I don't quite—see. How the comparison is apt. Dean suggested a vacation. In order to . . . find. His place. I suppose. [The process of forming an identity through a road trip is just weird to the ex-angel, but he won't admit that. Fake it till you make it, right?] The scarecrow in the narrative you speak of, however, goes on a quest to find a brain. Dean has a brain. Quite obviously so, as he wouldn't be alive without one.

It is a metaphor? For what? I'm afraid I still don't understand.

Are you talking about The Wizard of Oz?

[human_nature]

Yes. [That's the answer. But that's also . . . awkward. So after a pause he shifts a little, then adds:]

I am Castiel. Who are you?

[over_identifies]

Uh...hi. I'm Sam. And yeah, the brain thing is probably a metaphor.

[human_nature]

[Oh, huh. Sam. He supposes it's a gender neutral name. Inclines his head in greeting; hello. Then raises an eyebrow.]

What is it trying to express?

[over_identifies]

Well, see, The Wizard of Oz is a story about trying to find out who you are and learning that you have great things inside of you, you never knew were there.

Must be nice...

How is it that you haven't seen The Wizard of Oz, exactly?
