Awesome.

[When the camera pans around at first all you see is jeans and boots before he's got it up and focused on his face. Dean flashes the receiver an unimpressed look, whatever this was he didn't want to be in on the joke.]

As far as abduction sequences go, the digs are nice. I'll give you that. Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered, but I so don't do Stockholm.

[Zachariah might want him to sign up and put his body on layaway for the apocalypse but he didn't have any plans to go belly up. As far as he was concerned, there was still a shot, and he'd only consent to Michael if he didn't have any other choice. He was a lot of things, but letting someone else do his dirty work wasn't his style.]

Whatever sick twisted things you had planned, I don't go that way. ...No matter what you've heard.

[Dean takes a minute to scratch the side of his cheek, and then sets his jaw and squares his shoulders. The usual off-the-cuff sarcasm is still as confident as ever, but he's over the showmanship. Broadcasting wasn't his bag.]

And anybody else that wants to feed me another line of crap about mirrors and royalty, don't waste your time. The creep I'm looking for has Fifty Shades of Douche written all over him.

It isn't so much that people are adjusted, I think, but that they don't really have a choice but to either cope, or go mad.

[She hasn't so far run into anyone who's gone completely mad, but she's still not going to rule it out. As for his last sentence, though,]

-- as a mage, I find it interesting as well. There's so many different kinds of magic here, gathered in one place -- it's a lot to take in, even discounting the magic of Wonderland itself.

So if this place can rope in people with actual juice, why hasn't anyone actually tried banding together to get some distance? You're a mage, whatever that is, and I've met plenty of other people today that could do something more than twiddle their thumbs. What's the hold-up?

[As much as Dean might not want to admit it, he's pretty sure it has something to do with the mirrors or the repercussions of trying. He's not mad, just looking for information and results. There's nothing in his tone besides weariness and frustration. It's not her fault he's here, but he's getting information one way or another.]

People have certainly tried, but most ways of escape -- magical or otherwise, it seems -- haven't been successful. You can't simply -- blow up a wall and walk out of here into your own time again, and I haven't any idea about a spell that could work.

[There's almost certainly a tie-in to the mirrors and the other side, but Bethany isn't exactly on the up-and-up about that.]

Again, the people who've been here longer than me might be of more help.

Look, I'm just trying to weigh the pros and cons here. Way too many people have smoking guns and collaborative effort seems like the best way to go. Maybe these guys have it figured out on their end, but that doesn't mean we have to sit around with our thumbs up our ass.

[Dean's gonna have to talk to Sam about the numbers of people that have magic or something else on their side. Better safe than sorry. He wants the numbers and specifics. He might not be a college graduate but he knows enough to wrap his head around this whole thing early on.]

[She'd felt the same sort of urgency when she'd arrived here, so she can't say that she blames him -- nor that she thinks what he's saying is wrong.]

I think that you're right that we would not be able to take this place on single-handedly.

[She's just going to avoid commenting on the other part.]

And I'm sure that if you did ask for the experiences of those who've tried to escape this place, they'd be happy to share with you.

Thanks. You've been a lot of help.

[Dean doesn't need to push it, his attention has been split three different ways and patience for other conversations have worn thin. He's also got a sense that talking about bailing doesn't sit well with the majority, and he's better off asking someone he knows from home.]
