Quotes
Sam:
I want to know why?
John: (possessed) What? why, I killed mommy and pretty little
Jess?
Sam: Yeah!
John: (possessed) You know, Sam never told you this, but he was
going to ask Jess to marry him. Been shopping for rings, and everything.
You want to know why?!
Sam: Yes!
John: (possessed) Because they got in the way.
Sam: In the way of what?!
John: (possessed) In the way of my plans for you and all the other
kids like you.
Bobby: (handing
Dean one of two flasks) Here you go.
Dean: What is this, holy water?
Bobby: That one is. This is whiskey.
Dean: Boy, you and Dad are a lot more alike that I thought you know that? You both can't wait to sacrifice yourself for this thing, but you know what, I'm gonna be the one to bury you!
Meg: He begged
for his life with tears in his eyes. He begged to see his sons
one last time and that's when I slit his throat.
Dean: For your sake, I hope you're lying. Cause if it's true,
I swear to God I will march into hell myself and I will slaughter
each and every one of you evil sons of bitches, so help me God!
Meg: Jeez, you kiss your mother with that mouth? Oh I forgot, you don't.
Meg: That's
kind of a turn-on, you hitting a girl.
Dean: You're no girl.
Dean: I always
wanted to be a fireman when I grew up.
Sam: What? You never told me that!
Dean: I swear
to God...
John: (possessed) What? What are you and God gonna do?
John: (possessed) Your dad, he's in here with me. Trapped inside his own meat suit. He say's "Hi," by the way.
Dean: Listen, you want to just get this over with, huh, cause I really can't stand the monologuing.
Sam: I'm gonna
kill you.
John: (possessed) Oh, that would be a neat trick. In fact, here,
make the gun float to you there, psychic boy.
Meg: I swear,
after everything I heard about you Winchesters, I'm a little underwhelmed.
First, Johnny tries to pawn off a fake gun and then he leaves
the real gun with you two chuckleheads. Lackluster, man. I mean,
did you really think I wouldn't find you?
Dean: Actually, we were counting on it.
Dean: You know
that guy I shot? There was a person in there.
Sam: You didn't have a choice, Dean.
Dean: Yeah, I know, that's not what bothers me.
Sam: Then what does?
Dean: Killing that guy, killing Meg - I didn't hesitate, I didn't
even flinch. For you or Dad, the things I'm willing to do or kill,
it scares me sometimes.
John: (possessed) What? You are the only one who can have a family? You destroyed my children. How would you feel if I have killed your family? Oh...that's right, I forgot, I did. Still, two wrongs don't make a right.
John: I'm surprised
at you, Sammy. Why didn't you kill it. I thought we saw eye to
eye on this--killing this demon comes first, before me, before
everything.
Sam: No, sir, not before everything.
John: (possessed)Sam,
he's clearly John's favorite. Even when they fight, its more concern
than he's ever showin' you.
Dean: Yeah, I bet you're real proud of your kids, too. Huh? Oh
wait, I forgot, I wasted them!
Bobby: You think you guys invented lying to the cops. I’ll figure something out.
Meg: You know, if you wanted to tie me up, all you had to do was ask.
Meg: You son
of a bitch, you promised!
Dean: I lied!
Dean: Where's
our father, Meg?
Meg: You didn't ask very nice.
Dean: Where's our father, bitch?
Sam: Hey, uh,
Dean? Ummm...You saved my life back there.
Dean: So I guess you're glad I brought the gun, huh?
Sam: I'm trying to thank you here.
Dean: You're welcome.
Dean: What's
happening? Is there a fire?
Firefighter: Sir, you have to stand back.
Dean: Well, I got a yorkie upstairs and he pees when he's nervous.
Dean: No, you're gonna burn in Hell, unless you tell us where our dad is. (no response) Well at least you'll get a nice tan.
References
Bobby: Rumsfeld.
Bobbys dog's name Rumsfeld is an allusion to Donald Henry
Rumsfeld (born July 9, 1932), the 21st U.S. Secretary of Defense
Dean: Oh
we're going for it, baby. Head spinning, projectile vomiting,
the whole nine yards.
Refering
to the 1973 horror movie The Exorcist, in which a young girl is
possessed by a demon. The movie was written by William Peter Blatty,
who also wrote the novel it was based upon.
Meg's exorcism/interrogation scene could be considered a visual reference to the interrogation scene of Sharon Stone's character in Basic Instinct, considering the similarities in styling (the short blonde hair), posing, and cinematography in certain shots
The book flipping pages seemingly of its own accord during Meg's exorcism is a visual reference to a similar occurence (in similar circumstances) in the Evil Dead films.
