• Leon Meager: Ellie?! [footsteps]
• Gabriel: Relax, Leon. I can tell she is fine. So is the baby. It's just what humans call morning sickness.
• Leon Meager: Oh... Ellie, is there anything I can do for you?
• Ellie MacKay: [groan, hand wiping mouth, gasp, stumbling footsteps] Gain about a hundred pounds, go bald, and lose half your teeth.
• Leon Meager: I don't understand how that would be beneficial-
• Elaine Belloc: It would stop her from [expletive] you.
• Leon Meager: Oh... Oh! [chuckle] Humor. Good joke, babe. [footsteps, hand placed on shoulder]
• Ellie MacKay: [slap] Get your hands off me. You did this to me... don't think I've forgiven you.
• Leon Meager: What?
• Gabriel: That's what human call hormones, brother. [chuckle] Anyway, well we've narrowed this down to this city. We should return the Vessels and then return to conduct the search in earnest.
• Elaine Belloc: I'm good. I knew what I was getting into when I signed up for this.
• Ellie MacKay: I'm just gonna lean on this car for- [gasp] Nope, nevermind! [rapid footsteps, retch splashing]
• Leon Meager: I'll keep an eye on her.
• Gabriel: In either case, I'm going to take Wally back to Metropolis. I'll be back soon. [supernal crackling, wings flapping, blipts: 2 instances]
• Elaine Belloc: I guess we might as well get started. Where should we begin?
• Donna Rich: You are asking me?
• Elaine Belloc: You're the next one in charge.
• Donna Rich: Oh, please... No, I'm not, I'm only-
• Elaine Belloc: The Voice of God. Yeah, you outrank everyone else here.
• Donna Rich: I'm not sure my position comes with much authority when I'm not representing Him, but- [pause, footsteps] Wait... I sense something.
• Elaine Belloc: The Presence? Yeah. We know he's somewhere near, but once you get close-
• Donna Rich: No. Not the Presence. Someone else... [footsteps]
• Elaine Belloc: Okay... I guess we're following her? Leon? Ellie? You two coming?
• Ellie MacKay: [groan] Be there in a minute...
• Leon Meager: Go on. We'll be along soon.
• Elaine Belloc: Wait up, Donna. [footsteps]
• [footsteps: 2 instances, door opens, footsteps: 2 instances, door closes]
• Jo Harvelle: You would like that song... [scoff, chuckle, gasp] Oh, hey, we're closed. Sorry. [pause, hand smacking leather]
• Dean Winchester: What was that for?
• Jo Harvelle: You distracted me and I forgot to turn off the sign and lock the front door.
• Dean Winchester: [scoff] Not my fault you're bad at your job. [slurp, gulp]
• Donna Rich: [footsteps] I do not seek to give your establishment patronage. I have an inquiry, though.
• Jo Harvelle: Uh... Okay... You want directions or something?
• Elaine Belloc: Yeah, sure...You know where we can find the Almighty?
• Jo Harvelle: Huh?
• Elaine Belloc: Nevermind.
• Donna Rich: [footsteps] He's close. I know he is.
• Jo Harvelle: You're looking for someone? [footsteps, pause] You don't look like Ash's usual types... but...
• Chuck Shurley: [door opens, footsteps] Hey Dean, I think I got a lead for-
• Donna Rich: Him!
• Chuck Shurley: Me? [stumbling footsteps, pause, gasp] You?!
• Donna Rich: [footsteps] What are you doing here?
• Chuck Shurley: Me? What are you doing here?!
• Donna Rich: We need to speak with you.
• Chuck Shurley: Do we? Do we really have to? [nervous chuckle]
• Dean Winchester: [sigh, slurp, gulp, glass clanking, groan, footsteps] You okay here, Chuck? Or is this... [chuckle] very attractive woman bothering you?
• Jo Harvelle: ... [scoff, footsteps] [under-breath:] She's not that attractive...
• Dean Winchester: [pause] I'm Dean, by the way.
• Donna Rich: ... [pause, humored scoff] I am Donna.
• Dean Winchester: Hello, Donna. And this girl you're with- [pause] She's like your sister or-?
• Elaine Belloc: More like niece, actually. Her stepbrother is my dad.
• Dean Winchester: Ah... Well, mind if I ask you two how you know Chuck? [pause, gulp] Or do you know him as Carver? Is that it? you fans or-?
• Elaine Belloc: I don't know anything about him. I'm just here with her.
• Jo Harvelle: [door opens] Uh, these two with you, too?
• Leon Meager: [footsteps] Yes, we are.
• Jo Harvelle: Of course you are...
• Ellie MacKay: [footsteps] Hi there...
• Jo Harvelle: Hi. [pause, sigh, door closes, lock engages]
• Dean Winchester: Okay, and who are these two?
• Elaine Belloc: That's her brother and that's her brother's girlfriend.
• Dean Winchester: Gotcha. And now, how did you know Chuck?
• Chuck Shurley: [sigh] Dean-
• Dean Winchester: I got this Chuck. I'm good with people.
• Chuck Shurley: Since when?
• Dean Winchester: ... [pause] That's hurtful, Chuck.
• Chuck Shurley: Sorry, but... These aren't people, Dean.
• Dean Winchester: What?
• Chuck Shurley: They're angels.
• Dean Winchester: Angels?
• Chuck Shurley: Angels... Well, those two are. [pause] She's a human from an infernal bloodline. She's uh, well that's complicated.
• Elaine Belloc: [chuckle] Yeah, don't call me "basic".
• Dean Winchester: Okay... So, uh, you're here to talk to Chuck on... like... official business?
• Donna Rich: Yes.
• Dean Winchester: Gotcha. Well, I'm just go over there and finish me beer. [footsteps]
• Chuck Shurley: Dean! You're just going to leave me?
• Dean Winchester: What? You got Castiel for this kind of business...
• Chuck Shurley: Oh right... Castiel!
• Castiel: [supernal crackle, wings flapping, blipt, yawn, footsteps] Charles, how can I-? [pause] Oh, a thousand pardons. I was not expecting a visit from the Metatron. [clatter]
• Chuck Shurley: Castiel, get up... I need you to send these four somewhere else.
• Castiel: Impossible. I cannot interfere in the work of the Metatron, to do so would be to go against-
• Chuck Shurley: She's not the Metatron anymore.
• Castiel: What?
• Donna Rich: Well, that's only technically true.
• Chuck Shurley: Raphael revoked her status.
• Castiel: Is this true?
• Donna Rich: Again, technically true, but... I am appointed by the decree of the Presence.
• Castiel: If you are not here on official matters, I am afraid I must ask you to take your leave of the prophet. There are rules.
• Donna Rich: Yes, I am aware of that, but what is he doing here?
• Castiel: That is a... That's complicated.
• Donna Rich: Are you here to speak with Him?
• Castiel: Him? [pause] The Presence? [footsteps] No. Why would you think that is the purpose for us being here?
• Leon Meager: [footsteps] If I may, sis-
• Castiel: Leonardo?
• Leon Meager: Castiel!
• [footsteps, bodies embracing: 2 instances]
• Castiel: It does me well to see you removed from custody. [pause] I am surprised Asmodel released you.
• Leon Meager: [nervous chuckle] Yeah, well, I had some help from the sister there.
• Castiel: Ah. I see... Well, I had similar encounters with Heraphon and Michael in the past, so if you need to talk about it-
• Leon Meager: Actually, yeah, Castiel. That would really help me. You know somewhere we can talk?
• Castiel: I do. There is a wonderful roadside 24/7 diner in Fallville. It has most delicious cheeseburgers. I'll show you.
• Ellie MacKay: Oh, a cheeseburger sounds good...
• Leon Meager: Can I bring my girlfriend?
• Castiel: [pause] The mother of a Divine Vessel? Of course! It would be my pleasure.
• [supernal crackles: 2 instances, wings flapping: 2 instances, blipts: 3 instances]
• Chuck Shurley: [gasp, whimper] Castiel?! But what about me and- [groan] I'd like to file a complaint about my guardian angel.
• Donna Rich: So noted. [footsteps] Where is He?
• Chuck Shurley: Castiel?
• Donna Rich: ...
• Chuck Shurley: Oh... Him? [pause, sigh] I can't say.
• Donna Rich: You realize what is at stake, prophet?
• Chuck Shurley: I do, but... [pause, footsteps] It's not that I don't want to tell you where he is, it's that I can't.
• Donna Rich: You have some idea.
• Chuck Shurley: I did at one point... and then He activated that.
• Donna Rich: That?
• Dean Winchester: [slurp, gulp] Huh?
• Donna Rich: What is that?
• Jo Harvelle: [scoff, chuckle, footsteps] We're still trying to find out ourselves...
• Dean Winchester: Hey! Don't you have dishes to wash or something?
• Chuck Shurley: Not him... [sigh, footsteps, snatch snap]
• Dean Winchester: Ow! Chuck, what the hell?!
• Chuck Shurley: [footsteps, clatter] He activated this.
• Donna Rich: It's a... brass amulet?
• Elaine Belloc: I don't follow... Donna?
• Gabriel: It's the Samulet.
• Jo Harvelle: [scream, glass shatter] Trickster!
• Dean Winchester: [feet shuffling, gun unholstered] You sonuva-!
• Gabriel: [chuckle] It's nice to see you two again. How's the sexual tension doing these days?
• Dean Winchester: Shut up, [expletive].
• Gabriel: [teeth sucking, chuckle] You know what, I'm gonna put a fork in this reunion. I got more important business at the moment. [footsteps] Please, put the guns down. You look ridiculous.
• Donna Rich: Friends of yours, Gabriel?
• Gabriel: [chuckle] We've had some fun, haven't we?
• Jo Harvelle: [scoff] I wouldn't call it fun. He zapped us into a-
• Gabriel: Oh, there's an idea. Say hello to Flag for me... [fingers snap, supernal chuckle,blipts: 2 instances] Ah, silence. Now as I was saying... [clatter, footsteps] This is the Samulet. It's not it's actual name. No, that's just Chuck's term. Anyway, this might not look like much, but-
• Donna Rich: I see now. It's a Divine Reservoir.
• Elaine Belloc: That's a reservoir.
• Chuck Shurley: Yeah.
• Elaine Belloc: Why's that horny yokel doing carrying that around his neck?
• Chuck Shurley: [sigh] Bobby Singer found it in the possession of a demonic treasure vault. He didn't know its actual purpose, but believed it could be used to help John Winchester destroy Azazel. Long story, but he gave it to Sam Winchester to give to John but since Sam was mad at his dad, he gave it to Dean as Christmas present instead.
• Elaine Belloc: Dean is... the horny yokel?
• Chuck Shurley: Yeah... [sigh] Dean's kept it on him ever since. As far as he knows, it's just an anti-possession charm. But in truth,
• Gabriel: It's also a token representing the brothers' love for one another. [pause] Big fan of your work, Chuck. I can't wait for the next release.
• Donna Rich: The Presence... activated this recently?
• Chuck Shurley: Yeah. The thing was dormant the whole time Dean's had it and then just a few weeks back, I felt a disruption. That amulet was the focal point. That thing just started sucking in all sorts of psychic energy.
• Elaine Belloc: I don't follow.
• Donna Rich: This is what was drawing you, Wally, and my brother's child. He put a portion of His power. He's even harder to find now.
• Elaine Belloc: So what do we do now?
• Gabriel: [sigh, clatter] I... I don't know. [long sigh] I need to see if Lucifer has any other ideas. [supernal crackle, wings flapping, blipt]
