COUSIN CHAZZ IN LOVE: 2. The Hillbilly Speedball

Previously on Chazz In Love: 

(A boy sheep-herd got a doomsday message on his smart phone; rough and tumble Hillbilly crank-cookers prepped shotguns and trucks; while it hasn't been totally explained, it seems to have something to do with the lovely and dangerous Momia Juanita, and her showing baby bump.  But, alas, she may have perished in a meth-lab explosion.  Now to SCENE TWO, and the Introduction of OUR HERO)

TO BLACK 

EXT. THE NOTHINGNESS OF A GODLESS PREEXISTENCE -- MORNING

BLACK on BLACK.  Darkest Darkness.  Ginnungagap is what: the vast, primordial void prior to the universe manifest.

Illogical steam presses through the fissures of the dark backdrop, and some minor line of demarcation is made by this breath between earth and space, a grey strand between black and blacker.

Then the contours of some massive animal rise out of the void.  A cow.  A cow the size of a universe.  A cow that is the universe.  A cow made out of space-ice.

And then another form.  The tail of a snake crests out from under the cow, and slithers up the side, and from over the neck of the cow the head of the snake appears -- a monstrous thing.

Both ends of the snake coil around the cow until they meet in the middle, and their the snake head bites the snake tail!

CUT TO:

THE OFFICE OF A DOCTOR

An old lady is parsing and organizing Necco Wafers by color on an old mahogany desk.  Red.  White.  Brown.  She is DOC MARGARET.

Across from her is a man.  A man-child, rather.  COUSIN CHAZZ is ordinary in the clothing provided him by the rehab center.

He watches her.  Green Necco.  Yellow Necco.

DOC MARGARET

A snake biting a cow.  I wouldn't make much of it.

COUSIN CHAZZ

A snake wrapped around a cow, biting itself.

Yellow Necco before green Necco; brown Necco before white Necco.

COUSIN CHAZZ

That's the beginning and the end of the world at the same time.

DOC MARGARET

Says who?

COUSIN CHAZZ

Says Snorri.

DOC MARGARET

Mythology.  Have you read the Jung I assigned?

COUSIN CHAZZ

I read Wikipedia.

DOC MARGARET

Chazz, you are being released today.  In the two months you have resided at the Kezar Falls Clinic of Sobrietal Evolution, we have yet to diagnose you with any addiction beyond Diet Pepsi.

COUSIN CHAZZ

Not true.  You ever heard of a hillbilly speedball?

DOC MARGARET

I haven't.

COUSIN CHAZZ

A thimble of crank and a can of Coors.

DOC MARGARET

Chazz: Pack your shit.
