Quotes

“	Castiel: Mary, you do belong here. Mary: Goodnight, Castiel.	”
	— Castiel and Mary

“	Rowena: A druidic glyph. I'm using a hybrid spell of my own device -- Book of the Damned and Celtic magic. It should give your vessel the resiliency and strength of the mightiest tree. Lucifer: Oh. There's a woody joke in there somewhere.	”
	— Rowena and Lucifer
