Quotes

Dean: Rise and shine, Sammy!
(Sam, realizing it's Wednesday, gets up and hugs Dean)
Dean: How many Tuesdays did you have?
Sam: Enough. (edit)
Dean: All right, all right. We'll go tonight after closing, get us a nice long look.
Sam: Wait… what? No!
Dean: Why not?
Sam: Uhhh…. Let's just go now – right now. Business hours! Nice and crowded.
Dean: My god, you're a freak. (edit)
Dean: I'm not gonna die; not today.
Sam: Twice now I've watched you die and I can't. I won't do it again, okay? You're just gonna have to believe me. Please?
Dean: Okay. I still think you're nuts, but...okay, whatever this is. we'll figure it out. (edit)
Sam: (looking at alarm playing Back in Time) It's Wednesday!
Dean: Yeah, which usually comes after Tuesday. Turn that thing off, would ya?
Sam: What, are you kidding? This isn't the most beautiful song you ever heard?
Dean: No! Geez, how many Tuesdays did you have? (edit)
(after Dean gets hit by a car)
Dean: And?
Sam: And what?
Dean: Did it look cool, like in the movies?
Sam: You peed yourself.
Dean: Of course I peed myself. Man gets hit by a car, you think he has full control over his bladder? Come on! (edit)

Trivia

add »
When we first see Dean having a shower and we see his hair, it is all flat, and then the second time we see him, it has been pulled into a mohawk. (edit)
The first time around when Sam and Dean come out of the Diner, a heavyset lady in red and her partner leave from a store next door. She can still be viewed in the background up to the time Dean bumps the blond. This couple does not show up in any of the subsequent loops. Even though the other loops don't show the couple coming out of the store, they should still be seen in the background. (edit)
During the second Tuesday discussion, after the blond bumps Dean there is a couple that walks across the screen from right to left, twice. (edit)
