Joss quotes from Talk to Me (2023)

Chris Alosio
A line from Joss

Apparently, it was the hand of someone who could connect with the dead, right, so everyone around him thought, let's just cut his hand off. White people shit man. I tell you.

Hayley

Who showed the police the video?

Daniel

Think it was James.

Hayley

Least it proves we didn’t touch him. Police said there’s not a lot they can do.

Daniel

Has it ever lasted this long?

Joss

No. But we’ve never been over 90 seconds before Mia, so… How is he?

Jade

Every time he comes to, he tries to kill himself.

Joss

They wanna keep him.

Jade

What?

Joss

The guy who gave Duckett the hand said that if you die while they’re in you, they have you forever. Have any of you guys… still been seeing stuff?

Hayley

What the **** you mean, “seeing stuff”?

Mia

I saw my mum at the hospital.

Jade

And another one attacked Daniel at my house.

Hayley

Did you see something?

Daniel

Uh… not exactly.

Joss

What’s that supposed to mean, Daniel?

Daniel

I woke up and Mia was, I don't know, sucking my feet.

Jade

What the ****?

Mia

Jade.

Jade

What do you mean, “woke up with Mia”? What do you mean, “sucking your feet”?

Mia

It wasn’t me. I couldn’t go home.

Joss

None of us have been seeing shit. We all did it. We were all there. Why would you see your mum? You didn’t even let her in.

Hayley

Wait, didn’t Duckett say they could imitate people?

Mia

Wait, who’s Duckett?

Joss

I got the hand off him. He, uh… I met him twice at some parties and… yeah, we did the hand shit, I asked if I could borrow it and he said I could keep it. He said he was seeing them without it.

Hayley

And then he went full skitz. Stabbed his brother, then killed himself.

Joss

Look, bruz, I know it’s a shit time for you, but we need your help.

Cole

Nah, man, I’m out.

Jade

Cole. I know how much it hurts to lose someone that close.

Cole

The people he let in messed up his head. If he’d stopped doing that **** thing, they would’ve left.

Jade

My little brother’s in hospital. He went way over.

Cole

You let a kid do it? His body should kick ’em out. They get weaker the longer they’re in.

Jade

It hasn’t.

Cole

Give it time.

Jade

They’re killing him.

Cole

Maybe it’s time you stop **** up people’s lives, Joss. What do you reckon?

Mia
[tearfully]

Um… Did we blow the candle out?

Joss

I don’t remember.

Mia

What if we opened the door but we didn’t shut it?

Joss

What are you saying?

Mia

We do it again with Riley but blow out the candle this time.

Jade

You want him to do it again? The thing that put him in hospital?

Mia

You wanna save him?

Jade

Don’t **** ask me that.

Mia

We have to do something, Jade!
