Episode Quotes
Sam: Hey, there's salt over here, right inside the door.
Dean: You mean like "protection against demons" salt or "oops, I spilled the popcorn" salt?

Dean: Vampires. Gets funnier every time I hear it.

John Winchester: Dean, why don't you touch up your car, before you get rust. I wouldn't have given you the damn thing if I thought you were going to ruin it.

John Winchester: Get back in the car.
Sam: No.
John Winchester: I said, get back in the car.
Sam: Yeah. And I said no.

Sam: You were the one who said "Don’t come back," Dad. You’re the one who closed that door, not me! You were just pissed off you couldn’t control me any more!

Dean: So they're really not afraid of the sun.
John Winchester: Direct sunlight hurts like a nasty sunburn. The only way to kill 'em is by beheading... and yeah, they sleep during the day. Doesn't mean they won't wake up.

Sam: Hey, Dad, whatever happened to that college fund?
John Winchester: Spent it on ammo.

Kate: Car trouble? Let me give you a lift. Take you back to my place.
Dean: Ah, I'll pass. I usually draw the line at necrophilia.
Kate: Ooh! (picks Dean up)
Dean: I don't normally get this friendly 'til the second date, but...
Kate: You know, we could have some fun. I always like to make new friends.
Dean: Sorry. Don't really stay with a chick that long, definitely not eternity.

Sam: You can't treat us like this.
John Winchester: Like what?
Sam: Like children.
John Winchester: You are my children. I'm trying to keep you safe.
Dean: Dad, all due respect but, uh, that's a bunch of crap.

John Winchester: So, boys.
Sam: Yes, sir.
John Winchester: You ignored a direct order back there.
Sam: Yes, sir.
Dean: Yeah, but we saved your ass.
John Winchester: You're right.
Dean: I am?
John Winchester: Scares the hell out of me. You two are all I've got. Well, I guess we are stronger as a family. So, we go after this damn thing...together.
Sam and Dean: Yes, sir.



Episode Goofs
Daniel gives his last name as Elkins, but his name was listed D. Elkin in the journal.


When John approaches the brothers for the first time as they sit in the Impala, initially the window on Dean's side is closed (note John's reflection). In the next shot, it is half up. Finally, when John gets out of the car, Dean's window is about a quarter up, although at no time is he shown to touch the window handle.




When Sam and Dean run out of the vampires' lair, Sam is holding a machete in his right hand. However, it disappears in the next shot, when there's no reason for him to drop it and every reason for him to keep it to fight off any pursuing vampires.


When John is talking about the origin of the gun, he mentions that it was made in 1835 at the Battle of the Alamo. However, the Battle of the Alamo took place in 1836.



Cultural References
Dean: Sounds more like That's Incredible than Twilight Zone.

That's Incredible was a 1980s reality show that did short segments on people with amazing stories or talents. Each of the Twilight Zone series (one in 1959, 1985, and 2002) told the stories of supernatural occurances and of the unknown.
