[ti:The Magic Events Of September Part I] [ar:Evelyn Evelyn] [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.
