- Castiel: Do you think Claire is in trouble?
- Dean Winchester: She's hanging out with a guy named Randy. She's in trouble.
- Crowley: You said you'd be back in a flash and then you disappeared. I was eight years old! Eight!
- Rowena: Oh, now you're being dramatic.
- Crowley: I didn't even have a father!
- Rowena: Of course you had a father! You were just conceived during a winter solstice orgy and it's not like I was taking names.
- Sandra Phelan: What is it that you do exactly?
- Castiel: I... um... I fight certain deadly threats to humanity.
- [awkward silence]
- Claire Novak: He's an exterminator.
- Castiel: I'm an exterminator.
- Castiel: Now I realize that there is no righteous path, it's just people trying to do their best in a world where it is far too easy to do your worst.
- Claire Novak: Wow, deep.
- Castiel: Yeah, for a doof.
- Dean Winchester: Cass, I need you to promise me something.
- Castiel: Of course.
- Dean Winchester: If I do go dark side, you gotta take me out.
- Castiel: What do you mean?
- Dean Winchester: Knife me. Smite me. Throw me into the freaking sun, whatever. And don't let Sam get in the way, because he'll try. I can't go down that road again man. I can't be that thing again.
- Dean Winchester: [to sandwich] Oh. Hello, beautiful. Oh, yeah. Mmm!
- Sam Winchester: You want some alone time with that thing?
- Dean Winchester: So you're having a midlife crisis?
- Castiel: Well, I'm extremely old, I think I'm entitled.
- Dean Winchester: This is why you called us, this is your emergency?
- Castiel: Yes!
- Dean Winchester: No Cas, an emergency is a dead body, okay or a wigged out angel, or the Apocalypse take three. Some chick bolting on you is no emergency.
- [Smiles]
- Dean Winchester: That's every Friday night for Sam.
- Sam Winchester: Dude!
- Dean Winchester: There's some stuff you just gotta let go. Okay? The people you let down, the ones you can't save... You gotta forget about 'em, for your own good.
- Castiel: Is that what you do?
- Dean Winchester: That's the opposite of what I do. But I ain't exactly a role model.
- Crowley: She was a horrible mother. Did I tell you the time that she almost traded me for three pigs. Three! I was an attractive child, I could juggle. I was worth five pigs, at least.
- Castiel: I thought I could make it up to her.
- Sam Winchester: I don't think you can. I mean, Jimmy was her father. And to some people, that's... that's everything, you know?
- Castiel: No. I don't. I never knew my father. He was distant, to say the least.
- Salinger: How about I give you a break? And you give me the girl.
- Randy: That's a joke, right? Claire's like family to me.
- Salinger: [laughs] Please. I know the con, all right? You find some kid with major league daddy issues, and then you get her to steal for you. Cut the proud papa act. I'll make you a good deal.
- Randy: Like I said, Claire's family.
- [pause]
- Randy: So it better be a damn good deal.
- Claire Novak: [Emotional] I used to pray to you Castiel, every night. I would beg you to bring him home safe.
- Castiel: [Softly] I know.
- Claire Novak: You know... My father was a good man. In what messed up world does he have to die and you get to live?
- Castiel: Where's your mother?
- Claire Novak: About a few months after you, she took off. Dropped me off at my grandma's and went to go "find herself." I guess she's still looking.
- Sandra Phelan: I'm not trying to be the bad guy here. I'm not. But until Claire turns 18, she is my responsibility. I know you're trying to do what you think is best. I know you wanna be her friend.
- Castiel: I do.
- Sandra Phelan: And that's our problem, Mr. Novak. Claire's troubled. The last few years have not been easy for her. And she doesn't need a friend. She needs a father.
- Claire Novak: You changed. The Castiel I met, he was crappy, like super stuck-up and a dick and you just wanted to punch in his stupid angel face.
- Castiel: [Sheepish] Don't think I was that bad.
- Claire Novak: You totally were. And now you're just, I don't know, nicer. Kind of a doof... no offence.
- Claire Novak: My Dad, is he still in there?
- Castiel: [Sadly] No. The human soul it can only occupy a body while it retains a certain structural integrity, and this vessel it was, it was ripped apart on a sub-atomic level by an archangel.
- Claire Novak: Then how are you-...
- Castiel: I was reassembled.
- [pause]
- Castiel: Your father is in Heaven.
- Claire Novak: Well, yay for him. Anyway good talk, you can get the hell out of my life now.
- Castiel: You were going to *rob* that convenience store?
- Claire Novak: So?
- Castiel: "So?" So... it's wrong.
- Claire Novak: You wanna talk to me about wrong?
- [Voice breaks]
- Claire Novak: You killed my dad.
