[John's never really been a fan of Father's Day. However, the very pointed recent absence of one child, and cake from a girl who isn't even his daughter has John unusually chatty and pensive about this whole thing.]

never really got the idea of father's day. what's the point of taking one day to thank your father when you should be taking every day?

then there's the assholes who don't deserve it at all.

[The problem here is he's not sure which camp he actually belongs in.]

anyway, happy father's day.

You ain't one of them, John.

[No, she watched you claw yourself out of hell to give the boys the Colt. You went to hell to save Dean's life. You aren't a shitty father... flawed, overeager to throw yourself to demons, sure, but not a shitty father.]

[Well that...catches him off guard, to be sure. He laughs.]

I never thought I'd hear you say that, El.
