Chuck Shurley / God quotes from Supernatural

Chuck

Like all authors I started writing because of love. I had a huge crush on Nancy McKeon who played Jo in The Facts of Life. I must have written her forty to fifty letters. She never wrote back.

Chuck

In between jobs, Sam and Dean would sometimes get a day--sometimes a week, if they were lucky. They'd pass the time lining their pockets. Sam used to insist on honest work, but now he hustles pool, like his brother. They could go anywhere and do anything. They drove a thousand miles for an Ozzy show. Two days for a Jayhawks game. And when it was clear, they'd park her in the middle of nowhere, sit on the hood, and watch the stars... for hours... without saying a word. It never occurred to them that, sure, maybe they never really had a roof and four walls but they were never, in fact, homeless.

Chuck

Endings are hard. Any chapped-ass monkey with a keyboard can poop out a beginning, but endings are impossible. You try to tie up every loose end, but you never can. The fans are always gonna bitch. There's always gonna be holes. And since it's the ending, it's all supposed to add up to something. I'm telling you, they're a raging pain in the ass.

Chuck

So what's it all add up to? It's hard to say. But me, I'd say this was a test... for Sam and Dean. And I think they did all right. Up against good, evil, angels, devils, destiny, and God Himself, they made their own choice. They chose family. And, well... isn't that kinda the whole point? No doubt--endings are hard. But then again... nothing ever really ends, does it? [Smiles to himself before disappearing into thin air]

Chuck

You know what humanity's greatest creation has been? Music. That, and nacho cheese. Even I couldn't have dreamt up that deliciousness. But music... is magic. A lot of remarkable music was created in this space. B.G.'s Canteen. Now, it's not as well known as The Bitter End or The Gaslight, but some amazing musicians got their start on this stage. I'm hoping that you and I can tap into some of that old magic and finish what I started a few months ago.

Chuck

You were just the closest angel to the door when I walked into the room. There's nothing special about you, Metatron. Not then. Not now. Now, I've been called many things. Absentee father, wrathful monster. But, coward... I am not hiding. I am just done watching my experiments' failures.

Zachariah

Did you see it?

Chuck

Who are you?

Zachariah

I'm Zachariah. You may know me from your work.

Chuck

What do you want?

Zachariah

Did you see it?

Chuck

Is it true? Is all of that really going to happen?

Zachariah

Have you been wrong so far?

Chuck

I've gotta warn Sam and Dean!

Zachariah

I wouldn't advise it. People shouldn't know too much about their own destiny. You try, and I'll stop you. Where are you going?

Chuck

To go kill myself.

Zachariah

Don't be melodramatic, Chuck. We'd only bring you back to life.

Chuck

What am I supposed to do?

Zachariah

What you always do. Write.

Dean

Where's Cas?

Chuck

He's dead. Or gone. The archangels smote the crap out of him. I'm sorry.

Dean

You're sure? I mean, maybe he just vanished into the light or something.

Chuck

Oh, no. He, like, exploded. Like a water balloon of chunky soup.

Sam

He means the books, Chuck. Why are you publishing more books?

Chuck

Um... for food and shelter.

Dean

Who gave you the rights to our life story?

Chuck

An Archangel, and I didn't want it.

Marie

Hi. Thank you so much for coming, I know the second act is a little bit wonky and the first act has some issues, but... what did you think?

Chuck

Not bad.

Metatron

Why did you put on the Chuck suit in the first place? How did that make any sense to you?

Chuck

I like front-row seats, y'know. I figured I'd hide out in plain sight, y'know. Plus, y'know, acting is fun.

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.

Chuck

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?

Chuck

Can you be more specific? I kind of get that question a lot about pretty much everything.

Metatron

Why did you create life?

Chuck

I was lonely.

Metatron

Your sister wasn't company enough?

Chuck

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.

Chuck

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.

Chuck

Nature? Divine. Human nature? Toxic.

Metatron

They do like blowing stuff up.

Chuck

Yeah. And the worst part: they do it in my name. And then they come crying to me, asking me to forgive, to fix things. Never taking any responsibility.

Metatron

It wasn't just the saps who were praying to you. The angels prayed, too. And so did I. Every day.

Chuck

I know.

Metatron

You want to sell the best-selling autobiography of all time? You explain to me. Tell me why you abandoned me. Us.

Chuck

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.
