Dean Winchester quotes from Supernatural

Dude, you even move since last night?

Dean

Sleeping is the new smoking.

What? No, it’s not. It’s sitting. Sitting is the new smoking.

Dean

That’s can’t be right.

Dean

Here's the thing, um, "Chuck" -- and I... mean no disrespect. Um, I'm guessing you came back to help with the Darkness. And that's great. That's, y'know... It's fantastic. Um... But you been gone a... A long, long time. And there's so much crap that has gone down on the Earth for thousands of years. I mean, the plagues and wars! Slaughters! And you were... I don't know, writing books? Going to fan conventions? Were you even aware, or-- or did you just tune it out?

I was aware, Dean.

Dean

But you did nothing! And again, I'm-- I'm not trying to piss you off. Y'know, I don't wanna turn into a pillar of salt.

I actually-- I didn't do that.

Dean

...Okay. People-- People pray to you. People build churches for you! They fight wars in your name, and you did nothing!

You're frustrated. I get it. Believe me, I was hands-on -- real hands-on for... Wow, ages! I was so sure if I kept stepping in, teaching, punishing, that these beautiful creatures that I created would grow up. But it only stayed the same! And I saw that I needed to step away and let my baby find its way. Being over-involved is no longer parenting; it's enabling.

Dean

But it didn't get better...

Well, I've been mulling it over and from where I sit, I think it has.

Dean

Well, from where I sit, it feels like you left us and you're trying to justify it.

I know you had a complicated upbringing, Dean. But don't confuse me with your dad.

I am sorry that you feel that I betrayed you. That I acted without cause. I'm sorry that you can't see you gave me no choice. I'm good.

You heard that, right?

We all know that you are God, um, but... Maybe could you be a little less Lordly?

But I am... I'm the Lord.

Wow. There he goes.

I did what I had to do! To create the world, I had to to lock Amara away! And when the Mark corrupted you and I saw that you posed a threat to humankind, I did the same with you.

No, you betrayed me! You gave me the Mark to lock her away and when it changed me -- when it did what the Mark inevitably does -- you threw me away.

No, son. The Mark-- You always cast a jaundiced glance at humans. The Mark didn't change you. It just made you more of what you already were.

What I was, was your son. Your child!

Why should I put you first, above all others?

[to the Winchesters] You have any idea what it's like to argue with your father when your father is God? [to Chuck] Everything is a tautology with you! Everything is "because I told you so". Everything's "it had to be done"!

Dean

Pretty sure that's all fathers.

Okay. Fine. Big picture, as God? You did what you had to do. But little picture? You sucked at being a dad.

Okay, maybe I didn't handle everything perfectly. But tell me: Could I have kept humankind safe with you on the board? I know about your little bid to replace me with the angels. Okay, new God? What would you have done about you?

That is not the point!

I can't believe I'm actually about to say this but, um... Lucifer is right. All he wants is an apology and you're too concerned about being right to give him one. But apologies aren't always about being right; sometimes, they're just about apologizing.

Dean

Yeah, and the great thing about apologies is, you don't have to mean 'em! Y'know, I lie and tell Sam I'm sorry all the time. [to Sam] Sorry. [to Chuck and Lucifer] See? That's...

Okay, enough from the peanut gallery! [Chuck teleports the Winchesters upstairs.] What? What would you have done?

It doesn't matter. You were my father and you forsook me.

I did. I was supposed to love all creation equally. I wasn't supposed to have favorites. You... You were mine. I gave you the Mark because I loved you the most. Because I thought you were strong enough to bear it. And when I saw that I was wrong... And watched my choice devour my most cherished son... I hated myself. And so, I punished you. And I am so sorry.

Dean

He's an angel.

Mary

Come again?

Dean

Angel. With a capital 'A'. You know, wings, harp.

Castiel

No, I don't have a harp.

Mary

No. I'm sorry. I just... I spent my life running from this, from hunting. And I got out. I never wanted this for you and Sam.

Dean

Mom, I-I get it. I do. If I had kids, I wouldn't want them in this. But Sam and me... saving people and hunting things, this is our life. I think we make the world a better place. I know that we do.

Dean

Sorry.

You're sorry. How sorry are you? Sorry that you fight to keep Donatello alive but when it comes to you, you just throw in the towel? Are you sorry that after all these years, our entire lives, after I've looked up to you, after I've learned from you, I've copied you, I followed you to hell and back -- are you sorry that all of that, it means nothing now?

Dean

Who's saying that?

You are! I mean, you tell me I have to kill you. I mean, you're telling me that I have to just throw away everything we stand for! Throw away faith! Throw away family! We're the guys who save the world! We don't just check out of it!

Dean

Sam, I have tried everything. Everything! I got one card left to play, and I have to play it!

You've one card today! But we'll find another tomorrow! But if you quit on us today, there will be no tomorrow! You tell me you don't know what else to do. I don't either, Dean! Not yet! But what you're doing now, it's wrong! It's quitting! I mean, look what just happened! Donatello never quit fighting, so we could help him because he never gave up! I believe in us, Dean. [Sam punches him.] I believe in us!

Dean

Hey, hey, hey--!

[Sam takes another swing and Dean drags him into a hug.]

Why don't you believe in us, too?!

Dean

Okay, Sam. Let's go home.

What?

Dean

Let's go home. Maybe Billie's wrong. Maybe. But I do believe in us. I believe in all of us. And I'll keep believing in us until I can't. Until there's absolutely no other way. But when that day comes -- if that day comes... Sam, you have to take it for what it is: The end. And you have to promise me that you'll do then what you can't do now, and that's let me go. And put me in that box. [to Castiel] You, too.

Yeah, alright. Alright. Alright...

Dean

Now, you heard me. Let's go home.

View quote →

This... This... This is why you're my favorites. You know, for the first time, I have no idea what happens next! Is this where you kill me? I mean, I could never think of an ending where I lose. But this -- after everything I've done to you... To die at the hands of Sam Winchester. Of Dean Winchester. The ultimate killer... It's kinda glorious!

Dean

Sorry, Chuck.

[Dean advances on Chuck, who cowers... But then walks past him.]

What...? What?!

Dean

See, that's not who I am. That's not who we are.

What kind of an ending is this?!

[to Jack] His power... You sure it won't come back?

JJack

It's not his power anymore.

[to Chuck] Then I think it's the ending where you're just like us. And like all the other humans you forgot about.

Dean

It's the ending where you grow old. And you get sick. And you just die.

And no one cares. And no one remembers you. You're just... forgotten.

Dean

You knew it was always gonna end like this for me. It was supposed to end like this, right? I mean, look at us! Saving people, hunting things, it's what we do!

No, no, stop! Okay? Just stop.

Dean

It's okay. It's okay, it's good. It's good. And we had one hell of a ride, man.

I will find a way, okay? I will find another way.

Dean

No. No. No, no, no, no, no. No. Bringing me back, okay, you know... You know that always ends bad.

Dean, please...

Dean

Okay. I'm fading pretty-- I'm fading pretty quick, so... There's a few things that I need you to hear, come here. Let me look at you. Hey, there he is. I am so proud of you, Sam. You know that? I've always looked up to you. Remember when we were kids? You were so damn smart-- Smart. You never, you never took any of Dad's crap, I never knew how you did that. And you're stronger than me. You always have been. Hey, did I ever tell you-- Did I ever tell you that night that I... That I ca-- That I came for you and you were at school? You know, when Dad hadn't come back from his hunting trip?

Yeah, um... Uh, the woman in white.

Dean

The woman in white, that's right. I must've stood outside your dorm for hours. Because I didn't-- I didn't know what, what you would say. I thought you'd tell me to get lost or get dead. And I didn't know what I would've done if I didn't have you. 'Cause I was so scared. I was scared. Because when it all came down to it, it was always you and me. It's always been you and me.

Don't leave me. Don't leave me. I can't do this alone.

Dean

Yes, you can.

Well, I don't want to.

Dean

Hey... I'm not leaving you. I'm gonna be with you, right here, every day. Every day you're out there and you're living and you're fighting 'cause you-- You always keep fighting, you hear me? I'll be there, every step. I love you so much, my baby brother... Oh, man. I did not think this would be the day. But it is. It is, and that's... That's okay. I need you to-- I need you to promise me. I need you... To-- to tell me it's okay. I need you to tell me it's okay.

Dean--

Dean

Look at me, look at me! I need-- I need... I need you to tell me that it's okay. You tell me, tell me that it's okay.

Dean... It's okay. You can go now.

Dean

Bye, Sam.
