C.O.G.

Synopsis: Leaving the ivy-covered walls of Yale behind, the privileged and intellectual Samuel sets out to discover the real world armed with books and a strong conviction of atheism. He goes to work at an apple orchard under an alias, but is thrust into a world he is wholly unprepared for with religious locals and untrustworthy co-workers. His sexuality and lack of faith will be tested as he learns to rely on strangers in a world that can't be taught in books and a classroom.

WOMAN:
(FAINTLY) I said,

"You're goddamn right, I'm having this baby.

"I'm having this stinking piece of sh*t,

whether you want to be the daddy or not."

I said, "I'm done f***ing around

with an old white-faced n*gger

"too busy chasing bush p*ssy

to get off his fat ass

"and get himself a job.

"You crawled out of your mammy's

old, tattered p*ssy

"and grabbed hold

of those milk-stained titties

"and ain't looked back once.

"So if you don't want this baby,

I'll find another son of a b*tch

"who won't look at the world

through the slit of his sh*t-blistered,

"faggoty-assed, worm-sized dick."

(SHOUTS) Are you listenin' to me?

-Yeah.

-Good!

'Cause I don't want to be wasting

my words on nothing here.

So I said,

"You can suck the cream out of

my old granddaddy's cum-stained cock

"before I ever let you see the face

of this wrinkly-assed baby.

"And if it looks anything like you,

"I'll have that doctor saw off

his f***ing head and use it as bait."

(SOBS) Can you believe,

that after all that sh*t

the bastard put me through,

he had the nerve to ask me

what I was planning on naming that baby.

Can you believe that?

Motherf***er, you try kicking me,

I'll come in there with a coat hanger

and give you something to kick about!

(WOMAN MOANING)

These last five hours...

I never thought I'd meet

someone like you here.

Me, too.

(WOMAN MOANS)

WOMAN:
Mmm-mmm.

Come on. It's almost my stop.

WOMAN:
Okay.

(WOMAN MOANING)

MAN:
Hey.

-Hey!

-Yeah?

You think you're gonna

learn something from that book?

Trying to.

I'll tell you something.

You really want to learn the truth,

there's only one place to do it.

The Chatham Correctional Institute.

It's the best f***ing school

in this entire country.

-It taught me everything I know.

-I bet it did.

Hell, you could fill a racetrack

with every piece of sh*t ever written,

but you would still learn more

right here in this seat, talking to me.

I'm talking about the Lord.

Have you opened your heart up to Jesus?

(SIGHS)

Look, I'm going to spare you the effort.

I think that religion is meant for people

who aren't smart enough

to understand how the world really works.

And are so scared

of being small and insignificant

that they need someone to tell them

how special and important they really are.

Also, never having personally seen

a racetrack full of books,

-I'll take my chances.

-Oh, book...

You can go take your imaginary ghost

somewhere else.

-The Bible says...

-I know what the Bible says.

Well, then what's your problem with it?

It's poorly written.

Hey.

Hey.

So what do you do?

I'm a student.

(CHUCKLES)

You look a little old to be in school.

What grade are you in?

You wouldn't understand.

Speed, 50.

(MAN COUGHING)

(HACKING COUGH)

Cat in that car.

(EXHALES)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(SNIFFS)

(SIGHS)

MAN:
It's your stop.

(CLINKING)

(BEEPING)

(LINE RINGING)

WOMAN:
(ON ANSWERING MACHINE)

Hi. We're not home right now,

so leave a message after the beep,

and we'll call you back.

(BEEPS)

Hey. It's me.

I'm only letting you know

I got here as a courtesy.

Mom, please don't try to reach me.

And don't try to say you're sorry.

I'm going off the radar for a while,

and (CHUCKLES) it's going to be amazing.

Maybe you'll hear from me at some point,

but you probably won't.

(HANGS UP)

(CLOCK TICKING)

Is this Mrs. Hobbs?

-She's dead.

-Oh.

-Sorry.

-She had cancer.

Now Ringo, there,

has got the same damn thing.

He's got tumors up his ass

the size of Bartlett pears.

(CLEARS THROAT) Let's see. David, right?

Uh, Samuel, actually.

Oh.

It says you're working together

with some girl.

Yeah. Jennifer. She'll be here next week.

Okay. So what are you doing here?

Well, like I said over the phone,

I want a change of pace for a little bit.

Get my hands dirty.

HOBBS:
I've got four weeks to rip

all these a**holes off the branches

before they shrivel.

I'll come by at the end of the day

and check your bins.

For each bin, I'll pay you $40.

For every f***ed apple in the bin,

I'll dock you a dollar.

DAVID:
One bad apple

spoils the whole bunch.

You're telling me?

The kids who live around here,

they think they're too goddamn good to work.

The only thing left is trash or Mexicans,

and I'll take the stupid Mexicans any day.

You speak a little Spanish?

No, I don't.

They didn't teach you that at your college?

No, I studied Japanese.

Huh. What the f*** for?

Yeah, we'll find you a bed in here,

and the amigos make food in the morning

and at night on the pit outside.

I'm sure they'll let you in

on some of it, if you're nice.

-Pedro!

-S, Sr. Hobbs.

Pedro, this is Samuel. He's from New York.

DAVID:
Connecticut.

He's come out here to see

what it's like on the other side.

I want you to show him the ropes.

DAVID:
Hi.

Soy Samuel.

Pedro de dnde eres.

Oh, I don't speak Spanish.

-(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

-No Espaol.

-(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

-Okay.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

(RAIN PATTERING)

(GRUNTS)

I thought this would be easier.

I figured you just picked them up

off the ground when they fell.

Oh, f***!

-Hey!

-DAVID:
Sorry.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

(EXHALES)

Good job, guys.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Thank you.

-Salsa?

-No, thank you.

(SCOFFS)

(MURMURING)

So I said to her, I said,

"How come you're not coming with me?"

She wanted to take a ride from some guy
