[al:Evelyn Evelyn] |
[00:02.59] |
Are you there, evelyn? |
[00:05.13] |
Yes, of course I am. |
[00:07.48] |
I'm always here. |
[00:08.37] |
What's the matter, evelyn? |
[00:09.94] |
I'm frightened. |
[00:11.25] |
It's that time of year again. |
[00:12.95] |
Isn't it, evelyn? |
[00:14.31] |
Yes, it is that time of year again, evelyn. |
[00:18.36] |
Tell me once more how it all happened, evelyn. |
[00:21.24] |
Hush now, we don't talk about that |
[00:23.62] |
Because it makes us sad, evelyn. |
[00:25.84] |
I won't be sad this time. |
[00:27.73] |
I promise, please? |
[00:29.52] |
Tell me again about the tragic events of september, evelyn. |
[00:36.34] |
The year is 1985 |
[00:39.03] |
St. Elmo's fire is at the top of the charts |
[00:42.10] |
The wreckage of the titanic has just been discovered at the bottom of the atlantic ocean |
[00:46.42] |
And on a small farm |
[00:48.23] |
On the kansas-colorado boarder |
[00:50.01] |
A young mother is about to give birth. |
[00:51.89] |
The local doctor has predicted twins |
[00:54.47] |
Which gladdens the hearts of the woman and her husband |
[00:57.30] |
Who could certainly use the extra help around the farm. |
[00:59.97] |
(But the birth does not go well.) |
[01:02.93] |
The terrified father drives his screaming |
[01:05.29] |
Hemorrhaging wife to the local clinic |
[01:07.65] |
A poorly funded facility housed in a converted airstream trailer. |
[01:10.83] |
The presiding physician is Dr. Charlie von coop |
[01:14.30] |
A local denture maker of dubious training |
[01:16.67] |
With eccentric religious beliefs. |
[01:19.66] |
The labor is long and painful |
[01:21.83] |
And louise neville |
[01:23.28] |
A mennonite girl |
[01:24.46] |
Who had given up a promising career as a legal assistant |
[01:27.28] |
To join her first and only love |
[01:29.29] |
On the run down farm |
[01:30.74] |
That was his only inheritance |
[01:32.79] |
(May her soul rest forever in peace) |
[01:35.46] |
Is pronounced dead by the doctor |
[01:38.44] |
At 11: 23 A.M. |
[01:40.30] |
On the eleventh day of september |
[01:42.43] |
Precisely 12 minutes after the birth of her twin daughters. |
[01:47.42] |
The girls are parapagus tripus dibrachius twins |
[01:52.46] |
Conjoined at the side and sharing between them three legs |
[01:55.55] |
Two arms, two hearts, three lungs and a single liver. |
[01:59.37] |
Without hesitating |
[02:01.02] |
Dr. Von coop places the infants on the operating table |
[02:04.26] |
Muttering biblical quotations of doubtful accuracy |
[02:08.49] |
The doctor leaves that trailer |
[02:10.67] |
And returns with a gas powered chainsaw. |
[02:13.34] |
The noise is deafening in the small space as he starts the engine |
[02:18.09] |
And prepares for the grisly operation. |
[02:22.75] |
At this very moment |
[02:23.93] |
Sheriff wilbur owens |
[02:25.30] |
Having noticed the neville's car parked outside the clinic |
[02:28.11] |
Steps inside to see if could be of assistance. |
[02:30.79] |
Seeing the crazed doctor hovering over the newborns |
[02:34.56] |
The teeth of the chainsaw about to connect with their innocent flesh |
[02:38.20] |
The valiant sheriff draws his pistol and fires |
[02:40.83] |
As the bullet pierces his heart |
[02:43.10] |
Dr. Von coop emits a cry |
[02:44.86] |
And stumbles backwards. |
[02:46.69] |
Samuel neville a timid nervous man |
[02:49.62] |
Who wanted nothing more than a quiet country life with many children |
[02:53.12] |
Is still in a state of shock over the death of his young wife |
[02:56.17] |
And the alarming physiology of his daughters |
[02:58.67] |
When he is struck in the neck |
[03:00.41] |
By the chainsaw blade |
[03:02.67] |
(Killing him instantly.) |
[03:05.92] |
Distraught the good sheriff takes the crying infants to his car. |
[03:12.36] |
He radios back to the station where |
[03:15.07] |
It is arranged for the twins to be admitted |
[03:17.43] |
To the bethany center for developmentally disabled youth in topeka. |
[03:20.89] |
Sheriff owens decides to deliver the twins to the bethany center personally. |
[03:25.95] |
Less than an hour into the drive |
[03:28.77] |
An oncoming truck swerves |
[03:30.83] |
Crosses median |
[03:32.53] |
And strikes the sheriff's car. |
[03:35.10] |
The sheriff is thrown into the windshield |
[03:37.21] |
Knocking him unconscious. |
[03:39.09] |
He will die thirty minutes later from loss of blood. |
[03:41.93] |
Meanwhile the world has become a sea of feathers |
[03:45.20] |
As the trucks cargo of live chickens |
[03:47.73] |
Many among them now seriously injured or dead |
[03:51.15] |
Spill into the road. |
[03:52.81] |
A small awkward man limps out of the trucks cab |
[03:56.39] |
And cautiously approaches the sheriff's vehicle. |
[03:59.26] |
The man's eyes focus on the twin girls |
[04:01.94] |
Calmly look up at him from the back seat. |
[04:05.36] |
Ignoring the dying sheriff |
[04:07.07] |
The truck driver lifts the infants into his arm |
[04:09.59] |
And sets them in the cab of the damaged vehicle. |
[04:12.53] |
He unhitches the trailer and climbs into the cab |
[04:15.46] |
Abandoning the defenseless chickens to their grim fate on interstate 70. |
[04:20.44] |
A smile forms on his lips as he puts the truck into gear |
[04:24.05] |
And continues down the highway. |
