Episode Quotes
 
Dean: What have they got on you?
Sam: I'm sure they just... haven't posted it yet.
Dean: What, no accessory? Nothing?
Sam: Shut up.
Dean: (laughs) You're jealous.
Sam: No, I'm not!
Dean: Uh, huh. Alright, what you got on the case there, you innocent, harmless young man, you?
 
Dean: And, uhh, I don't know what this thing is.
Sam: You mean Carly's MySpace address?
Dean: Yeah, MySpace, what the hell is that?
(Sam laughs)
Dean: Seriously, is that like some sort of porn site?
 
Dean: How could he [Dad] do it?
Sam: He did it for you.
Dean: Exactly. How am I supposed to live with that? You know, the thought of him wherever he is. He spent his whole life chasing that yellow-eyed son-of-a-bitch. He should have gone out fighting. That was supposed to be his legacy. You know? Not bargaining with the damn thing. Not this.
 
Dean: Well, we know a little about a lot of things, just enough to make us dangerous.
 
Sam: So?
Dean: Secretary’s name is Carly. She’s 23, she kayaks, and they’re real.
Sam: You didn’t happen to ask her if she’s seen any black dogs lately did you?
 
Sam: So much for a low profile. You’ve got a warrant in St. Louis and now you’re officially in the feds’ database.
Dean: Dude, I’m like Dillinger or something.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Episode Title: Crossroad Blues

The episode title comes from the Robert Johnson song "Cross Roads Blues" which is played during the episode. The episode also contains flashbacks of the legendary blues singer.
 
Dean: Yeah, MySpace, what the hell is that?

Dean's ignorance of MySpace seems to be a jab at the popular chat site. MySpace is enormously popular - and a subsidiary of CW rival Fox.
 
Dean: Place could be full of women in Leia bikinis...

Dean speculates on what George Darrow might have received in exchange for his soul, referring to the sixth Star Wars chapter (the third film produced). In 1983's Return of the Jedi, loathsome gangster Jabba the Hutt captures Princess Leia and forces her to wear a revealing costume; Jabba's lascivious tastes apparently running to women of all species.
 
Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson, whom we see in flashbacks, was a legendary blues man who lived a short life that produced some 29 songs and influenced many, many rock and roll legends. Stories, partially depicted in the episode, claim that Johnson sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for his musical gift. In the episode Johnson succumbs at the crossroads, muttering of black dogs. His actual death was likely more mundane: poisoning by a jealous husband whose wife Johnson was seeing on the side.
 
Dean: Dude, I am like Dillinger or something.

In the 1930s, John Dillinger was a legendary bank robber and gangster, often referred to as a Robin Hood.
