Episode 4.4 Sides

In the Beginning

Int. Diner -Day

John and Rick sit side by side at the counter. Rick asks where the hell he is and the Kid sitting close to them looks up, but John answers that Rick's at Chase's Diner. Rick quickly retorts a thanks since by the décor it's fairly obvious the name of the place and presses John for the City and state.

John returns that it's Lawrence, Kansas. Rick is reeling from that tidbit of information and John asks if Rick is okay. Rick covers saying that he just had a rough night. That was damn near close to stating the obvious from the way Rick looks and John asks Reg, the counter man, to get some coffee.

Rick pulls out his cell phone, to which John stares at in weired out fascination. Rick asks where he can get reception and John hesitates before saying the USS Enterprise. Reg approaches with the coffee and Rick thanks him, also comments on Reg's outfit joking that Sonny and Cher broke up right?

John looks up from his paper, straight-faced, and asks if it's true that Sonny and Cher broke up. Then before getting to truly digest the rumor, Mr. Dodds, 40s, yells out for Winchester. John shakes the Mr. Dodd's hand. Dodd's asks how Corporal Winchester's been doing.

Mr. Dodds says that he heard John just got back and John replies that he's been back for a while now. Mr. Dodds says he's glad to have John home and John agrees saying that makes two of them. Mr. Dodds then gets serious, and comments that he heard it got pretty rough over there. John returns just as serious that it did, but he's home now. Mr. Dodds asks what's next for John and John says that he's got some big plans.

Mr. Dodd's tells John to say hello to his old man for him, and John says he will. Mr. Dodds walks away from the conversation and John realizes that Rick is staring at him, and it's starting to get creepy.

John questions if Rick and he know each other. Rick says he guesses not, but John takes a long look at Rick like he can't figure him out. John finally gives in and points Rick in the direction of Woodstock.

John and Mary are sharing a booth, mid-conversation. John says that he should talk to Mary's dad. Mary disagrees and says that her Dad is just being a dad, and it's not John. John asks how it ain't him and asks if Mary's dad's always been like that. Mary defends saying that her dad is just protective and doesn't want her to-

John doesn't let Mary finish that thought and interjects asking if its cause her dad doesn't want her to hook up with a mechanic from a family of mechanics. Mary answers with a firm no and says that she loves John for exactly who he is.

Mary lays on her bed, flipping through a stack of record albums. Jeff knocks on the open door. He tells Mary that he's shoving off and just wanted to say goodbye. Mary asks if it really has to be this soon. Jeff says that yeah, he's got a job to do, then pauses before going on to say that for what its worth it doesn't matter what Mary's dad thinks, he likes that John guy.

Mary's a little surprised that Jeff thinks so and Jeff says that yeah, he thinks they are meant for each other and he's kind of depending on that. Jeff then asks what John is like. Mary says that John's sweet even after everything overseas, it didn't make him bitter, he still believes in that happy-ever-after stuff. Mary pauses then confesses that she thinks John's gonna propose soon, maybe even tomorrow. She says that she doesn't even care that her dad's gonna freak out, she'll run away if she has to 'cause she loves John.

Jeff asks he can tell Mary something. Mary says sure and Jeff says that even if its sounds really weird, Mary has to promise to remember. Jeff tells Mary that on November 2, 1983 not to get out of bed. No matter what, just don't. Mary takes that in and smiles gently. She tells Jeff that he is a strange one, but there's still something she can't put her finger on.

Mary and John are inside the car. John is anxious and Mary knows exactly why. John says he guesses its no secret why he brought Mary out here, and pulls out a ring box. Mary's eyes widen, its totally the moment she's dreamed off, but theres a bit of hesitation. John picks up on it, but tells Mary to just let him get through this.

Mary tells him to wait, and asks what if something happens to John. John takes that in, but opens the box anyways exposing the engagement ring to Mary. John says that nothing is going to happen to him and he'll always love Mary.

Mary is moved, but suddenly there's a banging on Mary's window and the door swings open. Samuel demands to know why he was disobeyed, and Mary is clearly upset with her father. Samuel doesn't seem to care what his daughter thinks and pulls her from the car saying its time to go.

so, Rick is Dean and Jeff, Sam? This must be the time travel epi?
