Jess + Moss Page #2

Synopsis: Jess (18) and Moss (12) are second cousins who have spent their summers together since either of them can remember. Without immediate families that they can relate to, and lacking friends their own age, all they have is each other. Through a series of memories and vignettes, 'Jess + Moss' recounts the events of the last summer they shared together. Shot entirely on location with a variety of expired and often degraded film stocks, 'Jess + Moss' captures the evocative and haunting character of the dark fire tobacco fields of rural Western Kentucky.

Be on your own. Nobody has

to do anything for you.

Just like- die with no pain.

It depends. How long do people

have to wipe my butt for?

Till' you're 80-

Till you're 120.

Probably 75 then.

Me too.

Or maybe- Maybe 85.

Maybe people can wipe my

butt for a few years.

Bye Moss.

Alright.

- We gotta move this.

- Okay.

Help me pick it up.

Over here.

- You dropped it. Pick it up again.

- Sorry.

Come on.

Okay.

Here, put this at the kids table.

I know where it goes.

You don't know where It goes Moss.

Yea-huh, I remember.

Why am I showing you if you remember.

- Did I ask for you to show me?

- Yes. Yes you did.

Here, put this plate over there.

Put this at the kids table.

And put the knife on the left

side, the fork on the right.

I know...

Moss, quit saying you know

'cause you don't know.

Yes I do. I remember.

How do you remember when you

were only two years old?

Alright.

Moss. This is the adult table.

Only the adults sit here.

And it's full. Come on.

- I can fit here- Come on.

- Come sit on the kids table.

Moss, right here.

Okay.

- Now, the-

- Just let me sit at the adult table.

Moss.

There's no room at the

adult table. It's already full.

- Go sit at the kids table.

- No.

- Moss, just do it.

- I hate this stupid kids table.

Whatever Moss.

I'm not showing you how to do this again

'cause you don't know how to play right.

Our Father who art in heaven,

We thank thee for this day

and for its many blessings.

We thank thee for the food, for

the nourishment of our body.

We thank thee for this Christian home

and our opportunity to be together.

And Christ's name we pray.

Amen.

Yeah.

Hey what's up?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm good.

Yeah, about that sh*t at work today huh?

Why, what did I tell them?

No, that's a bunch of crap man. I

ain't doing that sh*t anymore.

No. They can get somebody else to do that.

So are we going out tonight or what?

Alright.

Yeah, yeah. I'll meet you there.

Yo, big tittie Angela gonna be there huh?

Yeah, you know I got your back.

Yeah, that's good.

Alright.

Don't be taking my fucken

cigarettes anymore.

You're old enough to get a

damn job, buy your own smokes.

I hear the cottonwoods whispering above

Tammy Tammy Tammy's in love

The ole whootie owl

whootie-hoo's to the dove

Tammy Tammy Tammy's in love

Whipporwill whipporwill you and I know

Tammy Tammy can't let him go

The breeze from the bayou

keeps murmuring low

Tammy Tammy you love him so

When the night is warm soft and

warm I long for his charms

I'd sing like a violin

if I were in his arms

Wish I knew if he knew

what I'm dreaming of

Tammy Tammy Tammy's in love

You look just like her.

No I don't.

I look like my mom.

I don't look like anyone of

my dad's side of the family.

Look at her blue eyes.

Look at your blue eyes.

It's all the same.

This picture was probably hand painted.

I bet she has brown eyes like yours.

No, how can you assume that?

One day I'm gonna get out of here.

Get the hell out of this place.

I don't want you to get the

heck out of this place.

Could travel around.

See the world.

- There's so much out there Moss.

- Jess, listen to me.

I don't want you to, okay?

Well, what should I talk about.

Oh, I guess I already told you that story.

Yeah, I don't wanna repeat myself here.

Umm...

I don't have nothing to do today,

I did it all yesterday.

I'm just rambling here.

Who is stuck in another

nothing little town.

Well I guess that's about it. So long.

I have so much to tell you, I

don't even know where to start.

You think I'm crazy don't you?

I know the difference

between right and wrong.

Hey, be careful not to shoot the jars okay?

I'm gonna move em'.

Sit down.

I'm not gonna shoot your stupid jars.

They're not stupid.

Okay, I got the guy on the far left.

Okay, I got the far right.

- Right in the eyeball.

- Smoked em'.

I got middle.

That's the one I was going for.

Too bad.

Jess, what are you aiming at?

The one on the far left.

No you're not. You know you're not.

Jess, stop it!

Jess!

I told you not to shoot my jars.

Jess, I told you not to shoot my jars.

Jess, stop it!

Jess, stop it.

Moss, don't point that gun at me.

Don't shoot my jars.

What'd I tell you about

pointing that gun at me?

What'd I tell you about

shooting my jars, huh?

Come on.

Lick my elbow.

Come on, Moss.

Lick my elbow.

All you gotta do

is lick the elbow.

Come on.

You know this is-

You lick my elbow.

Come on.

Come on!

- You asked for it you little sh*t.

- B*tch!

Retard!

And then,

one night,

they were driving down to see

my parents.

And it was storming really, really bad.

But you know what, Moss?

It was storming really, really bad.

It was very sad.

It was sad for everybody.

One night

they were driving down to see

my parents.

And it was storming really, really, bad.

And they got into a car wreck.

And they died.

So you're going to put your hand here.

And you're going to put

your hand on my shoulder.

And were gonna go left

right

back

and right

back

right

back

left

and left.

Aren't we supposed to dance closer?

Are you scared of girls?

No.

What's the furthest

you've gone with a girl?

I've kissed one before.

Who Haley?

No.

Haley's your girlfriend isn't she?

No. She's not.

She so is.

No.

She's kind of cute isn't she?

No.

Do you have her picture under your pillow?

No, I do not.

Yeah right.

Do you wanna go check my pillow?

Hey Jess, what's a dildo?

What's so funny?

Nothing.

It's not a gun. It's just some like-

little plastic crap.

- What is it?

- You're too young.

- No I'm not.

- You're way too young.

No I'm not!

Let it go Moss.

Okay, now seriously. What is it?

Here, whisper it in my ear.

It's- A dildo is a substitute for a penis.

What's so funny?

Jesus Christ, Moss.

Hey, what fireworks do we have left?

Not much.

Like, what do we have?

Like, a couple of Porta Rockets.

Mortars?

Nope.

I wish we could have a huge fireworks show.

That would be pretty awesome, wouldn't it.

Do you think we could buy some mortars?

My favourite thing.

Yeah, If I save up my allowance.

I think we could be able to buy some.

Fireworks are probably the coolest

thing in the whole world.

Can't stop shivering.

It's cause your sh*t's all wet.

Promise not to look?

I promise.

We should get closer

together for body warmth.

Okay.

You looked, you little pervert.

No, I didn't. I swear.

It's okay.

This would be a perfect place

to play 7 minutes in heaven.

What's 7 minutes in heaven?

It's when a boy and a girl

like go in a closet, or like

an enclosed room for 7 minutes.

And they like make out or kiss and

just do whatever else they want to do.

Have you ever played before?

Yeah, lots of times.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Yes.

My lips are soft.

You can touch them if you want.

You think I'm crazy don't you.

I know the difference

between right and wrong.
