At 04:34, there's a note John posted on the wall. It says "sleep easy motel" with a picture of the demon (?) holding an orb of some sort, the gun (with the words 'the one only one' and 'SAM'), and there's a phone number - 555-0918 with the name Gerry.
Quotes
Dean:
Sam, I wanna waste it. I do, okay? But it's not worth dying over!
Sam: What?
Dean: I mean it! If hunting this demon means you getting yourself
killed, then I hope we never find the damn thing!
Meg: Well, I’ve lied... a lot. I’ve stolen. I’ve lusted. And the other day I met this man – a nice guy, you know? And we had a really good chat...sort of like this. Then I slit his throat and ripped his heart out through his chest. (her eyes turn black) Does that make me a bad person?
Pastor Jim: I like to say, salvation was created for sinners.
John: I’m
going to kill you.
Meg: Oh, John, please – mind your blood pressure.
Sam: I wonder
how Dad’s doing.
Dean: I’d feel a lot better if we were there backing him
up.
Sam: I’d feel a lot better if he were here backing us up.
Dean: You said
yourself once, that no matter what we do, they're gone and they're
never coming back.
Sam: Don't you say that, not you, not after all this, don't you
say that!
Dean: Sam, look. The three of us, that's all we have. And it's
all I have. Sometimes I feel like I'm barely holding it together,
man. And without you or Dad...
Sam: Maybe we
could tell them there's a gas leak, that might get them out of
the house for a few hours.
Dean: Yeah, and how many times has that actually worked for us?
Sam: Yeah. (long pause) We could always tell them the truth.
Sam and Dean: (in unison) Naaah.
Meg: You're
dead, John. Your boys are dead.
John: I never used the gun, how could I know it wouldn't work?
Meg: I am so not in the mood for this, I've just been shot!
John: Well then, I guess you're lucky the gun wasn't real.
Meg: That's funny, John. We're gonna strip the skin from your
bones, but that was funny.
Sam: Dean, uh,
I want to thank you.
Dean: For what?
Sam: For everything. You've always had my back, you know. Even
when I couldn't count on anyone, I could always count on you.
And, uh, I just wanted to let you know, just in case.
Dean: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you kidding me?
Sam: What?
Dean: Don't say just in case something happens to you, I don't
want to hear that freaking speech, man. Nobody's dying tonight,
not us, not that family, nobody. Except that demon. That evil
son of a bitch ain't getting any older than tonight, understand
me?
John: Alright,
something like this starts happening to your brother, you pick
up the phone and you call me.
Dean: Call you? Are you kidding me? Dad, I called you from Lawrence...Sam
called you when I was dying. I mean getting you on the phone,
I got a better chance of winning the lottery.
John: You're right. Although I'm not real crazy about this new
tone of yours, you're right. I'm sorry.
Cute Girl: Hi,
is there anything I can do for you?
Dean: Oh god, yes.
Pastor Jim:
I know what you are. You can't be here. This is hallowed ground!
Meg: Please, maybe that works in the minor leagues, but not with
me.
Meg: You shot me! I can't believe you just shot me!
References
Meg: Still there, John-Boy?
Referring to the 1970s TV show The Waltons - The story is
told through the eyes of John Boy, who wants to be a novelist,
goes to college, and eventually fulfills his dream. The signature
scene that closed each episode was the voice-overs, where each
character bids the other good-night: "Good night, Mary-Ellen."
"Good night, Jim-Bob." "Good night, Elizabeth."
"Good night, Ben," etc., until the last good-night from
John Walton, Sr. to his son: "Good night, John-Boy."
"Good night, everyone" The show ran on CBS from 1972
to 1981.
Meg: Wabash
and Lake.
