Episode Quotes
Dean: There's Sam girls and Dean girls. And what's a slash fan?
Sam: As in... Sam slash Dean. Together.
Dean: Like... together together?
Sam: Yeah.
Dean: They do know we're brothers, right?
Sam: It doesn't seem to matter.
Dean: Ah, come on. That's... that's just sick.

Sam: Well, we're hoping that our article can... shine a light on an underappreciated series.
Sera Siege: Yeah! Yeah, because, you know, if we got a little bit of good press, then maybe we could start publishing again!
Dean: : No, no, no, no. God no. I mean, why, why would you want to do that? You know, it's uh...such a complete series. What with Dean going to Hell and all.
Sera Siege: Oh my God, that was one of my favorite ones because Dean was so... strong and sad and brave. And Sam... oh, I mean the best parts are when they cry, you know, like in... like in "Heart." When Sam had to kill Madison, the first woman since Jessica he really loved. And in "Home," when Dean had to call John and ask him for help. If only real men were so open and in touch with their feelings.
Dean: Real men?
Sera Siege: Oh... I mean, no offense. How often do you cry like that, hmm?
Dean: Well, right now I'm crying on the inside.
Sera Siege: Is that supposed to be funny?
Dean: Lady, this whole thing is funny.

Chuck Shurlkey: Look, uh, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Really, I do. It's always nice to hear from a fan. But for your own good I strongly suggest you get a life.

Dean: I'm sitting in a laundromat reading about myself sitting in a laundromat reading about myself. My head hurts.

(reading)
Dean: "Sam turned his back on Dean. His face brooding and pensive." I mean, I don't know how this guy is doing it but this guy is doing it. I can't see your face but those are definitely your pensive and brooding shoulders. (Sam pauses) You just thought I was a dick.
Sam: This guy's good.

(to Sam)
Dean: Behave yourself, would you? No homework. Watch some porn.

Chuck Shurlkey: I am the prophet Chuck!
Lilith: You've got to be joking.

Zachariah: Where are you going?
Chuck Shurley: To go kill myself.
Zachariah: Don't be melodramatic, Chuck. We'd only bring you back to life.
