Sam: You've been following me since Lincoln.
Ruby: Not much gets by you, huh? These are amazing. It's like deep-fried crack. Try some.
Sam: That knife you had. You can kill demons with that thing?
Ruby: Sure comes in handy when I have to swoop in and save the damsel in distress.
Sam: Where did you get it?
Ruby: Skymail.
Sam: Why are you following me?
Ruby: I'm interested in you.
Sam: Why?
Ruby: Because you're tall. I love a tall man. And then there's the whole Anti-Christ thing.
Sam: Excuse me?
Ruby: Generation of psychic kids, Yellow-Eyed Demon rounds you up, celebrity death match ensues. You're the sole survivor.
Sam: How do you know about that?
Ruby: I'm a good hunter. So, Yellow-Eyes had some pretty big plans for you, Sam.
Sam: "Had" being the keyword.
Ruby: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. Ding-dong, the demon's dead. Good job with that. It doesn't change the fact that you're special- in that Anthony Michael Hall ESP, visions kind of way.
Sam: No. That's stuff's not happening anymore. Not since Yellow-Eyes died.
Ruby: Well, I'm thinking you're still a pretty big deal. I mean, after all that business with your mom.
Sam: What about my mom?
Ruby: You know, what happened to her friends. You-- don't know. You've got a little bit of catching up to do, my friend. So, why don't you look into your mom's pals, and then give me a call and we'll talk again? And, by the way, you do know there's a job in this town, right?
Sam: They're dead. All of them. All my mom's friends. Her doctor, her uncle...everyone who ever knew her systematically wiped off the map one at a time. Someone went through a hell of a lot of trouble trying to cover their tracks.
Ruby: Yep. The Yellow-Eyed Demon.
Sam: So- What's your deal? You show up wherever I am. You know all about me. You know all about my mother.
Ruby: I already told you, I'm just a-
Sam: Oh, right. Right! Just a hunter. Just some hunter who happens to know more about my family than I do.
Sam: Just tell me who you are.
Ruby: Sam--
Sam: Just- just tell me who you are.
Ruby: It doesn't mat-
Sam: Just tell me who you are!
Ruby: Fine. Think twice before going for that holy water.
Sam: Just give me one reason why I should.
Ruby: I'm here to help you, Sam.
Sam: Is that some kind of joke?
Ruby: God's honest truth- or whatever.
Sam: You're a demon.
Ruby: Don't be such a racist. I'm here because I want to help you. And I can. If you trust me.
Sam: Trust you?
Ruby: Sam- calm down.
Sam: Start talking. All those murders. What was the demon trying to cover up?
Ruby: I don't know.
Sam: What happened to my mother?
Ruby: I don't know. That's what I'm trying to find out. All I know is that it's about you.
Sam: What?
Ruby: Don't you get it, Sam? It's all about you. What happened to your mother, what happened to her friends. They're trying to cover up what he did to you. I want to help you figure it out.
Sam Why would you want to help me?
Ruby: I have my reasons. Not all demons are the same, Sam. Not all of us want the same thing. Me? I wanna help you from time to time, that's all. And if you let me, there's something in it for you.
Sam: What could you possibly-
Ruby: I can help you save your bother.
