Quotes 

• Castiel : No. No demon can overpower that trap. I made it myself. We've been friends for a long time, Uriel. Fought by each other's sides, served together, away from home for what seems like forever. We're brothers, Uriel. Pay me that respect. Tell me the truth.

  Uriel : The truth is, the only thing that can kill an angel, is another angel.

  [Uriel's angelic blade slides into his hand] 

  Castiel : You.

  Uriel : I'm afraid so.

  Castiel : And you broke the devil's trap, set Alastair on Dean.

  Uriel : Alastair should never have been taken alive. Really inconvenient, Cass. Yes, I did turn the screw a little. Alastair should have killed Dean and escaped, and you should have gone on happily scapegoating the demons.

  Castiel : For the murders of our kin?

  Uriel : Not murders, Castiel. No. My work is conversion. How long have we waited here? How long have we played this game by rules that don't make any sense?

  Castiel : It is our Father's world, Uriel.

  Uriel : Our Father? He stopped being that, if he ever was, the moment he created them. Humanity, his favorites. This whining, puking larva.

  Castiel : Are you trying to convert me?

  Uriel : I wanted you to join me. And I still do. With you, we can be powerful enough to...

  Castiel : To?

  Uriel : To raise our brother.

  Castiel : Lucifer.

  Uriel : You do remember him? How strong he was? How beautiful? And he didn't bow to humanity. He was punished for defending us. Now, you wanna believe in something Cass? Believe in him.

  Castiel : Lucifer is not God.

  Uriel : God isn't God anymore. He doesn't care what we do. I am proof of that.

  Castiel : But this? What were going to do Uriel? Were you gonna kill the whole garrison?

  Uriel : I only killed the ones that said no. Others have joined me, Cass. Now, please, brother, don't fight me. Help me. Help me spread the word. Help me bring on the apocalypse. All you have to do, is be unafraid.

  Uriel : For the first time in a long time, I am.

  [Castiel attacks Uriel, a fight ensues in which Uriel gains the upperhand] 

  Castiel : You can't win, Uriel. I still serve God.

  Uriel : [Uriel ends every sentence with a punch to Castiel's face]  You haven't even met the man. There is no Will. No Wrath. No God.

  Anna Milton : [stabs Uriel through the throat from behind and then whispers in his ear]  Maybe or maybe not, but there's still *me*.

• Castiel : The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it.

• Castiel : [Sitting next to Dean's bed in the hospital room]  You alright?

  Dean Winchester : [Voice rough after being taken off the ventilator]  No thanks to you.

  Castiel : You need to be more careful.

  Dean Winchester : You need to learn how to manage a damn Devil's trap.

  Castiel : That's not what I mean. Uriel is dead.

  Dean Winchester : Was it the demons?

  Castiel : Disobedience. He was working against us.

  Dean Winchester : [after a pause]  Is it true? Did I break the first seal? Did I start all this?

  Castiel : Yes. When we discovered Lilith's plan for you, we laid siege to Hell. And we fought our way to get to you before you...

  Dean Winchester : Jump started the apocalypse?

  Castiel : But we were too late.

  Dean Winchester : [Roughly, ashamed]  Why didn't you just leave me there then?

  Castiel : It's not... blame that falls on you, Dean. It's fate. The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it. You have to stop it.

  Dean Winchester : Lucifer? The apocalypse? What does that mean? Hey! Don't you go disappearing on me, you son of a bitch. What does that mean?

  Castiel : I don't know.

  Dean Winchester : Bull!

  Castiel : I don't. Dean, they don't tell me much. I know... our fate... rests... with you.

  Dean Winchester : [His voice is strained, fighting soreness and tears]  Well, then you guys are screwed. I can't do it, Cas. It's too big. Alistair was right. I'm not all here. I'm not str- I'm not strong enough.

  [He turns his head away, a tear falling] 

  Dean Winchester : I guess I'm not the man either of our dads wanted me to be. Find someone else. It's not me.

  [Another tear falls as Dean lays silent and defeated] 

• Castiel : Strange. Strange how a leaky pipe, can undo the work of angels, when we ourselves are supposed to be the agents of fate.

• Dean Winchester : So, you need our help hunting a demon?

  Castiel : Not quite. We have Alistair.

  Dean Winchester : Great. He should be able to name your trigger man.

  Castiel : But, he won't talk. Alistair's will is very strong. We've arrived at an impasse.

  Dean Winchester : Yeah, well, he's like a black belt in torture. I mean, you guys are outta your league.

  Uriel : That's why we've come to his student. You happen to be the most qualified interrogator we've got.

  [Realization dawns on Dean and he swallows hard and lowers his head] 

  Castiel : Dean. You're our best hope.

  Dean Winchester : No.

  [Looks up at Cas] 

  Dean Winchester : No way. You can't ask me to do this, Cas. Not *this*.

  Uriel : [Moves closer to Dean]  Who said anything... about asking?

  [Dean looks at Sam. When Sam looks over at Dean, he sees that he's disappeared with Cas and Uriel] 

  Sam Winchester : Dammit!

• Dean Winchester : [Sam and Dean enter their motel room and turn on the lights to find Castiel and Uriel waiting for them]  Oh, c'mon.

  Uriel : You're needed.

  Dean Winchester : Needed? We just got *back* from needed!

  Uriel : [low and menacing]  Now you mind your tone with me.

  Dean Winchester : No, you mind your damn tone with us.

  [Takes a step towards Uriel but Sam cautions him to stop] 

  Sam Winchester : We just back from Pamela's funeral.

  Dean Winchester : Pamela. You know, psychic Pamela? You remember her. Cas, you remember her. You- you burned her eyes out. Remember that? Good times! Yeah, then she died saving one of your precious seals. So, maybe you can stop pushing us around like pieces on a chess board for FIVE *FREAKIN'* MINUTES!

  Uriel : [Menacing]  We raised you outta Hell... for *our* purposes.

  Dean Winchester : [Not backing down]  Yeah, what were those again? What exactly do you want from me?

  Uriel : Start with gratitude.

  Dean Winchester : [a look of disgusted disbelief crosses his face]  Oh...

  Castiel : Dean, we know this is difficult to understand.

  Uriel : And we

  [silences Cas with a look] 

  Uriel : *don't* care.

  [Dean looks at Cas, but Cas stays silent] 

• Dean Winchester : [to Cas]  Tell Uriel, or whoever... you do not want me doin' this. Trust me.

  Castiel : Want it. No. But, I've been told we need it.

  Dean Winchester : [Low and rough, a look of dread on his face]  You ask me to open that door and walk through it...? You will not like what walks back out.

• Dean Winchester : [to Uriel]  I want to talk to Cas. Alone.

  Uriel : [after a pause]  I think I'll go seek revelation. We might have some further orders.

  Dean Winchester : [With a snarky smile]  Well, get some donuts while you're out.

  Uriel : [chuckles. to cas-]  this one just won't quit. i'm starting to like you boy.

  [whoosh] 

  Dean Winchester : you guys don't walk enough, you'll start to get flabby.

  [cas gives him a puzzled look] 

  Dean Winchester : you know, i'm starting to think huckles has a better sense of humor than you do.

  Castiel : Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. ask anyone.

• Castiel : [Sam is watching Dean on a ventilator in his hospital bed. Castiel comes to the door and Sam follows him out]  Sam...

  Sam Winchester : Get in there and heal. Miracle! Now!

  Castiel : I can't.

  Sam Winchester : You and Uriel *put* him in there...

  Castiel : No.

  Sam Winchester : - because you can't keep a simple Devil's trap together!
