Jazzmin Flush (5)

   
   "Jazzmin Flush (5)"
  
Jazzmin Flush knocks on Thomas' trailer door under purple sunset of Californ--IA.  She's got a Dodger cap on, looking golden.  Hears feathery footsteps quicksilver around in locked retreat.  Says the name "THOMAS" 29 times until there's an answer from behind the cheap barrier.
  
JAZZMIN
You okay buddy?  Your sister asked me to pray for you.
  
THOMAS
Are you that weirdo poet named Jazzmin?

JAZZMIN
I'm the weirdo?
  
THOMAS
Look, I just wanna be left alone.

JAZZMIN
To torture yourself?

THOMAS
Worked out well for plenty of the Saints.

JAZZMIN
Come on guy--the world is blooming.

THOMAS
With toxins and poison people--vipers I tell ya, everywhere.
  
JAZZMIN
Snakes can be charmed.
  
THOMAS
By rich people.
  
JAZZMIN
You got me there.

THOMAS
Hey Jazzmin--you know what Jesus has been doing for the last two millennia?  He's been trying to figure out how to return and kick everybody's ass without hurting their feelings.

JAZZMIN
He's such a nice Lord.
