I tried, Sammy. Man, I really tried. But I just can't keep pretending that everything's all right. Because it's not. And it's never going to be. You chose a demon over your own brother... and look what happened.
Sam
I would give anything, anything, to take it all back-
I know you would. And I know how sorry you are, I do. But, man... you were the one that I depended on the most. And you let me down in ways that I can't even... I'm just- I'm having a hard time forgiving and forgetting here. You know?
Honestly, people don't need a reason to kill each other. I mean, you've seen the Irish? They're all Irish. You think I'm a monster, I'm jello shots at a party, I just remove inihibations.
Sam
I'm going to kill you myself.
WWar
Oh, that's adorable, considering you're my poster boy.
Sam
What's that supposed to mean?
WWar
You can't stop thinking about it, ever since you saw it dripping off the blade of that knife.
Sam
You're wrong.
WWar
Save your protests for your brother, I can see inside your head. And it is a one-track city in there. Blood, blood, blood. Lust for power, same as always. You want to be strong again, but not just strong, stronger than everybody. Good intentions, quick slide to Hell, buddy boy.
No, listen, this is important. I know you don't trust me. Just, now I realize something. I don't trust me either. From the minute I saw that blood, the only thought in my head... And I tell myself it's for the right reasons, that my intentions are good, and it- it feels true, you know? But I think, underneath... I just miss the feeling. I know how messed up that sounds, which means, I know how messed up I am. The thing is, the problem's not the demon blood, not really, I mean, I- what I did, I can't blame the blood, or Ruby, or... anything. The problem's me. How far I'll go. There's something in me that... scares the hell outta me, Dean. In the last couple of days, I caught another glimpse.
Running away. Haven't we been down this road before?
Sam
No. It's different now.
JJessica
[a statement rather than a question] Really.
Sam
Last time, I wanted to be normal. This time... I know I'm a freak.
JJessica
Which is all a big ball of semantics. You know that.
Sam
No.
JJessica
Even at Stanford, you knew. You knew there was something dark inside of you. Deep down, maybe, but you knew. Maybe that's what got me killed.
Sam
No.
JJessica
I was dead from the moment we said hello.
Sam
No.
JJessica
Don't you get it? You can't run from yourself. Why are you running now?
Sam
Why are you here, Jess?
JJessica
Would you believe I'm actually trying to protect you?
Sam
From what?
JJessica
You. Sooner or later, the past is gonna catch up to you like it always does. You know what happens then? People die. Baby, the people closest to you die.
Sam
Well don't worry, because I won't make that mistake again.
JJessica
Same song, different verse. Things are never gonna change with you. Never.
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.
Sam
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.
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.
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.
Sam
Thank you. Really, thank you. I won't let you down.
What am I supposed to do, just let you off the hook?
Sam
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.
