- Dean Winchester: I'll have some beef jerky and a pack of menthols.
- Castiel: What are you doing here?
- Dean Winchester: Gee, it's nice to see you too, Cas.
- Castiel: It's Steve now. And, uh, you surprised me.
- Dean Winchester: Well, the feeling is mutual. I mean, I knew you had to lay low from the angel threat, but, uh... Wow. This is some cover.
- Castiel: My grace is gone. What did you expect? Do you have any idea how hard it was? When I fell to earth, I didn't just lose my powers. I- I had nothing.
- [with pride]
- Castiel: Now, I'm a sales associate.
- Dean Winchester: A sales associate.
- Vendor: Hey, Steve. Can you sign here?
- [hands clipboard to Cas who signs it and hands it back]
- Castiel: I'm responsible for inventory, sales, customer service. I keep this place - thank you - clean and presentable. And when my manager's busy, I even prepare the food.
- Dean Winchester: Wow. So you went from fighting heavenly battles to nuking taquitos?
- Castiel: [nodding proudly] Nachos too.
- Castiel: [to baby Tanya] Nobody told you. Nobody explained. You're just... shoved out kicking and screaming into this human life, without any idea why any of it feels the way it feels, or why this confusion, which feels like it's... a hair's breadth from terror or pain. You know, just when you think you do understand, it'll turn out you're wrong. You didn't understand anything at all. Guess that's just how it is when you're new at this.
- Crying Teenager: She was kind of bummed that dick-bag Travis broke up with her in front of the whole school.
- Dean Winchester: Kind of bummed?
- Crying Teenager: Yeah. Like more bummed than when she got a "C" on a quiz, and less bummed than when her parents split up. Kind of bummed.
- Castiel: Earth can be a hard place. But these humans, they can get better. They're just doing the best they can.
- Ephraim: Is that what you think you're doing, Castiel - the best you can? Well, I'm sorry. But if this is the best that the famed Castiel can do, you're a more urgent case than I thought. I used to admire you. You failed more often than you succeeded. But at least you played big. Now what are you doing? Burying your head in the sand.
- Dean Winchester: There's one guy there who is nothing if not well-rested.
- Sam Winchester: Crowley?
- Dean Winchester: I'm just saying we're not keeping him chained up for the one-liners.
- Crowley: [Demonic "phone call"] This is Crowley. Your *king*. If you don't connect me Abaddon right away, I'll be forced to---
- [Cuts off]
- Sam Winchester: What is it? What happened?
- Crowley: I've been placed on hold.
- Heartbroken Teenager: He dumped me, Jace. In the cafeteria. In front of *everyone*. It's just like, who does that, you know? Like, why couldn't he just dump me on Facebook like a normal person?
- Castiel: Going on dates, that's something humans do, right?
- Dean Winchester: Yeah, I mean, my dates usually end when I run out of singles, but, yeah.
- Dean Winchester: You coming?
- Castiel: I wouldn't be much use. I don't have my powers.
- Dean Winchester: So? I've never had powers.
- Castiel: You are a hunter.
- Dean Winchester: And you're a hunter-in-training, remember?
- Castiel: Yeah, I remember. And you said I sucked.
- Dean Winchester: I didn't say that. I said that there was, uh... uh, you know, room for improvement.
- Crowley: You think you can control Hell with chaos alone, without the support of those who are still loyal to me?
- Abaddon: No one's seen you in weeks, and last I saw you, Howdy and Doody had you tied up nice and tight. Seems to reason, they've turned you into a kennel dog. How does it feel, Crowley, to be the Winchesters' bitch?
- [Crowley twitches]
- Abaddon: It's been fun indulging in your bluffs, but we both know you have no real authority left, no leverage. You have nothing to offer me. You have - nothing.
- Crowley: Your way will backfire. You. Will. Burn.
- Abaddon: I can't wait.
- Dean Winchester: [Prepping Cas for his date] Always open the door for her, okay? Ask a lot of questions. They like that. And, oh, if she says she's happy to go Dutch, she's lying. All right? Go get him, tiger.
- Dean Winchester: [about a strange pinkish stain residue at crime scene] Blood?
- Sheriff: If the tests come back same as the others... it's everything. Blood, skin, hair, nails. Internal organs. Even clothing fibers. Like these poor souls got run through the world's finest wood-chipper.
- Dean Winchester: [Reading the title of a large book] "Zimmerman's Encyclopedia of Extinct Languages, Volume One: Adai to Atakapa." How many volumes are there?
- Kevin Tran: Twenty-four. Don't worry, we've got them all.
- Dean Winchester: [Stares, open mouthed in horror] Awesome.
- [His phone rings]
- Dean Winchester: There is a God.
- Crowley: I'll do it. But I want something in return.
- Sam Winchester: Yeah, what's that?
- Crowley: A telephone call.
- [Sam gets up]
- Crowley: Come on, moose. Even Dahmer got one telephone call.
- Sam Winchester: I was there that night. I saw what humanity did to you. Like it or not, there's still a little part of you that's not a douche.
- Crowley: Sorry, moose. To the last drop.
- Sam Winchester: [Looking at drawings of strange symbols] That's your "big news," is that you translated the tablet into doodles?
- Kevin Tran: It's cuneiform. I hit a wall translating the tablet into English. But I found an ancient codex linking the Angel script to Proto-Elamite cuneiform, and I was able to translate the tablet and the footnotes into Elamite, which is...
- Dean Winchester: Doodles.
