Jess + Moss
Jess!
Jess.
Jess. Come on. This isn't funny.
Jess!
Moss, why do you always
listen to those silly tapes?
Cause I wanna try to remember stuff.
But I told you all the time.
You know it by heart.
Tell it to me again.
My mom and dad, and your mom and dad,
were best friends.
And they did everything together.
Hurry up.
After you.
Hey.
I'll race you upstairs.
Wait there!
I have to do something you can't see.
Moss.
Go on.
Hey Jess, what are you gonna
do for the End of Summer Bash?
I don't care.
Remember last year when we
went out on Uncle Randy's boat?
We should do that again.
Uncle Randy hasn't taken us out all summer,
so I don't think that's gonna happen.
Hey, grandma and granddad are taking me to
buy school supplies, Sunday, after church.
You wanna come?
- No
- Why not?
Cause I don't need anything.
I'm sure they'll buy you something.
I mean, you've gotta be running low
on pencils, or paper or something.
Gimme that.
Moss is being retarded.
He doesn't understand that I
don't need school supplies.
Well you need art stuff.
You have like no paper
left in that art book.
God. If you need it enough I'm
sure they'll buy you something.
I don't need anything.
Hey Jess, what kind of
job are you gonna have?
I don't know.
I think you should like design T-shirts
and stuff, how good you are at drawing.
I mean look at that. That's like perfect.
Yeah, maybe.
You should get a boat.
Then on days like today
we could go out on it.
Cause it's so hot.
We could like go out into the
middle of the lake and like jump in.
Be so fun.
We can go fishing and all that stuff.
Since your mind thinks in pictures already,
you really do have a photographic memory.
Whatever you see with your
eyes gets photographed
and locks into the mind.
If you vividly see a picture,
the body does not know
the difference between
that it is vividly imagined
and that it is real.
Okay. So back relaxed and
what I'm going to do is
I'm gonna call out words to you.
One at a time.
I want you to just, maybe close your eyes,
or keep them open, it doesn't matter.
The most important part, folks, is
vividly see, in your mind, every
single picture as I call it out.
Okay. And we're going to begin.
The first one will be cigarettes.
- Better not have gotten spit all over it.
- Don't worry. Gosh.
How did uh- How did your
granddaddy lose his finger again?
He was working in the field with Uncle Bill
and Uncle Bill was driving the tractor.
And he was towing a chain behind it.
I can't exactly remember what it was for.
And then he was pulling it and
granddaddy was straightening it out
but there was a loop in the chain.
just pinched it plum off.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And then they took it to the doctor.
And then granddaddy always
says the doctor messed it up
cause it could't bend
as good as it used to.
What do you want to do when you grow up?
Probably a farmer. I mean-
I've lived around him my whole life.
I'll know how to drive a tractor.
Granddaddy's teach me to strip tobacco.
Prepare it and everything.
You don't have to do that.
You can do whatever you
want to do, you know?
It's your life.
Not at me Moss.
Woo!
Ow, my butt!
Gotcha!
Hey, stop!
Hey!
Whoa.
- I like that
- I like that one. That one was cool.
It's so cool.
You know how much all this probably costs?
- Whoa!
- Dude!
Oh my God. Look at that. That is so cool.
I love fireworks, they're just like magic.
My mom and dad, and your mom
and dad, were best friends.
And they did everything together.
Every weekend your parents would
come down to see my parents
and they play cards and stuff.
They play Pitch.
And your parents were always partners.
much, they were inseparable.
And the day they found out
your mom was pregnant,
They were so excited.
They went around telling everybody.
Hey, Jess.
What's the biggest
soda in the world?
I really don't care Moss.
Come on. Just guess.
It's the best joke I've ever heard.
Still don't care.
Come on, you're no fun.
What's the biggest soda in the world?
Okay fine, here.
- Ready?
- Mhm.
- I had it!
- I had it.
What the freak.
- Ready?
- Mhm.
Mine.
- That's embarrassing.
- You have Cheetos mouth.
- Alright, ready?
- Yep.
- Oh. Did you catch it?
- Mhm.
No you didn't.
You're a liar.
Hey Moss, look.
- Look at my mosquito bites bleeding.
- Look at mine.
Whoa.
That's a lot.
I know.
Things are gay. I hate em'.
Yeah.
There's another one.
Why do they like me so much, man?
'Cause you're sweet.
My God, Jess.
It's really hot out here.
Hey you think we can go
swimming in Haley's pool?
No.
She's not allowed to hang
out with us anymore.
Why?
You know why.
just this past year.
He's like a few counties over.
And he was playing in this grain bin.
I think it was like half full or something.
I don't really know all the details but,
he was playing in it and
somehow he drowned.
I don't know if they like dumped
tons of grain on top of him
and he like- They just couldn't
hear him or something.
But he-
He died.
Hey, did you know Apollo 1 never
actually made it into space?
Really?
Yeah.
Three of the crew members
died on it though.
That's crazy.
What do you think is wrong with it Jess?
I think it's sick.
I don't. I just think it's tired.
Well look at it. It can barely get up.
He can get up if he wants to.
Maybe he don't wanna get up.
Maybe you're scaring him
too much with your face.
Jesus, Moss.
Jesus loves the little children.
All the little children of the world.
Red, yellow, black and white,
They're all precious in his sight.
Jesus loves the little
children of the world.
We are gathered here on this
glorious day to talk about
Our Father, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Bow with me as we pray.
Our Father who art in heaven,
- Uh...
- Hallowed be thy name.
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
- Give us this day-
- Give us this day our daily bread,
- and forgive us our trespasses,
- And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass on us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
- Uh...
- For thine is the kingdom,
- What?
- The power, and the glory,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
- Amen.
- Ahmen.
- Ahmen. No Amen!
- Ahmen.
Out scripture readings today will
be from the books Amos and Obadiah.
So, I'm sitting here.
I just finished cleaning out the bird cage.
Stuff like that.
So what can I talk about.
Anyway, I haven't paid that much
attention to my little birdie today.
Oh, I did this afternoon.
Paid a little bit of
attention to her, anyway.
Got her out.
Let her flap her wings, and things.
There is so much out here, Jess.
- Hey Jess.
- What?
Would you rather live to be like 120,
