Dean: He's given us coordinates before.
Sam: The man can barely work a toaster, Dean.
 
Katherine: So how do you guys know about all this ghost stuff?
Sam: It's kind of our job.

Sam: What Dad wants doesn't matter!

Cultural References
 
Dean: Let me know if you see any dead people, Haley Joel.

This is reference to the movie The Sixth Sense. In this movie the character Cole Sear, interpreted by the actor Haley Joel Osment, can see dead people, and says the famous line "I see dead people".
 
Dean: So who do you think is the hottest psychic? Patricia Arquette? Jennifer Love Hewitt? Or you?

Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Love Hewitt have their own "supernatural" tv show, Medium and Ghost Whisperer. Their characters are very similar.
 
Dean: Nigel Tufnel

This alias that Dean gives is the name of the lead singer of the fictional band Spinal Tap. Nigel is played by actor Christopher Guest.
 
Dean: Don't ask don't tell.

"Don't ask, don't tell" is the United States military policy that began during WWI and is still used today concerning sexual orientation of its recruits.
 
Dean: All work and no play makes Dr. Ellicott a very dull boy.

This is a reference to Jack, Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining, who is a psychotic caretaker of a hotel. Jack was writing a novel, but all he wrote in the book was "All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy" over and over.
 
Dean: Dr. Feelgood was working on some sort of extreme rage therapy.

Dr. Feelgood is a nickname given to doctors who overprescribe psychoactive "feelgood" medicine to their patients.
 
 
Episode References
 
While Dean is reading an article about the asylum, a picture of a Wendigo is on one of the pages. This relates back to "Wendigo" in which Sam and Dean battle a Wendigo in Colorado.
