Identical Twins [shocking dialogue challenge]

-Today we’re talking to Marsha Brown and Kathy Black. Both were adopted from birth into two different families on the same day.
-Now Marsha, let me start with you, where did you grow up?
-Ontario.
-And Kathy?
-Phoenix.
-And after our last show did you stay in touch?
-We called each other every week!
-And you worked together to trace your Mother’s whereabouts?
-She moved a lot after she gave us up. We finally were able to track her down in Idaho.
-Now, your mother is in a Home, an institution for the elderly, correct?
-Yes, she was admitted under her maiden name after extensive heart surgery.
-Are you ready to meet her via satellite?
-Yes!
-Hi Mom! We found you! Can you see us?
-Yes. Marsha? Kathy? You were my twins? That’s impossible!
-Ms. Plumb, they’ve asked for a DNA test to prove it. I have the results. Would you like to hear them?
-I guess
-Well, first of all, you’re sure you are identical twins, right?
-Of course!
-Now, Ms. Plumb, you ARE Marsha’s mother!....But NOT Kathy’s?!
..
-I had fraternal twins.
