"Dean, for the first time, we have a warning that Lilith is close."
"Only one way to find out, Dean, and I say bring her on."
[[They BARELY CALL EACH OTHER BY THEIR NAMES AT ALL. How sad! Methinks it's because they're SICK OF SAYING THEM. It doesn't count for the tally, since they're not using the names directly, but HOW CAN I LEAVE ALL OF THESE OUT? This section is the "Winchesters talking about themselves in third person and/or gratuitously introducing themselves" section:
Dean: "There are Sam Girls and Dean Girls, and...What's a slash fan?"
Sam:: "As in Sam slash Dean. Together."
Dean: "Like...together together?"
Sam: "Yeah."
Dean: "They do know we're brothers, right?"
Dean: "It's such a complete series...what, with Dean going to Hell and all."
Publisher fangirl: "What's May 2nd?"
Sam: "That's Sam's birthday." (Happy birthday, Sam! :))
Dean: "January 24th is Dean's."
Dean: "I'm Dean, this is Sam. The Dean and Sam you've been writing about."
Sam: "I'm Sam, and that's Dean."
Dean: "Well, nice to meet you. I'm Dean Winchester, and this is my brother Sam."
Dean: " 'Sam tossed his gigantic darks into the machine. He was starting to have doubts about Chuck, about whether he was telling the whole truth.' "
Sam: "Stop it."
Dean: " 'Stop it,' Sam said. Guess what you do next? (Pause) 'Sam turned his back on Dean, his face brooding and pensive.' "
Sam: " 'Dean slid behind the wheel of his beloved Impala and drove off, the plastic tarp on the rear window flapping like the wings of a crow.' "]]
Bonus fun names: The comic book guy tries to recall SAM AND DEAN. "What are their names? Uh, Steve and Dirk? Sal and Dane?"
Sam: "Sam and Dean?"
