Dean
Hunting's our day job. And the pay is crap.
Yeah, but hustling pool, credit card scams... it's not the most honest thing in the world, Dean.
Dean
Well, let's see. [weighs the two] Honest... fun and easy. [pause] It's no contest. Besides, we're good at it; it's what we were raised to do.
Yeah, well, how we were raised was jacked.
LPLarry Pike
Let me just say. We accept home owners of any race, religion, color, or... sexual orientation.
Dean
We're brothers.
[later, another agent approaches the Winchesters]
LBLinda Bloome
Well let me just say we accept home owners of any race, religion, color, or... sexual orientation.
Dean
Right. Um, I'm going to go talk to Larry. Okay, Honey? [smacks Sam on the butt]
[looking over at Larry scolding his son] Remind you of somebody?
[Dean looks over at them]
Dean
Dad never treated us like that.
[Chuckles] Well, dad never treated you like that. You were perfect. He was all over my case.
[Dean shook his head like he doesn't know what Sam is talking about]
Dean
Maybe he had to raise his voice, but sometimes you were out of line.
[Chuckles] Right. Right, like when I said I'd rather play soccer than learn bow hunting.
Dean
Bow hunting's an important skill.
Dean
Hey, so, with that kid back there- How could you tell him to just ditch his family like that?
Just, uh, I know what the kid's going through.
Dean
How about telling him to respect his old man? How's that for advice.
Dean, come on. This isn't about his old man. You think I didn't respect Dad. That's what this is about.
I respected him. But no matter what I did, it was never good enough.
Dean
So what are you saying? That dad was disappointed in you?
Was? Is ...always has been.
Dean
Why would you think that?
Because I didn't want to bow hunt... or hustle pool, because I wanted to go to school and live my life, which in our whacked-out family made me the freak.
Dean
You were kinda like the blonde chick in The Munsters.
Dean, you know what most dads are when their kids score a full ride? Proud. Most dads don't toss their kids out of the house.
Dean
I remember that fight. In fact, I seem to recall a few choice phrases comin' out of your mouth.
You know, truth is, when we finally do find Dad... I don't know if he's even gonna wanna see me.
Dean
Sam, Dad was never disappointed in you. Never. He was scared.
What are you talking about?
Dean
He was afraid of what could've happened to you if he wasn't around. But even when you two weren't talkin' ...he used to swing by Stanford whenever he could. Keep an eye on you. Make sure you were safe.
Dean
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me any of that?
Dean
Well, it's a two-way street, dude. You could've picked up the phone.
Joe White Tree? [the man nods] We'd like to ask you a few questions, if that's all right.
Dean
We're students from the university.
JWJoe White Tree
No, you're not. You're lying.
Dean
[seems taken aback] Um, well, truth is—
JJoe
You know who starts sentence with "truth is"? Liars. [Dean exchanges a look with Sam]
Have you heard of Oasis Plains? It's a housing development near the Atoka Valley.
JJoe
[to Dean] I like him. He's not a liar.
Dean
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, but I just... I want to apologize to him.
Dean
For what?
All the things I said to him. He was just doing the best he could.
Dean
Well, don't worry, we'll find him. And you'll apologize.. and then within five minutes, you guys will be at each other's throats.
MMMissouri Moseley
Alright then, don't you worry about a thing, your wife is crazy about you.
CClient
Thank you. [client leaves]
Whoo, poor bastard. His woman is cold-banging the gardener.
Dean
Why didn't you tell him?
People don't come here for the truth, they come for good news.
Sam, oh honey. I'm sorry about your girlfriend. And your father... he's missing.
Well, you were just thinking it, just now.
Dean
Where is he? Is he okay?
Dean
Don't know? You're supposed to be a psychic, right?
Boy, you see me sawing some bony tramp in half?! You think I'm a magician?! I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room but I can't just pull facts out of thin air. Sit! Please. [everyone sits] Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table, I'm gonna whack you with a spoon!
Dean
I didn't do anything!
Well you were thinking about it!
Dean... When are we going to talk about it?
Dean
Talk about what?
About the fact that Dad's not here.
Dean
Oh, uh, let's see, never.
Dean
So am I, Sam. Look, he sent us here. He obviously wants us here. We'll just have to pick up the search later.
It doesn't matter what he wants.
Dean
See, that attitude right there, that is why I always got the extra cookie.
Dad could be in trouble. We should be looking for him. We deserve some answers, Dean. I mean, this is our family we're talking about!
Dean
I understand that, Sam. But he's given us an order.
So what? We've always got to follow dad's orders?
Dean
Of course we do.
[Sam has woken up after Dean has burned Ellicott's bones]
Dean
You're not gonna try to kill me, are you?
Dean
Good. 'Cause that would be awkward.
Dean, if this demon killed Mom and Jess, and Dad's closing in, we've gotta be there. We've gotta help.
Dean
Dad doesn't want our help!
Dean
He's given us an order.
[firmly] I don't care. We don't always have to do what he says.
Dean
Sam, Dad is asking us to work jobs, to save lives. It's important.
Alright, I understand. Believe me, I understand. But I'm talking one week here, man, to-- to get answers. To get revenge.
Dean
All right, look, I know how you feel.
Do you? [Dean seems shocked at Sam's tone] How old were you when Mom died? Four? Jess died six months ago. How the hell would you know how I feel?
Dean
Dad said it wasn't safe. For any of us. I mean, he obviously knows something that we don't. So if he says to stay away, we stay away!
I don't understand the blind faith you have in the man. I mean, it's like you don't even question him!
Dean
Yeah, it's called being a good son! [Sam exits car, starts getting his stuff out of trunk. Dean gets out too] You're a selfish bastard, you know that? You just do whatever you want. Don't care what anybody thinks.
That's what you really think?
Dean
Yes, it is.
[scoffs] Well, then this selfish bastard is going to California. [Starts walking away]
Dean
Come on, you're not serious.
Dean
It's the middle of the night! Hey, I'm taking off, I will leave your ass, you hear me?
[Stops walking and looks at Dean] That's what I want you to do.
Dean
Goodbye, Sam.
