Easy to get the demon to talk? I thought Sam was pretty patient to deal with him not saying a word for over a month, and to put off his own breakdown all that time too. Then again, in a way, you're right. What's between them is clearly as strong as ever, and that gave Sam a great deal of power - and the demon a reason, subconscious or otherwise, a great deal of desire to give in. This was my little slice of hope for Valentine's Day - hope yours was a good one!
