NOW

INT. – SUCROCORP OFFICE – DAY

The scene carries on from the end of 7.22 There Will Be Blood. DICK ROMAN is pouring drinks.

DICK ROMAN
How do you take it?

CROWLEY
Alcoholic. Shall we get on with this, then?

DICK ROMAN
Just extending the hand of hospitality.

CROWLEY
To a mutation like me? Tired of swimming in hot garbage, are we?

DICK ROMAN
[laughs] That was a little colorful, huh? Well... didn't mean to [he hands CROWLEY a glass] offend.

CROWLEY
Of course you did. So, if you're suddenly calling, I guess you're up to speed on the Winchesters, which means you intercepted the Prophet. And the Prophet told you that my blood is the key to everything. [He drains his drink.] You know what I like about you?

DICK ROMAN
Lack of pretension?

CROWLEY
You're smarter than you look.

DICK ROMAN
Oh, well, now you're just flirting.

DICK ROMAN gets up to pour more drinks.

CROWLEY
Not easy... to kill me, but doable. Especially for you lot. You kill angels. You can certainly wipe a demon off the board. And yet, here we are, negotiating like proper psychopaths.

DICK ROMAN
Well, I assume you have a vial of your blood stashed somewhere, and in the event of your death, it goes directly to Sam and Dean. [He hands CROWLEY another drink.]

CROWLEY
See? Smart assumption.

DICK ROMAN
One can't live on looks alone. Here's my offer.

CROWLEY
All ears.

DICK ROMAN
Full immunity for you and your constituency. I'm talking free-range grazing for all demonkind. I'm willing to cordon off, say, Canada. You and your crew can work your little deals, have your way with the locals.

CROWLEY
All of Canada?

DICK ROMAN
Have it.

CROWLEY
Fair. And down here?

DICK ROMAN
America's ours. Your sales team stays out – period. That's not up for negotiation. We need America. They're so fat.

CROWLEY
And in exchange?

DICK ROMAN takes a vial out of his jacket pocket.

DICK ROMAN
The blood of one sadly unimpressive demon in New Jersey. All I ask is that you give it to Frick and Frack, tell them it's yours, stand back, and let them come to me. [He gives the vial to CROWLEY.]

CROWLEY
I can't deny I long to see those two digested once and for all. You have a deal. I suppose you want it in writing?

DICK ROMAN
I don't kiss on the mouth.

CROWLEY
Your loss. I just so happen to have a standard rider... [he takes a scroll out of his jacket] right here.

CROWLEY unfurls the scroll, which is very long. DICK ROMAN grimaces. CROWLEY holds up a magnifying glass.

CROWLEY
I do so like this part. Don't you?

SUPERNATURAL (Title Card)

ACT ONE

CAR – NIGHT

SAM
All right. Exit's in 3 miles.

DEAN
I still say this is a bad idea.

SAM
Dean, it was your idea, and it was the best one either of us had.

DEAN
I said it as a joke.

SAM
It was a bad joke – good idea.

DEAN
Yeah, only because we got no magic spell, no book – nothing on how to find a freakin' righteous bone.

SAM
We can call Castiel again.

DEAN
Dude, on my car, he showed up naked... covered in bees.

SAM
Yeah, I'm not really sorry I missed that.

DEAN turns on the radio.

MAN’S VOICE ON RADIO
...The price of stock hit an all-time high following Roman's acquisition of Sucrocorp. I say Roman's a buy.

WOMAN’S VOICE ON RADIO
Got to disagree with you there. I'm gonna call him a "wait and watch."

MAN’S VOICE ON RADIO
Come on, Lawshe. You're killing me.

WOMAN’S VOICE ON RADIO
Hear me out. This is a new sector for Roman.

MAN’S VOICE ON RADIO
That's right. He's holed up at Sucrocorp headquarters right now.

WOMAN’S VOICE ON RADIO
So sit tight. This –

DEAN switches off the radio.

DEAN
Holed up at Sucrocorp, huh?

DEAN and SAM look at each other.

EXT. – STREET – NIGHT

The MAID possessed by BOBBY in 7.22 There Will Be Blood is walking along a street. Televisions in a store window are playing a DICK ROMAN interview. We see BOBBY’s reflection in the window.

INT. – SUCROCORP OFFICE – NIGHT

We see a close-up of the large devil’s trap in the light fixture. CROWLEY is reading from his scroll.

CROWLEY
"Should the party of the first part…”

We see a close-up of the scroll. It appears to be written in Latin and mentions Sam and Dean Winchester.

CROWLEY
“…fail to inform the party of the second part of his intent…"

DICK ROMAN
Pause right there. Correct me – that should be "party of the second part vis-a-vis party of the first part," 'cause we just amended clause [CROWLEY mouths the words along with him] 314-sub-a. That's right. You should do this professionally.

CROWLEY
Splendid. So, "Should the party of the second part…”

INT. – CRYPT – NIGHT

DEAN
Well, I guess if we can't find a righteous bone in a friggin' nunnery crypt.

SAM
All right. Here – listen to this. Sister Mary Benedict, uh, taught the learning-impaired and died at age 23.

DEAN
Eh, it's a little young. Find someone who's had time to cook.

SAM is reading from a large book.

SAM
Okay, well, there was, uh... here – Sister Mary Eunice. Uh, fed the poor, became Mother Superior at age 60.

DEAN
Sounds political. Power corrupts.

SAM
Right. Um... listen to this – Sister Mary Constant, 83 years of quiet, humble nun-like goodness. What do you think?

DEAN
Wow. I want to be more righteous just reading this.

SAM
Exactly.

DEAN
All right, well, I lay odds on her. Here we go. [He walks over to a plaque bearing the name of Sister Mary Constant.] Well... let's bone this nun. [SAM makes a face.] Sorry.

DEAN smashes the coffin with a mallet.

INT. – SUCROCORP OFFICE – DAY

CROWLEY
"...in which case, the party of the second part forfeits all rights to Canada ad infinitum." I think we're done here.

DICK ROMAN
Susan!

SUSAN enters.

SUSAN
Yes, sir.

DICK ROMAN
Take this from Mr. Crowley, make triplicates, get pens and a notary. We're ready to sign this puppy.

INT. – RUFUS’S CABIN – DAY

DEAN tosses a lit match into a bowl. Flames rise and then die down. DEAN and SAM look around.

DEAN
Is he trying to make a grand entrance or...?

SAM
I don't know...

DEAN
Son of a bitch. He's standing us up.

SAM
Well, we summoned him. Doesn't he kind of have to –

DEAN
If Crowley wants to screw you, he'll screw you.

SAM
Or... he can't come 'cause something went wrong.

DEAN
Maybe.

There is a knock at the door. SAM takes out his gun.

DEAN
Maybe it's good news.

SAM looks through a hole in the door, then opens the door to let in MEG.

MEG
You deal with him. I can't anymore.

DEAN
You might want to be more specific.

MEG
I was laying low halfway across the world when emo boy pops up out of nowhere and zaps me right back here.

DEAN
Why?

MEG
Go ask him. He was your boyfriend first.

EXT. – RUFUS’S CABIN – DAY

“Vincent” by Don Maclean plays.

♪ Look out on a summer's day ♪

♪ with eyes that know the darkness in my soul ♪

♪ Shadows on the hills ♪

DEAN walks over to a vehicle parked in front of the cabin. CASTIEL is sitting in the driver’s seat.

♪ Sketch the trees... ♪

DEAN leans in the open passenger window.

DEAN
Hey, there.

CASTIEL raises a hand in greeting.

♪ ...and the daffodils ♪

♪ Catch the breeze and the winter chills ♪

DEAN straightens up, closes his eyes, shakes his head and sighs before leaning in the passenger window again.

♪ in colors on the snowy linen land ♪

DEAN
So, Cas, what's, uh, what's, uh, what’s the word?

♪ Now I understand ♪

CASTIEL
Well, Dean, I've been thinking. Monkeys are so... clever, and they're sensible in that they leave the skins on the bananas that they eat. Is it really necessary to test cosmetics on them? I mean, how important is lipstick to you, Dean?

♪ Perhaps they’ll listen now ♪

DEAN
Not very. You want to come inside and, uh, tell us what's going on?

INT. – RUFUS’S CABIN – DAY

CASTIEL
Now, you understand I don't participate in aggressive activity.

CASTIEL picks up a bone and sniffs it.

CASTIEL
Mm. Sister Mary Constant. Good choice.

DEAN
Why'd you go to Meg, Cas?

CASTIEL
When I left, I wanted to observe the flowers – and fruit. Flowers come first, obviously. But I heard nothing from them.

SAM
You heard nothing from who?

CASTIEL
The Garrison.

SAM
What happened to the Garrison?

CASTIEL
Well, finally, the silence was deafening, so I went to look... to the home of the Prophet. You know, Leviathan can kill angels. There's a reason why Father locked them in Purgatory. They're the Piranha that would eat the whole aquarium. They're gone. The entire Garrison – dead. If there's anyone left at all, they're in hiding.

DEAN
Um, I'm sorry. If the angels are dead, where's Kevin?

CASTIEL
I could steal them from their cages, the monkeys. But where would I put them all?

DEAN
Hey! [He claps his hands.] Focus. Is Kevin alive?

CASTIEL
I don't want to fight.

DEAN
No, I'm not – [very calmly] we're worried.

CASTIEL
They took him. He's alive. I felt such responsibility, but it's in your hands now.

DEAN
Wait. Hold on a freakin' minute.

CASTIEL
I feel much better.

MEG
Guys, what's all that?

MEG looks at SAM and DEAN's spell paraphernalia.

SAM
We called Crowley.

MEG
You what?

DEAN
Don't worry. He never showed.

MEG
What do you mean never –

DEAN
Do you see him anywhere? He stood us up.

MEG
Well, I'm sorry about that, but I'm outie. He could still sh–

CROWLEY
Show up at any time. Hello, boys. Sorry I'm late. This is an embarrassment of riches.
