“Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester” - 04X02
SORRY IT'S SO LATE :(
Q U O T E S
Sam Winchester: You built a panic room??
Bobby Singer: I had a weekend off.
Dean Winchester: Bobby, you're awesome.
Dean Winchester: You know, Michael Landon. Not dicks.
Dean Winchester: Look, all I know is that I was not... groped by an angel.
Bobby Singer: It all says an angel can snatch a soul from the pit.
Dean Winchester: What else?
Bobby Singer: What else what?
Dean Winchester: What else could do it?
Bobby Singer: Airlift your ass out of the hotbox? As far as I can tell, nothin'.
Dean Winchester: I'm trying to come up with a theory here, okay? Work with me.
Sam Winchester: Dean, we have a theory.
Dean Winchester: Yeah, one with a little less fairy dust on it, please.
Bobby Singer: I think I got everything we need here at the house.
Dean Winchester: Any chance you got everything we need here in this room?
Bobby Singer: So you thought our luck was gonna start now all of a sudden?
Dean Winchester: I mean, I don't like gettin' singled out at birthday parties, much less by God.
Sam Winchester: Okay, well, too bad, Dean. Because I think He wants you to strap on your party hat.
Castiel: The rising of the witnesses is one of the 66 seals.
Dean Winchester: Okay, I'm guessing that's not a show at Sea World.
Castiel: Those seals are being broken by Lilith.
Dean Winchester: She did the spell. She rose the witnesses.
Castiel: Mm-hmm. And not just here. Twenty other hunters are dead.
Dean Winchester: [understanding] Of course. She picked victims that the hunters couldn't save so that they would barrel right after us.
Castiel: Lilith has a certain sense of humor.
Dean Winchester: Well, we put those spirits back to rest.
Castiel: It doesn't matter. The seal was broken.
Dean Winchester: Why break the seal anyway?
Castiel: You think of the seals as locks on a door.
Dean Winchester: Okay, last one opens and...
Castiel: Lucifer walks free.
Dean Winchester: [stares, stunned] Lucifer? But I thought Lucifer was just a story they told. At demon Sunday school. There's no such thing.
Castiel: Three days ago, you thought there was no such thing as me. Why do you think we're here walking among you now for the first time in 2,000 years?
Dean Winchester: [quietly] To stop Lucifer.
Castiel: [nods] That's why we've arrived.
Dean Winchester: Well, bang-up job so far. Stellar work with the witnesses. That's nice.
Castiel: We tried. There are other battles, other seals. Some we'll win, some we'll lose. This one we lost.
[Dean snorts derisively. Castiel moves closer to him]
Castiel: Our numbers are not unlimited. Six of my brothers died in the field this week. You think the armies of heaven should just follow you around? There's a bigger picture here.
[leans in even closer; Dean looks uncomfortable. With intensity:]
Just for
mrscastielftw ...
Castiel: You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of Hell. I can throw you back in.
Dean Winchester: I thought angels were supposed to be guardians. Fluffy wings, halos - you know, Michael Landon. Not dicks.
Castiel: Read the Bible. Angels are warriors of God. I'm a soldier.
T R I V I A
The title of the episode, “Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester,“ is a reference to Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume. Published in 1970, it followed a young girl’s exploration of her spirituality, as she also deals with the other matters of adolescence like getting her period and her search for identity. The title may also be in reference to the cartoon "The Venture Bros." Season 1 Episode 9 "Are you there, God? It's me, Dean", an obvious reference to the work cited above.
Dean: Look, all I know is that I was not... groped by an angel.
This is a reference to the series Touched by an Angel, where angels are sent by God to help people solve their problems.
Dean suggests they go and visit the Grand Canyon, the Star Trek Experience and the Bunny Ranch.
Bobby: If you're going to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!
This is a quote from the spaghetti Western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Dean: You know, Michael Landon. Not dicks.
In the television series Highway to Heaven, Michael Landon played angel Jonathan Smith who was sent to Earth where he teamed up with cop Mark Gordon in order to help people.
Misha Collins who plays Castiel reports that "Kripke wanted to base the look of the character on the comic book character ‘Constantine’" Source. John Constantine is an occult detective who features in the Hellblazer comic book series, and the film Constantine.
According to Castiel, the episode takes place three days after he raised Dean from Hell.
Bobby’s panic room is iron coated with salt and protected by Devil's trap (symbol). He has the iconic poster of Bo Derek from the movie 10 on the wall.
Bobby has a hex box in an upstairs linen closet. In the kitchen, the cutlery drawer has a false bottom which contains hemlock, opium and wormwood.
Castiel says twenty other hunters were killed by the Witnesses and six Angels died in other battles occuring simultaneously involving the aforementioned 66 seals.
The grimoire Bobby reads from is written in Syriac script.
The music played during the "Previously" part of the episode, is Billy Squier's Lonely Is The Night.
