Dean
And?
Dean
And what, safety's a crime now?
Dude, where are you going? That was our hotel.
Dean
Sam, I'm not going to make a left-hand turn into oncoming traffic. I'm not suicidal! Did I just say that? That was kinda weird.
[EMF meter beeping]
[EMF meter beeps when pointed at Dean]
Dean
Am I haunted? Am I haunted?!
Dean
What are we doing?
Dean
A ghost. Exactly. Who does that?
Dean
Us, right. And that, Sam, that is exactly why our lives suck. I mean, c'mon, we hunt monsters! What the hell? I mean, normal people, they see a monster and they run. But not us, no no no, we... we search out things that want to kill us! Yeah, huh? Or eat us! You know who does that? Crazy people! We... are insane! You know, then there’s the bad diner food and the--and the skeevy motel rooms and the truck stop waitress with the bizarre rash. I mean, who wants this life, Sam? Huh? Seriously! I mean do you actually like being stuck in a car with me, eight hours a day every single day? I don't think so! I mean, I drive too fast and I listen to the same five albums over and over and over again and I- and I-I sing along, I'm annoying, I know that. And you... you're gassy! You eat half a burrito and you get toxic! I mean, you know what, you can forget it.
Dean, where're you going?
Dean
Stay away from me Sam, okay? Because I am done with it. I'm done with the monsters and the-and the-and the Hell Hounds and the Ghost Sickness and the damn apocalypse. I'm out. I'm done. I quit.
Yeah. How you feeling, by the way?
Dean
Fine.
You sure, Dean? 'Cause this line of work can get awful scary.
Dean
I'm fine. What? You want to go hunt? I'll hunt... I'll kill anything.
[equally playful] He's adorable.
Dean
Let me guess. You're here for the, "I told you so."
Dean
Well, good, 'cause I'm really not that interested.
I am not here to judge you, Dean.
Dean
Then why are you here?
Dean
Yeah, you know, I've had about enough of these orders of yours--
Our orders were not to stop the summoning of Samhain. They were to do whatever you told us to do.
Dean
Your orders were to follow my orders?
It was a test, to see how you would perform under... battlefield conditions, you might say.
Dean
It was a witch, not the Tet Offensive. So I uh- failed your test, huh? I get it. But you know what? If you would have waved that-that magic time traveling wand of yours and we had to do it all over again, I'd make the same call. 'Cause, see, I don't know what's gonna happen when these Seals are broken. Hell, I don't even know what's gonna happen tomorrow. But what I do know is, that this, here? These kids, the swings, the trees? All of it is still here because of my brother and me.
You misunderstand me Dean. I'm not like you think, I was praying that you would choose to save the town.
Dean
You were?
These people, they're all my Father's creations. They're works of art, and yet, even though you stopped Samhain, the Seal was broken and we are one step closer to Hell on Earth, for all creation. Now, that's not an expression Dean. It's a literal. You, of all people, should appreciate what that means. Can I tell you something, if you promise not to tell another soul?
Dean
Okay.
I'm not a... hammer as you say. I have questions, I... I have doubts. I don't know what is right and what is wrong, anymore, whether you passed or failed here. But in the coming months you will have more decisions to make. I don't envy the weight that's on your shoulders, Dean. I truly don't.
Dean
Oh, come on. Aren't you a little bit tempted?
No. Wouldn't be real. Wouldn't trust it.
Dean
I don't know. That bear seemed pretty real.
Dean
Come on, if you could wish yourself back, you know, before it all started. Think about it. You'd be some big yuppie lawyer with a nice car and a white picket fence.
Dean
Seriously?
It's too late to go back to our old lives, Dean. I'm not that guy anymore.
Dean
All right, well, what, then? Hmm? What would Sammy wish for?
Lilith's head on a plate. Bloody.
Dean
What? I'm up. What?
Dean
Yeah. Tan, rested, and ready.
Dean, come on, man. You think I can't see it?
Dean
See what?
The nightmares, the drinking. I'm with you 24/7. I know something's going on.
Dean
Sam, please.
Uriel wasn't lying, but you are. You remember Hell, don't you?
Dean
What do you want from me, huh? What?
The truth, Dean. I mean, I'm your brother. I-I just wish you'd talk to me.
Dean
Careful what you wish for.
Dean
Come on, can we stow the couples therapy, huh? We're on a job. I want to work. What do you got? Please?
WWesley
"Be careful what you wish for." You know who says that? Good looking jerks like you guys, the ones who've got it so easy because you happen to be handsome.
WWesley
Yeah. Women -- Women look at you, right? They notice you.
Believe us, we do not have it easy.
Dean
We are miserable. We never get what we want. In fact, we have to fight tooth and nail just to keep whatever it is we've got.
But you know what? Maybe that's the whole point, Wes.
Dean
Yeah, people are people 'cause they're miserable bastards, 'cause they never get what they really want.
Right, yeah, you get what you want, you get crazy.
Dean
Just take a look at Michael Jackson, hmm? Or Hasselhoff.
Dean
You were right.
Dean
I shouldn't have lied to you. I do remember everything that happened to me in the Pit. Everything.
Dean
No. I won't lie anymore, but I'm not going to talk about it.
Dean, look, you can't just shoulder this thing alone. You've gotta let me help.
Dean
How? Do you really think that a little heart-to-heart, some sharing and caring, is gonna change anything? Hmm? Somehow... heal me? I'm not talking about a bad day here.
Dean
The things that I saw.... there aren't words. There is no forgetting. There's no making it better. Because it is right here... forever. You wouldn't understand. And I could never make you understand. So I am sorry.
You're not pissed we're going after the girl; you're pissed Ruby threw us the tip.
Dean
Right, 'cause as far as you're concerned that Hell-bitch is practically family. Boy, something major must have happened while I was downstairs, 'cause I come back and you're--and you're BFF with a demon?
I told you, Dean, she helped me go after Lilith.
Dean
Well, thanks for the thumbnail. Real vivid. You want to fill in a little detail?
Sure, Dean, let's trade stories. You first: how was Hell? Don't spare the details.
