Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #2/4:

Dean: Sam, you and dad, you’re the most important people in my life. And now... I never should have come back Sam, it wasn't natural, and now look whats come of it. I was dead and I should've stayed dead. You wanted to know I was feeling, well thats it. So tell me, what could you possibly say to make that alright?

Sam: Come on Dean, not now! We were just starting to be brothers again.

Sam: Elroy McGillicuddy? John: And his two loving sons.

Dean: Of course, the most troubling question is why do these people assume we're gay?

Sumi, when you vote can you vote for a whole bracket at a time and note which bracket it is? It makes it easier to track.

I seem to have lost parts of my last post.

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #3/4:

Dean: When you were little, couldn't have been more than five, you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why did we always have to move around? Where's Dad? I remember I begged you: "Quit asking, Sammy. You don't want to know." I just wanted you to be a kid, just for a little while longer. Always tried to protect you. Keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. It was just always my responsibility, you know? It's like I had one job. I had one job, and I screwed it up. I blew it, and for that, I'm sorry. I guess that’s what I do. I let down the people I love. You know, I let Dad down, and now I guess I’m just supposed to let you down, too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy? What am I supposed to do?

Dean: What's dead should stay dead.

Dean: L.A. A young girl got kidnapped by an evil cult. Sam: Yeah, and does this girl have a name? Dean: Katie Holmes Sam: That's funny... and for you, so bitchy.

Sam: If there's just one part worth saving... Bobby: Yeah. All right. (Because it's Metallicar)

All of you people who voted against any Metallicar quote in round 1 have no heart.

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #4/4:

YED: No, John. You have to sweeten the pot.

Dean: Bitch. Sam: What are you calling me a bitch for? Dean: You're supposed to say jerk. Sam: What?

Sam: Dean, did you pay attention to History class at all? Dean: Yeah, shot heard round the world, how a bill becomes a law... Sam: That's not school. That's School House Rock.

Dean: What's a P.A.? Sam: I think it's kinda like a slave.

Bracket #1

• So proud of you: about damn time, John

• Planes/clowns kill: let me show you my neuroses one-upmanship is too funny to leave out

• Sick habit: so true!

• Full-on Swayze'd: because he did!

Bracket #2

• Should've stayed dead: oh DEAN

• Let me help a bit: three seasons later, yeah, 'bout damn time

• Aquarius: snarky Dean is never not funny

• It's Darwinism!: Dean's food is always problematical, and funny

Bracket #3

• What am I supposed to do?: little, lost Dean. Go find Cas, obvs

• What's dead should stay dead: not even possible in this universe and you don't get to remember Heaven, either!

• Katie Holmes: just because the meta was so spot on (and still is)

• One part worth saving: because even Bobby couldn't hold out at that

Bracket #4

• Sweeten the pot: it still gives me chills

• Bitch/jerk redux: I'm holding out hope for this, still

• Won't trade you for smokes: might loan him out, though. IJS

• You're bossy and short: because drunk Sam is never not funny, even if JP can't act drunk worth shit

even if JP can't act drunk worth shit

Couldn't, in that scene, yeah. But IKWYDLS? With the crossroads demon? "I don't want ten years. I don't want one year. I don't want CANDY. I wanna change places with Dean." No. "WHY NOT?" Mmmm, Mama. Um. Drunk and belligerent and no brakes at all.

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #1/4:

So proud of you--still makes me teary

Planes crash/Clowns kill!--absolute perfect snippy delivery

enabling sick habit--he mocks because he loves

Dean, shut up! I'm trying--because of the fantastic delivery. It was awesome.

S2, R1, Bracket #2/4:

I should've stayed dead--glimpse of the fracture

starting to be brothers--Sam discovering the depth and breadth of his dependency on big bro. For all Sam walked away, not having him there was just unthinkable.

My name is Dean Winchester. I'm an Aquarius, I enjoy sunsets, long walks on the beach and frisky women--classic misdirection

Darwinism!--Perfect exasperation from Sam

S2, R1, Bracket #3/4:

Sammy? What am I supposed to do?--yup, still teary.

What's dead should stay dead--truer words, dude. But we never, ever learn or admit it.

I think I’m adorable--well, of course. But then so's Victor. Y'all just kiss and make up.

If there's just one part worth saving... The car as avatar.

S2, R1, Bracket #4/4:

No, John. You have to sweeten the pot.--still gives me chills, especially knowing what came after.

Supposed to say Jerk--perfectly played, and so indicative of how isolated Dean was without *his* Sam.

That's not school, that's Schoolhouse Rock.--*such* a Sam line. And still funny.

You're bossy... and short.--makes me laugh.
