Castiel
You can't reach him, Dean. You're outside your coverage zone.
What're you gonna do to Sam?
Castiel
Nothing. He's gonna do it to himself.
What's that supposed to mean? Oh right, right. Better toe the company line. Why are you here, Cas?
Castiel
We've been through much together, you and I; I just wanted to say I'm sorry it ended like this.
Sorry? [Dean hits Castiel] It's Armageddon, Cas, you need a bigger word than "sorry."
Castiel
Try to understand; this is long foretold, this is your--
Destiny? Don't give me that "holy" crap. Destiny, God's plan... It's all a bunch of lies, you poor, stupid, son of a bitch! It's just a way for your bosses to keep me and keep you in line! You know what's real? People, families - that's real. And you're gonna watch them all burn?
Castiel
What is so worth saving?! I see nothing but pain here. I see inside you, I see your guilt, your anger, confusion. In Paradise, all is forgiven. You'll be at peace. Even with Sam.
You can take your peace... and shove it up your lily-white ass. 'Cause I'll take the pain and the guilt. I'll even take Sam as is. It's a lot better than being some Stepford bitch in Paradise. This is simple, Cas! No more crap about being a good soldier; there is a right, and there is a wrong here, and you know it. Look at me! You know it! And you were gonna help me once, weren't you? You were gonna warn me about all this, before they dragged you back to Bible Camp. Help me, now. Please.
Castiel
What would you have me do?
Get me to Sam. We can stop this before it's too late!
Castiel
I do that, we will all be hunted! We'll all be killed!
If there is anything worth dying for... this is it... [Castiel shakes his head] You spineless, soulless, son of a bitch. What do you care about dying? You're already dead. We're done.
Castiel
Dean.
You're telling me you lost your mojo just in time to get me stuck in this trap the rest of my life?!
Castiel
I'm sorry.
[quietly, to Sam] Well, at least he's talking now.
Castiel
I don't have much time; we need to talk.
Castiel
Your plan. "Kill Lucifer."
Castiel
No. It's foolish, it can't be done.
Oh, well, thanks for the support.
Castiel
Yes.
Castiel
Yes. He isn't in Heaven, He has to be somewhere.
Try New Mexico, I hear He's on a tortilla.
Castiel
No, He's not on any flatbread.
Listen, chuckles, even if there is a God, He is either dead, and that's the generous theory-
Castiel
He is out there, Dean.
...or, He's up and kicking and doesn't give a rat's ass about any of us. I mean, look around you, man; the world is in the toilet! We are literally at the end of days here, and He's off somewhere drinking booze out of a coconut. Alright?
Castiel
Enough. This is not a theological issue; it's strategic. With God's help, we can win.
Castiel
[angrily] I killed two angels this week. That's my brothers. I'm hunted, I have rebelled, and I did it - all of it - for you. And you failed. You and your brother destroyed the world. And I lost everything, for nothing. So keep your opinions to yourself.
Tell me something; you keep saying we're gonna trap this guy, but isn't that kinda like trapping a hurricane with a butterfly net?
Castiel
No, it's harder.
Do we have any chance of surviving this?
Castiel
You do.
...So, odds are, you're a dead man tomorrow?
Castiel
Yes.
Oh. Well, last night on earth, what, uh... what're your plans?
Castiel
I just thought I'd sit here quietly.
Dude, c'mon, anything? Hm? Booze, women? [Castiel glances at Dean, then looks away quickly] You have been with a woman before. Right? Or an angel, at least? [Castiel rubs his neck in embarrassment. Dean leans down to almost talk in his ear] You mean to tell me you've never been up there doing a little cloud seeding?
Castiel
Look, I've never had occasion, okay?
Castiel
Raphael.
Oh, you know, I thought you were supposed to be impressive. All you do is black out the room?
RRaphael
And the eastern seaboard. It is a testament to my unending mercy that I don't smite you here and now.
Or maybe you're full of crap. Maybe you're afraid that God'll bring Cas back to life again, and smite you and your candy-ass skirt. By the way, hi, I'm Dean. [Waves]
RRapheal
I know who you are, and now thanks to him [glances at Castiel] I know where you are.
Castiel
You won't kill him. You wouldn't dare.
RRapheal
But I will take him to Micheal.
RRaphael
But there's no other explanation. He's gone for good.
Castiel
You're lying.
RRaphael
Am I? Do you remember the twentieth century? Think the twenty-first is going any better? Do you think God would've let any of that happen if He were alive?
Oh yeah? Well then who invented the Chinese basket trick?
RRaphael
Careful. That's my Father you're talking about, boy.
Yeah, who would be so proud to know that His sons started the friggin' apocalypse.
RRaphael
Who ran off and disappeared. Who left no instructions, and a world to run.
So Daddy ran away and disappeared. He didn't happen to work for the post office, did He?
RRaphael
This is funny to you? You're living in a Godless universe!
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.
Castiel
What do you mean?
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?
Castiel
I believe He's out there.
Castiel
What about you?
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.
Castiel
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.
[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.
Castiel
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.
Are you saying that you fixed up our parents?
CCupid
Well not me, but yeah. Oh, it wasn't easy either. Oooh, they couldn't stand each other at first. But when we were done with them, perfect couple!
CCupid
I'm sorry but the orders were very clear, you and Sam needed to be born. Your parents were just, uh, meant to be. [Starts singing A Match Made in Heaven. Dean punches him then turns around cradling his hand]
Son of a bitch. [Hear Cupid fleeing] Where is he? Where'd he go?
Castiel
I believe you upset him.
You just punched a cupid!
Um... are we going to talk about what's been up with you lately or not?
Castiel
What I don't understand is: where's your hunger Dean?
Castiel
Well, slowly but surely, everyone in this town is falling prey to Famine, but so far you seem unaffected.
Hey, when I want to drink, I drink. When I want sex, I go get it. Same goes for a sandwich, or a fight.
Castiel
So you're saying you're just well adjusted?
God no. I'm just well fed.
