Quotes

Sam: This isn't about what I said the other day, is it?

Dean: Oh, about how we're not supposed to be brothers? No, don't flatter yourself. I don't break that easy.
Sam: Good, 'cause I was just being honest.

Dean: Oh, yeah. No, I got that loud and clear.
Jim: When I gear up for a competition I eat lettuce. It stretches the stomach.
Dean: Yet another reason to stay away from salads.
Maritza: This isn't what you think. I'm not a killer.

Dean: Well, then what are you?
Maritza: I'm a pishtaco.

Dean: A fish taco?
Dean: About what you said the other day.

Sam: I thought it didn’t bother you.
Dean: You know Sam, I saved your hide back there. I saved your hide at that church — in the hospital. I may not think things all the way through but when I do, it’s because it’s the right thing. I’d do it again.
Sam: And that is the problem. You think you’re my savior, my brother, the hero. You swoop in and even when you mess up you think what you’re doing is worth it because you’ve convinced yourself you’re doing more good than bad... but you’re not. Kevin’s dead, Crowley’s in the wind, we’re no closer to beating this angel thing, please tell me, what is the upside to me being alive?
Dean: Are you kidding me? You and me, fighting the good fight together.
Sam: Just once be honest with me, you didn’t save me for me. You did it for you.
Dean: What are you talking about?
Sam: I was ready to die, I was ready. I should have died. But you, you didn’t want to be alone. That’s what this boils down to, you can’t stand the thought of being alone. I’ll give you this much, you are certainly willing do the sacrifice, as long as you’re not the one being hurt.
Dean: Alright, you want to be honest, if the situation was reversed, and I was dying, you’d do the same thing.

Sam: No Dean, I wouldn’t. Same circumstances, I wouldn’t. I’m heading to bed.

Trivia & References

"The Purge" in the episode title refers here to both the physical process to rid the body of toxins or waste often undertaken as part of extreme dieting, and the emotional process Sam and Dean are undergoing in their relationship.
Slim Jim: Like hell you did, Jabba! I saw you slip a hot dog in your pocket!
Jabba the Hutt is a crime lord based on Tatooine who is a character in the source. He is really really big.
Dean: How the hell do you know anything about yoga?

Sam: You’re not the only one who has dated someone bendy.

A reference to Lisa Braeden, whom Dean once had a "bendy" weekend with when he was younger.
Dean: I mean, what do we got ourselves? A "Thinner" sitch here?
Thinner is a Stephen King novel, written under the pseudonym Richard Bachmann, and later made into a movie, about a man who is cursed by a Romani woman to lose weight until he dies.
Dean: Yes, personal training brothers. Kind of like Hans and Franz, but, uh, less German.
Hanz and Franz were two characters - Austrian fitness freaks - played by Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live
