[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.

Might not say it every day, but I'm glad you're here.

Did you get my gift?

[Dean can't see it, obviously, but that does get a little smile out of John.]

Yeah, got it right here. It's good.

[Yeah, he's already cracked it open, sue him.]

Thanks. You didn't have to get me anything, you know that.

I wanted to.

[That's all Dean says. He could go into how hard John tried, and how much he still does but that's too much touchy feely crap for both of them. He'd rather get it across without the soap opera.]

Try to pace yourself.
