Look, I'll be the first to tell you that this little crusade of yours is nuts, but... I do know a little something about missing fathers.
I mean, there were times when I was looking for my dad when... all logic said that he was dead. But I knew, in my heart, that he was still alive. So, who cares what some Ninja Turtle says, Cas? What do you believe?
I believe He's out there.
What about me? I don't know. Honestly... I'm good. I can't believe I'm saying that, but I am, I'm... I'm really good.
Even without your brother?
Especially without my brother. I mean, I spend so much time worrying about the son of a bitch. I mean, I've had more fun with you in the past twenty-four hours than I've had with Sam in years. And you're not that much fun. It's funny, you know, I've been so chained to my family, but now that I'm alone... hell, I'm happy.
So you're his vessel, huh? Lucifer's wearing you to the prom?
Just when we thought you were out, they pull you back in, huh, Sammy?
So that's it, that's your response?
What are you looking for?
I don't know, uh, a little panic, maybe?
I guess I'm a little numb with the earth-shattering revelations at this point.
So what, you're just gonna walk back in, and we're gonna be the dynamic duo again?
Look, Dean, I can do this. I can. I'm gonna prove it to you.
Look, Sam, it doesn't matter. Whatever we do. I mean, it turns out that you and me, we're the, uh... the fire and the oil of the Armageddon. You know, on that basis alone, we should just pick a hemisphere. Stay away from each other for good.
Dean, it does not have to be like this, we can fight it.
Yeah, you're right, we can. But not together. We're not stronger when we're together, Sam. I think we're weaker. Because whatever we have between us; love, family, whatever it is; they are always gonna use it against us. And you know that. No, we're better off apart. We got a better chance of dodging Lucifer and Michael and this whole damn thing... if we just go our own ways.
2C2014-Castiel
[stretching] Thought you'd gotten over trying to label me.
2C2014-Castiel
[turns to face Dean] Whoa, strange.
2C2014-Castiel
You... are not you, not 'now' you, anyway.
2C2014-Castiel
What year are you from?
2C2014-Castiel
Who did this to you? Is it Zachariah?
2C2014-Castiel
Interesting.
Oh yeah, it's friggin' fascinating. Now... why don't you just strap on your angel wings and fly me back to my page on the calendar?
2C2014-Castiel
[turns away and laughs] I wish I could just, uh, strap on my wings, but, uh, I'm sorry, no dice. [Laughs again]
2C2014-Castiel
Generally, yeah.
2C2014-Castiel
[shrugs] Life.
LALucifer as Sam
Oh. Hello, Dean. Aren't you a surprise? You've come a long way to see this, haven't you?
LALucifer as Sam
Kill you? [looks at the body of Dean-2014] Don't you think that would be a little redundant? [Sighs] I'm sorry. It must be painful, speaking to me in this... shape. But it had to be your brother. It had to be. [Tries to touch Dean but Dean flinches back] You don't have to be afraid of me, Dean. What do you think I'm going to do?
I don't know, maybe deep-fry the planet?
LALucifer as Sam
Why? Why would I want to destroy this stunning thing? Beautiful, in a trillion different ways. The last perfect handiwork of God. You ever hear the story of how I fell from Grace?
Oh, good God, you're not gonna tell me a bedtime story, are ya? My stomach's almost outta bile.
LALucifer as Sam
You know why God cast me down? Because I loved Him. More than anything. And then God created...[smirks] you. The little... hairless apes. And then He asked all of us to bow down before you. To love you more than Him. And I said, "Father, I can't." I said, "These human beings are flawed. Murderous." And for that, God had Michael cast me into Hell. Now tell me, does the punishment fit the crime? Especially when I was right. Look what six billion of you have done to this thing. And how many of you blame me for it.
[voice wavering] You're not fooling me, you know that? With this 'sympathy for the devil' crap. I know what you are.
LALucifer as Sam
What am I?
You're the same thing, only bigger. The same brand of cockroach I've been squashing my whole life. An ugly, evil, belly-to-the-ground supernatural piece of crap. The only difference between them and you, is the size of your ego.
LALucifer as Sam
I like you, Dean. I get what the other angels see in you. Goodbye. We'll meet again soon.
You better kill me now! Or I swear, I will find a way to kill you. And I won't stop-
LALucifer as Sam
I know you won't. I know you won't say yes to Michael either, and I know you won't kill Sam. Whatever you do, you will always end up here. Whatever choices you make, whatever details you alter, we will always end up... here. [tears start to fall from Dean freely] I win... So, I win.
LALucifer as Sam
See you in five years, Dean.
Sam. [holds Ruby's knife out to Sam] If you're serious, and you want back in... you should hang onto this. I'm sure you're rusty. Look, man, I'm sorry. I don't know, uh, whatever I need to be, but I was, uh... wrong.
What made you change your mind?
Long story. The point is... maybe we are each other's Achilles' heel. Maybe they'll find a way to use us against each other, I don't know. I just know, we're all we've got. More than that... we keep each other human.
Thank you. Really, thank you. I won't let you down.
Oh, I know it. I mean, you are the second-best hunter on the planet.
So... what's with this job?
Dude suffers a head-on collision in a parked car? I'd say it's worth checking out.
Yeah, definitely, um, but... we've got bigger problems, don't you think?
I'm sure the apocalypse'll still be there when we get back.
How long am I gonna be double-secret probation?
Look. I know what I did. What I've done. And I am trying to climb out of that hole, I am, but you're not making it any easier.
What am I supposed to do, just let you off the hook?
No. You can think whatever you want. I deserve it, and worse. Hell, you'll never punish me as much as I'm punishing myself, but the point is, if we're gonna be a team, you and I—it has to be a two-way street.
Dean, one of the reasons I went off with Ruby... was to get away from you.
It made me feel strong, like I wasn't your kid brother.
Are you saying this is my fault?
No, it's my fault. All I'm saying is that if we're going to do this, we have to do it different. We can't just fall into the same rut.
What do you want me to do?
You're gonna have to let me grow up, for starters.
Maybe that's the connection. The Tooth Fairy, the Pop Rocks and Coke, the joy buzzer that shocks you, they're all lies that kids believe.
And now they're coming true. Okay, so whatever's doing this is—is reshaping reality. It has the powers of a god. Or of a trickster.
Yeah, with the sense of humor of a nine-year-old.
[steps between Sam and Castiel] Okay, hey, look, we are not going to kill him. Alright? But we can't leave Jesse here, either. We know that. So... we take him to Bobby's, he'll know what to do.
You'll kidnap him? What is going on in this town, it's what happens when this thing is happy; you cannot imagine what it will do if it's angry.
You've got choices, Jesse. But if you make the wrong ones, it'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
JJesse
Why are you telling me this?!
Because I have to believe someone can make the right choice, even if I couldn't.
