BAR

A Man in a white buttoned up shirt and red tie plays a song from the juice box, he walks over to the bar.

"Let me guess. Pink-slipped?" Stuart Asks

"That obvious, huh?" Zachariah Says

"Hmm. It takes one to know one, "Outsourcing." What was your crime against humanity?" Stuart Asks

"Deal of the millennium. Couldn't even get the one simple 'yes' I needed. Got to nail that bottom line, right?" Zachariah Says

"I hear that." Stuart Says

"That's all they care about upstairs, ain't it? Results, results, results. They don't know. They're not down on the ground, in the mud, nose to nose with all you pig-filthy humans, am I right?" Zachariah Says

"Absolute—filthy what?" Stuart Says

"I mean, what ever happened to personal loyalty? How long have I worked for these guys? Five millennia? Six?" Zachariah Says

"Seems like it, don't it" Stuart Says

"God–damned straight, it does, He downs his drink, Two more I'm Zack." He Says

"Stuart." He Says

"What are you going to do next, Stuart?" Zachariah Asks

"Hell, I don't know. Maybe something to do with the Internet." Stuart Says

"Yeah?" Zachariah Says

"Whoa. Earthquake?" Stuart Says

"No. My boss." Zachariah Says

The bar shakes, bottles start to fall over, glass shatters, and there is the ear-piercing sound of an angel's true voice.

"Go ahead! Get it over with. I'm ready." Zachariah Says

Stuart and The Barkeeper scream as their eyes are burned out and they die.

"Wait, what? Yes! Anything, of course! Just—just put me back in. You won't regret it Thank you! Thank you!" Zachariah Says

The noise fades, the blinding white light diminishes, and Zachariah drains his glass.

"Ah. Back in business, boys! *singing* Oh when the Saints go marching in, oh when the Saints..." Zachariah Says

MOTEL ROOM

Dean packs away his belongings in a box, including his leather jacket, his keys, his gun, and a letter. He marks the box for Robert Singer after he tapes it shut.

"Sending someone a candy-gram?" Sam Says

"How'd you find me?" Dean Asks

"You're going to kill yourself, right? It's not too hard to figure out the stops on the Farewell Tour. How's Lisa doing, anyways" Sam Says

"I'm not going to kill myself." Dean Says

"No? So Michael's not about to make you his Muppet? What the hell, man? This is how it ends? You just...walk out?" Sam Says

"Yeah, I guess." Dean Says

"How could you do that" Sam Says

"How could I? All you've ever done is run away." Dean Says

"And I was wrong. Every single time I did. Just...please. Not now. Bobby is working on something." Sam Says

"Oh, really? What?" Dean Asks
