Boom introduces Jayjay to the moss hanging off of Bug's wet body.

JAYJAY: Well whadda ya know, Bug caught some Spanish moss. That stuff's sturdy as rope! Gee, Boom. You don't think we could use this to help Miss Walnut down, do ya?

Jayjay begins to tie the ends of the fibrous moss together.

JAYJAY: When I ain't pickin' cotton I just run myself ragged comin' up with all kindsa new knots for the Plantation Knot Society. Say, Boom, would you like to become the second member?

Jayjay tops off the knot tied around Bug's ankles with a pretty little bow.

JAYJAY: Ta-da~ BUG: Little nigga what!
