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.

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,

but people would like, have to care for you

and like wipe your butt and stuff.

Or would you rather live till'

you're like 70 and like-

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.
