  Episode Quotes  
Dean: I'm just saying these outfits cost hard-earned money, okay?
Sam: Whose?
Dean: Ours! Think credit card fraud's easy?
 
Sam: You say you talked to the cops?
Dean: Uhhh, yeah. Spoke to Amy, the uh, charming, perky officer of the law.
Sam: Yeah? What'd you find out?
Dean: Well, she's a Sagittarius. She loves tequila, I mean, wooo... Ohh, she's got this little tattoo...
Sam: Dean!
Dean: What? Yeah. Uhhh, nothing we don't already know.
 
Sam: Ever see that symbol before?
Dean: Never.
Sam: Me neither.
 
Dean: Talked to the bartender.
Sam: Get anything? Besides her number?
Dean: Dude. I'm a professional. I'm offended that you would think that... Alright. (holds up number)
Sam: You mind doing a little thinking with your upstairs brain, Dean?
Dean: Huh?
 
(Dean coughs for attention)
Meg: Dude, cover your mouth.
Sam: Yeah, um, I'm sorry, Meg. This is um, this is my brother, Dean.
Meg: This is Dean?
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: So, you've heard of me?
Meg: Ohh, yeah. I've heard of you. Nice. The way you treat your brother like luggage.
Dean: Sorry?
Meg: Why don't you let him do what he wants to do? Stop dragging him over God's green earth.
Sam: Meg, it's alright.
Dean: (whistles) Okayyy, awkward! Heh heh, I'm gonna get a drink, then.
 
Dean: Let me guess, you're looking outside that poor girl's apartment, aren't you?
Sam: No... Yes.
Dean: You got a funny way of showing your affection.
 
Dean: (to Sam) Now why don't you go knock on her door and uhh, invite her to a poetry reading or whatever it is you do, huh?
 
Meg: I saw you watching me, changing in my apartment. Turned you on, didn't it?
Dean: Get a room, you two.

  Analysis  
Sam and Dean's relationship with their father

This episode is a good example of the relationship that the brothers have with their father. Though they have spent their time searching for their father, Sam and Dean decide to let their father leave without them, knowing that if he stays he will be in danger. John proves that even though he left his boys, he still cares deeply for them by showing up when they need him the most.
