American Pickers (2010–…): Season 3, Episode 9 - They Boldly Go - full transcript

THURMOND: So Jesse
James hung out in this area.

FRANK: So Jesse James
might have sat here?

THURMOND: Might
have sat at this table.

FRANK: And me and Mike
actually got to sit down on it.

FRANK: Woo.

MIKE: We're going
to meet Captain Kirk.

SHATNER: Well, have
I got a house for you.

Unfinished, unfurnished.

MIKE: This is one of those
moments in life that you

just wanna sop
up with a biscuit.

MIKE: You're lookin' for
pieces that are out of this world.



FRANK: Jim, how
much is this one?

JIM: I couldn't go
any less than 25 on it.

MIKE: With Shatner,
the galaxy's the limit, but

we're still gonna try and
talk the guy down for 'em.

MIKE: We'll have
it your way, 2475.

FRANK: I mean, I'm feelin'
kind of nervous here, this

is William Shatner, and I
do not wanna let him down.

MIKE: This is it.

LIZ: Oh my gosh.

MIKE: What do you think?

LIZ: I'm speechless.

MIKE: I'm Mike Wolfe.

FRANK: And I'm Frank Fritz.

MIKE: And we're pickers.



FRANK: We travel the back
roads of America looking

for rusty gold.

We're looking for amazing
things buried in people's

garages and barns.

MIKE: What most people see
as junk, we see as dollar signs.

FRANK: We'll buy anything
we think we can make a buck on.

MIKE: Each item we pick
has a history all its own

and the people we meet, well,
they're a breed all their own.

We make a living telling
the history of America

one piece at a time.

[phone ringing]

FRANK: Danielle!

MIKE: What's goin' on, girl?

DANIELLE: I just got
a call from somebody,

you will not believe who.

FRANK: Who?

DANIELLE: Just one guess.

MIKE: Pauly Shore.

DANIELLE: Really? Pauly Shore.

MIKE: Kid Rock.

FRANK: What about Vince Vaughn?

DANIELLE: No.
Think into the galaxy.

FRANK: Galaxy, uh-

MIKE: George Jetson.

DANIELLE: Close.
FRANK: Buck Rodgers.

DANIELLE: Not George Jetson.

William Freakin' Shatner!

FRANK: Captain Kirk?!

DANIELLE: He's like the
sex icon of the century.

MIKE: [laughs]

FRANK: We know who he is.

MIKE: Have you been
smelling too much nail polish?

DANIELLE: No, I'm dead serious.

William Shatner.

He has a place in Kentucky
and he wants you guys to

come and take a look at
it and see if you can find

some key pieces.

MIKE: William Shatner
wants us to pick for him?

DANIELLE: Right, yeah,
he wants you to pick for him.

FRANK: So does he have like
some ideas what he's looking for?

DANIELLE: I have a feeling
that there's one specific item,

which would be a
five nine brunette.

MIKE: Are you saying
you've got a crush on

William Shatner?

DANIELLE: I've had a crush
on William Shatner since

I was, like, five.

MIKE: The dude's
like eighty years old.

DANIELLE: I'll take it.

MIKE: I'll take it!

FRANK: Okay, well,
we'll drop a hint that, uh,

we've got somebody
that wants to meet him and

you guys can work
it out from there.

DANIELLE: Done.

MIKE: Ok, call him back
right away and tell him

we're on our way to a
pick right now, but after that

we'll be right over.

DANIELLE: Ok.

MIKE: Thanks honey.

DANIELLE: Alright, get going.

FRANK: William Shatner!

MIKE: I got yer back, man.

FRANK: Shatner!

MIKE: We're so psyched
about the call from Shatner,

but we're already on our
way to a pick in Tennessee.

So we're going to go there
first and then boogie on

over to William Shatner's.

MIKE: Drivin' through
these Tennessee hills

reminds me of Dolly Parton.

FRANK: What, you
mean all the curves?

MIKE: Yeah, all the curves.

FRANK: The big ups and downs,
the mounds, and the mountains.

MIKE: Yeah. You
know what I'm saying.

Maybe I've been on the
road too long, I guess.

FRANK: Oh, look at
all those wild turkeys.

MIKE: Wow.

MIKE: Alright, here we
are goin' to another location

of some guy that Danielle
thinks sounds cute on the phone.

FRANK: That guy's named
Thurmond, so I don't know

how cute a guy named
Thurmond can be.

FRANK: I dunno, this
guy looks like he's livin' in

a pretty decent area, here
Mike, he has some good stuff.

Look at these houses.

MIKE: I don't even think
we're in the right area.

MIKE: The neighborhood
just didn't seem like this

guy's kind of place.

I mean, nothing was junked
up, there wasn't anything

in anyone's front yard.

FRANK: Look at that house!

MIKE: That's a nice house.

FRANK: Gosh darn.

MIKE: She said this guy,
like his whole house has

been repurposed wood,
repurposed windows.

MIKE: So we were
feelin' a little bit lost in the

beginning, but then
when we saw this dirt road

headin' up here,
I was like, okay,

this has gotta be it.

MIKE: Alright, I'm pullin'
in at this rustic fence.

FRANK: He's got some
prime real estate up here.

MIKE: This place
is off the road, man!

FRANK: I'm tellin' ya.

MIKE: Danielle said that
this guy usually doesn't

let people stop by, but
she said, you know what,

hey, I've schmoozed
him up, he's ready to rock.

MIKE: This has gotta be it.

MIKE: Hello!

MIKE: Hey, you Thurmond?

THURMOND: I'm Thurmond!

MIKE: Hey, what's
goin' on? I'm Mike.

THURMOND: Mike, pleasure.

FRANK: How are
you doin'? I'm Frank.

THURMOND: Frank.

FRANK: Comes out with
a ponytail, he's got a great

big moustache, I mean, he
looks like just our kind of guy.

THURMOND: I talked to
Danielle all about you guys.

MIKE: Yeah. She,
uh, what'd she say?

She said she thought
you sounded cute.

FRANK: You sounded
cute over the phone or

somethin' like that.

THURMOND: I like that!

FRANK: She said you
had, like a lotta stuff,

and we were like, what
do you mean by stuff?

THURMOND: Well, I've
been in the business collecting

junk for about 25 years.

THURMOND: Normally,
guys, I don't let anyone in but

I'm tryin' to make room
and make some money.

MIKE: Hey, you know
what, we've been in that

position ourselves.

Sometimes I feel like puttin'
an addition on the building,

but I know if we do, it's
gonna, it's gonna be crazy.

THURMOND: Yeah,
I just built this one.

MIKE: Oh, you built this?

THURMOND: Yes.

FRANK: Oh, like all
repurposed wood?

THURMOND: I've been in
the construction business

for 25 years.

I just fell in love with old
structures and decided

to tear down old
salvage and build 'em.

MIKE: I noticed, this barn
down here, it had a lot of

architectural detail.

Did you build that too?

THURMOND: Yes.

MIKE: This guy is cool,
we're up a dirt road, he's

got some old buildings,
we're lookin' around,

there's lots of junk everywhere.

This is a perfect
situation for a pick.

MIKE: So what do you
use this building for?

THURMOND: Junk.

MIKE: Just for junk? Alright,
that sounds like our speed.

FRANK: I'm ready. Climb on in?

THURMOND: Sounds
like a winner, huh?

MIKE: Yeah. Come on in Frankie.

THURMOND: Come on in guys.

FRANK: Like a winner, huh.

MIKE: Alright, I
like your stairs.

FRANK: No doubt.

FRANK: Oh man, this is cool.

THURMOND: Thank you.

MIKE: Oh yeah. Man,
you got everything in here.

MIKE: I'm lookin' around
the room, I see primitives,

I see architectural,
I see advertising.

I mean, this guy
has a great eye.

And I'm thinkin', in the
back of my mind, Danielle

did a good job here.

MIKE: Tell me
about this metal table.

THURMOND: That table
there was used at the Nashville

banner, which is no longer
in existence, the newspaper.

FRANK: That's a
heavy duty there.

MIKE: This thing
does look heavy.

So how'd you find this,
how'd you know the origin of it?

THURMOND: Uh, at
the sale that I bought it at.

MIKE: Ok.

THURMOND: I found
out from those guys.

I bought two of 'em.

FRANK: I love the
big casters on it.

THURMOND: One
hit the road quick.

MIKE: What did you
get out of the last one?

THURMOND: 300.

MIKE: 300 bucks?

MIKE: Right now,
industrial stuff is very cool.

This thing's got the
look, it's got big large legs,

it's heavy duty.

MIKE: Hell, I can't even
talk you down, you already

got 300 rollin'.

THURMOND: That's it, brother.

MIKE: Alright, I'll do it, I'll
do 300 on this one. I love it.

MIKE: Thurmond's price,
at 3 large, I broke the ice

there and we opened the gates.

MIKE: What's the story
with this, Thurmond,

why's it got this?

THURMOND: It's a dog
puller for a circus and

a monkey rode in it.

FRANK: A monkey rode in it, wow.

MIKE: Really?

[♪]

THURMOND: I'd say
the wheel's probably from

at least the forties.

MIKE: Yeah. yeah, like
a nautical lazy susan.

FRANK: I know. It's cool.

FRANK: He just did not
pigeonhole himself to just

one type of collectible
or something.

He's got a vast array
of everything here.

Torrance, California.

MIKE: Ooh, look at that, man.

FRANK: Ooh.

MIKE: That's hot.

FRANK: Skateboard California.

MIKE: I like the racing
stripes on that thing.

[♪]

FRANK: This is super cool
too, what's the story on this?

MIKE: Yeah, it's got,
like a drape on the front.

THURMOND: It came out
of an auction in a an area,

uh, out of Nashville,
Jolton, Tennessee.

FRANK: You know, I
gravitate toward a table

in the back there.

I mean, this thing is
hand carved, it's great.

MIKE: What is that, cherry wood?

THURMOND: I
believe it's mahogany.

FRANK: Cool. What'd you
get for somethin' like this?

THURMOND: I will take
one hundred dollars for it.

FRANK: When he said a
hundred dollars, I about flipped.

FRANK: Tell you
what, I'll take that.

THURMOND: Good deal.

FRANK: That's a good,
that's a cool lookin' piece.

MIKE: Frank didn't even work ya!

THURMOND: Didn't have to!

THURMOND: These guys
were a good opportunity for me

to sell some stuff that'd
been sitting for a while,

so now I can go buy again.

MIKE: So you've got
stuff in the other barn?

THURMOND: Oh yeah.

MIKE: Can we look at that?

THURMOND: Of course.

MIKE: Alright, we
wanna look at anything-

FRANK: And everything.

THURMOND:
Anything and everything.

You've gotta make
me some room, guys.

FRANK: Alright, that's cool.

THURMOND: So you
enjoyed that buildin', huh, guys?

FRANK: Yeah!

MIKE: Oh man, that's cool.

I can't believe you
just threw that up.

THURMOND: All salvage lumber.

MIKE: So you were green
before green was cool.

THURMOND: That's it.

MIKE: When we rolled
up on this barn, without that

glass block, I'd thought
it had been here forever.

MIKE: Think about the
work that goes into doing that.

He has to take something
down, transport it, and

then put it up again.

He's actually gotta go
through a whole process

before he puts it
up on his property.

Very cool hardworking guy,
the guy's got a great eye,

I'm excited to look around.

THURMOND: Come on guys,
I got the honey hole in the sky.

FRANK: I like
honey hole in the sky.

MIKE: I thought we were
the only ones that used

that term, Frankie!

MIKE: Ooh, cabinet.

FRANK: That's a big one.

THURMOND: That's a nice cabinet.

FRANK: That's a nice one.

MIKE: Oh yeah!

FRANK: Is that Mae West?

MIKE: Yeah, the base is broke
off, but she's beautiful, man.

MIKE: Look at this,
Black Cat sold here.

Remember those?

How many good times did we
have with Black Cat firecrackers?

MIKE: The name brand
firecracker that you

wanted when you were
a little kid and you wanted

to blow up your GI
Joes was Black Cat.

[♪]

MIKE: That is hot, what've you
gotta have for that, Thurmond?

THURMOND: 75.

MIKE: 75, hoo.

FRANK: He likes
wood, remember, Mike.

MIKE: Love wood.

MIKE: Fifty bucks.

THURMOND: Sixty.

MIKE: Sixty?

Alright, sixty bucks.

THURMOND: Deal.

MIKE: Alright, that's cool.

MIKE: No other brand could
do it like Black Cat could.

When I saw that sign, it
said Black Cat, it had the

big face on it.

Yeah, it's peelin', yeah, it's
crackin', but you know what?

It's got personality,
it's got age. It's so cool.

THURMOND: Watch
your head, guys, going up.

FRANK: I never have
to watch my head.

FRANK: So what've you
got goin' on up here, what's

this, just overload or-

THURMOND: Props-

MIKE: When we got to
the top, very cool, man, lots

of stuff stacked up, lots
of junk everywhere, lots

of dirt, lots of dust,
just the way we like it.

I look over the left, it's
like the lamp situation

over there, I look over
the right, and there's

some architectural stuff.

This guy's got tonnage.

MIKE: Oh yeah!

FRANK: That's for
fishin' poles, isn't it?

THURMOND: Yessir.

FRANK: It was a display
item that came from a

hardware store, and you
could snap your fishing

poles into it and it's
circular so you can spin

it to see the different items.

I mean, it's a great piece.

FRANK: Thumond, how much?

THURMOND: Twenty dollars.

FRANK: Twenty?

THURMOND: Okay, I'll do
you the same way I did Mike. 15.

FRANK: 15? I'm your man.

MIKE: You're gettin'
the first cousin price now.

FRANK: Thank you.

FRANK: People have
collections, fishin' pole stuff.

Everybody needs a rack.

HURMOND: Have you ever
seen an item like this one?

FRANK: What you got?

THURMOND: It's
for levelin' train tracks.

FRANK: As far as
the railroad tie leveler,

I'm not really sure
what that's worth.

That could go to a
cross collection of people.

People that collect
tools, people that collect

railroad stuff.

It's a great piece.

FRANK: That is awesome.

Set it on the side there
and you level it for the,

I dunno what those
are called, trusses?

THURMOND: Those are cross ties.

FRANK: Cross ties or somethin'?

THURMOND: Yeah.

FRANK: How much is it?

THURMOND: Forty.

FRANK: Forty bucks? Let me
think on this, this is pretty cool.

THURMOND: Ok.

MIKE: Ooh.

FRANK: What are
you findin', Mike?

MIKE: A plastic human skull.

THURMOND: I love
to see you guys diggin'.

FRANK: That's
what we love to do.

We wake up to dig.

MIKE: You know what, it
seems like when we're not

doin' it, we're
dreamin' about it.

You know what I'm talkin' about.

THURMOND: I know the feeling.

MIKE: Yeah, I know,
man. It's universal.

FRANK: Smoother.

FRANK: I found a sign
up there and it's a cigarette

sign made in the fifties.

FRANK: How much is this lady?

THURMOND: Fifty for her.

FRANK: Fifty?

THURMOND: Yeah.

[♪]

FRANK: Alright, Thurmond.

THURMOND: Yes sir, Frank.

FRANK: How about the
forty dollars on this, full price.

THURMOND: Ok.

FRANK: Thirty on the sign.

THURMOND: How
about 35 on the sign?

FRANK: I should've said
25, then you'd've went 30.

35 on the sign and
forty on this makes it 75?

THURMOND: Right on.

FRANK: Right on.

THURMOND: The business
is try to get it for the best

that you can, you know,
it's always that way, for

everyone in this business.

MIKE: So how did you get
into collectin', Thurmond,

like, what did you start,
what did you start buyin'?

THURMOND: I started buyin'
everything, like I say, I just-

MIKE: But how old were you
when you collected, though?

THURMOND: Started
collectin', I was young, you know.

I say it's kinda bred into
me, my mom was always-

MIKE: I was gonna ask
you if you had any influences.

Now, what did your mom collect?

THURMOND: Just
furniture, nice furniture.

MIKE: She loved furniture.

THURMOND: Mm-hmm.

MIKE: You still got
some family pieces?

THURMOND: Yeah.

MIKE: That's cool. I think a
lot of kids are like that now,

and then when they have
an influence like your mom,

you know, that kind
of maybe sparked it.

THURMOND: And I'm sleeping
in my great grandmother's bed.

MIKE: Are ya? Oh, that's wild.

She's not still
in there, is she?

THURMOND: Her spirit...

FRANK: Her spririt?

FRANK: You can just see the
gleam in his eye when he laughs.

I mean, he's got
that 'hahaha' laugh.

THURMOND: [laughing]

FRANK: I mean, he's just a
regular old guy, I mean, you

can see he's havin' just as
much fun as me and Mike are.

MIKE: So how long did it take
you to complete this house?

THURMOND: Myself and
three other guys, a year.

MIKE: So you guys were
hammerin' it out, man.

THURMOND: Hammerin' it out.

That's all I did for a year.

FRANK: I like the little
stained glass windows

you've incorporated in there.

THURMOND: Thank you.

MIKE: How many
square feet it is?

THURMOND: It's about
2,300 up and down.

MIKE: Oh, that's perfect, man.

You mind if we look around?

THURMOND: No, of course not.

Make yourself at home.

FRANK: Alright, we will.

MIKE: I like that.

FRANK: We've already
spent some money here,

I'm hopin' to buy somethin'
out of the house also.

MIKE: Oh yeah.

FRANK: Oh, this is nice

MIKE: This is cool.

THURMOND: Thank you, thank you.

MIKE: Right away
it's got a good vibe.

FRANK: You've got all
kinds of smalls and stuff here.

THURMOND: I love the smalls.

MIKE: This is cool, man.

THURMOND: Hopalong Cassidy.

I've had it since I was
probably nine years old.

FRANK: Oh, no kidding?

MIKE: Really?

FRANK: We've come to
the conclusion that, all the

time, when we go see
people and stuff, the

stuff they have in their
homes is usually what they

hold near and
dear to their heart,

and people love to
show their collections.

MIKE: Love these chalks, man.

You've got the Superman-

THURMOND: Three of 'em actually.

MIKE: You've got
three Supermans.

FRANK: Three
superman's, alright.

MIKE: Were these something
you would've won at a carnival?

THURMOND: Right.

[♪]

MIKE: Imagine winnin'
somethin' like that at a

carnival back in the day,
I mean that was actually

somethin' that was really cool.

THURMOND: I thought
this table that may be of

interest to y'all.

MIKE: Oh wow.
That's coin operated.

THURMOND: Coin operated.

MIKE: That's a pretty
big coin right there, isn't it?

What is that, a nickel?

FRANK: I know it's not
a pool table 'cause it's

got eight pockets.

MIKE: It's like a
little snooker table?

THURMOND: Quick game.

MIKE: Frank who?

THURMOND: Perfect. A hustler.

MIKE: Ooh, you're
definitely a no.

FRANK: I wanted to see
what the bumpers were like.

MIKE: You're no Paul Newman.

FRANK: It's a snooker
table, arcade game,

I mean, I have never seen
one of those, and I was

like, I am excited.

MIKE: What are you
thinkin' on something like

that, Thurmond, is that
somethin' you'd sell?

THURMOND: Yeah,
I'd sell it for, uh, 375.

FRANK: It's a cool piece.

FRANK: I thought the
price was decent right off the

bat, but I sure didn't
wanna show him my cards.

MIKE: Man, this
table's pretty cool.

This is a really
nice harvest table.

THURMOND: I always
heard a story about where this

table came out of.

MIKE: Where was that?

THURMOND: When was
in grammar school in an area

called Union
Hill, close to here.

MIKE: One of the cool
things about bein' a

picker is we get to
experience things first

hand and we have people
telling us amazing stories

all the time.

THURMOND: Now we
always heard that Jesse James

hung out in this
area, which he did in

White's Creek,
it's five miles away.

MIKE: Ok.

THURMOND: 'Cause two of
his gang was picked up there.

This table came out of
the house forty years later.

They hung out in this
house, they hid out there.

MIKE: This is pickin' folklore.

MIKE: Oh wow.

THURMOND: I can't prove that.

FRANK: So Jesse
James mighta sat-

THURMOND: Mighta
sat at this table.

MIKE: Alright Frank,
we gotta sit here then,

whaddaya say?

FRANK: Alright, get on in here.

MIKE: When we sat at the
kitchen table, that maybe

Frank James, Jesse James,
would've broke bread at,

that was so cool.

MIKE: So this is something
you've had for a long time.

THURMOND: I'd tell
you about 27 years.

FRANK: Jesse James mighta
hung out at that table and

me and Mike actually
get to sit down on it.

I'm gonna always believe
that it was a true story.

MIKE: What do you
think's cooler, Frankie, this

table or that one?

FRANK: I like the
pool table better.

This ain't for sale, the
pool table's for sale.

THURMOND: Jesse James
was the outlaw of outlaws,

you know, and I guess he
was one of my outlaw heroes.

FRANK: You know, the
more I was thinkin' about the

pool table down there,
where were we at on that?

THURMOND: I think I said 350.

FRANK: He put a price on
that, I'm gonna hit him up.

I know he wanted 350.

FRANK: How about 300?

THURMOND: How
about three and a quarter?

FRANK: What's
25 between friends?

THURMOND: Thank you.

FRANK: I would've paid
350, I was happy for 325.

THURMOND: I
love that pool table.

MIKE: Thurmond,
this thing's awesome.

FRANK: I bought the
miniature pool table,

I paid 325 for it.

I think I can at least
double my money on it.

MIKE: I bought the Black
Cat sign for 60 bucks.

I'm going to double
down and ask 120.

FRANK: This was from
when smokin' was cool.

FRANK: The sign that I
paid $35 for, I think $75.

MIKE: Thurmond, it was
our pleasure, man, thank you.

MIKE: It was really
amazing to meet him,

he had some great stories,
he had the look, I mean,

I'm talkin' serious Lonesome
Dove pick here, this was

off the charts!

THURMOND: See
you guys! Come back.

THURMOND: These
pickers were fantastic,

and they're always welcome here.

[♪]

MIKE: William Shatner
wants us to come over to

his new country home
so we can meet with him.

FRANK: I never watched
Star Trek, I'm gonna be

all honest with you.

MIKE: You didn't?

FRANK: Nuh-uh.

MIKE: Lt. Uhura?

FRANK: I don't even
know who that is.

MIKE: She was smokin' hot.

FRANK: Only person I know
is Captain Kirk and Spock.

MIKE: We've never been
to a high profile dude like

this before, I mean, he's
gonna be, like, wantin' us

to find somethin'
really cool, Frankie.

FRANK: William Shatner,
I mean, he's probably got

one of everything, doesn't he?

MIKE: They're lookin' for
somethin' out of this world.

FRANK: So we're gonna have
to go where no people have

gone before.

MIKE: Right now, we're
goin' where no pickers

have gone before.

MIKE: Be on your
best behavior dude.

MIKE: I cannot believe we're
going to meet Bill Shatner.

FRANK: I know. Make sure
you call him Mr. Shatner.

Not Bill.

MIKE: We're gonna
meet Captain Kirk.

MIKE: Hey, how are
you doin'. Mr. Shatner?

SHATNER: Bill.

MIKE: Oh, Bill,
nice to meet you.

SHATNER: Pleasure.
Frank, how are ya?

MIKE: This is one of those
moments in life that you

just wanna sop
up with a biscuit.

FRANK: I mean,
this takes the cake!

SHATNER: Have I
got a house for you.

Unfinished, unfurnished,
come on in, let me show you.

MIKE: So it's a clean slate?

SHATNER: A clean slate
needing your chalk marks.

MIKE: Bill recently bought
this house as a quaint

getaway country home.

MIKE: Oh, this is beautiful.

You're right, this
really is a clean slate.

SHATNER: Come on in here.

MIKE: Bill gave us the
grand tour of his house.

We saw the master bedroom-

FRANK: Oh wow,
this is beautiful.

MIKE: The kitchen, and the deck.

SHATNER: Come on out here.

FRANK: Oh man,
this is nice out here.

MIKE: Oh yeah, this is
the money shot. Right here.

SHATNER: There's
a creek down there.

MIKE: Ok. FRANK: Ok.

SHATNER: And a hundred
years ago, there was a

mill moved by the flowing
water down there, so what

would be great is an
antique millstone, on

which we would place it in
such a manner that people

would admire not only
the handiwork, but the

usefulness of grinding
corn in those days.

MIKE: They were so
interested in the property

that they were willing to
spend money to bring some

of these pieces
back to the property.

They wanted an
antique millstone.

MIKE: We're not cheesy,
man, we're not gonna throw

out stupid lines to Bill
like, hey, beam me up,

Scotty, I mean, we're
gonna be a little bit more

clever, you know, like hey,

I understand what
you're looking for.

You're looking for pieces
that are out of this world.

SHATNER: That's the
dumbest thing I ever-

[laughing]

SHATNER: I want
you to do this room.

FRANK: So Bill's
like any other guy.

He took us to the boss,
the one that's gonna make

the decisions, and
that was his wife.

MIKE: So nice to meet you.

LIZ: So nice to meet
you, welcome to our home!

MIKE: It's very beautiful.

SHATNER: Unfurnished
and unfinished.

MIKE: We finally got to
focus on one room, and

that room was
gonna be the office.

LIZ: And so this is our
equine, our horsey room.

SHATNER: We both have
been in the horse industry for

a good part of our
adult lives, and we have,

over the years, bred many
great horses, and we were

thinking the room would be a
place to have those mementos.

SHATNER: So we thought
this room would be her

office where she
designs pictures and, and

furnishings and stuff like that.

LIZ: If you could find a
trophy case or some kind

of interesting shelving,
um, that could help

display some of our picture
and trophies and ribbons.

MIKE: It was really cool
that she was telling us

exactly what she wanted
'cause that was big help for us.

MIKE: When we talk about
this trophy cabinet, are

you lookin' for something
maybe as a painted piece,

or do you want
natural woods in here?

LIZ: I think natural wood.

MIKE: When she said she
wanted the trophy cabinet,

I was like, ok, game on.

We could probably do that.

SHATNER: Maybe they could
find an antique desk and pie safe.

LIZ: I would love to have
equine hats and riding attire.

SHATNER: And old time pictures.

FRANK: They want horse
stuff, we want pictures,

we want desks.

There's a lotta stuff there.

LIZ: Like a coat rack or
a hat hanger, hat hanger!

SHATNER: A hat hanger!

FRANK: You know, right
now, me and Mike were

acting pretty cool, but, I
mean, they are bein' very

specific and the pressure's on.

LIZ: I would love to
have leather horses,

leather statues,
that kind of a thing.

MIKE: We're used to
picking items for people

here and there on request.

But the Shatners are
asking for a long list for

an entire room and
being very specific.

LIZ: I painted this to be
suede, all suede effect.

MIKE: Frankie and I have
found ourselves in a very

unusual situation.

I mean, the Shatners
think that we're designers.

I mean, come on. Me
and Frank? We're pickers.

LIZ: And I see this room,
since it's bringing nature in.

SHATNER: This room here...

LIZ: maybe bringing in
some old art that has to

do with sticks and
leaves and things like that.

MIKE: I think they
think we're designers.

FRANK: Beam us
out of here, Scotty.

MIKE: Well, I can tell
you that Frank and I will go

where no man has
gone before to find you-

SHATNER: I love that
line. Mark that down.

MIKE: Alright, we'll do it.

MIKE: This is a great
opportunity for us.

These guys are high
profile clients, man.

We do not wanna let them down.

SHATNER: Thank you so much.

MIKE: Alright, thank you
guys. We'll be in touch.

LIZ: You better go before
I give you a whole more

longer list.

MIKE: We've got a
pretty good list already.

LIZ: I know. Happy pickin'!

MIKE: Man, that was awesome.

That's Captain Kirk's dog!

FRANK: That's his dog even!

MIKE: My god, he
looks like Spock!

FRANK: He does!

MIKE: So this is a very
unusual situation for us.

We thought we were coming
down here to look at some

stuff, check out their
style, and see if we could

find them somethin'.

But that's not the case.

They actually want
us to decorate, like,

a room or somethin'!

FRANK: We can find
this stuff, but we can't put it

where it needs to be.

MIKE: Frank, let me
break the news for ya.

We're in over our head. Okay?

FRANK: I've been there
before, it's not a good place.

MIKE: I mean, basically,
our names are on the line,

you know what I'm sayin'?

FRANK: Mm-hmm.

MIKE: This guy knows
everybody in the world.

If he says that we
failed, we're crispy!

FRANK: I know.

MIKE: Turn us over, we're done.

FRANK: I know, I know.
What are you thinkin'?

MIKE: The only thing I can
think to do is call my friend Alex.

She owns a store in
Leiper's Fork, Tennessee

called Serenity Maison.

MIKE: She's queen decorator,
you know what I'm sayin'?

MIKE: She's the only one I know
that may be able to bail us out.

MIKE: Let's see if she can help,
man. This is gonna be rough.

[phone rings]

ALEX: Hello?

MIKE: Alex!

ALEX: Mike?

FRANK: Frank.

MIKE: This is Mike and Frank.

ALEX: Hi, how are ya?

MIKE: Good. We're doing
good, you know, we're, uh...

we've got a little bit
of a situation here.

Are you sittin' down?

ALEX: Yes.

MIKE: Can you hold onto
somethin', because basically,

Frank and I just left
William Shatner's house,

I know that's probably gonna be

the biggest shock for ya.

ALEX: That's sounds great.

MIKE: And he thinks that
Frank and I are decorators.

MIKE: We're not decorators.

MIKE: Yeah, they're
lookin' for maybe, like,

some vintage equestrian
stuff, you know, they

talked about ampin'
up the office a little bit.

ALEX: Okay. We'll take
the Shatners' items and

we'll mix them with
the picks that you find,

and I'll fill in the blanks.

FRANK: She's a designer,
she can finish the room.

All we can do is provide some
of the stuff that Lizzy wanted.

MIKE: Alex, I fear if we
don't get this job done in time,

the repercussions
might be more than

Frankie and I can bear.

FRANK: For sure.

ALEX: Stop bein'
knuckleheads, get me the

measurements and the pictures.

MIKE: We can move forward,
but we're gonna do it at

warp speed.

FRANKIE: And I don't
think we can ever stop

being knuckleheads.

ALEX: And really stop with
the Star Trek references.

MIKE: Alright, bye.

MIKE: This going to be
a challenge for us, but it's

one we're ready to tackle.

MIKE: Hey, who knows,
if we do a good job for

Captain Kirk, maybe
we'll get Spock too.

[laughs]

MIKE: We talked to
Danielle and caught her up

with what's going on
at the Shatner's house.

She's back at the shop
pulling together leads for us.

DANIELLE: Hi I'm
looking for Carol...

DANIELLE: So I'm workin'
trying to find these leads

for Shatner.

DANIELLE: Hi is this Norma?

DANIELLE: Hi.

DANIELLE: Hey, you don't
happen to have a pie safe, do you?

DANIELLE: I'm a
little bit overwhelmed.

DANIELLE: They hung up.

DANIELLE: Any really,
really cool furniture.

DANIELLE: My job
definitely gets more

difficult when I have
specific items to find.

DANIELLE: Alright, and
can you send me images?

DANIELLE: My plan is
to send the boys where no

picker has gone before.

And hope that they can
cling-o n to some really

great items.

MIKE: We can't pull
this Shatner project off

without Danielle.

She's really going to
have to step up her game

and pull out some killer leads.

[phone rings]

MIKE: Danielle. DANIELLE: Hey.

FRANK: What's, uh, the Shatner-

MIKE: Situation!

DANIELLE: I have been
searching high and low for

the best millstone
collection out there and

I think I have somethin'.

MIKE: You actually found a
guy that collect millstones?

DANIELLE: Yeah. There is a
gentleman named Jim Wells,

and his grandfather actually
started a mill around the

turn of the century.

Now when Jim was a
kid, his dad used to run the

mill and he worked there.

MIKE: Oh, okay, this
guy's got some history with,

with the millstones.

DANIELLE: He said
he started collecting

millstones like ten
years ago, uh, just kind of

found one in a yard and
just kept going with it.

FRANK: Wow, so I mean he...

MIKE: He bumped into
it with his lawnmower?

FRANK: How many millstones
does this Jim guy got?

DANIELLE: He's got
over forty millstones now

FRANK: He's got forty?

MIKE: Damn!

FRANK: Oh my
god, well that's great.

MIKE: Hopefully he's not
too emotionally attached

to his stones.

FRANK: If he's got forty,
I'm sure that he'll, uh,

he'll let go of some.

MIKE: Alright girl, hey,
you put us in the right

place, thank you.

We're gonna head on over
and look at Jim's stones.

DANIELLE: Alright, bye.

FRANK: Alrighty.

[♪]

MIKE: I don't even know how
we're gonna move these things.

You ever seen a gristmill stone?

FRANK: They're huge,
they're, like, half the

size of this truck, aren't they?

MIKE: I know. But you know what?

I mean, we gotta find
the right stuff for Shatner.

I told him that you and I
would find something out

of this world.

FRANK: Right. We gotta find it.

MIKE: They better be
out of this world, dude.

FRANK: There it is right there.

There it is, dude, 'cause
look at all the gristmills.

MIKE: There it is.

MIKE: So we pull
into Jim's property, and

basically, Jim's got
Stonehenge here.

[♪]

JIM: Hello!

MIKE: Hey Jim,
how are you doin'?

JIM: Pretty good,
how are you guys?

FRANK: Doin' good.

MIKE: We're doin' good,
man. It's beautiful up here.

JIM: Jim Wells.

MIKE: Nice to
meet you, I'm Mike.

FRANK: I'm Frank.

JIM: Nice to meet you, Frank.

FRANK: Nice to meet you.
We knew this was the place,

we could see all
the stones out here.

JOE: Yeah, they're
kind of hard to miss.

FRANK: Got that right.

MIKE: Uh, Danielle talked
to you on the phone and

she kinda filled you
in a little bit about we're

lookin' for a
stone for a client?

JOE: Right, she did.

MIKE: I hope she
filled you in a little bit too

that we're not versed
in these things at all.

JIM: Well, yeah...

MIKE: So we're hopin'
to get a little history

lesson a little bit too.

FRANK: Yeah, we need a
little education on it, you know?

JOE: Okay, I'll fill
you in a little bit.

JOE: Millstones have been
in use for centuries as a

way of grinding grain
into a food staple.

FRANK: What powers these?

I mean, is it water,
is it horse drawn?

JOE: Water mostly.
With water wheels.

[♪]

JOE: As this turned, the
grain would be ground in

these furrows and then
it would filter out to the

outer edge of the stone.

It would have a box
here to catch it in.

FRANK: You can do,
like, wheat, grain, corn?

JOE: Most different
types of grain.

FRANK: Okay.

MIKE: What's goin' on
with these right here?

JOE: Well, these are
just single stones that I've

gathered up over the years
from different locations.

I get 'em from all over
Tennessee and North

Carolina and Virginia.

MIKE: So how did you
start collecting these?

JOE: Well, uh, years ago,
my dad had a big gristmill.

Me and my brother, we grew
up working and helpin' him

when we were kids.

Then I got interested
in the, in the stones by

findin' them out in the
country, you know, and

just one thing led to another.

Pretty soon, I had
a collection of 'em.

FRANK: You know, Jim's
got a heavy hobby here.

Some of these stones, they
can weigh up to 1,000 pounds.

He has to hire people with
heavy equipment to be able

to get 'em here.

MIKE: Jim, I noticed this
one's made like in pieces.

That one looks like that's
all made in pieces too.

JOE: Yeah. As a matter
of fact, that's, uh, the link

to this one, and these
actually came from France.

FRANK: Wow.

JOE: They call
this a French burr.

MIKE: Jim is the
Wikipedia of grist stones.

MIKE: If you've got some
time, I'd love to look at

these other ones outside.

JIM: Ok, sure.

MIKE: And then when we
walked outside and there

was, like ten of
'em layin' there!?

I was like, okay game on.

There's gotta be one here
that we can find for this

client that's going to
fall in love with it just

as much as we are.

[♪]

MIKE: Now, somethin'
like this, how much does a

stone like this weight?

JOE: Well, that one right
there, I'm guessin' right

close to 2000 pounds.

FRANK: That's a ton.

MIKE: Damn.

FRANK: That's a lot, yeah.

MIKE: How about
somethin' smaller, like that?

JOE: That one probably
weighs a thousand.

MIKE: Woo! Frankie, I like
some of these ones with the

metal bands on it, just
because there's a couple

different textures there.

MIKE: So most people,
when you roll up on 'em and

you're lookin' at
somethin' like this, do

they know what it is?

JOE: Oh yeah.

MIKE: They don't
think it's, like, a

Fred Flintstone car
wheel or anything?

JOE: No. No. Unfortunately not.

MIKE: Jim knew the history
of every single stone that

he's got here.

Where it came from, the
mill it came out of, maybe

some family history on
the piece, and right then and

there, I think Frankie and
I both knew that it wasn't

gonna be easy to deal
with him on price because he

loves these things so much.

FRANK: Jim, how
much is this one?

JIM: One like this? Well,

I couldn't go any
less than 25 on it.

MIKE: Well, we appreciate
you lettin' us look around.

I mean, you know, there's
a lotta different stones

here, I can see a
lotta different textures,

a lotta different sizes.

You're at 25
hundred on this stone.

You're gonna have to
bend a little bit, I mean, what

can you do for me on that?

JIM: Well actually, uh, to
be frank about it, uh, the

stones are actually
worth more than that.

I'm kind of givin' you
guys a little break on that.

MIKE: With Shatner,
obviously, the galaxy's the limit,

but we're still gonna try to
talk the guy down for 'em.

MIKE: 23 hundred bucks!

JIM: Nah, I can't bend.

FRANK: In our job,
we have to always try to

get the best price.

FRANK: How about 24 hundred?

JIM: I'm pretty firm on it.

I ain't gonna go in less,
much as I'm givin' you a

break the way it is.

JIM: Nah, nah, I'm firm on 25,
that's about the best I can do.

FRANK: Jim had one
price, and that was 2,500.

Just to get him to
budge is about as easy as

gettin' one of those
stones to budge.

MIKE: Alright, we'll
have it your way, 2475.

JIM: [laughing]

MIKE: Basically, I was
punchin' a wall, I was

punchin' a stone wall.

There was nothin' there,
there was nobody givin'.

JIM: I'm givin' you
a break on that,

so I couldn't go any
less than 25 on it.

They go for 35 hundred.

MIKE: Really?

FRANK: In the right
market, that's where,

that's where it'd be?

JIM: Right. Right. It's
findin' the right market.

MIKE: Right then and there I
was like, what am I thinking.

I had no idea what an amazing
deal you were givin' me, Jim.

I'll be glad to give
you 25 hundred dollars.

JIM: 25

FRANK: 25 hundred, I'll step up.

JIM: Okay, alright, thank you.

MIKE: Alright. 25
hundred. Alright, Frankie.

We're the proud owner
of a gristmill stone.

JIM: Alright, that's out first.

MIKE: Alright, let's see
if we can figure out how

to get it out of here.

MIKE: When I paid 25
hundred dollars for the

stone, I'm thinking, okay
Shatner, you owe me.

Where's Lt. Uhura, she's
gonna help me load this thing.

FRANK: The grist stone is
very, very heavy, so we're

gonna have to make some
arrangements for somebody

to pick it up and
deliver it to the Shatners.

MIKE: Basically, we
didn't know anything about

gristmill stones, now
we know everything,

and we're glad you're
the guy who taught us.

FRANK: What we could
remember will be about that much.

FRANK: Danielle did
a great job this time.

She found us Jim,
the grist stone was just

absolutely beautiful,
and I think Bill is gonna

really love it.

FRANK: See you Jim!

MIKE: While we're out
here on the road, Danielle's

been kicking it into
high gear at the shop.

She's been pulling
together leads for all the

specific items that we
need for the Shatners.

FRANK: We got plenty
of ground to cover.

Me, Mike & Danielle have
to kick it in to warp speed.

DANIELLE: Hi, is this Thomas?

I have a client that has
some specialized requests.

MIKE: Obviously it's
harder to pick to order.

I mean, people
say, you know what?

I'd like to have
a trophy cabinet.

First thing I say is well,
you want fries with that?

I mean, come on,
this isn't fast food.

We have to go out
and find the stuff.

It's not that easy, man.

DANIELLE: I'm lookin'
for leather furniture.

DANIELLE: Side tables, desks.

Hat stands, pie safe?

MIKE: A pie safe is a
primitive piece that was

used to store baked goods
and other prepared foods.

But right now people
are using 'em for furniture.

It's a great idea, but I
don't know if we're going

to be able to find
one and pull this off.

DANIELLE: Where
does one find a pie safe?

MIKE: We spent the entire
summer picking tons of places

and the whole time, I had
Shatner's project on my mind.

MIKE: Hey, how you doin'?

We were drivin' by and
saw your garage sign.

MIKE: I'm serious about
growing a pair of those

Spock ears, man.

Imagine how much those
Spock ears must be worth.

FRANK: Oh man.

MIKE: An original
pair of Spock ears.

FRANK: I think just a
couple pictures with him,

have him sign a couple
things for me, I'd be cool.

DANIELLE: Hi!

DANIELLE: Hello!

DANIELLE: Hi
Norma, this is Danielle.

DANIELLE: Anything
equestrian related?

DANIELLE: Oh, that sounds
really good, like a trophy

cabinet kind of a thing.

DANIELLE: You don't happen
to have a pie safe, do you?

MIKE: Beam me up, Frankie.

FRANK: Alright, Scotty.

DANIELLE: When do you think
you might be able to get that to me?

DANIELLE: Do you think you
could do it sooner than that?

DANIELLE: Thank you
Jerry, you're a life saver.

MIKE: Can we look
around a little bit?

JACK: Certainly. Come on in.

FRANK: Wow. You
got a lot to look at here.

MIKE: You never actually
know someone's taste until

they spell it out for you.

And for us the stakes
are even higher this time

because this is our
first celebrity client.

And the heat is on.

FRANK: That's kind of neat.

MIKE: How about this
light right here, Jack?

MIKE: Holy moley.

FRANK: Neat piece.

FRANK: Ah, this is cool.

FRANK: I found
the chair for Shatner.

I think this is gonna
go with his motif.

He wants the weathered
look and I think it'd be

great for his study.

[♪]

MIKE: I think William
Shatner could kick your ass.

FRANK: You know what,
he's kind of stocky, but

I think he's slow.

MIKE: Well, yeah,
he's eighty years old!

FRANK: I know, well, I,
I think I could take him.

I could take him.

MIKE: I don't
think you can, man.

He'd be choking you until
your Spock ears fell off.

[♪]

MIKE: This is cool.

FRANK: The only time
I've ever seen Mike this

focused is when
he's eatin' hot dogs.

MIKE: This is a
Shatner situation!

FRANK: This garbage
can that I found in Kentucky

was once a storage
container for ball bearings.

It has some nice New
Orleans graphics on the side.

I mean, this is my
personal touch, I'm really

proud of this piece.

MIKE: That's cool.

[♪]

DANIELLE: This is Danielle
from Antique Archeology.

Do you by any chance
have a pie safe?

Awesome! Thank you very much.

DANIELLE: I
got it. It's on lock.

MIKE: Incredible.

MIKE: Frankie! Look at this.

FRANK: Oh yeah!

MIKE: Oh yeah. This is killer.

MIKE: God, I hope
Shatner likes this thing.

FRANK: He better like it.

I mean, we had to bust
ass to get that for him.

MIKE: We found some
excellent treasures,

I hope they'll love as
much as we did finding 'em.

MIKE: We're finally on
out way back to Shatner's to

meet up with my
designer friend Alex.

Hopefully Alex likes
the stuff that Frankie and

I picked thanks
to Danielle's leads.

Then we'll be able to
transform the Shatner's

office from bare bones
to out of this world.

MIKE: Yeah, I'm nervous, man.

I mean, if he doesn't like this.

MIKE: These guys are
high profile clients, man,

we do not wanna let them down.

FRANK: I think
Shatner's gonna go crazy.

MIKE: I think, well,
the biggest thing is-

FRANK: Is if his wife
likes it, because, you

know, if momma ain't
happy, no one's happy.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

MIKE: Alright, I
see Alex is there.

She's actin' all cool
in her ride there.

MIKE: Hey man!

ALEX: You're late!
You should be fired.

MIKE: Hopefully our
picking abilities outweigh

our tardiness.

So hopefully you
like what we brought.

ALEX: I'm excited.

FRANK: We're proud of it.

ALEX: Let's take a look.

ALEX: Mike reached out
to me because he's not

a decorator, and um, I
bought picks from him for

years, and he finds
some of the greatest things

that I incorporate
in my own design.

FRANK: Here it is.

MIKE: Look at this coat
rack. Look at this bad boy

ALEX: Oh, it's perfect.

MIKE: Frankie found this chair.

ALEX: It's gonna work
great. Like the table we found.

MIKE: Yeah. This is the
thing he's most proud of.

ALEX: Which is for a hundred
pounds of ball bearings.

MIKE: Mm hmm. [laughing]

FRANK: Mm-hmm. Look at these!

ALEX: Oh, hat stands!

MIKE: Can you
believe we found those?

ALEX: They're awesome.

MIKE: I know. These were
the hardest thing to find,

to be perfectly honest with you.

FRANK: And ready? ALEX: Yes.

FRANK: You ready?

MIKE: Alright. Wa!

FRANK: Wa!

ALEX: Oh, those are great, 1954.

MIKE: Yeah, those are old, man.

MIKE: Okay, here's
the weirdest thing.

Now Alex, you come on down.

I know you're good at
what you do, but remember,

me and Frankie are
good at what we do too.

We found the pie safe.

MIKE: This is one of my
favorite pieces that we found.

ALEX: Oh, beautiful.

It's great, it'll go right behind
the desk with your chair.

Perfect. You guys did great.

I'm really excited
with this look.

FRANK: We've done our job
and now it's time for Alex to

take over the captain's
chair and bring it all together.

MIKE: Oh my god, I think
I grabbed the heavy one.

MIKE: We're going to
keep the Shatner's away

while we do all
the heavy lifting.

MIKE: I don't know if
I like workin' for Alex.

ALEX: Stop whining.
There's no whining in design.

ALEX: So what we need
to do is get the items in

there, get the pictures
on the wall, and then when

we're done, we're gonna
go get the Shatners and

do the big reveal.

MIKE: You ready?

ALEX: You break it, you buy it.

MIKE: 1, 2, 3. Where's it goin'?

ALEX: Keep comin'...

right there.

Back a little bit.

MIKE: Back a little bit, Frank.

ALEX: And down.

MIKE: Whoa.

Frank, don't scratch the walls.

This is William
Shatner's house, dude!

ALEX: He's hitting the wall.

FRANK: There you are.

MIKE: Oh! Oh!

MIKE: Alex has been
bossin' us around, I mean,

she's queen bee.

Me and little Frankie are
the, you know, worker bees.

ALEX: You can go
right against that wall.

FRANK: Alright, come
on. Okay, I'm jammed up.

MIKE: What do you think, Alex?

ALEX: Looks good.

MIKE: That's what I'm thinkin'.

ALEX: After the boys
settled the big items into

the room, it was kind
of time for me to just be

with the Shatners'
trophies and memorabilia

and mix it with the picks
from Mike and Frank and

then I would fill in the blanks.

[♪]

FRANK: While we've got
a little bit of time, me and

Mike are gonna do some
manly stuff outside here.

[♪]

MIKE: There you go!

FRANK: We got this
amazing millstone.

We're gonna put it out
there for Shatner, I know

he's gonna love it.

MIKE: There you go.

MIKE: Alex was
inside doin' all her little

decorator stuff, you know,
hangin' everything, doin'

all the things she loves to do.

But me and Frankie, we
wanna get down and dirty

and we're gonna get
this gristmill in the ground.

MIKE: Come on in, brother.

[♪]

MIKE: There you
go. Wait a second.

[♪]

ALEX: I think the Shatners
are gonna be thrilled, I really do.

MIKE: How long have
you been drivin' Bobcats?

FRANK: About 15 minutes.

MIKE: You kiddin'!

MIKE: After all the
picking and installing,

now it's the moment of truth.

This is our first
celebrity client and the

pressure to please is on.

MIKE: The first thing that
we decided to show the

Shatners was the
millstone in the yard.

MIKE: We promised
some man stuff.

ALEX: It's a manly moment.

MIKE: They said they
wanted to incorporate the

history of the property
in the design, and I think

the millstone was the
perfect place to start.

FRANK: I mean, I'm feelin'
kind of nervous here, this

is William Shatner, and I
do not wanna let him down.

Shatner's home, you
know, we all have a lot riding

on the Shatner's reaction.

MIKE: This is it,
the gristmill stone!

LIZ: Beautiful.

SHATNER: Look at that!

FRANK: That didn't
happen overnight now.

LIZ: Wow.

SHATNER: It's fantastic.

MIKE: The guy we
got this stone from, Bill,

he was a guy that actually
collected gristmill stones,

he said that a lot of
the guys that cut the

patterns, here, they
actually patent that stuff.

LIZ: You're kidding.

MIKE: So he said people
that are really versed in

this can actually look at
the pattern here and tell

you who made this stone.

SHATNER: Really? MIKE: Yeah.

[♪]

MIKE: What he said too
that I thought was really

interesting was a lot of
this stone came over from

Europe back then.

LIZ: Oh really?

SHATNER: Really?

FRANK: We just
thought this one had the

character, it had the design.

LIZ: It's a piece of art.

SHATNER: Exactly,
this is the signature piece.

SHATNER: The
millstone was genius.

The millstone, first of
all, was made by artisans

whose work resulted in
people eating, and then

it's antiquity, it's
the way people lived.

FRANK: So I mean, it's
got a lotta history here.

It's nice that you guys
are preserving, like,

a piece of it.

SHATNER: We're
endowing it with our essence.

[laughter]

FRANK: Now you
are. Alright, let's hit it.

MIKE: Let's do it.

MIKE: I don't wanna
be around Lizzy when

she doesn't get what she wants.

When momma ain't happy,
nobody's happy, even in

Captain Kirk's world.

MIKE: Alright guys...

FRANK: This is it.

MIKE: Are you ready?

LIZ: Oh my gosh.

MIKE: What do you think?

LIZ: I love it.

[♪]

I am just, I have
chill bumps all over.

ALEX: Oh good, that's great.

LIZ: And just all the
things you've taken, like,

it says it all!

LIZ: It's inspired.

SHATNER: The
room invites you in.

ALEX: The boys said
those ribbons down here...

LIZ: Yeah, where are
those ribbons from?

ALEX: Ribbons
here from the fifties.

LIZ: Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh!

That is Lexington Junior
League horse Show.

Oh Lordy.

FRANK: And they're made in 1969

LIZ: Oh my god.

MIKE: We found those
ribbons in Kentucky,

and when they caught
my eye, I snapped 'em up.

FRANK: And they're made
where, they're produced in

a little town right
where we live in.

LIZ: So this is a touch
that is so incredible.

MIKE: Seeing Lizzie light
up when she saw those

antique horse
ribbons was really cool.

SHATNER: Show me the pie safe.

ALEX: I'm lovin' the pie safe.

FRANK: I'm pretty
excited about it.

LIZ: Oh my gosh, look at that!

I love it, is that the coolest
thing you've ever seen?

FRANK: They were really
excited me and Mike were

able to find a pie safe.

I mean, it's gonna
serve just like a cabinet.

FRANK: Now it's going
to be a place you guys can

put your paperwork
in, I mean, you know,

it's just vintage, I mean-

SHATNER: It's brilliant.

LIZ: I love it. I
absolutely love it.

SHATNER: And think of all
the hands that opened this

to get a pie.

SHATNER: Somebody, years
ago, has touched it, loved it,

lived it, and for
some reason it's been

discarded, and now
we've rediscovered it.

And then it's there in its
original beauty or even

better than its original
beauty, 'cause it now has

a patina of age.

LIZ: And then bringing
it back into something

modern, which
the hats represent.

We still are using those
today, yet they could've

been from a hundred years ago.

I love them.

MIKE: What was great
for Frank and I, was,

to actually see some
of our picks in motion.

Because what happens a
lot of times is we find these

great things and we
never know where they go,

so for us, this
moment was incredible.

MIKE: Frankie found that chair.

ALEX I loved the
reaction to the room.

It was just really, uh,
moving to see our clients

happy and the guys just
did a great job with the

picks and it all came together.

MIKE: We had to bring
somethin' rusty and metal in here.

LIZ: I love it!

MIKE: We had to get
our signature on here.

LIZ: But it's an old
thermometer, right?

MIKE: Yeah. So imagine
this was at an old general store

or maybe in a tavern
back in the day?

ALEX: Let us not
forget the garbage can.

MIKE: Yeah, Frankie's
garbage can, he was pretty

proud of this piece, Bill.

SHATNER: Oh.

MIKE: It's says New
Orleans on it, it's wood.

SHATNER: It's beautiful.

MIKE: Whenever you look
at the garbage, think of Frank.

FRANK: Don't associate
me with garbage.

SHATNER: [laughing]

SHATNER: I was deeply
impressed by the care to detail.

I was just knocked out.

LIZ: The way they
incorporated everything,

the history of the
horses, our special pieces.

SHATNER: You guys have
done an incredible job in

making a room for us that
we will treasure forever.

SHATNER: It's a place
you wanna go and sit down

and read and
look at the outside.

LIZ: And it'll be the perfect
place for me to do work.

MIKE: It was a hell
of an experience, man,

very nice to meet you.

SHATNER: Yes.

MIKE: It was a really
cool experience, not to just

seeing our stuff polished
up in a room, but actually

bein' able to participate
in it, it was incredible.

LIZ: Bye.

ALEX: The problem is, now
you gotta do the rest of the house

MIKE: This just proves,
if you put the right picker

and the right decorator
together, you can do

things that are
out of this world.

FRANK: See you Bill!

LIZ: Thank you again!
Y'all come back now!

SHATNER: Not too soon, though.

LIZ: [laughs] I'm
sad to see 'em go.

SHATNER: I love the
millstone. It's fantastic.

SHATNER: The pie safe. It
means you're gonna have to cook.

SHATNER: I'll walk
into the office and say,

'Lemon Meringue, please.'

LIZ: Wouldn't that be nice?

That's a great fantasy.

[laughing]

MIKE: We had a great
time with the Shatners,

who knows, I mean, me
and Frankie might be invited

to the Christmas party now.

FRANK: Hey Scotty,
what's wrong with the van?

MIKE: I'm givin' it
all she's got, captain.

I think she's gonna blow!

[laughter]
