Meg: I can see where your boys get there good looks. But considering what they say about you, I thought you'd be taller. Meg: Well aren't you a chatty one. You want to get down to business. Meg: Fine, why don't you hand over the gun? John Winchester: If I give you the gun, how the hell do I get out of here?

	Season 1 / Episode 20: - Dead Man's Blood Sam Winchester: Dad, we don't even know what these things are yet. John Winchester: They were what Daniel Elkins killed best... vampires. Dean Winchester: Vampires? I thought there was no such thing. Sam Winchester: You never even mentioned them, Dad. John Winchester: I thought they were extinct. I thought Elkins and others had wiped them out. I was wrong. Most vampire lore is crap. A cross won't repel them, sunlight won't kill them, and neither will a stake to the heart. But the bloodlust, that part's true. They need fresh human blood to survive. They were once people, so you won't know it's a vampire until it's too late.

If it's me, I'll ring once and then call back. You got that? Young Dean: Mmhmm. Don't answer the phone unless it rings once first. John Winchester: Come on, Dean, look alive. This stuff's important. Young Dean: I know, it's just, we've gone over it, like, a million times, and you know I'm not stupid. John Winchester: I know you're not. But it only takes one mistake, you got that? [Dean nods] All right, if I'm not back Sunday night? Young Dean: Call Pastor Jim. John Winchester: Lock the doors and windows, close the shades, and most important... Young Dean: Watch out for Sammy. John Winchester: All right, if somethin' tries to bust in? Young Dean: Shoot first, ask questions later. John Winchester: That's my man.
	Season 1 / Episode 9: - Home Missouri Moseley: That boy, he has such powerful abilities. Why he couldn't sense his own father, I have no idea. John Winchester: Mary's spirit, did you really think she saved the boys? Missouri Moseley: I do.
	Season 1 / Episode 9: - Home Missouri Moseley: John Winchester, I could just slap you! Why don't you go and talk to your children? John Winchester: I want to. You have no idea how much I want to see 'em but I can't, not yet. Not until I know the truth.
