		The two twins are drugged-up social dropouts who enjoy playing games that necessitate prolonged bong hits, and the way they are secondary to the villains in the film bears no small indication of the junkie's submission to the dealer.
		The twins do something horrific to a poodle, in the movie, and so it's unlikely you'll sympathize with either of them in any way, and given their lack of dominant screen time, they do not occupy the protagonistic role that the title would indicate.

	Town twinning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Town twinning or sister cities is a concept whereby towns or cities from geographically and politically distinct areas are paired, with the goal of fostering human contact and cultural links.
		In Europe, such pairs of towns are known as twin towns, friendship towns or, in German, partner towns (Partnerstädte); in North America and Australasia, the term sister cities is used for the same concept; and brother cities (города-побратимы) is the term in the former Soviet bloc.
		The earliest form of town twinning in Europe was between the German city of Paderborn and the French city of Le Mans in 836, although this was not officially established as a modern town twinning arrangement until 1967.
