Episode Quotes
Dean: All right. I've been cruisin' some websites and I think I found some candidates for our next gig. A fishing trawler found off the coast of Cali, its crew vanished. And, uh, we got some cattle mutilations in west Texas. Hey! Am I boring you with this hunting-evil stuff?
Sam: No, I'm listening. Keep going.
Dean: And here, a Sacramento man shot himself in the head. Three times. Any of these things blowin' up your skirt, pal?
Sam: No, I'm listening. Keep going.
Dean: And here, a Sacramento man shot himself in the head. Three times. Any of these things blowin' up your skirt, pal?
Dean: Just slow down would ya. I mean first you tell me that you've got the Shining, and then you tell me that I've got to go back home, especially when . . .
Sam: When what?
Dean: When I swore to myself that I would never go back there.
Sam: When what?
Dean: When I swore to myself that I would never go back there.
Dean: (leaving John a voicemail) Dad, I know I've left messages before. I don't even know if you get 'em. But I'm with Sam, and we're in Lawrence, and there's something in our old house. I don't know if it's the thing that killed Mom or not... but... I don't know what to do. So whatever you're doing, if you could get here... please. I need your help, Dad.
Missouri Moseley: Oh, you boys grew up handsome. (to Dean) And you were one goofy-looking kid, too.
Missouri Moseley: Sam, oh honey. I'm sorry about your girlfriend. And your father... he's missing.
Sam: How'd you know all that?

Dean: Where is he? Is he okay?
Missouri Moseley: I don't know.
Dean: Don't know? Your supposed to be a psychic, right?
Missouri Moseley: Boy, you see me sawing some bony tramp in half? You think I'm a magician? I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room, but I can't just pull facts out of thin air.

Dean: I didn't do anything.
Missouri Moseley: Well, you were thinking about it.
Dean: I didn't do anything.
Missouri Moseley: Well, you were thinking about it.
Missouri Moseley: That an EMF?
Dean: Yeah.
Missouri Moseley: Amateur.
