[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.
