Episode Quotes
Dean: I'm starving, lets get breakfast.
Sam: Where? We're like two hours from anything.
Dean: But I'm hungry now.
Sam: There is probably still a sandwich in the backseat.
Dean: It's tuna.

Adam Milligan: Okay, so basically you're saying that every movie monster, every nightmare that I've ever had, that's all real.
Dean: Godzilla's just a movie.

Dean: Adam doesn't have to be cursed.
Sam: He's a Winchester. He's already cursed.

Sam: No wonder none of the tests worked. You're not shapeshifers. You're ghouls.
Kate Milligan: You know, I find that term racist.



Cultural References
After learning of their newfound younger brother, the Winchester boys find themselves at "Cousin Oliver's Diner." Cousin Oliver was a character introduced into "The Brady Bunch" when the show's ratings were declining, which is generally when that show is considered to have "jumped the shark."



Episode References
Dean loses at Rock-Scissors-Paper to Sam, by choosing Scissors. As established in "Heart," he always chooses Scissors.
