(Scene: Outside the Lucas Residence; the two orphans Victoria and Lily, escorted by Dr. Dreyfuss, are being dropped off. Uncle Lucas and Aunt Annabel begin to introduce themselves.)
Uncle Lucas: Hi, I'm your Uncle Lucas. (No response from Victoria nor Lily.) This is Annabel. You're going to be living with us.
(Still no response. Lily moves a little to the left behind Victoria.)
Uncle Lucas: What's wrong with them?
Dr. Dreyfuss: Victoria and Lilly were found in deplorable conditions, alone in the wilderness for at least 5 years. How they survived is unexplainable. But we think they might have had some... (Takes off glasses) help from someone. (This has Lucas and Annabel terrified) When we found them, they were wearing these... (Holds up 2 smurf hats) hats.
(Lucas and Annabel cover their eyes.)
