Metatron
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there badass. Lighten up. Why do you just assume I won't help?
Because you're a dickwad.
Metatron
But I'm your dickwad. I have a special place in my... non-heart for you both, to which end ta-da! I would be tickled to help you pop this Biblical zit. To do it you are going to need one specific thing... Your old bud, the First Blade.
Metatron
As I said ain't life a bitch?
Metatron
Not here? Not on your person?
Not saying, so back to you what’s next?
Metatron
This is where it gets kinda interesting.
Metatron
It’s very lonely here, and I have very little to do but think, and it occurred to me that you really need this mark taken off of you, and in order to do that you really need me. So here’s the deal, that first little tip I gave you, a freebie, just ‘cause you’re you. Every future step, they’re gonna cost you, big, oh and FYI there’s a bunch.
[Dean locks the rooms’ door]
Metatron
What you doing there slugger?
I’m settling a score that’s taken way too long to settle. Oh and while I do that I’m gonna get some information, and I’m gonna enjoy every minute of it. [He picks up an angel blade] Because you’re going to tell me everything, all of it, and it ain’t gonna cost me a damn dime... slugger.
Metatron
And then Kevin's death all on you, you put him in harms way and kept him there. Gadreel possessing Sam, who was it who tricked Sam into letting him in? And then my personal favorite - Dean Winchester. Whose entire existence is defined by a war on the dark and monstrous, bromancing his way around the country with the King of Hell!
[Dean punches Metatron]
Let’s try this again. What is, the next step?!
Metatron
What is it you humans say so inelegantly? Oh yes, ‘go screw yourself’
Metatron
I call shotgun!
You don't get to make demands, Metatron. You're not in charge here.
Metatron
Oh, I'm afraid I am. I know about the mark. I have your grace. I make the rules. It's called leverage, boys. Learn it, live it, love it.
[Castiel takes Metatron's grace and Sam shoots Metatrons leg.]
Metatron
Ow! Ow! [groans]
We have your grace, Metatron. You're mortal now. So you will answer our questions, or Sam will, um... What's the phrase? Blow your fricking brains out. It's called leverage, Metatron.
Learn it, live it, love it.
Metatron
And Goose Bumps- don't even get me started on those! Creepy! And yet.. arousing.
[Castiel calls Sam. Sam answers.]
[Annoyed] Can I just kill him now?
Metatron
You know I can hear you, right?
No, we need him alive. For now. Look, after he gives you your grace back, you can do whatever you want with him.
Well, I'd like to kill him slowly.
Metatron
I am like two feet from you!
[To Sam] Anything on the mark of Cain?
Metatron
Every word- crystal clear!
No. I mean, I've been digging for something, for anything, but... I don't know, Cass.
There is an answer out there. We will find a cure for Dean.
Metatron
[scoffs] I don't know why you'd want to cure that little firecracker now. He's finally interest- [Castiel punches him] Ooh!
Ya.. [Sees Dean walking in] Yeah, uh, no one here by that name. Sorry. [Hangs up]
Sam? [puts his phone down]
Metatron
Lose reception? Or did he hang up on you?
[Castiel gives Metatron an annoyed look]
Metatron
[Chuckles] He hung up on you, didn't he? [He gets punched again]
Metatron
Then you've got some work to do. There are no revelations in this book! And that's weird, given who you are. There's no new information, no soul-bearing.
That's because I don't have a soul.
Metatron
Right! But you invented them. You invented souls. Souls! Try shining a light on that. How did that make you feel?
Metatron
Why?
Can you be more specific? I kind of get that question a lot about pretty much everything.
Metatron
Why did you create life?
Metatron
Your sister wasn't company enough?
I am being. She's nothingness. It's not exactly the makings of a fun two-hander, you know?
Metatron
Yeah. But you didn't stop at one archangel or a handful of angels. You created worlds.
I was stupid. Naive. I thought if I could show my sister that there was something more than just us, something better than us, then maybe she'd change. Maybe she'd stop... being... her. But... every time I'd build a new world... she'd destroy it.
Metatron
It wasn't just the saps who were praying to you. The angels prayed, too. And so did I. Every day.
Metatron
You want to sell the best-selling autobiography of all time? You explain to me. Tell me why you abandoned me. Us.
Because you disappointed me. You all disappointed me.
Metatron
No, look. I know I'm a disappointment, but you're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are! And sure, they're weak and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint! But they also give and create. And they sing and dance and love! And above all, they never give up! But you do.
