Quotes
Sam:
Wait, so, so Kendall married Ethan's father just to get back at
him?
Madison: Yup and now she's set to inherit all the casinos that
were supposed to go to Ethan.
Sam: What a bitch.
Sam: What were you doing with Kurt?
Madison: I don’t know. I mean, it’s not like he introduced
himself like, “Hi, I’m possessive and controlling and
I like to punch people, wanna be my girlfriend?”
Sam: (answers his cell) Hey.
Dean: I found him.
Sam: Good, don't keep your eyes off him.
Dean: (looks at stripper) Oh, my eyes are glued. Look Sammy I
gotta let 'cha go I uh (clears throat) I don't wanna miss anything.
(gives the stripper a dollar and hangs up his cell)
Sam: Maybe she doesn't really know she's changing. You know maybe,
maybe when the creature takes over she blacks out.
Dean: Like a really hot Incredible Hulk?
Dean: Sammy, I don't think we got a choice here any more.
Sam: What?
Dean: I hate to say it, she's a sweet girl, but part of her is...
Sam: Evil?
Dean: Yeah.
Sam: Yeah, that's what they say about me, Dean. So me you won't
kill but her you're just gonna blow away.
