"I was on the fast track once," Zachariah said. "Employee of the month, every month, forever. And then they assigned me you. I can't close a deal on a few pathetic flannel-wearing maggots? Everybody's laughing at me."

"We're John Winchester's sons and she's a family friend," Dean stated.
"I've got brothers?" Adam asked.
"Adam doesn't have to be cursed," Dean said.
"He's a Winchester," Sam replied. "He's already cursed."
"You're not Adam," Sam realized. "You've never been Adam. You're a ghoul!"

"Let me guess," Stuart said. "Pink-slipped?"
"That obvious, huh?" Zachariah answered.
"Hmm, it takes one to know one. "Outsourcing." What was your crime against humanity?"
"Deal of the millennium. Couldn't even get the two simple 'yes'' I needed. Got to nail that bottom line, right?"

"That's all they care about upstairs, ain't it? Results, results, results. They don't know. They're not down on the ground, in the mud, nose to nose with all you pig-filthy humans, am I right?"

"I mean, what ever happened to personal loyalty? How long have I worked for these guys? Five millennia? Six?"
"Seems like it, don't it?"
"God-damned straight, it does. Two more. Zack."
"Stuart."
"What are you going to do next, Stuart?"
"Hell, I don't know. Maybe something to do with the Internet."
"Yeah?"
The room started shaking.
"Whoa. Earthquake?" Stuart asked.
"No," Zachariah replied. "My boss."
The bar shook, bottles fell over, glass shattered, and an angel's true voice spoke.
"Go ahead!" Zachariah yelled. "Get it over with. I'm ready."
Stuart and the barkeeper screamed as their eyes burned out and they died.
"Wait, what? Yes! Anything, of course! Just - just pull me back in. You won't regret it."
He listened before saying, "Thank you! Thank you!"
