Castiel Quotes

	Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End Dean Winchester: What are you, stoned? Castiel: Generally, yeah.
	Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End Dean Winchester: Amphetamines? Castiel: It's the perfect antidote to that absinthe.
	Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End Dean Winchester: Oh well, if it isn't the ghost of Christmas Screw You. Zachariah: Enough. Dean, enough. You saw it, right? You saw what happens. You're the only person who can prove the Devil wrong. Just say yes. Dean Winchester: And how do I know that this whole thing isn't one of your tricks? Huh? Some angel hocus-pocus? Zachariah: The time for tricks is over. Give yourself to Michael. Say yes, and we can strike. Before Lucifer gets to Sam. Before billions die. [long pause, Dean walks around the angel] Dean Winchester: [with his back turned] Nah. Zachariah: "Nah"? You telling me you haven't learned you lesson? Dean Winchester: [angrily] Oh I learned a lesson all right. Just not the one you wanted to teach! Zachariah: [furious, advancing on Dean] Well, I'll just have to teach it again! 'Cause I've got you now, boy, and I'm never letting you - [Zachariah is suddenly staring in shock at the empty air where Dean used to be] Sonofa... [Dean finds himself on a deserted road, turns to see Castiel regarding him calmly] Dean Winchester: That's pretty nice timing, Cas. Castiel: [smiling slightly] We had an appointment. [Dean smiles, lays a hand on Cas' shoulder] Dean Winchester: Don't ever change.
	Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End Dean Winchester: [on cell phone] Talking about the Colt, right? As in, the Colt? Castiel: We are. Dean Winchester: Well that doesn't make any sense, I mean, why would the demons keep a gun around that - kills demons? Castiel: [shouting over a passing truck] What? What, Dean - I didn't, I didn't get that. Dean Winchester: [laughing] Y'know it's kinda funny, talking to a messenger of God on a cell phone. It's, you know, like watching a Hell's Angel ride a moped. Castiel: [irritated] This isn't funny, Dean! The voice says I'm almost out of minutes! Dean Winchester: Okay, all right. Look, I, I'm tellin' you Cas, the mooks have melted down the gun by now. Castiel: Well, I hear differently. And if it's true, and if you are still set on the insane task of killing the Devil, this is how we do it. Dean Winchester: Okay, where do we start? Castiel: Where are you now? Dean Winchester: Uh, Kansas City... [looks at his room key] Century Hotel, room 113. Castiel: I'll be there immediately. [starts to hang up, Dean stops him] Dean Winchester: Whoa whoa whoa, no, no, come on man, I just drove like sixteen hours straight, okay? I'm human. There's stuff I gotta do. Castiel: What stuff? Dean Winchester: Eat, for example; in this case sleep, I just need like four hours every once in a while, okay? Castiel: Yes. Dean Winchester: Okay, so you can pop in tomorrow morning. Castiel: Yes. [Dean hangs up] I'll just... [hears the dial tone, hangs up, a little exasperated]... wait here, then.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: [From promo] [after discussing about trapping the Archangel Raphael] Do we have any chance of surviving this? Castiel: You do. Dean Winchester: So, odds are you are a dead man tomorrow. Castiel: Yes. Dean Winchester: Wow. Well, last night on earth. What, uh what are your plans? Castiel: I just thought I'd sit here quietly. Dean Winchester: Dude, come on. Anything? Booze? Women? [Castiel looks away uncomfortable] You have been with a women before? Right? Or an angel, at least? [Castiel shifts nervously in his seat, embarrassed] You mean to tell me you've never been up there doing a little cloud seating? Castiel: I never had occasion, okay? Dean Winchester: All right. Let me tell you something. There are two things that I know for certain. One. Bert and Ernie are gay. Two. You are not gonna die a virgin. Not on my watch. Let's go. [Castiel looks around uncertain, gets up and follows]
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: So, find God yet? More importantly, can I have my damn necklace back, please? Castiel: No, I haven't found him. That's why I'm here. I need your help. Dean Winchester: With what? A god hunt? I'm not interested. Castiel: It's not God. Someone else. Dean Winchester: Who? Castiel: It's an archangel. The one who killed me. Dean Winchester: Excuse me? Castiel: His name is Raphael. Dean Winchester: You were wasted by a Teenage Mutant Ninja Angel?
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: We're here why? Castiel: A deputy sheriff laid eyes on the archangel. Dean Winchester: And he still has eyes? All right, what's the plan? Castiel: [shrugs] We'll... tell the officer that he witnessed an Angel of the Lord, and the officer will tell us where the angel is. Dean Winchester: You're serious? You're gonna walk in there and tell him the truth? Castiel: [confused] Why not? [Dean slips an FBI badge into Castiel's inside pocket, fusses with his shirt and tie] Dean Winchester: Because... we're humans. And when humans want something, really really bad... we lie. Castiel: [puzzled] Why? Dean Winchester: Because... that's how you become president.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: [about finding Raphael] You're serious about this. So what, I'm Thelma and you're Louise and we're just gonna hold hands and drive off this cliff together? [pause while Castiel looks at him] Look, gimme one good reason why I should do this. Castiel: Because you're Michael's vessel, and no angel will dare harm you. Dean Winchester: Oh, so I'm your bullet shield! Castiel: I need your help, because you are the only one who'll help me. Please. [Castiel looks at him pleadingly] Dean Winchester: All right fine. Where is he? Castiel: Maine. Let's go. [reaches two fingers toward Dean's forehead] Dean Winchester: [flinching back] Whoa whoa! Castiel: What? Dean Winchester: Last time you zapped me someplace, I didn't poop for a week! We're driving.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: Hey, relax. Castiel: This is a den of iniquity. I should not be here. Dean Winchester: Dude, you full-on rebelled against Heaven. Iniquity is one of the perks! [a courtesan comes over] Showtime. Courtesan: [to Cas] Hi. What's your name? [Castiel hesitates, looking more and more nervous] Castiel: Cas! [Castiel jumps] His name's Cas. What's your name? Courtesan: Chastity. Dean Winchester: Chastity. Courtesan: Mm-hm. Dean Winchester: Wow. [to Cas, grinning] Is that kismet or what, buddy? [Castiel takes a long pull of beer] Well, he like you and you like him, so... Courtesan: [taking Castiel's hand] C'mon baby. Dean Winchester: [grabbing Castiel's elbow] Oh hey, listen. [taking out a wad of bills] Take this. If she asks for a credit card, no. Now just stick to the basics, okay? Do not order off the menu. Go get her, Tiger. [Cas looks helplessly panicked] Don't make me push you. [Cas takes the money, follows the courtesan]
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: [after the courtesan has run off angrily] What the hell did you do? Castiel: I don't know. I just looked at her in the eyes and told her it wasn't her fault that her father Gene ran off. It was because he hated his job at the post office. Dean Winchester: [slightly amused] Oh no, man. Castiel: What? Dean Winchester: This whole industry runs on absent fathers, it's, it's the natural order. [bouncers appear at the end of the hall] Dean Winchester: [grabbing Cas] We should go. C'mon. [they run outside, Dean doubles over, laughing] Castiel: What's so funny? [Dean puts an arm around Castiel's shoulders, Cas smiles] Dean Winchester: Oh, nothing. Whew. It's been a long time since I've laughed that hard. Oh. It's been more than a long time. Years.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Castiel: [pouring oil around Raphael's empty vessel] When the oil burns, no angel can touch or pass through the flames, or he dies. Dean Winchester: Okay, so we trap him in a steel cage of holy fire, but, uh, one question: how the hell do we get him here? Castiel: There's... well, almost an open phone line between a vessel and his angel. One just has to know how to dial. [leans over and mutters some strange words in the vessel's ear] I'm here, Raphael. Come and get me, you little bastard.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Castiel: [entering the abandoned house after summoning Raphael] Dean, wait. [He steps in front of Dean; Raphael appears with wings of lightning, the lights explode] Raphael: Castiel. Castiel: Raphael. Dean Winchester: Oh, you know, I thought you were supposed to be impressive. All you do is black out the room? Raphael: And the eastern seaboard. [to Castiel] It is a testament to my unending mercy that I do not smite you here and now. Dean Winchester: Or maybe you're full of crap. Maybe you're afraid that God'll bring Cas back to life again, and smite you, you candy-ass skirt. By the way, hi, I'm Dean. Raphael: I know who you are. And now thanks to him, I know where you are. Castiel: You won't kill him. You wouldn't dare. Raphael: But I will take him to Michael. Dean Winchester: [going to get a beer from the cooler] Well that sounds terrifying. It does. But, uh, I hate to tell ya, I'm not goin' anywhere with you. [turns his back and takes a sip] Raphael: Surely you remember Zachariah giving you stomach cancer? [a slight nervousness crosses Dean's face, but he turns back to Raphael, all swagger] Dean Winchester: Yeah, that was, that was hilarious. Raphael: Yes, well, he doesn't have anything close to my imagination. Dean Winchester: Oh yeah? [Raphael advances on him, Dean glances at the floor, then at Cas] I'll bet you didn't imagine one thing. Raphael: [threatening] What? Dean Winchester: We knew you were coming, you stupid sonofabitch. [he flicks his lighter and drops it on the circle of oil Raphael just walked into; flame surrounds the archangel; Raphael glares at Dean] Don't look at me, it was his idea! [Castiel gives him a look] Castiel: [to Raphael] Where is he? Raphael: God. [Cas nods] Didn't you hear? He's dead, Castiel. Dead.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Raphael: But there's no other explanation. He's gone for good. Castiel: You're lying. Raphael: Am I? Do you remember the twentieth century? Think the twenty-first is going any better? Do you think God would have let any of that happen, if he were alive? Dean Winchester: Oh yeah, well then who invented the Chinese basket trick? Raphael: Careful. That's my Father you're talking about, boy. Dean Winchester: Yeah, who would be so proud to know that his sons started the friggin' Apocalypse! Raphael: Who ran off and disappeared! Who left no instructions, and a world to rot. Dean Winchester: So Daddy ran away and disappeared. He didn't happen to work for the Post Office, did he? Raphael: This is funny to you? You're living in a Godless universe! Dean Winchester: [angrily] And? What, you and the other kids just decided to throw an Apocalypse while he's gone? Raphael: [wearily] We're tired. We just want it to be over. We just want... paradise. Dean Winchester: So what, God dies and makes you the boss, and you think you can do whatever you want? Raphael: [angry] Yes! And whatever we want, we get!
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: Hey, you okay? [pause, Cas stares straight ahead, not answering] Look, I'll be the first to tell you that this little crusade of yours is nuts, but, I do know a little something about missing fathers. Castiel: What do you mean? Dean Winchester: I mean, there were times when I was looking for my Dad when... all logic said that he was dead. But I knew, in my heart, that he was still alive. So who cares what some Ninja Turtle says, Cas, what do you believe? Castiel: I believe he's out there. Dean Winchester: Good. Then go find him. Castiel: [looking at Dean] What about you? Dean Winchester: What about me? I don't know. Honestly? I'm good. I can't believe I'm saying that, but, I am, I'm, I'm really good. Castiel: Even without your brother. Dean Winchester: [bitterly] Especially without my brother. [Castiel looks at him] I mean I spent so much time worrying about the sonofabitch... I mean, I've had more fun with you in the past twenty-four hours than I've had with Sam in years. And you're not that much fun. Funny, you know, I've been so chained by my family, but now that I'm alone... hell, I'm happy. [smiles, looks over; Castiel is gone]
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: God! Don't do that! Castiel: Hello Dean. [Dean turns around; Castiel stares at him from only inches away] Dean Winchester: Cas, we've talked about this. Personal space? Castiel: My apologies. [he backs away]
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Dean Winchester: Tell me something, you keep saying we're gonna trap this guy, but isn't that kinda like trapping a hurricane with a butterfly net? Castiel: No, it's harder. Dean Winchester: Do we have any chance of surviving this? Castiel: You do. Dean Winchester: So, odds are you're a dead man tomorrow. Castiel: Yes. Dean Winchester: Wow. Well, last night on earth. What, uh, what are your plans? Castiel: I just thought I'd sit here quietly. Dean Winchester: Dude, come on. Anything? Hm? Booze? Women? Dean Winchester: You have been with a women before? Right? Or an angel, at least? Dean Winchester: You mean to tell me you've never been up there doing a little cloud seeding? Castiel: Look, I've never had occasion, okay? Dean Winchester: All right. Lemme tell you something. There are two things that I know for certain, one: Bert and Ernie are gay. Two: you are not gonna die a virgin. Not on my watch. Let's go.
	Season 5 / Episode 3: - Free to Be You and Me Castiel: [above the sound of the storm] If God is dead, why have I returned? Who brought me back? Raphael: Did it ever occur to you that maybe, Lucifer raised you? Castiel: No. Raphael: Think about it. He needs all the rebellious angels he can find. Raphael: You know it adds up. Castiel: [to Dean] Let's go. Raphael: Castiel! Raphael: I'm warning you. Do not leave me here. I will find you. Castiel: Maybe one day. But today you're my little bitch. Dean Winchester: [following Cas] What he said!
	Season 5 / Episode 2: - Good God, Y'all! Castiel: I don't have much time, we need to talk. Dean Winchester: Okay. Castiel: Your plan, to kill Lucifer. Dean Winchester: Yeah, you wanna help? Castiel: No. It's foolish. It can't be done. Dean Winchester: Oh, well thanks for the support. Castiel: But I believe I have the solution. There is someone besides Michael, strong enough to take on Lucifer. Strong enough to stop the Apocalypse. Sam Winchester: Who's that? Castiel: The one who resurrected me and put you on that airplane. The one who began everything. God. [pause, the brothers look at him in disbelief] I'm gonna find God.
	Season 5 / Episode 2: - Good God, Y'all! Dean Winchester: God? Castiel: Yes. Dean Winchester: [disbelieving] God. Castiel: Yes! He isn't in Heaven; he has to be somewhere. Dean Winchester: Try New Mexico, I hear he's on a tortilla. [a beat as the joke goes over Castiel's head] Castiel: No, he's not on any flatbread. Dean Winchester: Listen chuckles, even if there is a God, he is either dead, and that's the generous theory... Castiel: He is out there, Dean. Dean Winchester: ...or, he's up and kicking, and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us. I mean look around you man, the world is in the toilet! We are literally at the End of Days here, and he's off somewhere, drinkin' booze out of a coconut! Alright? Castiel: Enough! This is not a theological issue, it's strategic. With God's help, we can win. Dean Winchester: It's a pipe dream, Cas. Castiel: [advancing, furious] I killed two angels this week. Those are my brothers. I'm hunted, I rebelled, and I did it, all of it, for you, and you failed. You and your brother destroyed the world, and I lost everything... for nothing. [pause, Dean and Sam look uncomfortable] So keep... your opinions... to yourself.
	Season 5 / Episode 1: - Sympathy for the Devil Zachariah: How are you...? Castiel: Alive? It's a good question. [indicating Dean and Sam] How did these two end up on that airplane? Another good question, because the angels didn't do it. I think we both know the answer, don't we? Zachariah: No... It's not possible. Castiel: [fiercely] It scares you. Well, it should. Now, put these boys back together, and go. I won't ask twice. [Zachariah disappears; the brothers recover] You two need to be more careful. Dean Winchester: Yeah, starting to get that. Your frat brothers are bigger dicks than I thought. Castiel: I don't mean the angels. Lucifer is circling his vessel, and once he takes it those hex bags won't be enough to protect you. [he touches their chests, the brothers flinch and groan] Dean Winchester: What the hell was that? Castiel: An Enochian sigil. It'll hide you from every angel in creation. Including Lucifer. Dean Winchester: What, did you just brand us with it? Castiel: No, I carved it into your ribs. [pause while they take this in] Sam Winchester: Hey Cas, were you really dead? [a beat] Castiel: Yes. Dean Winchester: Then how are you back? [Castiel looks at them for a moment, not answering, then vanishes with a sound of wingbeats]
	Season 4 / Episode 22: - Lucifer Rising Castiel: This is long foretold. This is your... Dean Winchester: Destiny? Don't give me that holy crap.
	Season 4 / Episode 22: - Lucifer Rising Dean Winchester: [reading Chuck's prophetic story] St. Mary's, what is that, a convent? Chuck Shurley: Yeah, but you guys aren't supposed to be there. You're not in this story! Castiel: Yeah well, we're making it up as we go. Chuck Shurley: What? Aw man, not again! Castiel: [to Dean] It's the archangel! I'll hold him off, I'll hold them ALL off! Just stop Sam!
	Season 4 / Episode 22: - Lucifer Rising Castiel: You can't reach him, Dean. You're outside your coverage zone. Dean Winchester: What're you gonna do to Sam? Castiel: [sighs] Nothing. He's gonna do it to himself. Dean Winchester: What's that supposed to mean? [pause, Castiel looks down] Oh right, right, gotta toe the company line. Why're you here, Cas? Castiel: We've been through much together, you and I. And I just wanted... to say, I'm sorry it ended like this. Dean Winchester: [stares at him] Sorry? [he punches Castiel in the face, turns away nursing his hand] It's Armageddon, Cas, you need a bigger word than "sorry"! Castiel: Try to understand, this is long foretold. This is your... Dean Winchester: Destiny? Don't gimme that holy crap. Destiny, God's plan, it's all a bunch of lies, you poor stupid sonofabitch! It's just a way for your bosses to keep me and keep you in line! You know what's real? People. Families. That's real. And you're gonna watch 'em all burn? Castiel: [Advancing] What is so worth saving? I see nothing but pain here! I see inside you, I see your guilt, your anger, confusion. In paradise, all is forgiven. You'll be at peace. Even with Sam. [he looks away, but Dean leans slightly, catching his eyes again] Dean Winchester: You can take your peace, and shove it up your lily-white ass. 'Cause I'll take the pain, and the guilt, I'll even take Sam as is. It's a lot better than bein' some Stepford Bitch in paradise! This is simple, Cas! [Castiel turns away] No more crap about bein' a good soldier, there is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it! [grabs Castiel and spins him back around] Look at me! You know it! Now you were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna warn me about all this before they dragged you back to Bible Camp. Help me, now. Please! Castiel: [pained] What would you have me do? Dean Winchester: Get me to Sam, we can stop this before it's too late! Castiel: I do that, we will all be hunted. We'll all be killed! Dean Winchester: [earnestly] If there is anything worth dyin' for, this is it. [pause, Castiel slowly shakes his head, looks away] Dean Winchester: [angry] You spineless, soulless sonofabitch. What do you care about dyin', you're already dead. We're done. Castiel: [pleading] Dean... Dean Winchester: We're done! [Castiel vanishes]
	Season 4 / Episode 22: - Lucifer Rising Zachariah: [appearing suddenly] Castiel! Would you mind explaining just what the Hell you're doing? [he advances threateningly; Castiel slams his palm onto the sigil; Zachariah vanishes in a flash of light] Castiel: He won't be gone long. We have to find Sam now. Dean Winchester: Where is he? Castiel: [handing Dean the knife] I don't know, but I know who does. We have to stop him, Dean. From killing Lilith. Dean Winchester: But Lilith's gonna break the final seal! Castiel: Lilith is the final seal! She dies, the End begins!
	Season 4 / Episode 18: - The Monster at the End of This Book Dean Winchester: [about Chuck being a prophet] Him? Really? Castiel: You should've seen Luke.
	Season 4 / Episode 18: - The Monster at the End of This Book Castiel: You must understand why I can't intercede. Prophets are very special, they're protected. Dean Winchester: I get that. Castiel: If anything threatens a prophet, anything at all, an archangel will appear to destroy that threat. Archangels are fierce, they're absolute, they're heaven's most terrifying weapon. Dean Winchester: And these archangels, they're tied to prophets? Castiel: Yes. Dean Winchester: So if a prophet was in the same room as a demon...? Castiel: Then the most fearsome wrath of heaven would rain down on that demon. [giving a knowing look] Just so you understand why I can't help. Dean Winchester: Thanks, Cas. Castiel: Good luck.
	Season 4 / Episode 16: - On the Head of a Pin Castiel: The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it.
	Season 4 / Episode 7: - It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester Castiel: Our orders were not to stop the summoning of Samhain. They were to do whatever you told us to do. Dean Winchester: Your orders were to follow my orders? Castiel: It was a test to see how you would perform under battlefield conditions, you might say.
	Season 4 / Episode 7: - It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester Castiel: I'm not here to judge you Dean. Dean Winchester: Then why are you here?
	Season 4 / Episode 7: - It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester Castiel: You misunderstand me Dean. I'm not like you think. I was praying that you would choose to save the town. Dean Winchester: You were? Castiel: These people, they're all my father's creations. They're works of art. And yet, even though you stopped Samhain the seal was broken and we are one step closer to Hell on Earth for all creation. And that's not an expression Dean. It's literal. You of all people should appreciate what that means. Can I tell you something if you promise not to tell another soul? Dean Winchester: Okay. Castiel: I'm not a hammer, as you say. I have questions. I-I have doubts. I don't know what is right and what is wrong anymore, whether you passed or failed here. But, in the coming months, you will have more decisions to make. I don't envy the weight that's on your shoulders, Dean. I truly don't.
