Quotes

Dean: When you get down to it, what's the big deal? Right, I mean sure there's the touching, and the feeling all of each other. My hands everywhere, feeling every inch of her body. The two of us moving together. Pressing, pulling, grinding. Then you hit that sweet spot, then everything just ...builds, and builds and builds until it all just...
Sam: Okay, so we have missing church folk and superstrength. Maybe angels harvesting vessels, could be a Buddy Boyle-type thing.

Jody: Wait... angels? You're joking!

Dean: Don't get your pants on fire. They suck.
Dean: So you just hit the virginity do-over button and all is good with the man upstairs?
Tammy: Sex is a racquet, and God’s ball is in your court.
Sam: So dragons are off the list.

Jody: Dragons? Those are a thing?

Sam: Yeah. Too many things are things.
Sam: Wait - did you get "born again"?

Jody: Oh Sam, I don't make promises I can't keep. I just enjoy... after Bobby, after Crowley, I was looking for comfort I guess.
Sam: I guess we're all looking for that.

Jody: Except those that got it. C'mon - you and Dean, that's something special, don't you think?
Dean: The scene with the tacos, it made me want to join a mariachi band just to be near you.
Suzy: You're not like... the other guys in town, are you? You're kind of a... bad boy.

Dean: I don't know. Why don't you ask me that in Spanish?
Suzy: ¿Eres un chico malo?

Dean: Si.
