"You need my consent. michael needs my say-so to ride around in my skin." "Unfortunately, yes." "The answer's no." " You know who I am?" " Lucifer." "You're the one, Sam." "You're my vessel." "That'll never happen." " I know you don't trust me." " So, what are you saying?" "That I'm dangerous." "Maybe it's best we just go our separate ways." "Hi, good evening, brother." "Is your soul rapture-ready?" "Thank you, sir, god bless." "Good evening, folks." "is your soul rapture-ready?" "Because what I'd like to do is just show you" "Exactly what god's love is for you." "Okay, god bless." "Excuse me, friend, but have you taken time out" "To think about god's plan for you?" "Too friggin' much, pal." "We're talking about the colt, right?" "I mean, as in the colt?" "We are." "Well, that doesn't make any sense." "I mean, why would the demons keep a gun around that uh, kills demons?" "What?" "what did..." "I didn't..." "I didn't get that." "You know, it's kind of funny," "Talking to a messenger of god on a cellphone." "It's, you know, like watching a hells angel ride a mo-ped." "This isn't funny, Dean." "The voice says I'm almost out of minutes." "Okay, all right." "I'm..." "I'm telling you, Cass," "The mooks have melted down the gun by now." "Well, I hear differently." "And if it's true and if you are still set on the insane task of killing the devil," "This is how we do it." "Okay." "Where do we start?" "Where are you now?" "Kansas city." "Century, hotel room 113." "I'll be there immediately." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "no, no, come on, man." "I just drove like 16 hours straight, okay?" "I'm human." "And there's stuff I got to do." "What stuff?" "Eat, for example." "in this case, sleep." "I just need like four hours once in a while, okay?" "Yes." "Okay, so, you can pop in tomorrow morning." "Yes." "I'll just wait here, then." "Damn it, Cass, I need to sleep!" "Dean, it's me." "Sam?" "It's quarter past 4:00." "This is important." "So, you're his vessel, huh?" "Lucifer's wearing you to the prom?" "That's what he said." "Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in huh, Sammy?" "So, that's it?" "that's your response?" " What are you looking for?" " I don't know." "A-a little panic, maybe?" "I guess, I'm a little numb to the earth-shattering revelations at this point." "What are we gonna do about it?" "What do you want to do about it?" "I want back in, for starters." " Sam..." " I mean it." "I am sick of being a puppet to these sons of bitches." "I'm gonna hunt him down, Dean." "Oh, so, we're back to revenge then, are we?" "Yeah, 'cause that worked out so well last time." "Not revenge, redemption." "So, what, you're just gonna walk back in" "And we're gonna be the dynamic duo again?" "Look, Dean, I can do this." "I can." "I'm gonna prove it to you." "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." "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." "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." "Dean, don't do this." "Bye, Sam." "Season 5 Episode 4" "Little girl?"

"It means that your choices have consequences." "This is what happens to the world" "If you continue to say "no" to Michael." "Have a little look-see." "Bobby?" "Bobby, I'm coming in!" "Oh no."

"I like "past you."" "Lucifer is here." "Now, I know the block and I know the building." "Oh good, it's right in the middle of a hot zone." "Crawling with crotes, yeah." "You saying my plan is reckless?" "Are you saying we, uh, walk in straight up the driveway," "Past all the demons and the crotes," " and we shoot the devil?" " yes." "Okay, if you don't like, uh, "reckless,"" "I could use "insouciant," maybe." "Are you coming?" "Of course." "but why is he?" "I mean, he's you five years ago." "If something happens to him, you're gone, right?" "He's coming." "Okay." "Well, uh..." "I'll get the grunts moving." "We're loaded and on the road by midnight." "All righty." "Why are you taking me?" "Relax, you'll be fine." "Zach's looking after you, right?" "No, that's not what I mean." "I want to know what's going on." "Yeah, okay." "You're coming because I want you to see something." "I want you to see our brother." "Sam?" "I thought he was dead." "Sam didn't die in detroit." "He said "yes."" ""yes"?" "Wait." "You mean..." "That's right." "The big "yes."" "To the devil." "Lucifer's wearing him to the prom." "Why would he do that?" "Wish I knew." "But now we don't have a choice." "It's in him, and it's not getting out." "And we've got to kill him, Dean." "And you need to see it..." "The whole damn thing, how bad it gets... so you can do it different." "What do you mean?" "Zach said he was gonna bring you back, right?" "to '09?" "Yeah." "Well, when you get back home..." "You say "yes."" "You hear me?" "say "yes" to, Michael." "That's crazy." "If I let him in, then Michael fights the devil." "The battle's gonna torch half the planet." "Look around you, man." "half the planet's better than no planet," "Which is what we have now." "If I could do it over again, I'd say "yes" in a heartbeat." " So why don't you?" " I've tried!" "I've shouted "yes" till I was blue in the face!" "The angels aren't listening!" "They just..." "left... gave up!" "it's too late for me, but for you" "Oh, no. there's got to be another way." "Yeah, that's what I thought." "I was cocky." "Never actually thought I'd lose." "But I was wrong." "Dean..." "I was wrong." "I'm begging you." "Say "yes."" "But you won't." "'cause I didn't." "Because that's just not us, is it? So, you're really from '09?" "Yeah, afraid so." "Some free advice?" "You ever get back there, you hoard toilet paper." "You understand me?" "hoard it." "Hoard it like it's made of gold." "'cause it is." "Thank you, Chuck." "Oh, you'll thank me, all right. mark my words." "I'll see you around." "Yeah." "Okay." "Let me see those." "You want some? Amphetamines?" "It's the perfect antidote to that absinthe." "Mmm." "Don't get me wrong, Cass." "I, uh..." "I'm happy that the stick is out of your ass, but..." "What's going on..." "w-with the drugs" "And the orgies and the love-guru crap? What's so funny?" "Dean, I'm not an angel anymore." "What?" "Yeah, I went mortal." "What do you mean?" "how?" "I think it had something to do with the other angels leaving," "But when they bailed, my mojo just kind of..." "Shhrr!" "... drained away." "And now, you know, I'm practically human." "I mean, Dean I'm all but useless." "Last year, broke my foot..." "laid up for two months." " Wow." " Yeah." "So, you're human." "Well, welcome to the club." "Thanks." "Except I used to belong to a much better club." "And now I'm powerless..." "I'm hapless, I'm hopeless." "I mean, why the hell not bury myself" "In women and decadence, right?" "It's the end, baby. that's what decadence is for." "Why not bang a few gongs before the lights go out?" "But, then..." "That's just how I roll." "There, second-floor window." "We go in there." "You sure about this?" "They'll never see us coming." "Trust me." "Now, weapons check." "we're on the move in five." "Hey, uh... me." "Can I talk to you for a sec? Tell me what's going on." "What?" "I know you." "You're lying to these people and to me." "Is that so?" "Yeah." "See, I know your lying expressions." "I've seen them in the mirror." "Now, there's something you're not telling us." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Oh, really?" "Well, I don't seem to be the only member of your posse with some questions," "So, uh, maybe I'll just take my doubts over to them." "Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. wait." "What?" "Take a look around you, man." "This place should be white-hot with crotes." "Where are they?" "They cleared a path for us." "Which means that this is..." "A trap... exactly." "Well, then we can't go through the front." "oh, we're not." "they are." "They're the decoys." "You and me... we're going in through the back." "You mean you're gonna feed your friends into a meat grinder?" "Cass, too?" "You want to use their deaths as a diversion?" "Oh, man, something is broken in you." "you're making decisions that I would never make." "I wouldn't sacrifice my friends." "you're right, you wouldn't." "It's one of the main reasons we're in this mess, actually." "These people count, on you they trust you." "They trust me to kill the devil and to save the world, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do." "No." "Not like this, you're not." "I'm not gonna let you." "Oh, really?" "Yeah." "Oh." "Hello, Dean." "Aren't you a surprise." "You've come a long way to see this, haven't you?" "Well, go ahead." "Kill me." "Kill you?" "Don't you think that would be a little... redundant? I'm sorry." "It must be painful..." "Speaking to me in this... shape." "but it had to be your brother." "It had to be." "You don't have to be afraid of me, Dean." "What do you think I'm going to do?" "I don't know, maybe deep-fry the planet?" "Why?" "Why would I want to destroy this stunning thing..." "Beautiful, in a trillion different ways... the last perfect handiwork of god?" "You ever hear the story of how I fell from grace?" "Oh, good god. you're not gonna tell me a bedtime story, are you?" "My stomach's almost out of bile." "You know why god cast me down?" "Because I loved him, more than anything" "and then god created... ...you." "The little... hairless apes." "and then he asked all of us to bow down before you... to love you more than him." "and I said, "father..." "I can't."" "I said, "these human beings are flawed, murderous."" "and for that..." "God had, Michael cast me into hell." "Now, tell me..." "Does the punishment fit the crime?" "Especially when I was right?" "Look at what 6 billion of you have done to this thing." "and how many of you blame me for it?" "You're not fooling me you know that?" "With this sympathy-for-the-devil crap." "I know what you are." "What am I?" "You're the same thing, only bigger." "The same brand of cockroach" "I've been squashing my whole life, an ugly, evil, belly-to-the-ground, supernatural piece of crap." "The only difference between them and you" "Is the size of your ego." "I like you, Dean." "I get what the other angels see in you." "Goodbye." "We'll meet again soon." "You better kill me now!" "Pardon?" "You better kill me now." "Or I swear, I will find a way to kill you." "and I won't stop." "I know you won't." "I know you won't say "yes" to, Michael either." "and I know you won't kill sam." "Whatever you do..." "You will always end up here." "Whatever choices you make, whatever details you alter, we will always end up here." "I win." "So, I win." "You're wrong." "See you in five years, Dean." "Oh, well, if it isn't the, ghost of christmas "screw you."" "Enough." "Dean, enough." "You saw it, right?" "you saw what happens." "You're the only person who can prove the devil wrong." "Just say "yes."" "How do I know that this whole thing isn't one of your tricks?" "Huh?" "some angel hocus-pocus?" "The time for tricks is over." "Give yourself to, Michael." "Say "yes," and we can strike." "Before, Lucifer gets to, Sam." "Before billions die." "Nah." ""Nah"?" "You telling me you haven't learned your lesson?" "Oh, I've learned a lesson, all right." "Just not the one you wanted to teach." "Well, I'll just have to teach it again!" "Because I got you now, boy, and I'm never letting you..." "Son of a... That's pretty nice timing, Cass." "We had an appointment." "Don't ever change." "How did, Zachariah find you?" "Long story." "Let's just stay away from jehovah's witnesses from now on, okay?" "What are you doing?" "Something I should have done in the first place." "Sam." "If you're serious and you want back in you should hang on to this." "I'm sure you're rusty." "Look man, I'm sorry." "I don't know." "I'm..." "whatever I need to be." "but I was, uh... wrong." "What made you change your mind? 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." "Thank you." "Really, thank you." "I won't let you down." "Oh, I know it." "I mean, you are the second-best hunter on the planet." "So, what do we do now?" "We make our own future." "Guess we have no choice." "Edited by Scooby"
