appeared in 2 episodes - 2.03 Bloodlust and 7.06 Slash Fiction.
Sam uses the alias detective Sambora, after the lead guitarist Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi.
The scene where Arthur carves out his eye was filmed, but deemed too gory for Network TV source.
When Sam and Dean find Brick Holmes secret trophy room, Sam notes he has a cricket "mallet". The correct term is cricket bat.
Randa: Then I had the surgery. I became Xena, freaking Warrior princess.
It is appropriate that Randa is a stripper because the Mayan God of Maize, jade and cacao was also the patron of dancing. source.
Sam remembers a birthday picnic with Amelia. His birthday is on May 2. It is not clear what year this would be. In the show, a year in time went by between seasons 5 and 6 yet the show didn't move a year forward in "real time". Likewise it appears that while there was another year that passed between seasons 6 and 7, it still appears to be 2012 (although this is unconfirmed). Whatever, considering skipped years and time in hell, it's pretty hard to work out how many candles you'd put on a Winchester birthday cake.
Minutiae
The strip club - called "The Bunny Hole" is actually a real strip club called The Paramount located in new Westminster, Vancouver.
