Trivia
Quotes
[Sam bribes the morgue attendant with money so he shows them a
corpse]
Dean: Dude, I earned that money.
Sam: You won it in a poker game.
Dean: Yeah.
Dean: [about
Sam's plan to destroy Bloody Mary] Well, who's gonna summon her?
Sam: I will. She'll come after me.
Dean: You know what? That's it. [pulls car over] This is about
Jessica isn't it? You think that's your dirty little secret, that
you killed her somehow? Sam, this has got to stop, man. I mean,
the nightmares and calling her name out in the middle of the night
- it's gonna kill you. Now listen to me: it wasn't your fault.
If you wanna blame something, then blame the thing that killed
her. Or hell, why don't you take a swing at me? I mean I'm the
one that dragged you away from her in the first place.
Sam: I don't blame you.
Dean: Well you shouldn't blame yourself, because there's nothing
you could have done.
Sam: I could have warned her.
Dean: About what? You didn't know what was gonna happen! And besides,
all of this isn't a secret, I mean I know all about it. It's not
gonna work with Mary anyway.
Sam: No you don't.
Dean: I don't what?
Sam: You don't know all about it. I haven't told you everything.
Dean: What are you talking about?
Sam: Well, it wouldn't really be a secret if I told you, would
it?
Dean: [looks surprised, then stern] No. I don't like it. It's
not gonna happen, forget it.
Sam: Dean, that girl back there is going to die unless we do something
about it. And you know what? Who knows how many more people are
gonna die after that? Now we're doing this. You've got to let
me do this.
References
Dean: Do I look like Paris Hilton?
Said while Sam is filming Dean with a camcorder. Most likely
Dean was making a reference to Hilton's infamous sex video, which
made the rounds on the internet. It's also perhaps a bit of meta,
as Hilton and Jared Padalecki worked together in the film House
of Wax.

* A great deal of the aesthetic of the villain (Bloody Mary) in
this episode is taken from the Japanese horror film and American
remake, The Ring.
