Quotes
Bobby: This is the Scribe of God? He looks like a Fraggle. Metatron: I'm gonna take that as a compliment! That was an excellent program.

After Castiel steals the Grace of Metatron and Sam Winchester shoots him in the leg Castiel: We have your grace, Metatron; you're mortal now. So, you will answer our questions, or Sam will ─ um... what's the phrase? Blow your frickin' brains out!

Crowley meets Dean at the bar following the failed attack by Rowena

Dean: Been waiting on you.

Crowley: Squirrel.

Dean: Boris. Where's Natasha?

-

Dean: Look, I'm not saying that I didn't want to slice and dice the witch; I'm just saying that that's not how it went down.

Crowley: So, she's a liar?

Dean: [smugly] Must run in the family.

Crowley: Mother says that Mark is just a curse, can be removed. Of course, she doesn't know how. Dean: Figures. But, I'm good, thanks.

Crowley: Who's the liar now? She says I've gone soft.

Dean: You have. What? Yeah, maybe it's all the human blood that Sammy pumped into you, you know? Maybe it's, uh... I don't know! I don't know. But, the old Crowley, he would have come in here with Hellhounds and demons, and he would have blown the roof off the joint. Now? You didn't want to fight. You wanted to talk. And maybe I've changed, too. Here I am, playing Dr. Phil to the King of Hell. Never saw that coming.

Crowley: Maybe we're getting old.

Dean: Never saw that coming, either. What is it, huh? Why you letting mommy dearest tie you into knots? Crowley: Because... We're family. Blood.

Dean: That's not the same thing. A wise man once told me, "family don't end in blood," but it doesn't start there, either: Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. Family's there through the good, bad ─ all of it. They got your back, even when it hurts. That's family. That sound like your mother? (Mommy Dearest was the Season Six episode in which Dean, Sam, Bobby, and Castiel defeated Eve, and in which Crowley, presumed dead, appears at the end to chat with Castiel.)

Bobby: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. (After finding his escape hatch and emerging into the hallways of Heaven, an alarm is triggered.) BALLS!
