"I know."
"Can't we help?"
"Apparently not."
"The angels aren't helping at all John, it's so unfair."

"Our boys could fail John. Sam can't last – he's collapsing."
"He's not. He won't."
"John, I know this is the plan, but I never thought it would be like this - our boys are suffering and I hate it."
"Sam's gonna be okay, Mary."
"But how can you be sure?"
"Because he has Dean."
"... and Dean has the amulet?"
"Yes."
John crossed his fingers.
So did Mary.
