TEASER
[Curtains open, and we see a stage where a scene from a Supernatural musical is rehearsed.
While a young lady is reading on a sofa, the lights start flickering. A spooky music starts to
play.]
(A fake ghost falls from the ceiling. The actress screams, and through the fake door, "Sam"
aka Maggie, and "Dean", aka Siobhan, burst.)
MARIE : Cut ! (The camera turns around, and we see Marie, her assistant Maeve, and the
drama teacher, Ms. Chandler, sitting in the audience.) Maggie ? Siobhan ? Is this some kind
of a joke to you ? Siobhan, this scene takes place before the events of Carver Edlund's
unpublished masterpiece, "Dark Side of the Moon".
SIOBHAN : So ?
SIOBHAN : Oh ! (She takes off her wig.) I took it off. It kept hitting me in the lips, and...
MARIE : That amulet is the symbol of the Winchesters' brotherly love ! You need to take one
for the team.
MS. CHANDLER : Hey both ! (They don't listen.) Hey, both ! Ok ! I've got three weeks of
this crap show, and I am done. There is too much drama in the drama department. I'm going
to principal Salazar in the morning.
(On those words, Ms. Chandler leaves. Marie turns around to face her actresses.)
MARIE : Alright, everybody back to one ! Until we are all suspended, the show must go on.
(Ms. Chandler gets out of the school, and walks while on the phone.)
MS. CHANDLER : Why couldn't they just do "Godspell" like good little skanks ? Instead it's
this... awful, unbelievable horror story. (She drinks from her flask.) Hmm ! Like that stuff
really happens ! Huh, theater is about life. You know ? Truth ! Truth ! Where is the truth in
Supernatural ?
(A noise coming from the bushes catches her attention. She tries to see what did it, when
suddenly, some branches grab her and make her disappear through the bushes. Her phone falls
on the floor, at the same time as a purple flower.)
(Meanwhile, Marie and Maeve take a look at their title card : an neon Supernatural sign.)
MARIE : I mean, it's close, but it's just.... It needs a little more grrrr !
TITLE CARDS
ACT ONE
[Dean is working on Baby, while Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown is playing. Sam comes out
from their motel room.]
DEAN : Hey !
SAM : Long enough to... I take it that means you're feeling back to normal ?
DEAN : Yeah, whatever normal is in our world. So, huh, right here. (He takes a newspaper to
show it to Sam.) A teacher in an all girls school went missing in Flint, Michigan. She was
heading to her car, disappeared, and nobody's seen her since.
SAM : Dean, there's nothing here that even remotely suggest there is a case.
DEAN : There is nothing that even remotely suggest there isn't a case. Boom !
DEAN : Sam ! Out there, hunting. It's the only normal I know. (They look at each other, then
Dean puts his rifle in Baby's trunk.) We got work to do. (He closes the trunk.)
(They drive to the girls high school in the state of Michigan. While Dean stops the car, Sam is
on the phone.)
SAM : Yeah, of course ! Yeah, I certainly appreciate it. You got it. Thanks, officer. (He hangs
up, then, they get out of the car.) So, the last place Ms. Chandler was seen by anyone was in
the auditorium. Turns out she's the drama teacher.
DEAN : Barely. You did Our Town, which was cool. But then, you did that crappy musical.
(A sign is held up on the entrance of the school, while Sam and Dean enter. Principal Salazar
leads them to the auditorium.)
(Suddenly, a few notes are played on a piano, and some scenes on stage, while Siobhan sings
what we can see.)
MARIE : Cut !
(Marie goes on stage to direct her actresses. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean are trying to deal with
what they just saw.)
MAEVE : Amateurs ?
(Marie runs to Sam and Dean, followed by Maeve. Meanwhile, Siobhan complains to
Maggie.)
MARIE : Hi ! Oh my gosh... Are you guys from the publisher ? I'm Marie, writer slash
director. This is Maeve, my stage manager, and I was just, uh, dir-
(She stops when she sees Sam's badge. Dean tries to show his own badge, but when Sam
realises the actresses who play Sam and Dean are doing the same, he stops his brother.)
DEAN : Smith.
DEAN : Hah ! Well... I mean, if there was singing, you know... And that's a big if ! If there
was singing, it would be classic rock. Not this Andrew Floyd Webber crap -
DEAN : What ?
MARIE : Well ! You know, we do sing a cover of Carry On Wayward Son, in the second act.
DEAN : Oh !
SAM : Really ?
SAM : Right. Anyways. We're here to talk about the disappearance of Ms. Chandler. Any
chance you two saw her, before she vanished ?
SAM : Any idea where she would be headed at that time of night ?
MARIE : She had a nasty divorce, last year. Most of the time, she's sipping on her, uh, grown-
up juice, or passed out. Usually, in that order.
DEAN : Yeah, well, I don't blame her. I'm gonna need fifty yellow shots and a oz down to get
this stick off of me.
DEAN : What ?
SAM : That's great ! That's great. Jody Mills, that's great. So ! How about you give a... behind
the scenes tour, while your director show my partner Ms. Chandler's office ? Deal ? (The girls
nod.) Great. Give us a moment, please.
MARIE : Ok.
(Maeve gives a nasty look to Dean while going back to the stage.)
SAM : I mean, I gotta say, it's kind of charming. The production value, and the... No ?
(Seeing his brother's look). No, no. I'm gonna check for EMF. You look for... cursed objects.
(Sam leaves. Later, Dean follows Marie and gets a glimpse at the behind the scenes,
especially at the fake weapons.)
MARIE : Some parts homemade, some parts repurposed. All of it, awesome- (Dean can't help
himself and tries the fake rifle. Marie runs to him and takes the rifle from his hands.) Don't.
Please, don't.
MARIE : No ! The boy melodrama scene ! (Dean looks confused.) You know, the scene
where the boys get together, and they're-they're driving, or leaning against Baby. Drinking a
beer, sharing their feelings. (The Americana theme is playing, while Dean is looking at the
B.M. scene.) The two of them. Alone. But together. Bonded. United. The power of the
brotherly-
(Siobhan and Maggie look at Marie, confused, and awkwardly put some distance between
them.)
(In the sounds and lights room, Sam asks some questions to Maeve.)
SAM : Now, have you noticed anything strange during the production ? I mean, any odd
noises, or, huh-
MAEVE : You mean, something like this ? (She pushes a button, we hear a scream.) Or
perhaps, this ? (Another button, another weird voice.)
SAM : I-I got it. Thanks. You know, back when I did tech in school, we had two CD decks-
MAEVE : I'm sorry, I have to go sign the delivery. Please, don't touch anything.
(She leaves. Sam can't resist and plays with the lights, while Siobhan and Maggie are on
stage.)
SAM : Sorry !
(Marie lead Dean to Ms. Chandler's office. Dean looks at the empty bottles, then stumbles
upon a robot's head.)
MARIE : No ! That's a prop from act two ! I've been looking for that, actually.
MARIE : Call it whatever you like, ok ? It's inspired by Carver Edlund's books. With a few
embellishments. But, as you know, Chuck stopped writing after Swan Song. I just- I couldn't
leave it the way that it was ! I mean, Dean not hunting anymore, living with Lisa ?! Sam,
somehow back from Hell, but not with Dean ?! So, I wrote my own ending.
DEAN : You wrote your own ending. With spaceships ?
MARIE : And robots. And some ninjas. And then, Dean becomes a woman. (Dean stares at
her.) It's just for a few scenes !
DEAN : Alright, Shakespeare ! You know that I can actually tell you what really happened
with the-the Sam and Dean ? A friend of mine hooked me up with the, uh, unpublished
unpublished books. So, Sam came back from Hell. But without a soul. Then, Cas' brought in a
bunch of leviathans from Purgatory. They lost Bobby. And then, Cas' and Dean got stuck in
Purgatory, Sam hit a dog. They met a prophet named Kevin, they lost him too. Then Sam
endured a series of trials, in an attempt to close the gates of Hell. Which nearly cost him his
life. Then Dean ? Dean became a demon. Knight of Hell, actually.
MARIE : Wow...
DEAN : Yep.
MARIE : That is some of the worst fan fiction that I've ever heard ! I mean, seriously, I don't
know where your friend found this garbage ! I am not saying that ours is masterpiece, or
anything, but geez ! Ha ! I'll have to send you some fic links later.
(Dean sees Siobhan and Kristen, still with their Dean and Cas costumes, kissing.)
MARIE : Oh, no. Siobhan and Kristen are a couple in real life. Although, we do explore the
nature of Destiel in act two.
MARIE : Oh, it's just subtext ! But, then again, you know, you can't spell subtext without.... s-
e-x.
(Dean lets the words sink in, then gives a "seriously" look at the camera.)
(After that, Dean comes back to his brother, outside the school. He just explained everything
about the "destiel" part.)
DEAN : Me neither.
SAM : (smirks) No, of course it's not my issue. You know... How about Sastiel ? Samstiel ?
DEAN : Ok, alright. You know what ? You're gonna do that thing, where you just shut the
hell up. Forever.
(Sam laughs.)
SAM : Look, man. No EMF. No hexbags. None of the props are even remotely hincky. Other
than the Charlie Kaufman of it all, I got nothing. You ?
DEAN : In Ms. Chandler's office, there's just a pile of empty bottles and regret. She's just
probably face down in a bar, somewhere. Or a ditch. Alright, so what ? This-this all... This
whole musical thing, everything, it's... It's all a coincidence ? There is no case ?
SAM : Unless you're seeing something I'm not, no, Dean. There's no case, here.
DEAN : Ok.
SAM : CasDean ?
(Sam gets in, followed by Dean who made sure nobody heard his brother. They drive away.)
(Night's in. Marie follows Maggie outside of the school. Maggie seems pissed.)
MAGGIE : Everyone else is willing to follow your little dictatorship. But not me. I've been
telling you all along, Marie. If it's not canon, then it shouldn't be in the show. You know, we
should've done The Outsiders, like I told you.
MAGGIE : I'm going to principal Salazar's in the morning. Gonna do what Ms. Chandler was
too drunk to finish.
(Maggie starts to walk away, while Marie goes back inside. Suddenly, Maggie faces a
scarecrow. The monster grabs her and takes her away. Marie, who heard Maggie's screaming,
comes back outside, just to see the monster leaving with her friend.)
ACT TWO
[Sam and Dean are back to the auditorium. Dean comes to Sam, just after the latter was done
with an officer.]
DEAN : So, I checked with the principal. There's nothing on the surveillance tapes. What the
-what the cops think ?
SAM : You know, the only clue they found was by the dumpster. They found the same
flower, near Ms. Chandler's cell phone. (Sam show the flower to Dean.) You recognize it ?
DEAN : No.
(The boys go to Marie and Maeve. Maeve got Marie a coffee. Marie looks pretty shaken.)
SAM : Hey.
MARIE : Let me guess. You guys came here to laugh at me too. Right ?
MARIE : Maggie quit the show. She was trying to get it shut down, so, we were fighting.
Then, she-she left, and I heard her scream. So, I ran outside to help. And... And I saw a
scarecrow. It looked just like the one from our show. But... Alive.
MARIE : It wrapped her in vines, and took her behind the dumpster. And then, there were
both just... gone. So, I called the cops, and a bunch of adults just told me, I have an overactive
imagination. But, it's all real. Ghosts. Angels. Demons.
SAM : You should believe. You both should. Cause, it is all real. And so are we. I'm Sam
Winchester. That's Dean.
(Maeve and Marie look at Sam and Dean, then at each other. Then, they start laughing.)
MARIE : Ok ! Now, look. I'm willing to accept that monsters are real. But those books are
works of fiction.
MAEVE : And you guys are way too old to be Sam, or Dean.
MARIE : Oh, yeah !
DEAN : Ok. Alright. Little miss sunshine. We are what the books called hunters.
DEAN : Yeah.
SAM : Sure. Yeah, you can say that. So, this scarecrow, from your musical, is it based on the
one from the books ?
MARIE : No, I changed it. I got scared of a local legend, when I was a kid. There was this old
creepy scarecrow, on an abandoned farm, oustide of town. Kids used to say, if it caught you,
it would take you away.
DEAN : Ok. If this scarecrow is based over your version, then Ms. Chandler and Maggie
might still be alive.
(They all go to the school's library. Sam puts a book, opened on the tulpa's page, in front of
Marie and Maeve.)
SAM : Tulpas are monsters that are created by an intense, focused energy on an idea, or-
MARIE : Or a story.
MARIE : Well, in Hell House, Sam and Dean burnt the house down, to take out the one tulpa
they hunted.
DEAN : Yeah, yeah, you kill the symbol, you kill the tulpa. It's a- actually, a pretty good start.
So, the scarecrow on your play. Is it a person, or a prop ?
SAM : That's, uh, great. Hum... Can you guys read up ? Just, give us a sec'. (Sam and Dean
goes away to have a conversation.) Fine, so, this doesn't add up. Tulpas require a ton of
psychic energy to juice up.
DEAN : Yeah.
SAM : Well, it's not like the Supernatural books are tearing up the New York Times best-
seller list. And I seriously doubt this play has even sold out.
SAM : Well, but, you know what ? This flower. I know I've seen it in the lore, somewhere.
There's gotta be a connection.
DEAN : Alright. You get on that, I'm gonna take a shot at burning man.
SAM : Yeah.
DEAN : Yeah.
(Dean and Marie enters the boiler room. The scarecrow is hidden under an old blanket.)
(Dean comes closer to the thing, takes off the blanket, to reveal the monster. Which turns out
to be less terrifying than expected.)
DEAN : Really ?
MARIE : Asshat ? Nice ! It's, uh, very Dean. No. He's all yours, agent Smith.
(Dean cut the thing in several pieces, then, with Marie's help, he puts it through the fire.)
(Once they're done, they go back, victorious, to the library. Dean opens the door for Marie.)
DEAN : What ?
DEAN : Who ?
SAM: She's associated with this - the borage, or starflower. That's the picture.
DEAN : Ok, wait. If this is a god thing, then what's with the scarecrow ?
SAM : According to the lore, Calliope manifests creatures from the story she's tuned into.
MARIE : So... The scarecrow is still alive, and we burned my prop for nothing ?
SAM : Right. She uses these manifestations, like the scarecrow, to inspire the author, and
protect them, until their vision has realised.
MARIE : Ok, that's bad ! Um... Well ! You get your wish. Let's cancel the show.
SAM : That's what your teacher and your classmate did. They tried to shut you down, and the
scarecrow took them. Protecting you, and the show.
DEAN : Ok, so, the scarecrow is the boogeyman. We got to take our shot with this, uh...
SAM : Calliope.
DEAN : Calliope. But she won't show herself until - your vision has realised.
ACT THREE
SAM : Why don't you guys rally Marie ? I'm gonna, uh, grab some wooden stakes in the
trunk, an do the blessing.
(Sam leaves, letting Dean and Maeve with the challenge of calming Marie down.)
DEAN : Not gonna happen. Soon as that curtain rises, we're gonna be there to take out this
Calliope. (He goes check on Marie.) Hey ! Hey. How are you doing, champ ?
MARIE : This... This is all my fault. If I hadn't written this dumb play, none of this would've
happened.
DEAN : Yeah, I don't. Look, like, at all. But you do. Ok ? And I need you to believe in it with
all you got. So that we can kill Calliope, and we can save your friends. Can you do that ?
MARIE : Yeah. You're right. If Sam and Dean were real, they wouldn't back down from a
fight. Especially my sweet, brave, selfless Sam. There's nothing he can't do.
DEAN : No...
MARIE : Ok. Let's do this. I understudy Sam, so... (She grabs a wig.) I used this for my one-
woman Orphan Black show, last year. But it's gonna have to work for Sam. (She puts the wig
on her head.) Writer. Director. Actor. I'm gonna Barbra Streisand this bitch.
(It's time for the show ! The audience comes in. Flyers are given to them. Behind the scenes,
Marie, Dean and Sam give the last instructions to the actors, before they come on stage.)
MARIE (checking on the costumes) : Ok ! Good. Good. Ok. Good. (To Siobhan.) Alright.
Samulet ?
(Sam comes in with two wooden stakes. He gives one to his brother.)
SAM : Hey.
MARIE : Oh ! I-I, I love him. I do ! But honestly, the whole author introducting himself into
the narrative thing, it's just not my favorite. I kind of hate the meta stories.
DEAN : Alright, listen up, girls. Now, you're all here, because you love Supernatural.
DEAN : Yeah, that'd have been easier. I know I have expressed some differences of opinion,
regarding this particular version of Supernatural. But tonight, it is all about Marie's vision.
This is Marie's Supernatural. So, I want you to get out there, and I want you to stand as close
as she wants you to, and I want you to put as much sub and add text, as you possibly can.
There is no other road. No other way. No day, but today.
DEAN : Now, you get out there, and you kick it in the ass !
KRISTEN!CASTIEL : Alright !
MARIE : Bring it in !
EVERYONE : Ghooooost-facerssss !
MARIE : Good evening, everybody ! Welcome to our production of Supernatural. I'm not
gonna lie. It might be a full on Gallagher show opening up this piece. Uh, so, those of you in
the front rows may want to use the ponchos we provided for you, under your seats. You may,
in fact, get wet on this ride. (While she talks, Sam gives some ok signs to Dean.) Um, I would
like to thank the, uh, cast and crew-
(The music starts, interrupting Marie, and making some people laugh.)
MARIE : Ok, um... And-and, that, concludes our introduction for the night. So, everybody
just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
(Dean tries to warn Sam that the scarecrow is behind him. Sam doesn't understand.)
(While the show is still playing, Dean runs backstage to try to help Sam, but it's too late.
Marie sees Sam disappear with the scarecrow.)
ACT FOUR
[Sam wakes up in the school's basement. Maggie and Ms. Chandler are looking at him,
worried.]
(Sam stands up and goes to the door. He tries to open it, but it stays closed.)
(Sam walks toward Calliope, but with her powers, the goddess pins him to the door.)
(The Castiel's song starts playing. Dean goes to Marie, who looks very worried.)
DEAN : Just, stick to the plan, ok ? Keep singing, until the scarecrow comes for you.
(Applause.)
CALLIOPE : I've consumed many authors. Many stories. But tonight, soon as that curtain
opened, I knew something special was brewing with this one. Maybe it's because the story's
actual inspiration's here. I don't know. I guess I'm gonna have to kill you and your brother to
find out.
SAM : Don't you have to wait, until the vision has been realized ?
CALLIOPE : (smirks) Oh, gods ! If I have to sit through that second act, one more time...
There's robots, and tentacles, and space. I can't even.
(A Single Man Tear is playing. Time for Marie to go on stage and sing. Dean is keeping an
eye on her.)
(While Siobhan is ready to sing her part, the scarecrow appears. Dean sees him and jumps on
him, forgetting he's on stage, right in front of the audience.)
MAEVE : Ok ! We're through the looking glass, here, people. Strike the wendigo set, let's
prep the priests costumes. And Sarah ? Get understudies into hair and makeup.
CALLIOPE : Supernatural has everything. Life. Death. Ressurection. Redemption. But above
all, family. All sorts of music you can really tap your toe to. It isn't some meandering piece of
genre dreck. It's... epic !
(Siobhan keeps singing, despite Dean still fighting the scarecrow on stage.)
(Maggie hits Calliope on the head with a book. On stage, the fight isn't looking so well for
Dean. The scarecrow throws him away, and starts walking toward Marie. A Single Man Tear
keeps playing. Ms. Chandler gives back the stake to Sam, while Marie grabs the one Dean let
down.)
(At the same time Sam stabs Calliope, Marie stabs the scarecrow. For a moment, it seems like
the scarecrow will fall on the people sitting in the front rows. But then, Calliope explodes. So
do the scarecrow, throwing some purple goo on the audience. Silence falls on the audience.
Then, the poncho guy stands up, applaudes, followed by the whole audience. Marie smiles,
surprised and satisfied.)
(While the audience give them a standing ovation, Marie, Siobhan and Dean take a bow.
Curtains close. Time for an intermission.)
ACT FIVE
MAEVE : Usually, this is when Sam and Dean take off, before anyone asks any questions.
SAM : Sure.
MAEVE : You know ? If you'd cut your hair a little, you'd make a pretty good Dean.
SAM : Thanks.
DEAN : Ok.
(She gives him the samulet. He takes it, then tries to give it back.)
DEAN : It never really worked. And, I don't need a symbol to remind me how I feel about my
brother, so...
DEAN : Bitch. (He quickly realises that's not Sam he's talking to, and tries to say something,
but can't find the right words. Marie doesn't seem to mind as she laughs at his awkward
reaction.) Right. Ok. (While they're getting ready to play a new scene on stage, Dean comes
back next to Sam.) Well, I guess we can go back at staring at motel room walls.
SAM : You know what, Dean ? You were right. Staying cooped up isn't helping us. We need-
MARIE!SAM : We need to get back on the road, Dean. Doing what we do best.
MARIE!SAM : Saving people, hunting things. You know ? The family business.
SIOBHAN!DEAN : You're right, Sammy. Out on the road. Just the two of us.
(Sam and Dean are watching the scene. Sam, seeing Adam.)
(Dean and Sam look at each other. They kind of forgot about Adam.)
(As the song plays, we see the emotion on Sam's and Dean's faces, while they understand how
the song really makes sense regarding their lives. Lights fade while the audience applaude the
show. The last thing we see from that scene, is the proud smile Marie wears on her face.)
(Back on the road. No words are said. Instead, Dean puts the samulet on Baby's rearview. The
brothers look at each other and smile, while the Impala is driving away, on the horizon.)
(Marie is busy receiving compliments from some audience members. Maeve runs to her.
Marie says goodbye to her fans.)
(We see the arm of a man. When Marie sees him, she's shocked.)
MARIE : Oh my gosh ! But wait... That means that- Calliope came for me or for- ?
(Marie leaves her flowers to Maeve, and runs up the stairs, to the man who came for her.)
MARIE : Hum... Hi ! Thank you... so much for coming ! Uh... I know the second act is a little
bit wanky, and the first act has some issues, but.... What did you think ?
(The camera finally reveals who is the man. Turns out it's Chuck. He salutes Marie with a
kind smile.)
(The camera shows us Chuck's smile one last time, then, the screen fades to black.)
