Evelyn? Evelyn? I just had the most terrible dream. |
| [00:07.72] |
I was walking on a street in a huge city, |
| [00:10.51] |
but all of the shops and all of the cars were empty. |
| [00:13.47] |
It was so quiet, and I knew that something was very wrong. |
| [00:17.83] |
And then I realised... you weren't there. |
| [00:21.78] |
I called for you, but no one answered. |
| [00:23.82] |
I looked for you everywhere, Evelyn. |
| [00:26.13] |
Hush, it was only a dream. |
| [00:28.28] |
Don't be scared. |
| [00:29.88] |
Remember, everything is going to be better soon, Evelyn. |
| [00:36.76] |
The year is 2004. |
| [00:39.76] |
The Da Vinci code is the New York Times's number one bestseller, |
| [00:43.42] |
and the bombing at the Australian embassy in Jakarta leaves eleven dead. |
| [00:48.16] |
And on an open stretch of road,two sisters are waiting for a ride. |
| [00:52.63] |
On the eve of their 19th birthday, |
| [00:55.71] |
the twins have covertly left their circus trailer, |
| [00:58.71] |
packing their few worldly possessions; |
| [01:01.23] |
a change of clothes, |
| [01:02.60] |
their painted ukulele, |
| [01:04.01] |
and a battered photograph of Bimba and Kimba. |
| [01:07.16] |
They walk nine miles under cover of night. |
| [01:10.66] |
After what seems like an endless wait, |
| [01:13.36] |
an 18-wheeled truck pulls overand the driver, |
| [01:16.90] |
a retired professional wrestler named Tony, offers the girls a ride |
| [01:21.34] |
"Hey, little ladies. Why don't you slide on up in here, next to Tony." |
| [01:25.25] |
Unskilled at small talk, |
| [01:27.36] |
the twins sit wide-eyed and silent in the front seat. |
| [01:30.97] |
The driver, who had not initially noticed the twins' unique condition |
| [01:35.42] |
leaves the sisters at a gas station in Walla Walla,Washington. |
| [01:39.67] |
"Listen why don't you two just hang out here for a minute, I'll be right back." |
| [01:43.45] |
Not knowing where to go, the twins walk in to the nearby |
| [01:47.81] |
Don't Tell Motel, run by one Montgomery Lubovich. |
| [01:51.48] |
"You girls looking for a room?" |
| [01:52.74] |
When it becomes apparent that they have no means to pay for their stay, |
| [01:56.24] |
Mister Lubovich offers to employ them in exchange for lodging and food. |
| [02:00.90] |
"Well you can stay here, but it ain't gonna be free." |
| [02:03.02] |
The twins are given a small cot in the corner of the boiler room, |
| [02:06.30] |
and are put to work stuffing envelopes, |
| [02:08.61] |
licking stamps, |
| [02:11.69] |
and filling out hundreds of sweepstakes applications every day |
| [02:15.73] |
on Mister Lubovich's behalf. |
| [02:17.57] |
More so than ever before, |
| [02:19.64] |
the twins feel lonely at the Don't Tell. |
| [02:22.10] |
They dream of befriending some of the other tenants, |
| [02:25.19] |
many of whom are women their age. |
| [02:27.52] |
But whenever the shy sisters work up the courage |
| [02:30.47] |
to approach one of these potential friends, |
| [02:32.79] |
they are met with looks of fear and disgust. |
| [02:35.76] |
"Oh my god. Candie, that thing is looking at us" . "Ewww" |
| [02:40.43] |
So they busied themselves by composing songs and practising their ukulele technique. |
| [02:46.79] |
After 2 years at the Don't Tell, |
| [02:48.64] |
Mister Lubovich teaches the girls to search for |
| [02:51.63] |
and print sweepstakes applications by themselves |
| [02:54.51] |
on the 486 Pentium computer behind the motel's front desk |
| [02:59.22] |
"Now type w-w-w dot instant win frenzy dot com." |
| [03:04.46] |
One day,while searching online for new sweepstakes application forms, |
| [03:09.25] |
the girls mistakenly stumble upon a social networking site. |
| [03:15.04] |
They navigate through the profiles of many musicians |
| [03:18.52] |
and performersand see the great number of friends that they have. |
| [03:22.67] |
(They are amazed, and intrigued.) |
| [03:25.98] |
The twins redouble their efforts and stay up late |
| [03:29.39] |
for a week to perfect their singing and ukulele playing. |
| [03:35.31] |
Late one night, |
| [03:36.34] |
while Mister Lubovich is fast asleep, |
| [03:38.50] |
the twins creep out of the boiler roomto the front desk computer |
| [03:42.44] |
to create their very own music profile page. |
| [03:46.64] |
Their heartbeats quicken as their first song begins to upload. |
| [03:57.54] |
Just think of all the friends we're going to have, Evelyn. |
| [04:02.15] |
Thousands.Thousands and thousands of friends, Evelyn. |
| [04:06.49] |
I'm so excited, Evelyn. |
| [04:10.90] |
Goodnight,Evelyn. |
| [04:12.93] |
Goodnight, Evelyn. |
