Music
In the flashback in Purgatory, Benny whistles "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" from the Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Grieg. According to director Guy Bee, this was an homage to the Fritz Lang Movie "M", where the killer played by Peter Lorre whistles the same tune.
Quotes
Benny: And this is the crazy aunt I want to take on the road?
Castiel: I am not your aunt.
Benny: What? Really?
Castiel: I have no possible relationship to your sibling offspring.
Benny: Now you're kidding me.
Amelia: I think it's creepy that you buy all of your clothing at army surplus. White supremacists do that.
Sam: Yeah, but I'm not.
Amelia: Drifting serial killers do that.
Sam: What does that mean - personal?
Benny: You and that whole friend thing, man.
Benny: You know all the years we ran together, I can't believe nobody ever thought of that.
Dean: What do you mean? it's like the third thing you say?
Benny: A little dark.
Trivia & References
