Episode Quotes

Sam: Huh, when you sacrifice to Holnacar, guess what he gives you in return?
Dean: Lap dances, hopefully.

Young Dean: First thing you have to know is we have the coolest dad in the world. He's a superhero.
Young Sam: He is?
Young Dean: Yeah. Monsters are real. He's fighting them right now.

Dean: Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
Sam: No, Jesus' birthday was probably in the fall. It was actually the Winter Solstice Festival that was co-opted by the church and renamed Christmas. But I mean the Yule log, the tree, even Santa's red suit, that's all remnants of Pagan worship.
Dean: How do you know that? You gonna tell me next...the Easter Bunny's Jewish?

Dean: Wreaths, huh? Sure you didn't want to ask her about her shoes? I saw some nice handbags in the foyer.

Sam: He punishes the wicked.
Dean: By hauling their asses up the chimney.
Sam: For starters, yeah.

Elf: Welcome to Santa's Court. Can I escort your child to Santa?
Sam: Uh...
Dean: No. Uh, but, actually, my brother here, it's been a lifelong dream of his.
Elf: Uhh, sorry... no kids over twelve?
Sam: No, he's just kidding. We only came here to watch.
Elf: Ew.
Sam: Ahh, I didn't mean that we came here to... you... thanks a lot, Dean. Thanks for that.
