[00:01.63] | Are you crying, Evelyn? |
[00:03.15] | No... no... Yes. I was just thinking about Sandy. |
[00:08.01] | And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them, Evelyn. |
[00:11.84] | I know, I miss them too. |
[00:14.74] | Especially this time of year, Evelyn. |
[00:20.56] | The year is 1991, |
[00:22.76] | Terminator 2 is the highest-grossing film at the Box Office, |
[00:26.93] | the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released |
[00:30.85] | and after 70 years of Communist rule |
[00:33.61] | the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed. |
[00:36.60] | And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia |
[00:40.30] | twin sisters are waiting for their supper. |
[00:43.03] | The farm is old and operated by Alfred McClock, |
[00:46.53] | an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponery. |
[00:50.28] | McClock's chicken farms produces over 140000 chickens a year |
[00:54.81] | and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States. |
[00:59.33] | Despite the modest success of his business, |
[01:01.75] | McClock leads a solitary life, |
[01:03.83] | never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself. |
[01:08.20] | A simple man with a not entirely bad heart. |
[01:11.31] | McClock never knew how to best take care of the young girls |
[01:14.67] | who came into his life shortly after their birth, |
[01:17.11] | so he raised them the only way he knew how - |
[01:20.30] | in a 2 foot by 2 foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash, |
[01:24.79] | crumbles, pellets and egg booster. |
[01:28.79] | One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm |
[01:32.88] | McClock does not come at meal time. |
[01:35.46] | Night falls and still he doesn't appear. |
[01:38.77] | The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger. |
[01:43.27] | Days pass and the chickens in neighbouring cage begin to die. |
[01:47.22] | The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn. |
[01:52.37] | Finally, desperate to find food |
[01:55.27] | and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian, |
[01:57.90] | the twins break free from their cage. |
[02:00.80] | McClock's house is locked tight, |
[02:03.24] | but the girls find the garden hose which quenches their thirst. |
[02:06.34] | Still half delirious with hunger, |
[02:08.67] | they make their way out to the road. |
[02:11.02] | Little time passes before a dusty black |
[02:13.64] | cadillac Coupe de Ville drives by and pulls over. |
[02:17.33] | A tall, moustached young man with a kindly face steps out of the vehicle. |
[02:22.12] | He smiles at the girls, "Hello" |
[02:23.97] | And presents them with the first candy they had ever tasted - |
[02:26.71] | a Twix bar, which they share in silent, odd delight. |
[02:32.77] | The girls do not feel at all uncomfortable |
[02:35.23] | when the man lifts them gently into the dark, spacious trunk. |
[02:42.50] | In the following days the girls are transferred into the trunks |
[02:44.38] | or several other cars by many other kindly, candybar offering men |
[02:50.61] | until they reach their final destination at the lake side lodge in Manitoba. |
[02:55.48] | The underwood lodge is a collection of cosy, water front cabins |
[02:59.70] | with an attached trailor park along the shores of lake Winnipeg. |
[03:03.24] | It is also the world headquarters of Budding Flowers Entertainment |
[03:07.92] | specializing in the production and distribution of photographs |
[03:11.44] | and VHS tapes for clientele with unique tastes. |
[03:15.14] | The girls are welcomed by Mrs Deborah Bouldger, |
[03:18.33] | the 52-year-old proprietress |
[03:20.22] | "Well, hello, girls" |
[03:22.24] | A women of enormous proportions |
[03:24.59] | who lives with her own 3 children in the main lodge of the underwood. |
[03:28.45] | Upon finding that the girls have no names |
[03:30.82] | she christens them Eva and Lynn, names, which neither she, |
[03:34.75] | nor the twins themselves are ever able to keep straight"Eva, Lynn" |
[03:39.90] | The twins days of the underwood are relatively comfortable, |
[03:43.00] | they are well cared for, the food is delicious |
[03:45.70] | and there are many other girls their age |
[03:48.06] | Once a week, photo sessions take place, |
[03:50.34] | convivial affairs that involve make-up, |
[03:53.14] | a wide variety of dress up costumes and inventive new games. |
[03:57.79] | Every few days Mrs Bouldger introduces the girls to one of their many uncles |
[04:02.77] | "Eva, Lyn, say hello to your uncle Mark" "Heeey" |
[04:07.50] | These uncles, seemingly endless in number, |
[04:10.00] | travel from all over the world to visit their nieces |
[04:13.72] | The girls don't always like their new uncles, |
[04:15.95] | but Mrs Bouldger is always quick to remind them |
[04:18.78] | that ‘family is family’ and ‘blood is thicker than water’ |
[04:23.29] | The conjoined sisters are not popular amongst the other girls, |
[04:27.14] | however, one gentle resident, a few years their senior |
[04:30.96] | befriends them and takes them under her wing. |
[04:32.50] | "Hello, what's your name?" |
[04:33.88] | (Her name is Sandy) |
[04:35.17] | "I'm Sandy" |
[04:36.09] | She has soft, blond hair that reaches down to her knees |
[04:39.93] | Everyone says she looks like a mermaid |
[04:42.57] | Dressed daily by Mrs Bouldger |
[04:44.06] | in trade mark fishnet stockings and vintage attire, |
[04:47.45] | Sandy is by far the most popular girl of the underwood. |
[04:50.61] | She has so many uncles that the twins lose count |
[04:53.87] | Every night after dinner and chores, |
[04:56.03] | Sandy talks the young sisters into bed |
[04:58.54] | and tells them fantastic stories until they fall peacefully to sleep |
[05:02.84] | "And after the three long weeks at sea |
[05:05.03] | Jean Luke, the sailor finally spotted land" |
[05:08.98] | But these happy times do not last. |
[05:12.18] | Shortly after the twins' third Christmas |
[05:14.67] | under Mrs Bouldger's care, |
[05:16.16] | Sandy disappears - never to return |
[05:20.64] | The twins remain in the underwood |
[05:23.58] | for the greater part of two, long, miserable years. |
[05:26.17] | Without Sandy to protect them, |
[05:27.99] | they are ostracized and abused by the other girls |
[05:31.03] | "What are YOU looking at, 4-eyes?!" |
[05:33.29] | The photo sessions involve fewer fancy costumes |
[05:35.89] | and over time, their uncles become more peculiar |
[05:39.47] | "Did I ask you to talk?" |
[05:40.96] | The twins begin to notice the disturbing tendency |
[05:43.63] | for girls, much like their dear friend Sandy - |
[05:46.56] | they quietly disappear from the underwood around their 12th or 13th birthday. |
[05:50.99] | The sisters brace themselves for something terrible |
[05:54.13] | One autumn, when the girls are eleven, |
[05:57.74] | an old man, who speaks only Spanish, |
[05:59.88] | takes the twins into a large, orange van |
[06:02.35] | and drives them to their new home |
[06:04.01] | "Step right up, step right up, see amazing human oddities, |
[06:07.44] | freaks of nature, be warned, people with heart condition, |
[06:10.86] | children, women - we will accept no responsibility for fainting, |
[06:14.66] | reoccurring nightmares, or death" |
[06:16.58] | Dillard and Fullerton, elusive and illogical traveling |
[06:19.76] | show is the 12th largest touring circus in North America. |
[06:23.31] | Former insurance salesman, |
[06:25.38] | Dillard and Fullerton, distinguish their enterprise |
[06:27.96] | by procuring the most procuring specimen of the grotesque and unusual. |
[06:32.21] | Their small administrative staff works tirelessly |
[06:35.17] | to combat legal actions and public allegations |
[06:37.76] | of animal cruelty and human slave trafficing. |
[06:40.90] | Life in the circus is harder than their time at the underwood. |
[06:43.92] | There is always work to be done. |
[06:45.72] | In addition to their chores of laundry and sweeping, |
[06:48.27] | Mr Dillard insist that the twins |
[06:50.95] | spend many hours each day practicing their act. |
[06:53.27] | "What are you staring at for?" |
[06:54.58] | The girls are frightened of the clowns, |
[06:56.32] | several of whom, by amazing coincidence, |
[06:59.02] | also happen to be their uncles |
[07:00.97] | "Hello, hello, hello" |
[07:02.67] | But still, overall these early days |
[07:05.48] | at the circus are happy time for the twins |
[07:08.35] | Every night to the delight of audiences across the country, |
[07:11.72] | the girls appear in the center ring, singing and strumming the ukulele, |
[07:15.54] | at the top of Bimba and Kimba - |
[07:17.73] | the world's only known conjoined twin siamese elephants. |
[07:22.36] | The twins feel they have found true soulmates in Bimba and Kimba, |
[07:26.51] | who they affectionately refer to as‘Elephant,Elephant’. |
[07:29.48] | This special bond is reciprocates by the pakaderms, |
[07:32.47] | who fondly nozzle the girls with their trunks |
[07:34.85] | and seem to delight in giving them rides. |
[07:38.03] | (The twins and the elephants are inseparable) |
[07:41.30] | With the help of the Alphonso de Ares tin, the animal trainer, |
[07:45.53] | the twins tend to the elephants, feeding them and grooming them daily. |
[07:50.13] | But one terrible August morning, |
[07:52.03] | Bimba and Kimba refuse to take their food. |
[07:54.55] | Due to the unsanitary conditions of their quarters |
[07:57.67] | and an improper diet of popcorn and cotton candy, |
[08:00.59] | the elephants have contracted a rare form of elephantine diphtheria |
[08:04.22] | compounded by early onset Alzheimer's disease |
[08:07.31] | For the next two weeks can only stand by helplessly, |
[08:11.42] | as their companions become sicker and weaker |
[08:13.91] | and begin displaying obvious signs of memory loss. |
[08:17.17] | The last few days are almost unbearable. |
[08:19.61] | With Bimba and Kimba's confused, sad eyes |
[08:22.65] | looking up at the girls with great anguish, |
[08:25.31] | but no hint of recognition. |
[08:26.85] | And on one, grim,September day |
[08:29.82] | The sisters 16th birthday |
[08:32.35] | (Elephant Elephant dies.) |
[08:35.59] | The funeral is held at the same day |
[08:37.99] | a grizzly affair had an industrial trush compactor |
[08:41.06] | behind a Home Depot in Fort Dodge,Iowa. |
[08:46.12] | The twins are devastated. |
[08:48.48] | Without Bimba and Kimba life is but a terrible and meaningless void. |
[08:53.03] | They resign themselves to living out |
[08:55.18] | the rest of their hollow existence in solemn mourning. |
[08:58.50] | The emotionally exausted sisters fall from favour within the circus |
[09:02.49] | No longer willing to sing and play their ukulele, |
[09:05.89] | the girls are dressed in a pink tutu |
[09:08.84] | and forced to balance on the giant red ball, |
[09:11.43] | an impossible task for the conjoined sisters |
[09:14.66] | "Get on that damn ball!" |
[09:16.44] | The audience roars with laughter each time they awkwardly fall. |
[09:21.02] | Their discomfort is increased by a pair of radical groups |
[09:25.60] | who have taken an interest ih the twins. |
[09:27.62] | Every night in most major cities, |
[09:30.00] | protestiers assemble, nosily waving signs |
[09:32.25] | and chanting slogans in front of the Box Office. |
[09:35.30] | The first faction claims to represent an organization called 'FASSEN' - |
[09:39.80] | the Foundation for Always Separating Siamese Twins Everywhere Now. |
[09:46.36] | Citing the bible,FASSEN members believe |
[09:49.52] | that it is the will of the Lord that all conjoined twins be separated |
[09:53.34] | and allowed to live individual lives. |
[09:55.92] | Wielding symbolical surgical saws and blunt carbon knives, |
[09:59.28] | FASSEN members tried the ticket buyers for supporting the abomination of god. |
[10:04.55] | The second group operates under the acronym SPLIT - |
[10:08.46] | the Society for the Preservation of Linked Identical Twins. |
[10:13.24] | A reactionary organisation, working to discredit the claims of FASSEN, |
[10:18.02] | SPLIT believes that conjoined twins will play a |
[10:20.81] | critical role in the second coming of Christ. |
[10:23.52] | The twins are terrified by both groups - |
[10:26.73] | the knives and saws make them very nervous |
[10:29.68] | and SPLIT members make threats to kidnap the girls |
[10:33.33] | and take them to where they will be kept safe |
[10:35.41] | in a place of darkness until the rapture. |
[10:38.66] | One day before a Sunday matinée in Sacramento, |
[10:42.22] | a chaotic brawl erupts between the two factions |
[10:46.08] | and one FASSEN member gets allarmingly close to the twins with a hacksaw. |
[10:52.49] | Stricken with fear, the sisters decide |
[10:54.88] | that they are no longer safe at the circus. |
[10:57.23] | That night, they make a resolution - |
[11:00.00] | to leave the Dillard and Fullerton travelling show - |
[11:04.99] | (FOREVER) |

[00:01.63] | Are you crying, Evelyn? |
[00:03.15] | No... no... Yes. I was just thinking about Sandy. |
[00:08.01] | And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them, Evelyn. |
[00:11.84] | I know, I miss them too. |
[00:14.74] | Especially this time of year, Evelyn. |
[00:20.56] | The year is 1991, |
[00:22.76] | Terminator 2 is the highestgrossing film at the Box Office, |
[00:26.93] | the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released |
[00:30.85] | and after 70 years of Communist rule |
[00:33.61] | the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed. |
[00:36.60] | And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia |
[00:40.30] | twin sisters are waiting for their supper. |
[00:43.03] | The farm is old and operated by Alfred McClock, |
[00:46.53] | an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponery. |
[00:50.28] | McClock' s chicken farms produces over 140000 chickens a year |
[00:54.81] | and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States. |
[00:59.33] | Despite the modest success of his business, |
[01:01.75] | McClock leads a solitary life, |
[01:03.83] | never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself. |
[01:08.20] | A simple man with a not entirely bad heart. |
[01:11.31] | McClock never knew how to best take care of the young girls |
[01:14.67] | who came into his life shortly after their birth, |
[01:17.11] | so he raised them the only way he knew how |
[01:20.30] | in a 2 foot by 2 foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash, |
[01:24.79] | crumbles, pellets and egg booster. |
[01:28.79] | One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm |
[01:32.88] | McClock does not come at meal time. |
[01:35.46] | Night falls and still he doesn' t appear. |
[01:38.77] | The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger. |
[01:43.27] | Days pass and the chickens in neighbouring cage begin to die. |
[01:47.22] | The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn. |
[01:52.37] | Finally, desperate to find food |
[01:55.27] | and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian, |
[01:57.90] | the twins break free from their cage. |
[02:00.80] | McClock' s house is locked tight, |
[02:03.24] | but the girls find the garden hose which quenches their thirst. |
[02:06.34] | Still half delirious with hunger, |
[02:08.67] | they make their way out to the road. |
[02:11.02] | Little time passes before a dusty black |
[02:13.64] | cadillac Coupe de Ville drives by and pulls over. |

[02:22.12] | He smiles at the girls, " Hello" |
[02:23.97] | And presents them with the first candy they had ever tasted |
[02:26.71] | a Twix bar, which they share in silent, odd delight. |
[02:32.77] | The girls do not feel at all uncomfortable |
[02:35.23] | when the man lifts them gently into the dark, spacious trunk. |
[02:42.50] | In the following days the girls are transferred into the trunks |
[02:44.38] | or several other cars by many other kindly, candybar offering men |
[02:50.61] | until they reach their final destination at the lake side lodge in Manitoba. |
[02:55.48] | The underwood lodge is a collection of cosy, water front cabins |
[02:59.70] | with an attached trailor park along the shores of lake Winnipeg. |
[03:03.24] | It is also the world headquarters of Budding Flowers Entertainment |
[03:07.92] | specializing in the production and distribution of photographs |
[03:11.44] | and VHS tapes for clientele with unique tastes. |
[03:15.14] | The girls are welcomed by Mrs Deborah Bouldger, |
[03:18.33] | the 52yearold proprietress |
[03:20.22] | " Well, hello, girls" |
[03:22.24] | A women of enormous proportions |
[03:24.59] | who lives with her own 3 children in the main lodge of the underwood. |
[03:28.45] | Upon finding that the girls have no names |

[04:02.77] | " Eva, Lyn, say hello to your uncle Mark" " Heeey" |
[04:07.50] | These uncles, seemingly endless in number, |
[04:10.00] | travel from all over the world to visit their nieces |
[04:13.72] | The girls don' t always like their new uncles, |
[04:15.95] | but Mrs Bouldger is always quick to remind them |
[04:18.78] | that ' family is family' and ' blood is thicker than water' |
[04:23.29] | The conjoined sisters are not popular amongst the other girls, |
[04:27.14] | however, one gentle resident, a few years their senior |
[04:30.96] | befriends them and takes them under her wing. |
[04:32.50] | " Hello, what' s your name?" |
[04:33.88] | Her name is Sandy |
[04:35.17] | " I' m Sandy" |
[04:36.09] | She has soft, blond hair that reaches down to her knees |
[04:39.93] | Everyone says she looks like a mermaid |
[04:42.57] | Dressed daily by Mrs Bouldger |
[04:44.06] | in trade mark fishnet stockings and vintage attire, |
[04:47.45] | Sandy is by far the most popular girl of the underwood. |
[04:50.61] | She has so many uncles that the twins lose count |
[04:53.87] | Every night after dinner and chores, |
[04:56.03] | Sandy talks the young sisters into bed |

[05:02.84] | " And after the three long weeks at sea |
[05:05.03] | Jean Luke, the sailor finally spotted land" |
[05:08.98] | But these happy times do not last. |
[05:12.18] | Shortly after the twins' third Christmas |
[05:14.67] | under Mrs Bouldger' s care, |
[05:16.16] | Sandy disappears never to return |
[05:20.64] | The twins remain in the underwood |
[05:23.58] | for the greater part of two, long, miserable years. |
[05:26.17] | Without Sandy to protect them, |

[06:50.95] | spend many hours each day practicing their act. |
[06:53.27] | " What are you staring at for?" |
[06:54.58] | The girls are frightened of the clowns, |
[06:56.32] | several of whom, by amazing coincidence, |
[06:59.02] | also happen to be their uncles |
[07:00.97] | " Hello, hello, hello" |
[07:02.67] | But still, overall these early days |
[07:05.48] | at the circus are happy time for the twins |
[07:08.35] | Every night to the delight of audiences across the country, |
[07:11.72] | the girls appear in the center ring, singing and strumming the ukulele, |
[07:15.54] | at the top of Bimba and Kimba |
[07:17.73] | the world' s only known conjoined twin siamese elephants. |
[07:22.36] | The twins feel they have found true soulmates in Bimba and Kimba, |
[07:26.51] | who they affectionately refer to as' Elephant, Elephant'. |
[07:29.48] | This special bond is reciprocates by the pakaderms, |
[07:32.47] | who fondly nozzle the girls with their trunks |
[07:34.85] | and seem to delight in giving them rides. |
[07:38.03] | The twins and the elephants are inseparable |
[07:41.30] | With the help of the Alphonso de Ares tin, the animal trainer, |
[07:45.53] | the twins tend to the elephants, feeding them and grooming them daily. |
[07:50.13] | But one terrible August morning, |
[07:52.03] | Bimba and Kimba refuse to take their food. |
[07:54.55] | Due to the unsanitary conditions of their quarters |
[07:57.67] | and an improper diet of popcorn and cotton candy, |
[08:00.59] | the elephants have contracted a rare form of elephantine diphtheria |
[08:04.22] | compounded by early onset Alzheimer' s disease |
[08:07.31] | For the next two weeks can only stand by helplessly, |
[08:11.42] | as their companions become sicker and weaker |
[08:13.91] | and begin displaying obvious signs of memory loss. |
[08:17.17] | The last few days are almost unbearable. |
[08:19.61] | With Bimba and Kimba' s confused, sad eyes |
[08:22.65] | looking up at the girls with great anguish, |
[08:25.31] | but no hint of recognition. |
[08:26.85] | And on one, grim, September day |
[08:29.82] | The sisters 16th birthday |
[08:32.35] | Elephant Elephant dies. |
[08:35.59] | The funeral is held at the same day |
[08:37.99] | a grizzly affair had an industrial trush compactor |
[08:41.06] | behind a Home Depot in Fort Dodge, Iowa. |
[08:46.12] | The twins are devastated. |
[08:48.48] | Without Bimba and Kimba life is but a terrible and meaningless void. |
[08:53.03] | They resign themselves to living out |
[08:55.18] | the rest of their hollow existence in solemn mourning. |
[08:58.50] | The emotionally exausted sisters fall from favour within the circus |
[09:02.49] | No longer willing to sing and play their ukulele, |
[09:05.89] | the girls are dressed in a pink tutu |
[09:08.84] | and forced to balance on the giant red ball, |
[09:11.43] | an impossible task for the conjoined sisters |
[09:14.66] | " Get on that damn ball!" |
[09:16.44] | The audience roars with laughter each time they awkwardly fall. |
[09:21.02] | Their discomfort is increased by a pair of radical groups |
[09:25.60] | who have taken an interest ih the twins. |
[09:27.62] | Every night in most major cities, |
[09:30.00] | protestiers assemble, nosily waving signs |
[09:32.25] | and chanting slogans in front of the Box Office. |
[09:35.30] | The first faction claims to represent an organization called ' FASSEN' |
[09:39.80] | the Foundation for Always Separating Siamese Twins Everywhere Now. |
[09:46.36] | Citing the bible, FASSEN members believe |
[09:49.52] | that it is the will of the Lord that all conjoined twins be separated |
[09:53.34] | and allowed to live individual lives. |
[09:55.92] | Wielding symbolical surgical saws and blunt carbon knives, |
[09:59.28] | FASSEN members tried the ticket buyers for supporting the abomination of god. |
[10:04.55] | The second group operates under the acronym SPLIT |
[10:08.46] | the Society for the Preservation of Linked Identical Twins. |
[10:13.24] | A reactionary organisation, working to discredit the claims of FASSEN, |
[10:18.02] | SPLIT believes that conjoined twins will play a |
[10:20.81] | critical role in the second coming of Christ. |
[10:23.52] | The twins are terrified by both groups |
[10:26.73] | the knives and saws make them very nervous |
[10:29.68] | and SPLIT members make threats to kidnap the girls |
[10:33.33] | and take them to where they will be kept safe |
[10:35.41] | in a place of darkness until the rapture. |
[10:38.66] | One day before a Sunday matine e in Sacramento, |
[10:42.22] | a chaotic brawl erupts between the two factions |
[10:46.08] | and one FASSEN member gets allarmingly close to the twins with a hacksaw. |
[10:52.49] | Stricken with fear, the sisters decide |
[10:54.88] | that they are no longer safe at the circus. |
[10:57.23] | That night, they make a resolution |
[11:00.00] | to leave the Dillard and Fullerton travelling show |
[11:04.99] | FOREVER |

al: Evelyn Evelyn | |
[00:01.63] | Are you crying, Evelyn? |
[00:03.15] | No... no... Yes. I was just thinking about Sandy. |
[00:08.01] | And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them, Evelyn. |
[00:11.84] | I know, I miss them too. |
[00:14.74] | Especially this time of year, Evelyn. |
[00:20.56] | The year is 1991, |
[00:22.76] | Terminator 2 is the highestgrossing film at the Box Office, |
[00:26.93] | the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released |
[00:30.85] | and after 70 years of Communist rule |
[00:33.61] | the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed. |
[00:36.60] | And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia |
[00:40.30] | twin sisters are waiting for their supper. |
[00:43.03] | The farm is old and operated by Alfred McClock, |
[00:46.53] | an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponery. |
[00:50.28] | McClock' s chicken farms produces over 140000 chickens a year |
[00:54.81] | and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States. |
[00:59.33] | Despite the modest success of his business, |
[01:01.75] | McClock leads a solitary life, |
[01:03.83] | never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself. |
[01:08.20] | A simple man with a not entirely bad heart. |
[01:11.31] | McClock never knew how to best take care of the young girls |
[01:14.67] | who came into his life shortly after their birth, |
[01:17.11] | so he raised them the only way he knew how |
[01:20.30] | in a 2 foot by 2 foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash, |
[01:24.79] | crumbles, pellets and egg booster. |
[01:28.79] | One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm |
[01:32.88] | McClock does not come at meal time. |
[01:35.46] | Night falls and still he doesn' t appear. |
[01:38.77] | The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger. |
[01:43.27] | Days pass and the chickens in neighbouring cage begin to die. |
[01:47.22] | The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn. |
[01:52.37] | Finally, desperate to find food |
[01:55.27] | and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian, |
[01:57.90] | the twins break free from their cage. |
[02:00.80] | McClock' s house is locked tight, |
[02:03.24] | but the girls find the garden hose which quenches their thirst. |
[02:06.34] | Still half delirious with hunger, |
[02:08.67] | they make their way out to the road. |
[02:11.02] | Little time passes before a dusty black |
[02:13.64] | cadillac Coupe de Ville drives by and pulls over. |
[02:17.33] | A tall, moustached young man with a kindly face steps out of the vehicle. |
[02:22.12] | He smiles at the girls, " Hello" |
[02:23.97] | And presents them with the first candy they had ever tasted |
[02:26.71] | a Twix bar, which they share in silent, odd delight. |
[02:32.77] | The girls do not feel at all uncomfortable |
[02:35.23] | when the man lifts them gently into the dark, spacious trunk. |
[02:42.50] | In the following days the girls are transferred into the trunks |
[02:44.38] | or several other cars by many other kindly, candybar offering men |
[02:50.61] | until they reach their final destination at the lake side lodge in Manitoba. |
[02:55.48] | The underwood lodge is a collection of cosy, water front cabins |
[02:59.70] | with an attached trailor park along the shores of lake Winnipeg. |
[03:03.24] | It is also the world headquarters of Budding Flowers Entertainment |
[03:07.92] | specializing in the production and distribution of photographs |
[03:11.44] | and VHS tapes for clientele with unique tastes. |
[03:15.14] | The girls are welcomed by Mrs Deborah Bouldger, |
[03:18.33] | the 52yearold proprietress |
[03:20.22] | " Well, hello, girls" |
[03:22.24] | A women of enormous proportions |
[03:24.59] | who lives with her own 3 children in the main lodge of the underwood. |
[03:28.45] | Upon finding that the girls have no names |
[03:30.82] | she christens them Eva and Lynn, names, which neither she, |
[03:34.75] | nor the twins themselves are ever able to keep straight" Eva, Lynn" |
[03:39.90] | The twins days of the underwood are relatively comfortable, |
[03:43.00] | they are well cared for, the food is delicious |
[03:45.70] | and there are many other girls their age |
[03:48.06] | Once a week, photo sessions take place, |
[03:50.34] | convivial affairs that involve makeup, |
[03:53.14] | a wide variety of dress up costumes and inventive new games. |
[03:57.79] | Every few days Mrs Bouldger introduces the girls to one of their many uncles |
[04:02.77] | " Eva, Lyn, say hello to your uncle Mark" " Heeey" |
[04:07.50] | These uncles, seemingly endless in number, |
[04:10.00] | travel from all over the world to visit their nieces |
[04:13.72] | The girls don' t always like their new uncles, |
[04:15.95] | but Mrs Bouldger is always quick to remind them |
[04:18.78] | that ' family is family' and ' blood is thicker than water' |
[04:23.29] | The conjoined sisters are not popular amongst the other girls, |
[04:27.14] | however, one gentle resident, a few years their senior |
[04:30.96] | befriends them and takes them under her wing. |
[04:32.50] | " Hello, what' s your name?" |
[04:33.88] | Her name is Sandy |
[04:35.17] | " I' m Sandy" |
[04:36.09] | She has soft, blond hair that reaches down to her knees |
[04:39.93] | Everyone says she looks like a mermaid |
[04:42.57] | Dressed daily by Mrs Bouldger |
[04:44.06] | in trade mark fishnet stockings and vintage attire, |
[04:47.45] | Sandy is by far the most popular girl of the underwood. |
[04:50.61] | She has so many uncles that the twins lose count |
[04:53.87] | Every night after dinner and chores, |
[04:56.03] | Sandy talks the young sisters into bed |
[04:58.54] | and tells them fantastic stories until they fall peacefully to sleep |
[05:02.84] | " And after the three long weeks at sea |
[05:05.03] | Jean Luke, the sailor finally spotted land" |
[05:08.98] | But these happy times do not last. |
[05:12.18] | Shortly after the twins' third Christmas |
[05:14.67] | under Mrs Bouldger' s care, |
[05:16.16] | Sandy disappears never to return |
[05:20.64] | The twins remain in the underwood |
[05:23.58] | for the greater part of two, long, miserable years. |
[05:26.17] | Without Sandy to protect them, |
[05:27.99] | they are ostracized and abused by the other girls |
[05:31.03] | " What are YOU looking at, 4eyes?!" |
[05:33.29] | The photo sessions involve fewer fancy costumes |
[05:35.89] | and over time, their uncles become more peculiar |
[05:39.47] | " Did I ask you to talk?" |
[05:40.96] | The twins begin to notice the disturbing tendency |
[05:43.63] | for girls, much like their dear friend Sandy |
[05:46.56] | they quietly disappear from the underwood around their 12th or 13th birthday. |
[05:50.99] | The sisters brace themselves for something terrible |
[05:54.13] | One autumn, when the girls are eleven, |
[05:57.74] | an old man, who speaks only Spanish, |
[05:59.88] | takes the twins into a large, orange van |
[06:02.35] | and drives them to their new home |
[06:04.01] | " Step right up, step right up, see amazing human oddities, |
[06:07.44] | freaks of nature, be warned, people with heart condition, |
[06:10.86] | children, women we will accept no responsibility for fainting, |
[06:14.66] | reoccurring nightmares, or death" |
[06:16.58] | Dillard and Fullerton, elusive and illogical traveling |
[06:19.76] | show is the 12th largest touring circus in North America. |
[06:23.31] | Former insurance salesman, |
[06:25.38] | Dillard and Fullerton, distinguish their enterprise |
[06:27.96] | by procuring the most procuring specimen of the grotesque and unusual. |
[06:32.21] | Their small administrative staff works tirelessly |
[06:35.17] | to combat legal actions and public allegations |
[06:37.76] | of animal cruelty and human slave trafficing. |
[06:40.90] | Life in the circus is harder than their time at the underwood. |
[06:43.92] | There is always work to be done. |
[06:45.72] | In addition to their chores of laundry and sweeping, |
[06:48.27] | Mr Dillard insist that the twins |
[06:50.95] | spend many hours each day practicing their act. |

[07:22.36] | The twins feel they have found true soulmates in Bimba and Kimba, |
[07:26.51] | who they affectionately refer to as' Elephant, Elephant'. |
[07:29.48] | This special bond is reciprocates by the pakaderms, |
[07:32.47] | who fondly nozzle the girls with their trunks |
[07:34.85] | and seem to delight in giving them rides. |
[07:38.03] | The twins and the elephants are inseparable |
[07:41.30] | With the help of the Alphonso de Ares tin, the animal trainer, |

[11:04.99] | FOREVER |
[00:01.63] | Evelyn,你在哭吗? |
[00:03.15] | 不 没有。。。是的 我刚刚想起Sandy |
[00:08.01] | 还有Bimba和Kimba。我很想念她们,Evelyn。 |
[00:11.84] | 我知道,我也很想她们。 |
[00:14.74] | 特别是到每年的这个时候,Evelyn。 |
[00:20.56] | 那一年是1991年, |
[00:22.76] | 终结者2是影院里的最高票房电影, |
[00:26.93] | 超级任天堂刚刚发布, |
[00:30.85] | 以及共产党统治了70年的 |
[00:33.61] | 苏联的社会主义联盟共和国已经解体。 |
[00:36.60] | 在一个养鸡场旁,Claxton和Georgia |
[00:40.30] | 姐妹俩正等待享用她们的晚餐。 |
[00:43.03] | 这个老旧的农场是由Alfred McClock经营的, |
[00:46.53] | 他是拥有美国南北战争武器的一个有魅力的怪人。 |
[00:50.28] | 他的鸡场每年供应超过14万只鸡, |
[00:54.81] | 以及船运鸡翅和鸡腿至美国内陆各个地方。 |
[00:59.33] | 尽管他的生意做得比较成功, |
[01:01.75] | 但McClock他过着孤单的生活, |
[01:03.83] | 终身未娶,独自经营着养鸡场。 |
[01:08.20] | 一个纯朴但心肠并不坏的人, |
[01:11.31] | 他从来都不知道如何更好地照顾这 |
[01:14.67] | 在他出生后短暂闯进他生活的姐妹俩, |
[01:17.11] | 所以他以他知道的唯一方式抚养她们, |
[01:20.30] | 就是在2英尺*2英尺的的金属网笼里像喂鸡的方式喂养她们, |
[01:24.79] | 面包屑,用蛋助推器做成丸子。 |
[01:28.79] | 在九月的一个清爽天,也是姐妹俩在农场度过的第六个年头, |
[01:32.88] | McClock在用餐时间没有出现, |
[01:35.46] | 直到夜幕降临,他依旧没有现身。 |
[01:38.77] | 女孩们和鸡因为饥饿而哭泣。 |
[01:43.27] | 日子一天天过去,在隔壁笼里的鸡开始死亡。 |
[01:47.22] | 家禽的腐烂味弥漫在闷热潮湿的谷仓里。 |
[01:52.37] | 最终,她们因不耐饥饿和干渴去寻找食物 , |
[01:55.27] | 担心她们监护人的下落, |
[01:57.90] | 姐妹俩冲破牢笼。 |
[02:00.80] | McClock的房子的大门是紧锁着的, |
[02:03.24] | 但好在女孩们找到花园里的水管,熄灭了她们干渴的火。 |
[02:06.34] | 仍伴随着发狂和饥饿的状态, |
[02:08.67] | 她们寻找出路,来到公路边。 |
[02:11.02] | 没过多久,一辆落满灰尘的黑色的 |
[02:13.64] | 凯迪拉克跑车行驶并她们面前停了下来。 |
[02:17.33] | 一个身材高高带有胡子的面善的年轻男人从车里走了出来。 |
[02:22.12] | 他微笑地对女孩们打招呼说“你好” |
[02:23.97] | 并给了她们第一次次吃的Twix巧克力棒, |
[02:26.71] | 她们仨人在沉默,怪异的愉悦气氛中。 |
[02:32.77] | 女孩们并没有感到不舒服 |
[02:35.23] | 当这个男人温柔地将她们放入黑暗宽敞的后车厢时。 |
[02:42.50] | 在接下里的几天里,女孩们被许多看起来和蔼的还给她们糖果棒的人 |
[02:44.38] | 转移到不同的后备箱中或几辆不同的车里 |
[02:50.61] | 直到她们到达最终目的地马尼托巴省(加拿大中部)湖边的一个小木屋。 |
[02:55.48] | 这住宿处是一个温暖舒适的,前有流水的小屋, |
[02:59.70] | 附带一个拖车公园在温尼伯湖的岸上。 |
[03:03.24] | 也是国际花骨朵儿娱乐公司的总部 |
[03:07.92] | 专营图像生成和分发 |
[03:11.44] | 以及为特别喜好需求的客户提供家用录像带。 |
[03:15.14] | 女孩们受到公司所有者 |
[03:18.33] | 52岁的Deborah Bouldger女士的欢迎, |
[03:20.22] | “你们好,女孩们” |
[03:22.24] | 这个女人拥有巨额财产, |
[03:24.59] | 与她的三个孩子住在林中的主别墅中。 |
[03:28.45] | 发现姐妹俩没有名字, |
[03:30.82] | 便以Eva和Lynn给她俩起名,这名字,既不是 |
[03:34.75] | 她也不是双胞胎姐妹俩能保证一直是“Eva,Lynn“ |
[03:39.90] | 姐妹俩在屋中的日子过得可谓舒坦, |
[03:43.00] | 她们被很好地照料着,有美味的食物, |
[03:45.70] | 和许多像她们一样年纪的女孩们。 |
[03:48.06] | 每星期的一次有关照片会议照常举行, |
[03:50.34] | 都是些让人欢乐的事情,包括使用化妆品, |
[03:53.14] | 穿上不同的华丽的服装和玩一些别出心裁的游戏。 |
[03:57.79] | 每隔几天Bouldger女士都会把这些女孩介绍给她们众多“叔叔”中一位 |
[04:02.77] | “Eva,Lyn,来跟你的马克叔叔问好“ ”嘿“ |
[04:07.50] | 这些叔叔们,看起来似乎是没有止尽的数目, |
[04:10.00] | 他们从世界各地跑来看望他们的”侄女们“ |
[04:13.72] | 女孩们一直都不喜欢她们的新叔叔们, |
[04:15.95] | 但Bouldger女士会经常跟她们说 |
[04:18.78] | “都是一家人”和“血浓于水” |
[04:23.29] | 这对连体姐妹在其他女孩中不受欢迎, |
[04:27.14] | 然而,只有一位温柔的居民,比她们年长几岁的 |
[04:30.96] | 愿意和她们做朋友并且保护她们在自己的羽翼下。 |
[04:32.50] | “你好,你叫什么名字?” |
[04:33.88] | (她的名字是Sandy) |
[04:35.17] | ”我叫Sandy“ |
[04:36.09] | 她有一头及膝的柔软的金发 |
[04:39.93] | 每个人都说她看起来像美人鱼 |
[04:42.57] | 她的日常穿衣都由Bouldger女士打理, |
[04:44.06] | 标志性的网格透视长袜和复古的服装, |
[04:47.45] | 在这个地方,Sandy是女孩们中最受欢迎的。 |
[04:50.61] | 她有如此多的“叔叔”,双胞胎姐妹都记不清了。 |
[04:53.87] | 晚餐后和家务琐事后的每个夜晚, |
[04:56.03] | Sandy会哄小妹妹们睡觉, |
[04:58.54] | 给她们讲有趣美好的故事直到她们安然入睡 |
[05:02.84] | “在海上度过了三个漫长的星期后, |
[05:05.03] | Jean Luke,这个水手最终发现了陆地“ |
[05:08.98] | 但像这样的快乐时光并没有持续多久。 |
[05:12.18] | 在双胞胎姐妹短暂地度过的第三个圣诞节, |
[05:14.67] | 在Bouldger女士的照顾下, |
[05:16.16] | Sandy消失了 一直没有回来过 |
[05:20.64] | 双胞胎依然留在屋中 |
[05:23.58] | 大部分时间是在漫长悲惨的两年度过。 |
[05:26.17] | 没有Sandy对她俩的保护, |
[05:27.99] | 她们遭到其他女孩的排斥和虐待。 |
[05:31.03] | ”你们在看什么?!四眼怪!“ |
[05:33.29] | 照片例会少了很多漂亮的服装 |
[05:35.89] | 并且随着时间的过去,叔叔们变得更加奇怪 |
[05:39.47] | ”我有让你说话吗?“ |
[05:40.96] | 姐妹俩开始注意到让人不安的走势, |
[05:43.63] | 女孩们,像她们亲爱的朋友Sandy一样 |
[05:46.56] | 在她们大概12还是13岁的生日左右悄悄地从屋中消失。 |
[05:50.99] | 姐妹俩因为事情的可怕打起精神来。 |
[05:54.13] | 在一个秋天,那时姐妹俩11岁, |
[05:57.74] | 一个只会说西班牙语的老男人, |
[05:59.88] | 把这对双胞胎姐妹带进了大大的橙色货车 |
[06:02.35] | 把她们载到她们的新家。 |
[06:04.01] | ”过来看,都过来看看,看看让人惊奇的人类中异数, |
[06:07.44] | 大自然的怪胎,注意了,有心脏病的人, |
[06:10.86] | 儿童,女人们,我们可不承担你们被吓晕 |
[06:14.66] | 做噩梦或吓die的责任啊“。 |
[06:16.58] | 迪拉德和福勒顿,让人难懂的不合逻辑的奇异秀 |
[06:19.76] | 是在美国北部举行的第十二届最大的马戏团游行。 |
[06:23.31] | 前任保险销售员, |
[06:25.38] | 迪拉德和福勒顿,他们公司是以 |
[06:27.96] | 取得最怪异和不同寻常的样本而出名。 |
[06:32.21] | 他们的小行政职员不知疲倦地 |
[06:35.17] | 为有关合法表演行为、公众对残忍虐待动物的控诉 |
[06:37.76] | 以及人奴交易指控而作斗争。 |
[06:40.90] | 在马戏团的生活比在小木屋的生活还艰难, |
[06:43.92] | 这儿总有做不完的工作。 |
[06:45.72] | 除了要洗衣,打扫的琐事之外, |
[06:48.27] | 迪拉德先生还要求姐妹俩 |
[06:50.95] | 每天花上很多个钟来练习她们的表演。 |
[06:53.27] | ”你们在盯着什么看?“ |
[06:54.58] | 女孩们很害怕那些小丑, |
[06:56.32] | 因为惊人的巧合,他们其中几位 |
[06:59.02] | 也是她们的”叔叔们“ |
[07:00.97] | ”你们好,你们好,你们好呀“ |
[07:02.67] | 但还好,除了开始的这些天, |
[07:05.48] | 在马戏团的时间是姐妹俩快乐的时光。 |
[07:08.35] | 没完,在来自全国各地的观众的欢呼高兴的气氛中, |
[07:11.72] | 女孩们出现在中央的大环里,在Bimba和Kimba的顶上, |
[07:15.54] | 世界闻名的连体大象之上, |
[07:17.73] | 唱着歌,弹着尤克里里。 |
[07:22.36] | 连体姐妹感觉到她们在Bimba和Kimba身上找到真正的灵魂伴侣了, |
[07:26.51] | 她们亲切真挚地称它们为“大象,大象”。 |
[07:29.48] | 而这特别的约定也被这对大象接受,并 |
[07:32.47] | 回礼给姐妹俩以用象鼻温柔地卷起, |
[07:34.85] | 以及很高兴地让她俩骑着。 |
[07:38.03] | (连体姐妹和大象是形影不离地好朋友) |
[07:41.30] | 在阿方索 de Ares tin驯养师地帮助下, |
[07:45.53] | 姐妹俩开始给大象喂食及日常地刷洗。 |
[07:50.13] | 但是在八月的一个可怕地早晨, |
[07:52.03] | Bimba和Kimba拒绝她们的喂食。 |
[07:54.55] | 由于它们不健康的住所环境, |
[07:57.67] | 以及不正确的爆米花、棉花糖的饮食, |
[08:00.59] | 大象患上了罕见的象型白喉, |
[08:04.22] | 由于早前的阿尔兹海默病(老年痴呆)的发作而恶化了。 |
[08:07.31] | 在接下来的两周,只能无助地站立, |
[08:11.42] | 作为她们的同伴,变得越来越瘦弱, |
[08:13.91] | 开始表现出很明显的失忆迹象。 |
[08:17.17] | 在最后几天,几乎让人无法忍受。 |
[08:19.61] | Bimba和Kimba迷惑,悲伤的双眼 |
[08:22.65] | 带着极度痛苦的眼神望向女孩们, |
[08:25.31] | 但没认出她们。 |
[08:26.85] | 之后在九月的一个凄切冷酷天 |
[08:29.82] | 姐妹俩的16岁生日 |
[08:32.35] | (大象死去) |
[08:35.59] | 它们的葬礼举行在同一天 |
[08:37.99] | 一个灰暗的事务是有一个工业大型的垃圾捣碎机 |
[08:41.06] | 在阿华州道奇堡的一家 家得宝(美国家居连锁店)后。 |
[08:46.12] | 姐妹俩被吓坏了。 |
[08:48.48] | 没有了Bimba和Kimba的生活不过是讨人厌无意义的孤单的生活。 |
[08:53.03] | 她们辞职退出,活在在严肃真切的哀痛里 |
[08:55.18] | 余下她们空洞无望地存在着。 |
[08:58.50] | 这对曾经让人激动叫好的姐妹俩从马戏团的偏爱榜上掉落 |
[09:02.49] | 她们不再愿意唱歌和弹尤克里里 |
[09:05.89] | 女孩们穿着粉红色的芭蕾舞裙子 |
[09:08.84] | 被强制性的平衡在大红球上 |
[09:11.43] | 对于连体姐妹来说这是不可能完成的任务 |
[09:14.66] | “站上那该死的球上!“ |
[09:16.44] | 每次她们笨拙尴尬地跌倒,观众会爆发哄笑。 |
[09:21.02] | 两个激进的组织让她们越来越不安 |
[09:25.60] | 它们对姐妹俩感兴趣。 |
[09:27.62] | 在大部分大城市里的每个晚上, |
[09:30.00] | 抗议者聚集起来,吵闹地举着标识, |
[09:32.25] | 并在售票处前喊着标语。 |
[09:35.30] | 第一个派别声称是代表一个叫”FASSEN“(谐音fasten 集中 固定之一) |
[09:39.80] | 这个组织如今到处实行分离连体胞胎的做法。 |
[09:46.36] | 引用圣经的话来说,FASSEN的成员相信 |
[09:49.52] | 是上帝的意愿让所有连体双胞胎分离 |
[09:53.34] | 获得过各自生活的自由。 |
[09:55.92] | 用象征性的外科手术中的锯子和钝的炭刀, |
[09:59.28] | FASSEN成员的行为让买票者开始支持厌恶上帝。 |
[10:04.55] | 第二个组织则是奉行所谓SPLIT(分离) |
[10:08.46] | 一个声称保护连体胞胎的的组织。 |
[10:13.24] | 一个保守的组织,主旨宣称正好与与FASSEN相反, |
[10:18.02] | SPLIT(分离)相信连体胞胎在 |
[10:20.81] | 基督再临中扮演一个重要的角色。 |
[10:23.52] | 姐妹俩没这俩二货组织吓坏了 |
[10:26.73] | 刀锯让她们很紧张 |
[10:29.68] | 而SPLIT成员又威胁要绑架她俩 |
[10:33.33] | 把她们带到一个黑暗的地方 |
[10:35.41] | 确保以后的安全直到形势让人欢喜 |
[10:38.66] | 在萨克拉门托(美国加州首府)一个星期天午后之前的一天, |
[10:42.22] | 这俩二货派别爆发了混乱的争斗, |
[10:46.08] | 而FASSEN的以成员拿着钢锯让人心揪地靠近了连体姐妹俩。 |
[10:52.49] | 由于恐惧,姐妹俩决定 |
[10:54.88] | 马戏团不再是她们的平安的之地 |
[10:57.23] | 当天晚上,她们下定决心 |
[11:00.00] | 离开迪拉德和福勒顿环游秀 |
[11:04.99] | (永远地) |
