Thanks for the memory jog, ita, I can place it now. Sticking with quarters.

Bracket #1

• Proud of you – aw John I kind of loved you for that and then you had to go and tell him he might have to kill his brother, sigh.
• Clowns kill – it’s all in the delivery…I find myself quoting this line a lot
• I eat – ILU Dean
• Swayze’d mother – hee proud ghost Dean

Bracket #2

• Should’ve stayed dead – breaks my heart –woobie Dean
• Let me help – this was amazingly hard – I picked this one because Sam was trying to lift Dean’s burden
• Aquarius Dean – because you are adorable, it’s true.
• Assume we’re gay – it was the delivery, Jensen has such great delivery. I won’t miss this quote when it goes.

Bracket #3

• What am I supposed to do? – Absolutely heartbreaking. Wordy but OMG every fucking word just guts me
• What’s dead should stay dead – reasonable belief
• Adorable Dean – see Aquarius Dean

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #1/4:

JOHN:You know, when you were a kid, I'd come home from a hunt, and after what I'd seen, I'd be, I'd be wrecked. And you, you'd come up to me and you, you'd put your hand on my shoulder and you'd look me in the eye and you'd... You'd say "It's okay, Dad" Dean, I'm sorry. DEAN:What? JOHN: You shouldn't have had to say that to me, I should have been saying that to you. You know, I put, I put too much on your shoulders, I made you grow up too fast. You took care of Sammy, you took care of me. You did that, and you didn't complain, not once. I just want you to know that I am so proud of you. (A rare nice John moment - also Dean character enlightenment)

Dean: Planes crash! Sam: And apparently clowns kill! (Ah - brotherly love and so very, very funny)

Dean: Did you bring quarters? Sam: Dude, I'm not enabling your sick habit. You're like one of those lab rats that pushes the pleasure button instead of the food button until it dies. Dean: What are you talking about? I eat. (Still funny)

Dean: I full-on Swayze'd that mother! (Because it's excellent)

You know, I would almost swear I've seen the scene that John's describing in the "I'm proud of you" quote. It's so totally in character once it's revealed. And when you put that beside Dean comforting his mother after the fight, the Weechester Dean woobiness goes through the roof.

I'm not gonna put a why here, aside from noting that I've gone from not watching the show to full-on Dean's girl in less than a month. Ah, well.

Cas will kill me if I try anything.

S2, B1:

So proud of you.

Don't listen to him, baby. He doesn't understand us.

Did you bring quarters?

I full-on Swayze'd that mother!

S2, B2

Sammy's always getting a little J. Love Hewitt when it comes to this.

Dean, you're my brother, alright? So whatever you're carrying, let me help a little bit.

But our work in theory, is that were looking for some kind of Vengeful Spirit.

It's not food anymore, Dean! It's Darwinism!

S2, B3

What am I supposed to do? Sammy? What am I supposed to do?

Yeah, you can't kill Death.

I think I’m adorable.

He full-on Obi-Wan'd me!

S2, B4

I couldn't have done it without your pathetic, self-loathing, self-destructive desire to sacrifice yourself for your family.

The return of "Bitch/Jerk"

Don’t worry, Sam - I promise I won't trade you for smokes.

You're bossy... and short.

Oh Dean...I just...there are no words for how much I want to hug you into forever.

ita I just noticed one of your reasons and I just want to say yes, this!

It wasn't John's son that saved the world, it was Dean's brother.

Bracket 1:
I am so proud of you
And apparently clowns kill!
I'm not enabling your sick habit.
I'm starting to get a little bit scared that he might be right

Bracket 2
what could you possibly say to make that alright
So whatever you're carrying, let me help a little bit
And his two loving sons
why do these people assume we're gay

Bracket 3
What am I supposed to do
What's dead should stay dead.
I think I’m adorable.
Yeah. All right

Bracket 4
You have to sweeten the pot
You're supposed to say jerk.
That's School House Rock
I think it's kinda like a slave.

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #2/4:

Dean: Sam, you and dad, you’re the most important people in my life. And now... I never should have come back Sam, it wasn't natural, and now look whats come of it. I was dead and I should've stayed dead. You wanted to know I was feeling, well thats it. So tell me, what could you possibly say to make that alright?

Sam: Come on Dean, not now! We were just starting to be brothers again.

Sam: Elroy McGillicuddy? John: And his two loving sons.

Dean: Of course, the most troubling question is why do these people assume we're gay?

Sumi, when you vote can you vote for a whole bracket at a time and note which bracket it is? It makes it easier to track.

I seem to have lost parts of my last post.

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #3/4:

Dean: When you were little, couldn't have been more than five, you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why did we always have to move around? Where's Dad? I remember I begged you: "Quit asking, Sammy. You don't want to know." I just wanted you to be a kid, just for a little while longer. Always tried to protect you. Keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. It was just always my responsibility, you know? It's like I had one job. I had one job, and I screwed it up. I blew it, and for that, I'm sorry. I guess that’s what I do. I let down the people I love. You know, I let Dad down, and now I guess I’m just supposed to let you down, too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy? What am I supposed to do?

Dean: What's dead should stay dead.

Dean: L.A. A young girl got kidnapped by an evil cult. Sam: Yeah, and does this girl have a name? Dean: Katie Holmes Sam: That's funny... and for you, so bitchy.

Sam: If there's just one part worth saving... Bobby: Yeah. All right. (Because it's Metallicar)
