Quotes

• Dean Winchester: So what the smoke mutated 'em? Yeah, sure why not just a couple of hours ago I killed Death, I'm pretty much open for anything. But mutated into what? Alright you know what, one thing at a time let's just get her some help and we'll deal with whatever comes next.

....

• Castiel: Brothers, sisters. I know I have no right, I have no standing to ask you anything, but these are desperate times so ask I must. I confess my transgressions, and I will accept whatever punishment you dole out, now I ask you to help me. Please, save me from doing worse.

....

• Dean Winchester: Why do I get the feeling that is going to bite us in the ass?

....

• Dean Winchester: We can't save Cas if we're stuck in some hospital, okay. Just like I can't strap on a time machine, go back and tell Cain to stick that Mark up his ass, or stop you from releasing the Darkness. Now have we made mistakes? Yes, hell yes. And we can analyze each and everyone one of them over a couple of frosty's when we are old and farting sawdust and out of this room! Right now all I can do is gear up, go out and save that frickin' baby, which is exactly what I'm gonna do.

....

• Sam Winchester: When did we forget how to do this?
• Dean Winchester: What!?
• Sam Winchester: Dean if you don't change right now, all of our crap is gonna keep repeating itself.
• Dean Winchester: Okay, I don't even - what?
• Sam Winchester: This, this kill first question later. What happened to us? Hunting things -- we're good at that, sure we're great at that. But that's only half of the bumper sticker, man.

....

• Sam Winchester: This is the Darkness, right? It's gotta be.
• Dean Winchester: So what? She shows up and everyone goes 28 Days Later? We didn't.
