Jess + Moss Page #3

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.

- 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'.
