00:53:54,255 --> 00:53:58,351 The Buick Regal hit the endless curve and lost control. 810 00:53:59,192 --> 00:54:03,310 Sparks lit the black nowhere countryside revealing a house. 811 00:54:03,810 --> 00:54:06,740 The car flipped as it reamed through the front yard. 812 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:08,983 The head came 813 00:54:09,407 --> 00:54:10,979 flying out of the car. 814 00:54:11,194 --> 00:54:13,479 as it exploded in a whoosh of fire. 815 00:54:14,842 --> 00:54:17,461 A fat woman tumbled out of the burning house. 816 00:54:17,961 --> 00:54:19,961 Her nightgown in flames. 817 00:54:20,177 --> 00:54:22,368 Her skinny husband crawled 818 00:54:22,868 --> 00:54:26,357 after down the front steps looking for his glasses. 819 00:54:27,047 --> 00:54:29,047 Minnie and Wallace Meany. 820 00:54:29,869 --> 00:54:32,336 The topless dancer was being body bagged 821 00:54:32,476 --> 00:54:35,493 when from behind the house came the sound of crying. 822 00:54:35,969 --> 00:54:37,969 And even though he couldn't see a 823 00:54:38,019 --> 00:54:39,642 thing, Wallace said, 824 00:54:39,829 --> 00:54:41,486 "Jeez, is that a baby?" 825 00:54:41,986 --> 00:54:44,480 "Yeah, isn't it yours?" asked the fireman 826 00:54:44,980 --> 00:54:48,272 "No, me and Minnie..." trailed off Wallace 827 00:54:49,028 --> 00:54:52,095 Minnie and Wallace were childless in their middle age. 828 00:54:52,595 --> 00:54:55,079 And at the insistence of Wallace, 829 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,568 they adopted the baby girl and called her 830 00:54:57,850 --> 00:54:59,133 Mini Minnie. 831 00:55:00,486 --> 00:55:04,245 The real trouble started when Little Minnie got to be a teenager. 832 00:55:04,982 --> 00:55:07,890 Big Minnie got too fat to go out of the house. 833 00:55:08,152 --> 00:55:11,552 So Wallace got a job selling baseball uniforms to 834 00:55:11,806 --> 00:55:13,806 little league teams across the country. 835 00:55:14,676 --> 00:55:16,306 Big Minnie sat in bed 836 00:55:16,436 --> 00:55:17,859 and yelled for her food. 837 00:55:17,963 --> 00:55:21,085 And made little Minnie go to the mall to rent videos for her. 838 00:55:22,959 --> 00:55:26,170 Little Minnie was walking home from the mall late one night. 839 00:55:26,359 --> 00:55:28,670 When a voice came from the bulrushes. 840 00:55:28,962 --> 00:55:30,081 "Minnie." 841 00:55:30,581 --> 00:55:31,677 "Mini Minnie," 842 00:55:31,902 --> 00:55:34,139 "I know where you came from, Mini Minnie." 843 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:39,019 Minnie was always tortured by not knowing where she came from. 844 00:55:39,699 --> 00:55:42,011 So she crept into the weeds 845 00:55:42,511 --> 00:55:45,198 "You know where I came from?" asked Minnie. 846 00:55:45,768 --> 00:55:49,505 Just then a dark figure grabbed Minnie and pulled her to the ground. 847 00:55:50,215 --> 00:55:51,571 "If you want me to tell you, 848 00:55:51,621 --> 00:55:54,806 you must let me do whatever I want to you." hissed the voice. 849 00:55:55,303 --> 00:55:57,977 "No, please, can't you just tell me?" 850 00:55:58,913 --> 00:56:00,913 "No, I need the inspiration." 851 00:56:01,034 --> 00:56:02,691 "I really need it bad." 852 00:56:03,513 --> 00:56:05,191 So Minnie gave in. 853 00:56:05,691 --> 00:56:07,691 He did whatever he wanted to her. 854 00:56:07,848 --> 00:56:10,115 Awful, unspeakable things. 855 00:56:10,615 --> 00:56:12,615 But worse was what he said to her. 856 00:56:13,717 --> 00:56:16,213 "Your mother would lay before any man 857 00:56:16,263 --> 00:56:18,951 at any time and was always having babies. 858 00:56:19,578 --> 00:56:21,322 But she hated the children. 859 00:56:21,652 --> 00:56:24,912 And she needed to hide her pregnancies from her foolish husband. 860 00:56:25,706 --> 00:56:27,983 She hid them by getting really fat. 861 00:56:28,483 --> 00:56:30,483 And when the babies were born 862 00:56:30,661 --> 00:56:32,907 she didn't know what to do with the babies. 863 00:56:33,070 --> 00:56:34,984 But being hungry all the time, 864 00:56:35,034 --> 00:56:36,379 she ate them." 865 00:56:38,007 --> 00:56:40,570 "Oh, no, no" screamed little Minnie. 866 00:56:40,871 --> 00:56:43,422 "Yes, yes, that's what she did. 867 00:56:44,211 --> 00:56:45,516 Until one night, 868 00:56:45,566 --> 00:56:47,318 when she was having her last baby, 869 00:56:47,818 --> 00:56:50,627 there was a car crash that stopped her from eating her baby. 870 00:56:51,127 --> 00:56:53,344 It crawled away during the confusion." 871 00:56:54,526 --> 00:56:57,052 "You mean, Minnie is my real mother?" 872 00:56:57,903 --> 00:56:59,903 "Yes" hissed the voice 873 00:57:00,403 --> 00:57:03,099 as he violated her over and over again. 874 00:57:03,684 --> 00:57:05,684 "No, she can't be." screamed Minnie. 875 00:57:06,876 --> 00:57:10,242 The dark figure ran off leaving Minnie lying in the swamp. 876 00:57:11,387 --> 00:57:13,727 She got up and went out to the road. 877 00:57:13,867 --> 00:57:15,365 and hitchhiked away. 878 00:57:15,931 --> 00:57:19,083 She worked her way north as a topless go-go dancer. 879 00:57:19,318 --> 00:57:21,005 She was always athletic. 880 00:57:21,562 --> 00:57:23,695 After many nights, Minnie finally 881 00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,586 found the site of the old Meany house. 882 00:57:26,716 --> 00:57:28,716 She dug through the burned timbers 883 00:57:29,121 --> 00:57:33,286 and in the basement, beneath a charred chrome Buick Regal insignia 884 00:57:33,786 --> 00:57:35,786 she found a pile of baby bones. 885 00:57:36,286 --> 00:57:40,672 She began at that moment her quest to bring Big Minnie to justice. 886 00:57:41,172 --> 00:57:45,411 She worked her way back to Florida dancing at the same clubs along the way. 887 00:57:46,110 --> 00:57:48,461 But she started having an awful dream. 888 00:57:49,065 --> 00:57:52,238 It was so awful it even began to hurt her dancing. 889 00:57:52,738 --> 00:57:55,757 She would wiggle so fiercely, it scared the men in the clubs. 890 00:57:56,418 --> 00:57:58,807 The owners would warn her but she would reply, 891 00:57:59,307 --> 00:58:01,307 "I can't control my dreams." 892 00:58:02,821 --> 00:58:06,256 When she got back home, Little Minnie burst in the front door. 893 00:58:06,756 --> 00:58:09,001 Big Minnie screamed, "Where have you been?" 894 00:58:09,312 --> 00:58:11,831 "You never came back with my videos or my food." 895 00:58:12,502 --> 00:58:15,044 Little Minnie rushed at the huge woman in a fury. 896 00:58:15,753 --> 00:58:18,795 Little Minnie grabbed Big Minnie's face and screamed, 897 00:58:18,993 --> 00:58:21,428 "I have something for you to eat, Mother." 898 00:58:22,169 --> 00:58:24,288 Little Minnie pinned Big Minnie down and 899 00:58:24,338 --> 00:58:26,543 shoved all the baby bones down her throat. 900 00:58:26,986 --> 00:58:28,463 Big Minnie died. 901 00:58:28,963 --> 00:58:30,963 Choked on the bones of the children. 902 00:58:31,975 --> 00:58:33,975 Little Minnie ran away to Miami 903 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,380 where she worked in clubs for months. 904 00:58:36,577 --> 00:58:40,422 Every night she would wake up screaming and crying from her dream. 905 00:58:43,715 --> 00:58:45,273 At the end of the summer, 906 00:58:45,365 --> 00:58:47,365 Little Minnie came to see Wallace. 907 00:58:47,979 --> 00:58:50,740 When he heard her coming, he jumped up 908 00:58:50,813 --> 00:58:52,421 and they hugged each other crying. 909 00:58:52,921 --> 00:58:54,797 Wallace begged her to stay. 910 00:58:57,335 --> 00:59:01,049 So life went on for a while with Little Minnie living with Wallace. 911 00:59:01,776 --> 00:59:04,512 She worked at Bob's Big Boy hamburger joint. 912 00:59:04,851 --> 00:59:07,937 They went duckpin bowling like in the old days. 913

924 00:59:40,119 --> 00:59:41,555 She calmed her down 925 00:59:41,666 --> 00:59:43,666 and told her that she should go out and 926 00:59:44,033 --> 00:59:45,871 everything would be OK. 927

01:00:02,735 --> 01:00:04,251 and was born secretly. 933 01:00:05,415 --> 01:00:07,604 She crawled into the walls of the house 934 01:00:07,668 --> 01:00:08,826 and hid. 935 01:00:09,469 -->
