While we have of all aired episodes, scripts provide invaluable insights into the writing of the episode including character notes, stage directions and more. The following are links to copies of scripts and casting sides for Supernatural. Most of the copies of scripts have been obtained when they have been auctioned for charity, and then shared with the SuperWiki. Casting sides are scenes that are provided to actors for their auditions. They are usually scenes taken from a draft script or scenes written specifically for the audition. For these reasons they may never have appeared in an episode, or may vary from an aired scene.
