The Family Fang Page #2

- We're not going to pretend

that it's better than sex,

but this is going

to make you very happy.

- Whoa!

- Look at that!

Come on. Come on,

you're a natural, man.

- Look at you.

- I get it.

That's got a lot of character.

Give me one more of those.

- Give me that, man.

[excited chatter]

One more of those.

[classical music]

Don't be afraid.

Own the moment.

If you're in control,

then the chaos will happen

around you

and not to you.

You understand?

Okay. I'm ready.

[all whoop and cheer]

One more!

One more.

- What? Don't be crazy.

- No. No, no.

No, don't push your luck.

- I'll do it.

- Let's do it. You do it.

[classical music]

[monitors beeping distantly]

- Stay with us, pal.

- What's going on?

We're headed to the hospital,

Baxter,

but I need you to talk to us,

buddy. Can you do that?

Baxter, can you do that, buddy?

- I shot you in the head.

- Huh? Yeah.

What do you want me to say?

- Doesn't matter.

Tell us anything.

Tell us about

what you're writing.

I am, uh...

I got a new book,

but I'm a little

writer's blocked.

Oh, well,

maybe we can help you out.

What's it called?

It's called, uh...

"Children's Pit."

Well, what's it about?

It's about these two kids...

a brother and a sister,

and they run away

from an orphanage.

But they get caught

by a pit master.

- Well, what's that?

- It's just a guy

who has an arena underground

and forces them

to fight for sport.

Do they escape?

- I don't know. I don't know.

I haven't gotten that far.

- Let me just take a little nap.

- No, no, no!

What's going on

with my ear?

It really hurts.

Perforated eardrum.

You'll be fine

in a few weeks.

No flying for a while,

though.

Did you say no flying?

That's what I said.

You'll feel better

when your people get here.

[chuckles]

- What does that mean?

I don't have any people.

Well, we went through

your wallet.

Standard procedure.

The doctor called your parents.

They're driving up to get you.

- [chuckles]

- No, no.

No, no. Miss?

Miss?

[jazzy bass music]

Caleb and Camille Fang

are most known for creating

improvised public events

that incorporate their own

children into the artwork.

The results are often

as unsettling

as they are arresting.

In one of their

earliest works,

Caleb Fang walked through

a crowded roller skating rink

carrying his infant daughter.

Suddenly, a series of homemade

flare-like devices

he had taped to his back

began to discharge.

Camille captured the event

from the rink's second level.

The Fangs simply throw

themselves into a space

as if they were

hand grenades,

and wait for the disruption

to occur.

- Candace Cane!

Give it up!

[audience cheers and applauds]
