Let's face it. The cops tend to get in the Winchester brothers' way more than help them, but they have delivered some awesome lines. From recurring characters like Sheriff Mills and Agent Henriksen to one-off unnamed sheriffs like the one in Bloodlust, law enforcement has not only give the hunters important information, they have made us laugh too.

Sound off in the comments below with your favorites and don't forget to keep nominating your favorite quotes in our nomination forms for the big quotes contest which will get started next week.

Now these guys get all my kudos! Some of these guys only had 2-3 lines but they made the most of them. Pretty impressive if out of 172 episodes, I still remember these guys who usually got less than 10 minutes of screen time. I'm hoping for a Supernatural cop convention where we can see them all again. Especially those is the dueling mustaches contest.
ReplyDeleteThe Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo quotes: Speaking of fun, this episode is one of my favorites from season 7. It holds up well in the rewatch. I like this introduction to Charlie although it does lose points for relegating Dean and Sam to the van. All in all the wit and references fly fast and furious in this one.
15. Sam: "Did we just…steal a…a hunk of red clay?" Dean: "That's a good question. Why don't we answer that a few thousand miles away from here though?"
14. Charlie: "I left your dumb flask on the back seat by the way. Worst good luck charm ever."
13. Charlie: "Dick Roman gave me an assignment." Harry: "Is that…good?" Charlie: "It means the Eye of Sauron is on me." Harry: "Well if you need anything I'll be back in the Shire."
12. Roman: "You're kind of completing me right now Charlie."
11. Bobby: "Damn it. It's hard to stay focused. I'm still kind of worn out." Dean: "You've been pretty busy for a dead guy."
10. Dean: "Yeah I know. Doesn't mean I've got to be happy about sending in freaking Veronica Mars."
9. Dean: "She's kind of like the little sister I never wanted."
8. E-mail: "My drive is full of compromising info….your new aliases, hangouts, where you stored your car…" Dean: "Baby?"
7. Sam: "Hermoine…well…uh, alright did Hermoine run when Sirius Black was in trouble or when Voldemort attacked Hogwarts?" Dean: "Seriously?' Sam: "Shut up."
6. Dean: "Give him a little sneak peek there. All tattoos are sexy." Charlie: "Mine is Princess Leia in a slave bikini straddling a 20-sided die. I was drunk. It was Comic-Con." Dean: "We've all been there."
5. Charlie: "I feel dirty." Dean: "You and me both sister."
4. Sam: "Alright let's see where Frank's drive is." Dean: "Perfect, it's in the middle of the Death Star."
3. Sam: "It's an e-mail…from Frank." Dean: "Frank's alive?" Bobby: "That jacka**, always stealing my thunder."
2. Harry: "I'll get us some coffee. I assume you want some crack in yours."
1. Charlie: "I'm gonna kick it in the a**." Sam: "Good girl." Dean: "Oh you go Dumbledork."
Reading is Fundamental quotes: And this is where season 7 officially went to hell. A mess of pretentious writing with Edlund at his "clever" worst. The only good things in this episode were the introduction of Kevin (awesome) and Meg, who always makes things better. Even after season 8, this one will be fighting for a place on my top 10 worst list.
ReplyDelete15. Dean: "So Kevin you can…uh, read the chicken scratch on the God rock huh?"
14. Dean: "Rufus' cabin then?" Sam: "Yeah." Dean: "This time I'm doing the shopping."
13. Dean: "Alright….that sound like somebody saying, 'No wait stop' to you?" Sam: "Uh, yeah, yeah." Dean: "Yeah…oh well."
12. Meg: "We've been over this. I don't like poetry. Put up or shut up."
11. Price: "Baffled? No I'm not baffled. Frankly I'm offended. This is not the way weather behaves."
10. Dean: "Crowley ain't the problem this year." Meg: "When are you gonna get it? Crowley's always the problem."
9. Kevin: "I don't want to be a prophet." Dean: "No you don't at all."
8. Edgar: "I don't believe that's true…rock beats scissors. Leviathan beats angel."
7. Meg: "We need better angel-proofing now."
6. Sam: "Metatron..you saying a Transformer wrote that?" Dean: "No that's Megatron." Sam: "What?" Dean: "The Transformer…it's Megatron." Sam: "What?"
5. Meg: "Hey Seacrest guess what…not a nurse. Just playing one of TV. Want answers? Start driving."
4. Kevin: "I can't live in the desert. I…I'm applying to Princeton."
3. Sam: "You might want to add a little Thorazine." Meg: "Right? He's been like the naked guy at the rave ever since he woke up…totally useless."
2. Dean: "That's a lot of fuss over a caveman Lego."
1. Meg: "Not a demon nor a chomper. What the hell are you?" Kevin: "I'm a…Kev…Kevin Tran. I'm in advanced placement. Please…please don't kill me."
There Will be Blood quotes: Well at least there was AlphaVamp and Vamptonite. Too bad AlphaVamp didn't live up to his promise to see us next season. Oh and Edgar bit it. That was a high point.
ReplyDelete15. Alpha Vamp: "Yes he also said he'd be in touch. My children are in a panic. You don't call, you don't write, you don't send cookies. Where exactly on the list is fixing our plague?" Edgar: "My dear friend, nowhere. We want you to burn like the little roaches you are."
14. Sam: "We're here to talk. That's it." Alpha Vamp: "Now that my guys have taken your blades and your syringes of tainted blood. Is that what you mean?" Dean: "Well we…uh, figured you might hold a grudge."
13. Alpha Vamp: "See you next season." Dean: "Looking forward to it."
12. Sam: "It could have been a monastery. Monks get up at 4 am to pray." Dean: "Ugh, can't get laid, can't sleep in…a frigging tragedy."
11. Dean: "Wow, for a girl raised in a basement, you're a hell of an actress." Emily: "You were gonna hurt my daddy." Alpha Vamp: "Hmm." Dean: "Wow you get a trophy in Stockholm Syndrome and sorry to burst your bubble, but…uh, we weren't. Sam here had a better idea."
10. Dean: "Yeah Sam look around. It's frigging Woodstock. Everybody's hopped up on the brown acid. We don't need the song and dance."
9. Dean: "Well the creep gets creepier."
8. Vampire: "Go to hell." Edgar: "No, my neighborhood is worse than that."
7. Alpha Vamp: "So now you want to prevent the extermination of the vampire race?" Dean: "No but it beats going down with you."
6. Dean: "I think any way you slice it, you've got Pac Man and True Blood in the same room and that's bad news."
5. Dean: "Three weeks ago you were…you were talking about how this could work and now…now you want to go Kevorkian on his a**?" Sam: "I'm just saying that the lore doesn't have a single real life example of Casper the Friendly Ghost. It's all basically poltergeists until a hunter comes along…"
4. Emily: "What's a Kardashian?" Dean: "Oh that's…uh, just another bloodsucker."
3. Dean: "Alright here we go. 10 ccs of Vamptonite. It's a thing."
2. Dean: "It's a good thing we've got Crowley in our corner right, seeing as how it all comes down to him. What could possibly go wrong?"
1. Dean: "I can't do this man. I can't live on rabbit food. I'm…I'm a warrior."
Survival of the Fittest quotes: And we have finally gotten to the very last episode for nominations. Woo hoo! It has been a long time coming - over a year in fact. This was the worst season finale until Sacrifice replaced it, mostly because nothing happens for the first half. (Sacrifice nothing happened until the last 3 minutes, so it wins hands down.) However it had one of my favorite scenes to NOT include the brothers in it when Crowley and Dick Roman do contract negotiations. Hilarious. I'm only sad we didn't have more of them together. They are the Rufus and Bobby of the evil world. Plus it has the weirdest line EVER issued on Supernatural (well except maybe teddy bear doctors.)
ReplyDelete15. Dean: "Wow I want to be more righteous just reading this."
14. Crowley: "I'm a model of efficiency."
13. Dean: "Is he trying to make a grand entrance or…"
12. Crowley: "Not easy…to kill me, but doable especially for you lot. You kill angels, you can certainly wipe a demon off the board and yet here we are, negotiating like proper psychopaths."
11. Dean: "I still say this is a bad idea." Sam: "Dean it was your idea, and it was the best one either of us had." Dean: "I said it as a joke." Sam: "It was a bad joke…good idea."
10. Roman: "How do you take it?" Crowley: "Alcoholic. Shall we get on with this then?"
9. Crowley: "You bore me you know that. You have no sense of poetry."
8. Meg: "Nice, you scared off the Empire's only hope."
7. Bobby: "Here's to…running into you guys on the other side, only…not too soon alright?"
6. Roman: "Just extending the hand of hospitality." Crowley: "To a mutation like me? Tired of swimming in hot garbage are we?" Roman: "That was a little colorful huh? Well…didn't mean to offend." Crowley: "Of course you did'."
5. Sam: "Where’s Dean?" Crowley: "That bone…has a bit of a kick. God weapons often do. They should put a warning on the box."
4. Dean: "We can't leave it. You let these frigging things in so you don't get to make a sandwich. You don't get a damned cat. Nobody cares that you're broken Cas. Clean up your mess!"
3. Crowley: "Castiel, last time we spoke you…well enslaved me. I'm confused. Why aren't you dead?" Cas: "I…don’t know." Crowley: "Well do you want to be 'cause I can help with that."
2. Crowley: "You know what I like about you?" Roman: "Lack of pretension?" Crowley: "You're smarter than you look." Roman: "Oh well now you're just flirting."
1. Kevin: "You don't understand. Dick's got creamer in his lab. He's gonna kill all the skinny people."
You put a lot of work into your homage to law enforcement. Maybe with the angels falling the boys can develop real relationships with the law dogs as they come to the realization that the things in the closet are real.
ReplyDeleteCould you see Sam and Dean hosting a "Kill the Monster of the Week" party/training session for the local leo's?
Thanks. It took a whole lot more time than I expected to go through all the transcripts but there are so many characters who have not gotten their due, especially these guys. I wonder if the world itself is going to know about the supernatural or if they are going to rationalize it a la Buffy. Worst, if they just ignore it. If law enforcement does get a crash course in supernatural, that would be a definite twist to the Winchester world. I would love to see them working with the law for once. I hated that they killed off Henriksen when he could have been a great ally.

Survival of the Fittest (very slow final whose ending not surprised me at all. That Dean ends up in purgatory i was expecting since we find out that Cas wants souls from purgatory...) :
-Dean: "We can't leave it. You let these frigging things in so you don't get to make a sandwich. You don't get a damned cat. Nobody cares that you're broken Cas. Clean up your mess!"
-Crowley: "You know what I like about you?" Roman: "Lack of
pretension?" Crowley: "You're smarter than you look." Roman: "Oh
well now you're just flirting."
I found Survival of the Fittest to be slow too. I wasn't shocked by Purgatory but it wasn't where I wanted season 7 to end. What was shocking is that Purgatory ended up being one of the best things in season 8 for me. I'm glad they actually showed it instead of just alluding to it like they did with hell.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I loved Feral Dean with the joy of pure hunting. He was so HOT!!!.. ;) My favorite part of s8 and Benny was such a good character..but I like Ty in any show he is on. Started watching True Justice because of him.

Hmm, never heard of True Justice. What is that about? I loved him in Borealis and wish it had gotten picked up.
ReplyDeleteThat one is almost a tie between "These kids today with their texting and murder." for me. The delivery is what sells them both. I really want these two sheriffs to team up somewhere and come back. Think of all the snark and the facial hair.
ReplyDeleteIt is a Steven Seagal series that I had not watched, but saw Ty in an ad and set my DVR. Not something that would ever be considered award winning, but it is fun. I like action shows.

Yeah, they were both good and snarky.

He was my second favorite recurring character plus I really loved him in The Temptations.(One of those movies that I watch every time it is on,) I really think it would be neat twist if "the cat were out of the bag" so to speak. Not only having the police as an ally you'd have your neighbors playing weekend hunter and really screwing things up. Could be marvelous.
ReplyDeleteIt would make the Winchesters instant celebrities which would come with their own issues. I don't think they will go there but it would be open the world up a lot.
ReplyDeleteSteven Seagal, that explains a lot. I would have dismissed it out of hand. The fact that it is on Reelz is another. I don't have that channel. I'll have to see if I can find it elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I had not watched it, but Ty is good in it, hopefully will be back next season and I will keep watching.

Loved Sam and Dean in their goggles as airport workers. :)
I completely agree. He was my favorite part of LARP and the Real Girl even with such limited screen time. I laughed so hard.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the Leverage-type caper. It certainly beat watching Dean and Sam in a van watching Charlie outmaneuver Dick Roman.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on the quotes front. I thought the shopping line was a great little shout out to fans who knew exactly what he was talking about. Cake is not pie. Not even close. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am anti-vampire in general but I love AlphaVamp. I hope he makes another appearance before the end of Supernatural.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite Crowley lines and quite frankly Crowley has had awesome lines throughout the series. I'm hoping to work on a quotes article for him later in the week.
ReplyDeleteI love how loyal Supernatural fans are. We go out of our way to watch shows we normally wouldn't give a chance simply to support actors that may or may not have been on the show for more than 60 minutes of screen time.
ReplyDeleteI saw the actor's name come up on a couple of Star Trek Enterprise eps we watched recently and I was llooking forward to seeing him, but alas he was all wrapped up in an alien mask and ape-like hair, so...:no.
ReplyDeleteHe's been awesome on SPN; I'd love to see him again too..
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteCrowley has some really great lines, or maybe it's just Mark that delivers them so well. :)
Kudos to all this work you're doing on the quotes. It's more difficult than the Labours of Hercules!
Yeah,
ReplyDeletein the Van scene they could have been off drinking one of those margaritas I mentioned yesterday instead!
Agree, purgatory - one of best thing about season 8.
ReplyDeleteJared went to Hawaii during the filming of In the Beginning. Both of them could have at least taken a mini-LA vacation in TGwtD&DT. They did Pac-Man Fever better in that they gave the brothers more time off but still allowed them to be the heroes of the story.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see Mark Sheppard play a character he hasn't made riveting so I personally give him a lot of kudos. Of course I am a wee bit biased. I really think someone ought to give him his own show.
ReplyDeleteAlphaVamp with ape hair. My mind boggles. I may have to look those episodes up.
ReplyDeleteI really wish they had delved into Purgatory deeper and longer. It had the best action of the whole season and I like how at least in Purgatory Dean was not laden with guilt. I'm sorry that didn't stick for the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I liked about whedonesque.com was they posted every time one of the actors was in another show. I wish there was a place to do that for the SPN actors, but they want it posted in buzz I guess instead of with the shows that we are interested in.
ReplyDeleteI first saw Mark in Firefly and he was been superb in every thing I have seen since.
ReplyDeleteHe's in season three, about halfway through and he's in more than one episode. :
ReplyDeleteHe's one of the Xindi species. An arboreal, if I remember correctly, hence the apey-look. :)
Thanks. I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteI first saw him in The X-Files. He was the villain in a standalone episode that stuck with me long afterwards....so much so that I immediately recognized him from it when I next saw him 6 years later. Generally I would have either forgotten about him or I would have spent days trying to place him. He always makes an impression and that's why I always love hearing he's going to be on a show.
ReplyDeleteWell in all fairness, SpoilerTV covers a whole lot more shows than Whedoneque does and I found out about Jim Beaver's new film a few days ago and Colin Ford's role in Under the Dome months ago through STV. Plus Supernatural has had a lot of actors to keep track of. I don't think it would be feasible to do that here unless it was in the forums. I am kind of surprised that Winchester Brothers or other popular SPN sites don't do this though. Supernatural TV used to. Not sure if it still does or not because I tuned out of that site once BuddyTV took it over.
ReplyDeleteMe too. Purgatory had potential and Dean experience in purgatory could be easily used in any episode.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the season or ep name? uhh, never mind I will do an IMDB search.
ReplyDeleteTrue, Whedoneque only does Joss shows, but I liked being about to find out all the news on one web page.
ReplyDeleteYep, season 1, episode 11. It was 20 years ago. He was so young back then that whenever I watch it again it's kind of like watching Jensen and Jared in season 1 again.
ReplyDeleteDo you have Twitter? If you create a list of Supernatural actors, they almost all keep fans updated that way. For instance, Richard Speight, Jr (Gabriel) is currently hawking his new short film all over Twitter. It's also one of the fastest ways to get news like Jensen's new baby girl and the fact that (Andy) Gabriel Tigerman's wife was rushed to intensive care after the birth of their daughter and the fandom is collecting money for their hospital expenses. If you want the easiest way to track what's going on in the actors' lives and careers, I would highly recommend Twitter. I use the list feature all the time to keep informed without cluttering up my timeline.
ReplyDeleteWill have it to watch Sat.
ReplyDeleteNo, don't do twitter or facebook.
ReplyDeleteSome of the quotes that stayed in my memory.

14. Chief - "It's a tossup between a ghost and some sort of ogre that only attacks Russians." (The Mentalists)
I remember laughing out loud at this. I'm really beginning to love this episode.

Ranger Rick - "You've got to respect Mother Nature. You respect her
or she's gonna string you up and she'll eat your a** right through the
Gore-Tex." (How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters)
Ranger Rick was a hoot. Poor sod though!

2. Sheriff - "Because there's no such thing as cattle mutilation. Cow
drops, leave it in the sun…within 48 hours the bloat will split it open
so clean it's just about surgical. The bodily fluids fall down into the
ground and get soaked up because that's what gravity does…but hey, it
could be Satan." (Bloodlust)
This one was good; he tried for a logical explanation!

Eliot Ness - "Why do you think I went after Capone in the first place?
The guy had the best hooch in Chicago." (Time After Time)
Elliot, Elliot, the truth is coming out!

3. Eliot Ness - "How does that fill you with awe?" (Time After Time)
Cute!

. Jake - "Enough. Please. The only reason you're breathing free air
is one of Bill's neighbors saw him steering out that boat just before
you did. So we have a couple of options here. I can arrest you for
impersonating government officials and hold you as material witnesses to
Bill Carlton's disappearance OR we can chalk this all up to a bad day.
You get into your car, you put this town in your rear view mirror, and
you don't EVER darken my doorstep again." Sam: "Door #2 sounds good."
Jake: "That's the one I'd pick." (Dead in the Water)
Caught in the act, boys!

1. Ballard - "Let's pretend for the moment you're not entirely insane." (The Usual Suspects)
I liked how she came to believe the brothers.
Once I fast forward through the brother fight in the middle, I generally really enjoy The Mentalists, even with its 10,000 anvils on sibling relationships. I thought it was fun and the deaths were amazing. I also liked the PiP Melanie. Plus the Bens were awesome on Twitter, lots of fun and rarely about Supernatural except to be goofy.
ReplyDeleteThere were so many great law enforcement quotes to choose from. I love how some of these actors were just brilliant in the way they delivered their lines.
Only part I didn't like was crazy Cas. I thought the rest was good.
ReplyDeleteIf they go the route of police knowing, they could still try to hide it from the general public.
ReplyDeleteI think that would be even harder to do. That's an awful lot of people who would have to keep a secret. I think they will either mention a worldwide meteor shower to explain it away or everyone is going to have to know that human-shaped people fell from the sky. After all, what is the likelihood that every single angel is going to be seen and found by a cop.
ReplyDelete"1. Sheriff - "These kids today with their texting and murder." (LARP and the Real Girl)"
ReplyDeleteI still crack up just thinking about that line. However brief, he was a great character. They need to go back to that town if for no other reason than to visit that guy again. ha!
