[at a frat party]
Man, you've been holding out on me: this college thing is awesome!
SamThis wasn't really my experience.
Let me guess: libraries, studying, straight As. [Sam nods] What a geek.
[preparing to search]
Alright, take your pick.
SamI'll take the house.
Okay. Hey, stay out of her underwear drawer.
Hunting's our day job. And the pay is crap.
SamYeah, but hustling pool, credit card scams... it's not the most honest thing in the world, 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.
SamYeah, well, how we were raised was jacked.
SamSupposedly died from Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.
[confused] Huh?
SamHuman Mad Cow Disease.
Mad Cow... wasn't that on Oprah?
SamYou watch Oprah?
[Dean looks embarrassed]
Sam[looking over at Larry scolding his son] Remind you of somebody?
[Dean looks over at them]
SamDad?
Dad never treated us like that.
Sam[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]
SamYou don't remember?
Maybe he had to raise his voice, but sometimes you were out of line.
Sam[Chuckles] Right. Right, like when I said I'd rather play soccer than learn bow hunting.
Bow hunting's an important skill.
SamWhatever.
Hey, so, with that kid back there- How could you tell him to just ditch his family like that?
SamJust, uh, I know what the kid's going through.
How about telling him to respect his old man? How's that for advice.
SamDean, come on. This isn't about his old man. You think I didn't respect Dad. That's what this is about.
SamI respected him. But no matter what I did, it was never good enough.
So what are you saying? That dad was disappointed in you?
SamWas? Is ...always has been.
Why would you think that?
SamBecause 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.
You were kinda like the blonde chick in The Munsters.
SamDean, 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.
I remember that fight. In fact, I seem to recall a few choice phrases comin' out of your mouth.
SamYou know, truth is, when we finally do find Dad... I don't know if he's even gonna wanna see me.
Sam, Dad was never disappointed in you. Never. He was scared.
SamWhat are you talking about?
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.
SamWhat?
Yeah.
SamWhy didn't you tell me any of that?
Well, it's a two-way street, dude. You could've picked up the phone.
SamJoe White Tree? [the man nods] We'd like to ask you a few questions, if that's all right.
We're students from the university.
No, you're not. You're lying.
[seems taken aback] Um, well, truth is—
You know who starts sentence with "truth is"? Liars. [Dean exchanges a look with Sam]
SamHave you heard of Oasis Plains? It's a housing development near the Atoka Valley.
[to Dean] I like him. He's not a liar.
SamI want to find Dad.
Yeah, me too.
SamYeah, but I just... I want to apologize to him.
For what?
SamAll the things I said to him. He was just doing the best he could.
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.
Sam, oh honey. I'm sorry about your girlfriend. And your father... he's missing.
SamHow'd you know all that?
Well, you were just thinking it, just now.
Where is he? Is he okay?
I don't know.
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!
I didn't do anything!
Well you were thinking about it!
Mom?
Dean. Sam. I'm sorry.
SamFor what?
[to poltergeist] You get out of my house. And let go of my son.
SamDean... When are we going to talk about it?
Talk about what?
SamAbout the fact that Dad's not here.
Oh, uh, let's see, never.
SamI'm being serious, man.
So am I, Sam. Look, he sent us here. He obviously wants us here. We'll just have to pick up the search later.
SamIt doesn't matter what he wants.
See, that attitude right there, that is why I always got the extra cookie.
SamDad 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!
I understand that, Sam. But he's given us an order.
SamSo what? We've always got to follow dad's orders?
Of course we do.
Sam, put the gun down.
Sam[possessed by Dr. Sanford Ellicott] Is that an order?
No, it's more of a friendly request.
[Sam has woken up after Dean has burned Ellicott's bones]
You're not gonna try to kill me, are you?
SamNo.
Good. 'Cause that would be awkward.
SamDean, if this demon killed Mom and Jess, and Dad's closing in, we've gotta be there. We've gotta help.
Dad doesn't want our help!
SamWell, I don't care.
He's given us an order.
Sam[firmly] I don't care. We don't always have to do what he says.
Sam, Dad is asking us to work jobs, to save lives. It's important.
SamAlright, I understand. Believe me, I understand. But I'm talking one week here, man, to-- to get answers. To get revenge.
All right, look, I know how you feel.
SamDo 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?
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!
SamI don't understand the blind faith you have in the man. I mean, it's like you don't even question him!
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.
SamThat's what you really think?
Yes, it is.
Sam[scoffs] Well, then this selfish bastard is going to California. [Starts walking away]
Come on, you're not serious.
SamI am serious.
It's the middle of the night! Hey, I'm taking off, I will leave your ass, you hear me?
Sam[Stops walking and looks at Dean] That's what I want you to do.
Goodbye, Sam.
