INT. MOTEL ROOM
Dean and Zach were asleep. Sam paused and looked at them before leaving the room.
EXT. MOTEL
A car pulled up. Sam got in the passenger's side.
Ruby, who was driving, asked, "Ready?"
"Definitely," Sam replied.
INT. MOTEL ROOM
Dean was dreaming. His face was terrified and he screamed. He and Zach woke to find Castiel sitting on the former's bed.
"Hello, Dean," Castiel greeted. "What were you dreaming about? Hello, Zach."
Dean frowned. "What, do you get your freak on by watching other people sleep? What do you want?"
"Listen to me. You two have to stop it."
"Stop what?" Dean and Zach asked.
Castiel put two fingers to Dean's forehead and two to Zach's.
EXT. STREET
Dean was sleeping on a bench.
An officer tapped one of the bench legs. "Move it buddy -- you can't sleep here."
"Okay... sleep... where?" Dean asked.
"Anywhere but here."
Dean tried to make a call on his cell, but got no signal. "Perfect."
He got up and entered Jay Bird's Diner.
Zach was asleep on another bench and was awoken by a tapping. "Sir, you can't sleep here."
He frowned. "Then where?"
"Anywhere but here."
He pulled out his phone and tried to call a number, but had no signal. "Hey, officer! Know a good place where I can grab a bite to eat?"
The officer pointed to a diner and Zach entered Jay Bird's Diner.
He noticed Dean and asked quietly, "What the hell is going on?"
"Beats me. You okay?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Yeah. Just really confused."
"You and me both."
Dean and Zach sat at the diner's counter, Dean next to a young man.
"Hey, where the hell are we?" Dean asked.
"Jay Bird's Diner," the young man replied.
"Yeah, thanks. I mean, uh... city and state."
"Lawrence, Kansas."
"Lawrence," Dean repeated.
"Hey, are you okay, buddy?"
"Yeah, tough night," Dean said.
"Hey, uh, two coffees here, Reg," the young man said.
"Okay, coming right up," Reg replied.
Dean pulled his cell from his coat pocket. "Can you tell me where I can get reception on this thing?"
The young man looked at the phone. "The USS Enterprise?"
Dean and Zach looked at Reg as he brought the coffees over. Reg was dressed in 1970s hippie gear.
"Thanks... nice threads," Dean commented. "You know Sonny and Cher broke up, right?"
"Sonny and Cher broke up?"
