PAUL'S TAVERN
[ ☼ ]

"Hey. So what happened to, uh, "the Apocalypse is good for business?" Sam asks.

"Oh yeah, right up until Leah's angel pals banned the good stuff. Wanna help me kill some inventory?" Paul asks.

"Sure." Sam says.

"Don't get me wrong. I grew up here. I love this town, but uh, well, these holy rollers?"

"Yeah, yeah, I uh, I noticed you're not the praying type." Says Sam

"Yeah, well, between you and me, neither are half those guys." Paul says. "A couple of months back, they're all in here, getting wasted, banging the nanny. Now they're all Warriors of God. Cheers."

"Cheers." Sam says.

"Look, there's sure as hell demons. And maybe there is a God. I don't know. Fine. But I'm not a hypocrite." Says Paul. "I never prayed before and I ain't starting now. If I go to hell, I'm going honest. How 'bout you?"

"What about me?"

"Not a true believer, I take it." Paul says.

"I believe, yeah. I do. I'm just. Pretty sure God stopped caring a long time ago." Sam and Paul scoff

GREEN VALLEY MOTEL
[ ☾]

"Where you been?" Elena asks.

"Drinkin'." Sam says.

"You rebel." Dean says.

"I'd have had more, um, but it was curfew." Says Sam.

"Right."

"You hear they shut down the cell towers?" Sam asks.

"No. That's, uh, news to me." Dean says.

"Yeah. No cable, internet. Total cut off from the "corruption of the outside world." Sam says.

"Huh."

"Don't you get it? They're turning this place into some kind of fundamentalist compound." Sam says.

"No, I get it." Dean says.

"And all you've got's a "hmm?" What's wrong with you?" Elena asks.

"I get it. I just don't care."

"What?" Sam asks.

"What difference does it make?" Dean asks.

"It makes a hell of a—" Elena starts.

"At what point does this become too far for you? Stoning? Poisoned Kool-Aid? The angels are toying with these people!" Sam interrupts.

"Angel world, angel rules, man." Dean says.

"And since when is that okay with you?" Sam asks.

"Since the angels' got the only lifeboats on the Titanic." Dean says. "I mean, who exactly is supposed to come along and save these people? It was supposed to be us, but we can't do it."

"So what? You wanna, you wanna just want to stop fighting, roll over?" Elena asks. 

"I don't know, maybe."
