Dean Winchester Quotes

05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Dean Winchester: I'm worried, man. What that SOB did to Cas. Y'know, where is he? [looks around the motel room, Sam is missing] Sam? Where are you? [calling Sam's cell as he walks out to the car] Sam, it's me. [getting in the car] Where the hell did you go?
Sam Winchester: Dean? [Dean looks around, the car is empty]
Dean Winchester: Sam? Where are you?
Sam Winchester: I don't know. [Dean notices a console in the dash a la Knight Rider, Sam's voice is coming from it] Oh crap. I don't think we killed the Trickster. [cut to Dean driving Sam a la Knight Rider opening]
Dean Winchester: Okay, stake didn't work. So what, this another trick?
Sam Winchester: I don't know. Maybe the stake didn't work because it's not a trickster?
Dean Winchester: What do you mean?
Sam Winchester: You heard Cas. He said this thing was too powerful to *be* a trickster.
Dean Winchester: Yeah, and did you notice the way he looked at Cas? Almost like he knew him.
Sam Winchester: And how pissed he got when you brought up Michael and Lucifer.
Dean Winchester: Son of a bitch.
Sam Winchester: What?
Dean Winchester: I think I know what we're dealin' with.
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Sam Winchester: Dean?
Dean Winchester: [irritably] What?
Sam Winchester: That, uh, feels really... uncomfortable. [Dean slams the trunk lid down] Ow.
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Sam Winchester: [stuck as the Impala] You sure this is gonna work?
Dean Winchester: No but I have no other ideas. [yells at the sky] All right you sonofabitch! Uncle! We'll do it!
Sam Winchester: Should I honk? [the Trickster appears]
Trickster: Wow. Sam, get a load of the rims on you.
Sam Winchester: Eat me.
Trickster: [whistles] Okay, boys. Ready to go quietly?
Dean Winchester: Wo-wo-woah, not so fast. Nobody's goin' anywhere until Sam has opposable thumbs.
Trickster: What's the difference? Satan's gonna ride his ass one way or another. [Dean gives him a look, the Trickster snaps his fingers, Sam steps out of the car] Happy?
Dean Winchester: Tell me one thing. Why didn't the stake kill you?
Trickster: I *am* the Trickster.
Dean Winchester: But maybe you're not. [Sam flicks a lighter, throws it down; a ring of holy fire goes up around the Trickster] Maybe you've always been an angel.
Trickster: [laughs] A *what*? Somebody slip a mickey in your power shake, kid?
Dean Winchester: I'll tell you what. You just jump out of the holy fire and, we'll call it our mistake. [Trickster laughs, then turns sober and the scene flips back to the empty warehouse]
Trickster: [claps] Well played, boys. Well played. Where'd you get the holy oil?
Dean Winchester: Well you might say we pulled it outta Sam's ass.
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Trickster: Where'd I screw up?
Sam Winchester: You didn't. Nobody gets the jump on Cas like you did.
Dean Winchester: Mostly it was the way you talked about Armageddon.
Trickster: Meaning?
Dean Winchester: Well, call it personal experience, but nobody gets that angry unless they're talkin' about their own family.
Sam Winchester: So which one are you? Grumpy, Sneezy or Douchey?
Trickster: Gabriel, okay? They call me Gabriel.
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Dean Winchester: Okay, Gabriel. How does an Archangel become a trickster?
Trickster: My own, private, witness protection. I skipped outta Heaven, had a face transplant, carved out my own little corner of the world. 'Til you two screwed it all up.
Dean Winchester: And what'd Daddy say when you ran off and joined the pagans?
Trickster: Daddy doesn't say anything about anything.
Sam Winchester: Then what happened? Why'd you ditch?
Dean Winchester: Well do you blame him? I mean his brothers are heavy-weight douche-nozzles.
Trickster: [furious] Shut your cake-hole. You don't know anything about my family. I *loved* my father, and my brothers. Loved them! But watching them turn on each other? Tear at each other's throats? I couldn't bear it! Okay? So I left. And now it's happening all over again.
Sam Winchester: Then help us stop it!
Trickster: It can't be stopped!
Dean Winchester: You want to see the end of the world?
Trickster: I want it to be *over*! I have to sit back and watch my brothers kill each other, thanks to you two! Heaven, Hell, I don't care who wins! I just want it to be over!
Sam Winchester: It doesn't have to be like that! There has to be some way to, to pull the plug!
Trickster: [laughing] Oh-ho-ho-ho, you do *not* know my family. What you guys call the Apocalypse, I used to call Sunday dinner! That's why there's no stopping this. Because this isn't about a war, it's about two brothers who loved each other, and *betrayed* each other! You think you'd be able to relate!
Sam Winchester: [confused] What're you talkin' about?
Trickster: [looks from one to the other, whistles] You sorry sonsabitches. Why do you think you two are the vessels? Think about it! Michael, the big brother, loyal to an absent father. And Lucifer, the little brother, rebellious of Daddy's plan. You were born to this, boys. It's your destiny! It was *always* you! As it is in Heaven, so it must be on Earth! One brother has to kill the other.
Dean Winchester: So what the hell are you saying?
Trickster: Why do you think I've always taken such an interest in you? Because from the moment Dad flipped on the lights around here, we knew it was all gonna end with you. Always.
Dean Winchester: No. That's not gonna happen.
Trickster: [sadly] I'm sorry. But it is. Guys. I wish this were a TV show. Easy answers, endings wrapped up in a bow. But this is real. And it's gonna end bloody for all of us. That's just how it's gotta be.
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Trickster: So, boys, now what? Stare at each other for the rest of eternity?
Dean Winchester: Well first of all you're gonna bring Cas back from wherever you stashed him.
Trickster: [sarcastic] Oh am I?
Dean Winchester: [angry] Yeah. Or we're going to *dunk* you in some holy oil, and deep-fry ourselves an archangel! [Gabriel snaps his fingers, Castiel appears, injured and breathing hard]
Dean Winchester: Cas, you okay?
Castiel: [glaring at the archangel] I'm fine. Hello Gabriel.
Trickster: Hey bro. How's the search for Daddy going? Let me guess: awful.
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Dean Winchester: Okay, we're outta here. C'mon Sam. [they start towards the door]
Trickster: [in growing panic] Uh... okay. Hey, guys? So, so what? Huh? You're just gonna, you're gonna leave me here forever?
Dean Winchester: No. We're not. Because we don't *screw* with people the way you do. And for the record? This isn't about some prize fight between your brothers, or some destiny that can't be stopped. This is about *you* bein' too afraid to stand up to your family! [Gabriel stares at him; Dean pulls the extinguisher lever, putting out the holy fire] Don't say I never did anything for you!
05x08 - Changing Channels Season 5 / Episode 8: - Changing Channels

Dean Winchester: No guts, no glory.
05x07 - The Curious Case of Dean Winchester Season 5 / Episode 7: - The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

Bobby: Well, I guess we can get the van loaded. [Dean holds up a finger, clears his throat]
Dean Winchester: I shouldn't have called you an idiot.
Bobby: [sarcastic] Which time?
Dean Winchester: I'm sorry. I mean actually I, I get it. Gettin' old ain't a bachelor party. And dealin' with the crap you gotta deal with...
Bobby: Don't you go on pity patrol.
Dean Winchester: I'm not. I'm not, I just, I'm sayin' y'know, if I was in your shoes...
Bobby: You'd *never* stop complaining.
Dean Winchester: Fair enough. [pause] You're not useless, Bobby.
Bobby: Okay. Good talk. [makes to roll out the door]
Dean Winchester: No, wait a minute, listen to me. [Dean sits down in front of him] You don't stop bein' a soldier 'cause you got wounded in battle. Okay, no matter what shape you're in, bottom line is, you're *family*. And I don't know if you've noticed, but me an' Sam, we don't have much left. I can't do this without you. I can't. So don't you *dare* think about checkin' out. I don't want to hear that again.
Bobby: [quietly] Okay.
Dean Winchester: Okay. Good.
Bobby: Thanks. Now, we done feelin' our feeling's? 'Cause I'd like to get outta this room before we both start growin' lady parts.
Dean Winchester: Yeah, we're done. Let's go, Ironsides.
Bobby: [sarcastic] Oh, *that* one's stickin', huh? [Dean smiles]

Dean Winchester: Our motel isn't in that circle, by any chance?
Sam Winchester: Yeah, why? [Dean shows Sam his hairy palm] uh, dude, fu... that's not what I think it is, is it?
Dean Winchester: I got bored, that nurse was hot.
Sam Winchester: You know, you can go blind from that too.
Dean Winchester: Give me five minutes, we'll go check out that house. [walks away]
Sam Winchester: Hey! Do not use my razor! [Dean smirks]

05x04 - The End Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End

Dean Winchester: [Future Dean] Okay. If you're me... then tell me something only I would know.
Dean Winchester: Rhonda Hurley. We were, uh... 19. She made us try on her panties. They were pink. And satiny. And you know what? We kind of liked it.
Dean Winchester: [Future Dean] Touché.
05x04 - The End Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End

05x04 - The End Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End

Dean Winchester: Hey, uh, me. Can I talk to you for a second? [the two Deans move away, the others check their weapons] Tell me what's goin' on.
Future Dean: What?
Dean Winchester: I know you. You're lying to these people, and to me.
Future Dean: Is that so?
Dean Winchester: Yeah. See, I know your lying expressions. I've seen 'em in the mirror. Now there's something you're not telling us.
Future Dean: I don't know what you're talking about.
Dean Winchester: Oh really. Well, I don't seem to be the only member of your posse with some questions, so uh, maybe I'll just take my doubts over to them. [he starts to walk away]
Future Dean: [stopping him] Okay wo-wo-wo-woah wait.
Dean Winchester: What?
Future Dean: Take a look around you, man. This place should be white-hot with Croats. Where are they?
Dean Winchester: [realizing] They cleared a path for us. Which means that this is...
Future Dean: ...a trap. Exactly.
Dean Winchester: Well then we can't go through the front...
Future Dean: Oh we're not. [glancing at the others] They are. They're the decoys. You and me, we're goin' in through the back.
Dean Winchester: [horrified] You mean you're gonna feed your friends into a meat grinder? Cas too? You want to use their *deaths* as a diversion? [the other Dean looks away] Oh man, something is broken in you. You're making decisions I would never make. I wouldn't sacrifice my friends!
Future Dean: You're right. *You* wouldn't. It's one of the main reasons we're in this mess, actually.
Dean Winchester: These people count on you, they trust you!
Future Dean: They trust me to kill the Devil, and to save the world. And that's exactly what I'm gonna do!
Dean Winchester: No. Not like this you're not, I'm not gonna let you!
Future Dean: Oh really.
Dean Winchester: Yeah! [Future Dean punches him in the face, knocking him out]
05x04 - The End 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.
05x04 - The End 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.
05x04 - The End Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End

Lucifer: [after killing future Dean, turns around and sees past Dean] Oh. Hello Dean. Aren't you a surprise. [lightning flashes, Lucifer pops up behind him] You've come a long way to see this, haven't you?
Dean Winchester: Well go ahead. Kill me.
Lucifer: Kill you? [glances around Dean at the body of future Dean] Don't you think that would be a little... redundant? [sighs] I'm sorry. It must be painful. Speaking to me in this - shape. But it had to be your brother. It had to be. [he reaches for Dean's shoulder, Dean pulls away, Lucifer's arm drops] You don't have to be afraid of me, Dean. What do you think I'm going to do? [walks past Dean, fingers a rose]
Dean Winchester: [angrily] I don't know, maybe deep-fry the planet?
Lucifer: [turning back] Why? Why would I want to destroy this stunning thing? *Beautiful* in a trillion different ways! The last, *perfect* handiwork of God? [pause] You ever hear the story of how I fell from grace?
Dean Winchester: Oh good God, you're not gonna tell me a bedtime story are you? My stomach's almost outta bile.
Lucifer: You know why God cast me down? Because I *loved* him. More than anything. And then God created... [huffs a small laugh] You. The little, hairless apes. And then he asked all of us to bow down before *you*. To love *you*, more than Him! And I said, Father, I can't. I said these human beings, were flawed, murderous. And for that, God had Michael cast me into Hell! Now tell me, does the punishment fit the crime? Especially when I was right. Look what six billion of you have done to this thing. And how many of you blame me for it. [pause]
Dean Winchester: You're not fooling me, you know that? With this sympathy for the Devil crap? I know what you are.
Lucifer: What am I?
Dean Winchester: You're the same thing only bigger. The same brand of cockroach I been squashing my whole life. An ugly, evil, belly-to-the-ground supernatural piece of crap. The only difference between them and you? Is the size of your ego. [pause, Lucifer smiles]
Lucifer: I like you, Dean. I get what the other angels see in you. Good-bye. We'll meet again soon. [starts walking away]
Dean Winchester: [fiercely] You better kill me now!
Lucifer: [stops, turns back] Pardon?
Dean Winchester: You better kill me now! Or I swear, I will find a way to kill you! And I won't stop!
Lucifer: [quietly] I know you won't. I know you won't say yes to Michael either. And I know you won't kill Sam. Whatever you do, you will always end up... here. No matter what choices you make, whatever details you alter, *we* will always end up... here. [a tear drops from Dean's eye] I win. So I win.
Dean Winchester: You're wrong.
Lucifer: See you in five years, Dean. [he vanishes with a clap of thunder]
05x04 - The End Season 5 / Episode 4: - The End

Chuck Shurley: So, you're really from '09?
Dean Winchester: Yeah, afraid so.
Chuck Shurley: Some free advice. You ever get back there, you hoard toilet paper. You understand me? Hoard it. Hoard it like it's made of gold. Because it is.
Dean Winchester: Thanks, Chuck.
Chuck Shurley: Oh, you'll thank me, all right. Mark my words.
05x03 - Free to Be You and Me 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?
05x03 - Free to Be You and Me 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.
05x03 - Free to Be You and Me 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.
05x03 - Free to Be You and Me 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.
05x03 - Free to Be You and Me 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.
05x03 - Free to Be You and Me 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.
