“And this all started because I tried to hide from society. Remember? ‘Fuck society.’ Yeah, well, I fucked society all right.

“Rowena: Until you forced me to get back in the game, I'd tried to forget about Lucifer. I loathe him, and I loathe that I had any part in letting him out of the pit he belongs in. Castiel: So you'll help us, then? Rowena: Good God, no. That whole FBI pantsuit look? Not my hex bag. But if you get Luc…”— Robert Berens, Castiel, Misha Collins, imdb.com
