There are more Sam quotes in this round that resonate for me than in previous seasons. Maybe they wrote for him differently? Or maybe because it's all about them working to save Dean, which means Sam's angsting, and I'm a sucker for brotherly angst.

(I have no regrets for my earlier vote. None.)

Dean: What?

Sam: It's just, I wish you would drop the show and be my brother again, 'cause... just 'cause. -- One, it's a good quote. Two, Bela shot Sam and didn't die? Right.
