“Come on, now. You tried to hang it up and be a person with Lisa and Ben. And now here you are with a mean old coot and a van full of guns. That ain’t person behavior, son. You’re a hunter, meaning you’re whatever the job you’re doing today.” [Bobby Singer, 7.09]
This actually makes me a little sad for Dean. Dean is not at all known for talking about feelings, his or anyone elses, and when he does have some moment of weakness, some verbal freak out, or some expression self doubt, the responses aren’t comforting, or reassuring. They’re not gentle, or kind. They’re rude and condescending, they toss around names, and instead of actively listening they discount his feelings and worries.
