Quotes

Meg: Aren't you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?
Meg: Do I look like Google to you?
Castiel: You know, I can hear you both. I am a celestial being.
Meg: (to Sam) You know, I get why Crowley calls you Moose, now.
Meg: I miss the simplicity — I was bad, you were good, life was easier. Now it’s all so messy. I’m kinda good, which sucks. You’re kind of bad, which is kind of all manner of hot. We survive this, I’m gonna order some pizza and we’re gonna move some furniture around. You understand?
Dean: This isn’t you. Cas, I know you’re in there. I know you can hear me. Cas, it’s me. We’re family. We need you; I need you.
Meg: Hi, I'm Meg. I'm a demon.

Trivia & References

Goodbye Stranger is a reference to the song of the same name by British rock band Supertramp
Dean: Hey Doc Holliday, you alright over there.


Dean says this to Sam after he coughs up blood. Doc Holliday a gunfighter from the Old West and friend of Wyatt Earp, suffered from tuberculosis.
Meg: Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?


In Star Wars, Leia says this line to Luke Skywalker when he comes to rescue her. In the epsidoe the shot of Meg is framed as a mirror image of the shot of Leia in the movie.
Dean: So I have to ask — what’s up with the hair?

Meg: Crowley’s idea. Just another reason I want to stab him in the face.

Meg, in her current vessel, has always been brunette until she appears as blonde in this episode.
Castiel: I still don’t know who Clarence is.
The demon Meg refers to Castiel as Clarence in a reference to the angel in the movie It's a Wonderful Life.
Meg: “You remember everything?

Cas: “If you’re referring to the pizza man, yes I remember the pizza man. And it’s a good memory.

In 6.10 Caged Heat Castiel watches a porn movie featuring the classic porn trope commonly known as Pizza Boy Special Delivery. He later kisses Meg, claiming he "learned it from the pizza man".
Dean: You really think we can trust Megstiel?


Megstiel is the fandom mashup name to describe fanworks featuring Meg and Castiel in a romantic and/or sexual relationship.
Dean: Listen, I amy not be able to carry the burden that comes with these trials, but I can carry you.

Sam: You realise you just kinda quoted "Lord of the Rings" right?
Dean: C'mon man, it's the Rudy-hobbit. Rudy hobbit always gets a pass!

In Lord of the Rings third movie "The Return of the King" Sam Gamgee (played by Sean Astin) says to Frodo " I cannot carry the ring, but I can carry you Mr. Frodo." Sean Astin played the eponymous hero in the movie Rudy, about a young man who overcomes obstacles to become a football hero. Basically a guy version of a chick flick.
