10->'''Sam:''' So would you please quit worrying about me? I mean that's the whole problem in the first place. I don't want you to worry about me, Dean, I want you to worry about you! I want you to give a crap that you’re dying! So, that's it? Nothing else to say for you?
11->'''Dean:''' I think maybe I'll play craps.

26!Tropes
27* AbhorrentAdmirer: Ms. Case, in Sam's eyes. Although [[SilverFox she's beautiful for her age]], he simply isn't interested and she won't take the hint.
28* AnyoneCanDie: Body count this episode = 3 humans and two ghosts.
29* BadassInANiceSuit: Sam and Dean at the party. Well, sort of. They don't really do anything badass in this instance (except possibly Dean stealing the HandOfGlory), but they ''are'' badasses and they ''are'' wearing suits, so...
30* BigEater: Dean is determined enough to get some form of food at the party that he calls the waiter over while Bela lies "fainted" in his arms.
31-->''[Bela groans and falls into Dean's arms toward the floor. Dean, holding her, kneels down]''\
32'''Dean:''' Honey? Honey, are you all right? ''[looks around, calls a waiter over]'' Waiter! Hi. Uh, my wife has a severe shellfish allergy. There's no crab in that? Is there?
33-->'''Waiter:''' No, sir.\
34'''Dean:''' No? ''[takes an appetizer, shoves it in his mouth]'' Oh, they're excellent, by the way.
35* BlatantLies: Sam and Dean are from the sheriff's department. Not the police department. Different departments.
36* CainAndAbel: Namedropped by Sam about a pair of brothers-slash-sailors: one had the other hanged. When their ghosts meet up toward the end of the episode, the hanged brother is furious at the betrayal (which is why he's killing those responsible for the death of a family member) while the other is clearly deeply remorseful. The hanged brother's ghost then seemingly destroys the other and himself along with it, meaning that ''both'' brothers are responsible for each other's demise at separate times.
37* CanAlwaysSpotACop: At the party, Bela and Dean note that the security personnel present look too competent and too vigilant to be simply guards from a private security firm, and are likely cops doing this as a side-job.
38* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hinted at with Bela.
39* DeadpanSnarker: Bela has even ''Dean'' beat.
40* DebtDetester: When paying Sam and Dean off with cash for saving her, Bela admits to being this trope in general, as she hates to be in anyone's debt.
41* DirtyOldWoman: Ms. Case taking every chance she gets to hit on and grope poor, flustered Sam.
42* DisproportionateRetribution: The ghost seeking revenge on those who killed their relatives goes after Sheila Case just because her cousin died in a car accident where she was driving, with their aunt's dialogue not giving any sense that Sheila was drunk, reckless, or crashed on purpose.
43* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Ms. Case blatantly sexually harasses Sam, who is clearly very uncomfortable. This is PlayedForLaughs. If Ms. Case had been a DirtyOldMan feeling up a young woman, the situation would likely have been treated as creepy.
44* FakeFaint: Bela pretends to faint to gain access to the upper levels of the museum.
45* FanserviceExtra: Sheila has less than two minutes of screen time and no dialogue. In those two minutes, she is seen jogging in short shorts and a sports bra and then gets a shower scene.
46* {{Foreshadowing}}: There's a great deal of it for Bela's past in this episode.
47* FreudianExcuse: Dean [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the phenomenon by sarcastically asking [[SmugSnake Bela]] if she got to be the way she is because her father didn't hug her enough. This becomes less funny when we learn more about Bela's past later in the season.
48* GhostShip: People who [[PortentOfDoom see it die shortly after]].
49* GrandDame: Ms.Case is subverted. While she is rich and elderly, she's closer to the [[Series/TheGoldenGirls Blanche Devereaux]] end of the spectrum than the [[RoyalWe Queen of England]]
50* HandOfGlory: The last remains of the corpse of the hanged sailor. Sam, Dean, and Bela go in to a party at the museum to steal it while undercover, so that they can use it to defeat the ghost of the hanged sailor, but then Bela steals it and sells it -- as she had explained earlier, Hands of Glory are powerful mystical objects. They must fetch a pretty nice price.
51-->'''Dean''': A Hand of Glory? I think I got one of those at the [[HappyEndingMassage end of my Thai massage]] last week.
52* HeCleansUpNicely: Dean makes a tuxedo look good, which doesn't escape Bela's attention as she starts EatingTheEyeCandy. [[ImNotPretty Dean himself thinks he looks ridiculous]].
53-->'''Dean:''' All right, get it out--I look ridiculous.\
54'''Bela:''' Not exactly the word I'd use.\
55'''Dean:''' What?\
56'''Bela:''' You know, when this is over, we should really have angry sex.\
57'''Dean:''' ''[pause, shifts uncomfortably]'' Don't objectify me. ''[beat]'' Let's go.
58* HypocriticalHumor: Dean objects to Bela objectifying him, after he's objectified women countless times so far.
59* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: The dress Bela wears to the party shows off an awful lotta cleavage. Not that we're complaining.
60* InsistentTerminology: That's ''Ms.'' Case to you, Sam.
61* KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The ghost, having been killed by his own brother, targets people that were involved in the deaths of family members.
62* LittleBlackDress: Bela wears one at the party.
63* MoneyFetish: Sam questions how Bela can do such horrible things for money.
64-->'''Sam:''' How do you sleep at night?\
65'''Bella:''' In silk sheets, [[SleepsInTheNude rolling naked in money]].
66* OminousLatinChanting: When Sam is summoning the spirit.
67* SelfMadeOrphan: The wealthy brothers who get killed by the spirit are rumored to have murdered their father for the money.
68* ShoutOut: Sam refers to Miss Case as [[Literature/GreatExpectations Miss Havisham]].
69* SorryToInterrupt: How Bela keeps the guard from discovering that Dean isn't in the room.
70* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: "Call me Gertie."
71* WatchThePaintJob: The Impala, of course, which Bela gets towed. Dean is ''not'' happy.
