Our scene takes place in a rural American homestead where, as a prelude to shooting herself, Jessie lists for her mother the humdrum minutiae of her existence — whilst preparing pill bottles, filling labelled sweet jars, detailing who to call when the dishwasher breaks down and most importantly, what procedure to follow after she hears the gun shot later that evening.
