== ACT TWO ==
''EXT. – HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
''INT. – HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
CASTIEL is looking out the window in his room. DEAN and SAM walk down the hallway.
DEAN<br />
We raced all the way here, and now I don't know. I can't say I'm fired up to see what's left of the guy.
SAM<br />
You think he remembers at all?
DEAN<br />
That, and I'm guessing whatever kind of hell baggage he lifted off of your plate. It's not gonna be pretty.
ORDERLY<br />
Hey. Excuse me, gentlemen, but it's way past visiting hours.
MEG<br />
It's okay, Abel. I've been expecting them. Hello, boys.
MEG leads SAM and DEAN to CASTIEL’s room. CASTIEL is still staring out the window.
DEAN<br />
Hey, Cas.
CASTIEL turns around.
CASTIEL<br />
Hello, Dean. Sam.
SAM<br />
Hey, Castiel.
DEAN<br />
Look at you, walkin' and talkin'. That's – that's great, right?
CASTIEL walks over to DEAN and points a finger at him.
CASTIEL<br />
Pull my finger.
DEAN<br />
What?
CASTIEL<br />
My finger – pull it.
DEAN does so. There is a crash, the lights go out and window and light fixture shatter. CASTIEL laughs. MEG turns on a lamp.
DEAN<br />
Okay, just hang on, Cas. Wait. Let us catch up to you for a second.
SAM<br />
So, you're saying you remember who you are, what you are.
CASTIEL<br />
Yes. Of course. Oh. Outside today, in the garden, I followed a honeybee. I saw the route of flowers. It's all right there, the whole plan. There's nothing to add.
SAM<br />
You might want to add a little Thorazine.
MEG<br />
Right? He's been like the naked guy at the rave ever since he woke up. Totally useless.
CASTIEL<br />
Will you look at her? My caretaker. All of that thorny pain. So beautiful.
MEG<br />
We've been over this. I don't like poetry. Put up or shut up.
SAM<br />
Okay. So, Cas, you said you woke up last night?
CASTIEL<br />
Yes. I heard a ping that pierced me, and, well, you wouldn't have heard it unless you were an angel at the time.
SAM hands CASTIEL a bag containing the stone tablet.
SAM<br />
That's also when we opened this.
CASTIEL<br />
Oh. Of course. Now I understand.
SAM<br />
Understand what?
CASTIEL<br />
You were the ones. Well... I guess that makes sense.
DEAN<br />
What makes sense?
CASTIEL<br />
If someone was going to free the Word from the vault of the earth, it would end up being you two. Oh, I love you guys.
CASTIEL pulls DEAN and SAM into a hug.
DEAN<br />
Oh. Uck. Okay. All right. Okay.
SAM pats CASTIEL briefly on the back.
SAM<br />
Yeah, yeah. You – you said something about "The Word." Is that what's written on there?
CASTIEL<br />
Did you know that a cat's penis is sharply barbed along its shaft? I know for a fact the females were not consulted about that.
DEAN<br />
Cas, please, we're losing ground out there, okay? We need your help. Can you not see that?
CASTIEL<br />
This is the handwriting of Metatron.
SAM<br />
Metatron? You saying a Transformer wrote that?
DEAN<br />
No. That's Megatron.
SAM<br />
What?
DEAN<br />
The Transformer – it's Megatron.
SAM<br />
What?
CASTIEL<br />
Metatron. He's an angel. He's the scribe of God. He took down dictation when creation was being formed.
SAM<br />
And that's the Word of God?
CASTIEL<br />
One of them, yes.
SAM<br />
Uh... Well, what's it say, then?
CASTIEL<br />
Uh... "Tree?” [He looks at SAM and DEAN.] "Horse?" "Fiddler crab?" I can't read it. It wasn't meant for angels.
MEG<br />
Okay, this all sounds bad. What are you two jackasses doing with the Word of God? Let me see that thing.
DEAN<br />
Back off, Meg.
MEG<br />
Come on, it's my ass, too.
DEAN<br />
Back off.
MEG<br />
Damn it! Enough of this "demons are second-class citizens" crap!
CASTIEL<br />
Don't like conflict.
CASTIEL disappears and the stone tablet drops to the floor, breaking into three pieces.
SAM<br />
Uh...
DEAN<br />
What the hell was that?
MEG<br />
You heard him. He doesn't like conflict. He's down in the dayroom now. I guarantee it.
DEAN<br />
All right, I'll go handle Cas. Sam, will you please pick up the Word of God?
SAM<br />
Yeah.
DEAN leaves the room.
MEG<br />
What are you guys caught up in now?
SAM starts putting the pieces of the stone tablet into the bag.
MEG<br />
I deserve to know, Sam.
SAM doesn’t answer.
MEG<br />
Okay, fine. I'll hit the road, then. Let me just go get my angel.
MEG leaves the room. SAM goes after her, leaving the bag on the floor in CASTIEL’s room.
SAM<br />
Meg, what are you talking about? Stop.
MEG<br />
We both call, who do you think Cas will come to? I'm guessing me. You heard him – thorny beauty, blah, blah. I'm the saint who stayed with him. He owes me. His words.
SAM<br />
Yeah, what about what he owes us?
MEG<br />
Well, work on him a little. Maybe he'll start crushing on you, too, hot stuff.
SAM<br />
What are you gonna do with a broken angel? Don't be stupid.
MEG<br />
I'll take power where I can get it. I've got myself to look out for.
They hear a noise and head back to CASTIEL’s room.
SAM<br />
What the hell?
The bag containing the stone tablet is gone.
''EXT. – HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
KEVIN is running with the bag in his arms. He comes to a stop near a corner of the building.
''INT. – HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
DEAN is walking down a hallway. He stops at the doorway to the dayroom and looks at CASTIEL, who is sitting at a table with his back to DEAN.
''EXT. – HOSPITAL – NIGHT''
KEVIN is running with SAM in close pursuit.
SAM<br />
Hey!
KEVIN zig-zags to avoid SAM.
KEVIN<br />
No, stop! Leave me alone! Aah!
MEG puts out an arm and knocks KEVIN to the ground.
MEG<br />
Not a demon nor a chomper. What the hell are you?
KEVIN<br />
I'm a... K-Kevin Tran. I'm in advanced placement. P-p-please don't kill me.
SAM<br />
I'm not gonna kill you.
SAM hauls KEVIN to his feet and tries to take the bag away from him.
KEVIN<br />
I'm sorry.
SAM keeps trying to pull the bag from KEVIN’s grasp.
KEVIN<br />
I-I'm sorry. I... I don't – I don't know why, but I can't let go of this.
