Castiel quotes from Supernatural

Castiel

You only have 24 hours.

Sam

What? Why?

Castiel

Well, the answer to your question can best be expressed as a series of partial differential equations...

Bobby

Yeah, aim lower.

Bobby

You goin' to a hoedown?

Castiel

Now is it, is it customary to wear a blanket?

Dean

It's a serape. And yes, it's a... never mind, let's just go.

Castiel

I'm powerless.

Dean

You're joking.

Castiel

Something in this town is, uh... it's affecting me. I assume it's Eve.

Dean

So, wait. Mom's making you limp?

Castiel

Figuratively, yes.

Dean

How?

Castiel

I don't know, but she is.

Dean

Oh, well, that's great, 'cause without your power, you're basically just a baby in a trench coat. (Castiel looks away)

Sam

I think you hurt his feelings.

Bobby

They won't take long.

Castiel

You don't know that. They may find more wayward orphans along the way.

Bobby

Oh, don't get cute.

Castiel

Right. Pardon me for highlighting their crippling and dangerous empathetic response with "sarcasm." It's a bad idea letting them go.

Bobby

Come on. You don't let Sam and Dean Winchester do squat. They do what they gotta, you know that.

Castiel

God wants you to have freedom.

But what does he want us to do with it?

Castiel

[narrating] If I knew then what I know now, I might have said; 'It's simple. Freedom is a length of rope, God wants you to hang yourself with it.' Those first weeks back in Heaven were surprisingly difficult. Explaining freedom to angels is a bit like teaching poetry to fish.

Castiel

If you touch the Winchesters...

Crowley

Please. I heard you the first time. I promise -- nary a hair on their artfully tousled heads. Besides, I think they've proven my point for me. It's always your friends, isn't it, in the end? We try to change. We try to improve ourselves. It's always our friends who got to claw into our sides and-and hold us back. But you know what I see here? The new God [pointing at Castiel] and the new Devil, working together.

Castiel

Enough! You stop talking and get out of my sight.

Crowley

Well... Glad I came. You're welcome, by the way. You know the difference between you and me? I know what I am. What are you, Castiel? What exactly are you willing to do?

Castiel

You're the one who taught me that freedom and free will...

Dean

You're a freaking child, you know that? Just because you can do what you want, doesn't mean that you get to do whatever you want.

Dean

I don't believe a word that's coming out of your mouth.

Castiel

I thought you said that we were like family. Well, I think that too. Shouldn't trust run both ways?

Dean

Cas, I just can't.

Castiel

Dean, I do everything that you ask. I always come when you call. And I am your friend, still, despite your lack of faith in me, and now your threats. I just saved you, yet again. Has anyone but your closest kin ever done more for you? All I ask is this one thing.

Dean

Trust your plan to pop Purgatory?

Castiel

I've earned that Dean.

Castiel

I'm renegotiating our terms.

Crowley

Is that so? What terms do you propose?

Castiel

You get nothing. Not one single soul.

Crowley

Kind of noticed, it seems a bit unfairly weighted.

Dean

So what, then? Kill us?

Castiel

What a brave little ant you are. You know you're powerless; you wouldn't dare move against me again, that would be pointless. So I have no need to kill you. Not now. Besides... Once, you were my favorite pets before you turned and bit me.

Plenty speak for them and their so-called lifestyle! Media, Hollywood... Lady Gaga won't shut up, for love or money. [The congregation laughs.] Yeah, funny. But that's why we raise our voices! And picket their so-called weddings and their funerals! Someone has to speak for God.

Castiel

You're wrong -- I am utterly indifferent to sexual orientation. On the other hand, I cannot abide hypocrites like you, Reverend.

Okay, fun's over, friend--

Castiel

Tell your flock where your genitals have been before you speak for me.

And who the heck are you?

Castiel

I'm God. And he who lies in my name shall choke on his own false tongue, and his poisonous words shall betray him. For I am the Lord, your God.

You’re angry.

Dean

Well, yeah. Dude broke my brother’s head.

He betrayed you, this dude. He was your friend?

Dean

Yeah, well, he’s gone.

Did you kill him?.. [Dean looks at him] I sense that you kill alot of people..

Dean

I just know that this... whole thing couldn't be messier. You know, I used to be able to just shake this stuff off. You know, whatever it was. It might take some time, but... I always could. What Cass did... I just can’t – I don’t know why.

Well, it doesn't matter why.

Dean

Of course it matters.

No. You’re not a machine, Dean.

Your friend's name was Cass? That's an odd name.

Meg

You're an angel.

I'm sorry - is that a flirtation?
