It's Misha Collins' 38th birthday today, and what better way to celebrate than a Top 10 list? I know! A Top 11 list! To thank him for giving us the amazing Castiel, here are my favorite 11 Castiel lines. Cass has some great dialogue, so it was pretty hard to narrow this down to just 11. And I'm sure everyone has their own favorites that don't match up with mine, so put them in the comments section!
I know he's being a little snarky here, but it's also the truth. Well, he might not be HAPPY about bleeding for them, but he's willing to do it anyway. This is basically a two-sentence summary of Castiel right here.
I love this line because it's really the first time we see Castiel admit that he has his own thoughts and emotions, that he's beginning to think for himself instead of just doing what he's told. It's a pivotal moment for his character. Saying it out loud makes it real.
Aw, poor Cass! He's so freaked out about being in the whorehouse! Bless. Also, "den of iniquity" is the best name for a brothel ever.
Look how proud he is of his joke! It's actually pretty funny in English, too, Cass. Dean and Sam were just in pissy moods.
I love this because it's just so Cass. No big deal, he just traveled through time to save Dean from Zachariah. It's nothing. Typical dependable Cass...pre-Leviathan version.
I might have literally gasped when he said this because it was so damn heartbreaking. After everything he did in the name of free will, after how desperately he believed that heaven would be better if the angels could make their own choices, it hurt to hear him so disillusioned.
Sam: And?
Castiel: And I drank it.
I laughed so hard at this. I just...the image of Cass literally drinking an entire liquor store is hilarious. If I was the clerk inside that store and this guy came in and started drinking every bottle in there, I would just slow-clap him. You couldn't even get mad at that, right? You'd have to be impressed.
Castiel has rebelled, and now he's declaring his independence. This line becomes even more important in light of what we learned about Chuck at the end of season 5. If Chuck is God, then Cass is basically telling God to shove his plan because he and the Winchesters are going to do it their way, consequences be damned.
This was the BAMFiest thing Castiel has ever said, in my opinion. Raphael is super scary, but Cass just oozes confidence and puts Raphael in his place. You tell him, Cass! Not even Dean could come up with anything better.
As far as insults go, it's not a very good one. But it sure was effective, and it's really memorable. Also, adorable because hey, he tried! The absolute best part about this scene, though, is when Dean calls him on it and Castiel kind of shrugs and gets this look on his face like, "yeah, I know. It was stupid. Shut up." Ass-butt. Hee!
This is the quintessential Castiel line right here. It's the first thing he ever says on the show, and it's his most memorable line hands down. If there's one line of dialogue people associate with Castiel, it's this one.
And there's my list! What did you think? What favorites of yours did I leave off? Tell me in the comments section! And happy birthday, Misha!
Comments
1) Castiel: I found a liquor store.
Sam: And?
Castiel: And I drank it.
2) Samuel: Is this what you boys do, sit around watching pornos with angels?
Castiel: I'm not supposed to talk about it.
(purely for the outraged innocence of Sam and Dean here - even though you can't see their faces. Also, guys have rules for watching porn? who knew?)
3) Sam: What happened to him?
Castiel: Me.
(can one word be a quote? It's a lot of truth for one syllable)
4) Castiel: You said "no" to Michael. I owe you an apology.
Dean: Cass. It's okay.
Castiel: You are not the burnt and broken shell of a man that I believed you to be.
Dean: (blankly) Thank you. I appreciate that.
Castiel: You're welcome.
Can I have non-Castiel stuff?:
Misha's ability to laugh at himself is amazing and wonderful (we laugh with you, Misha) His best lines:
- (all in the same tone) The whole thing remains mysterious ... what are you doing to my foot?
- I'm not going to eat it, that's disgusting! I'm going to wear it as a wormstache.
- It actually says, and I'm quoting here, "acting on camera"
I'm pretty sure I choked at "Maybe one day, but today you’re my little bitch" when I first heard it. It's not often you see Dean Winchester speechless.
I also loved the way he deadpanned "condolences" to Dean in Dark Side of the Moon.
And if we're adding Misha stuff too, I adored "Confetti! It's a parade!" and the whole "touch it" thing with Jim Beaver from S6s gag reel
Oh, and Happy Birthday Misha!
"It's not funny Dean. The voice says I'm almost out of minutes".
There was no doubt about line #1, and 2, 5, 7, and 11 are all on my list. "We had an appointment" still sums up Cas to me.
There are so many good ones. Beth Ann picked one of my favorites: "It's not funny Dean. The voice says I'm almost out of minutes", and then of course his voicemail "I don't understand... w-why do you want me to say my name?"
And I love it when Castiel is trying to be funny. "Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone." "You should have seen Luke."
When I think of Cas it is the I learned it from the Pizza Man, but all the quotes listed are fun. For me he does not take anything away from my favorite brothers, just makes it all better.
I think is one of the best lines ever
my personal fav cass line was "if you mean I remember the pizza man, then yes, I remember."
