Oddities (2010–…): Season 3, Episode 19 - Keeping Austin Odd - full transcript

THE WEIRD WORLD OF "ODDITIES."

I'M LOOKING FOR A DEATH MASK.

OH.

IT'S PART OF A LIFE-SIZED WAX
FIGURE OF A DEBAUCHED QUEEN.

THAT'S GRIM.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE
WHAT THE HELL IT IS.

PERHAPS I SHOULD UNRAVEL IT.

PLEASE DO.

I HAVE ONE OF THESE.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO
IDEA WHAT THIS THING IS.

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.



OKAY.

I GOT SOMETHING SCARY.

OH, WOW!

IT'S PRETTY HORRIBLE STUFF.

OBSCURA AIN'T YOUR
GRANDMOTHER'S ANTIQUE SHOP.

WHOA!

WELL, UNLESS YOUR GRANDMA'S
A BIT OF A KOOK.

IS THAT A STRAITJACKET?

I'M MIKE.

AND I'M EVAN.

Both:

WE'VE SPENT OUR ENTIRE LIVES... COLLECTING
AND DEALING... HUNTING AND PICKING...

TO GET THIS BUSINESS...
DOWN TO A SCIENCE.

THIS IS "ODDITIES."



HELLO.

HEY. HOW YOU DOING?

LET ME KNOW IF YOU
NEED ANYTHING.

SURE.

AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MINE PASSED AWAY, AND
I ODDLY ENOUGH INHERITED THE CONTENTS

OF HIS STORAGE SPACE.

AND THIS WAS SOMETHING
THAT WAS IN IT.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE
WHAT THE HELL IT IS.

PERHAPS I SHOULD UNRAVEL IT.

PLEASE DO.

ALL RIGHT.

HMM.

I HAVE ONE OF THESE.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO
IDEA WHAT THIS THING IS.

YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW I FELT
WHEN I INHERITED THIS THING.

Baron:

MY NAME IS BARON MISURACA.

I HAVE A VERY STRANGE ITEM HERE I'M
LOOKING TO FIND OUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT,

SEE WHAT IT'S WORTH.

THIS ALMOST LOOKS LIKE
IT GOES ON YOUR HEAD.

BUT THEN AGAIN, IT'S 15 POUNDS.

YEAH.

SO MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS
MEANT TO PUT ON SOMEONE'S HEAD

THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO
HAVE PUT ON THEIR HEAD.

I'M LEANING TOWARDS TORTURE DEVICE
AT THIS POINT, TO BE HONEST.

YEAH, IT DOES HAVE A TORTURE
VIBE TO IT FOR SURE.

I WOULDN'T WANT THAT
TO GO ON MY HEAD.

ME, EITHER.

I WANT TO KEEP MY
HAIR LOOKING GOOD.

YEAH, YOU HAVE REALLY
LONG HAIR, MAN.

IT'S BEEN 25 YEARS
SINCE I GOT A HAIRCUT.

I HATE THOSE HAIRCUTTING PLACES.

LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME
KIND OF MAKER'S MARK HERE.

IT'S REALLY FAINT, THOUGH.

YEAH. YEAH.

HERE, COULD YOU ACTUALLY
HOLD THAT FOR A LITTLE BIT?

I WANTED TO SEE WHAT
THESE THINGS SAID.

OF COURSE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS PATENTED, BUT IT
COULD POSSIBLY JUST BE FOR THIS PIECE.

BUT THIS DOES SAY "MECO-SAZH."

MAYBE IT WAS A MILITARY
PIECE OR SOMETHING?

YEAH, I MEAN, I
REALLY DO LIKE IT.

IT'S JUST BIZARRE-LOOKING.

THERE'S SOMETHING RATHER
SADISTIC ABOUT THE LOOK OF THIS.

VERY MUCH SO.

HOWEVER, I JUST DON'T
KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT.

IF IT IS MEDICAL, IT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE'D DEFINITELY BE INTERESTED IN.

SO THERE'S A GUY THAT I COULD PROBABLY PUT
A CALL IN TO WHO DEALS WITH SCIENTIFIC

AND MORE MECHANICAL STUFF.

I COULD GIVE HIM A CALL AND SEE WHAT
HE SAYS AND HAVE YOU COME BACK.

THANKS, MAN.

ALL RIGHTY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

SEE YOU LATER.

HELLO.

HI. HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS...
FEEL FREE TO ASK.

I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING
FOR SOME BIRD PARTS.

WHAT KIND OF PARTS EXACTLY
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

I DON'T KNOW... SKELETAL PARTS OR FEATHERS
OR AN ACTUAL STUDY SKIN OF A BIRD.

I'M SIGRID.

I'M HERE TO PICK UP SOME LITTLE ODD
THINGS TO PUT IN MY INSTALLATIONS.

I DO WAX WORKS, AND I LIKE TO
INCORPORATE MANY DIFFERENT OBJECTS

WITHIN THE PIECES THAT I MAKE.

ANY SPECIFIC KIND OF BIRD?

MAYBE A SCAVENGER
OR A BIRD OF PREY?

WE DO HAVE ONE SKULL IN THE CASE
HERE, IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT.

OH, I'D LOVE TO SEE IT.

ABSOLUTELY.

THIS THING.

THIS THING JUST CAME IN.

IT'S ACTUALLY AN AFRICAN VULTURE,
WHICH, YOU KNOW, IS A SCAVENGER.

AND ALSO, THIS BIRD IN AFRICA...
IT'S NOT ENDANGERED.

THEIR NUMBERS ARE VERY STRONG.

THEY'RE NOT REGULATED
IN ANY WAY.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

YOU KNOW, A VULTURE SYMBOLIZES
EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

SO WHY THE SCAVENGER HEAD?

IT'S PART OF A HEADDRESS FOR A LIFE-SIZE
WAX FIGURE OF A DEBAUCHED QUEEN.

MAKES SENSE.

YEAH, DOESN'T IT, THOUGH?

I REFUSE TO LET GO OF THIS.

I'M PETTING IT.

HOW MUCH YOU ASKING?

WE'RE ASKING $200

FOR THAT PARTICULAR SKULL.

THAT'S FINE. YEAH.

THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE.

OH!

I'M ALSO LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU MUST COME ACROSS
THEM ONCE IN A WHILE.

I'M LOOKING FOR A DEATH MASK.

DOES THAT HAVE TO BE A DEBAUCHED QUEEN'S
DEATH MASK, OR IS THAT... NO, IT'S OKAY.

BEFORE THE ADVENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY, POETS,
AND PHILOSOPHERS WERE USED TO MAKE

SCULPTED PORTRAITS ALL THE
WAY BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPT.

AND BEFORE THE WIDESPREAD USE OF EMBALMING
AND REFRIGERATION, CASTS WERE USED

SO THAT LOVED ONES COULD
IDENTIFY A MISSING PERSON.

I'M WORKING ON SOME
PIECES ABOUT DEATH.

I'M INTERESTED IN SEEING OTHER
WORKS, YOU KNOW, FOR A REFERENCE,

'CAUSE I'M NOT CASTING
OFF OF A DEAD PERSON.

I CAST OFF OF LIVE PEOPLE.

I GUESS YOU CAN'T REALLY DO A
LIVE CAST AND SAY, "ACT DEAD."

THERE'S A LACK OF ESSENCE
IN A DEATH MASK.

THE EYES ARE MORE HOLLOWED-OUT.

THE CHEEKS SEEM TO
BE MORE SUNKEN.

THEY JUST LACK ANIMATION.

SO WHAT KIND OF BUDGET ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR FOR THIS DEATH MASK?

I'M LOOKING BETWEEN
$700 AND $900.

THEY'RE PRETTY HARD TO FIND,
OR THEY'RE GLUED TOGETHER.

RIGHT.

THEY'RE KIND OF STRANGE.

THEY AGE.

THEY TURN COLOR.

SO ACTUALLY, IT'S SOMETHING
WE DON'T HAVE VERY OFTEN.

BUT WE KNOW SOMEONE WHO
ACTUALLY COLLECTS MASKS.

HE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING.

WOULD YOU BE KIND
ENOUGH TO ASK HIM?

OKAY, SO $200 FOR THAT, AND
WE'LL FIND YOU A DEATH MASK.

FANTASTIC.

YOU GOT A DEAL.

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A DEATH
MASK, RIGHT OVER HERE.

A DEATH MASK OF A
TWO-HEADED BABY.

OH, THAT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE
TOO MUCH INSPIRATION.

OKAY.

Mike:

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

THE OTHER DAY, A CUSTOMER CAME INTO THE
SHOP WITH A CRAZY, SADISTIC-LOOKING DEVICE,

BUT I THINK IT WOULD FIT IN
WITH THE AESTHETIC OF OBSCURA.

SO I CALLED UP A COLLECTOR FRIEND OF THE
SHOP'S WHO DEALS WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF

TO SEE IF MAYBE HE KNOWS WHAT IT
IS AND WHAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH.

HEY.

HOW'S IT GOING, MAN?

GOOD.

I HAVE RETURNED.

THIS IS MY FRIEND STEVE I
WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.

PLEASURE.

Steve:

I'M STEVE ARENBURG.

I SPECIALIZE IN MEDICAL... SCIENTIFIC
CONTRAPTIONS, MEDICAL DEVICES...

ALL SORTS OF ODDBALL ITEMS.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?

DO YOU MIND?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HECK IT IS?

I DO. IT'S A POWER
TOOL FOR YOUR HEAD.

BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A MECO-SAZH,
AND IT'S A VERY PLEASANT DEVICE.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
IT'S VERY PLEASANT.

NO, IT'S A BALDNESS CURE.

YOU WOULD PUT IT ON THE HEAD,
PLUG IT IN, AND TURN IT ON.

ISN'T IT KIND OF HEAVY FOR...
IT IS.

SOME OF THESE HAD LOOPS ON THE TOP
THAT THEY WOULD HANG FROM THE CEILING.

A BARBER WOULD CHARGE FOR IT.

SHOULD WE JUST TRY
TO PLUG IT IN?

LET'S DO IT.

OKAY.

I'M DEFINITELY NOT
TRYING IT, THOUGHT.

YOU WANT TO TRY IT, STEVE?

SURE.

I'LL TRY "SLOW."

IT SEEMS LIKE HE LIKES IT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE
THAT MUCH HAIR, STEVE.

I'M WAITING FOR IT TO GROW.

I THINK I CAN FEEL IT...
OH, LOOK!

SEE, IT GROWS UPWARD.

YOU'VE DEALT WITH
THESE IN THE PAST.

YOU'VE AT LEAST SEEN THEM.

I'VE SEEN THREE OF
THEM IN 30 YEARS.

WHAT DO THEY GENERALLY SELL FOR?

ON A GOOD DAY AT AN AUCTION WITH THE RIGHT
PEOPLE, IT COULD BE UPWARDS OF $3,000.

REALLY? WHEW!

THAT'S AMAZING.

STEVE, ALWAYS A PLEASURE
TO HAVE YOU IN HERE, MAN.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS.

YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

BYE, NOW.

IF I SAW THIS AT A MARKET, AND
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS,

I MIGHT BE WILLING TO SPEND
RIGHT AROUND $1,500.

$1,500.

YEAH, I MEAN, THAT'S REALLY
WHERE I FEEL COMFORTABLE.

I MEAN, THAT'S DEFINITELY
THE LOW END OF IT THERE.

I MEAN, YOU COULDN'T DO
A LITTLE BIT BETTER?

UM... LOOK HOW NICE.

IT'S IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION.

IT IS IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION.

I CAN DO $1,600.

$1,600?

CAN YOU LIVE WITH THAT?

YEAH, YEAH, WHY NOT?

ALL RIGHT, COOL.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING.

THANKS, BARON.

ALL RIGHTY. MY PLEASURE.

Mike:

EARLIER THIS WEEK, A CUSTOMER CAME IN LOOKING
FOR A DEATH MASK TO USE AS INSPIRATION

FOR THIS LIFE-SIZED WAX
MODEL SHE'S MAKING.

DEATH MASKS ARE FAIRLY RARE.

WE DON'T GET A LOT
OF THEM AT THE SHOP.

HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A GOOD FRIEND
WITH A VERY LARGE MASK COLLECTION

THAT MAY HAVE SOMETHING, IF
HE'S WILLING TO SELL IT.

COME ON IN!

OH!

YEAH, THANKS FOR HAVING US OVER.

IT'S ALWAYS NICE
TO HAVE YOU HERE.

ALWAYS NICE TO SEE
THE COLLECTION.

YOU'RE INTERESTED IN SOME MASKS.

YEAH, YEAH!

MASKS, I HAVE!

Mike D.:

I'M MIKE DRAKE. I'VE BEEN COLLECTING MASKS
FOR MANY YEARS, SINCE MY MOTHER GAVE ME

A WOODEN AFRICAN MASK I
GUESS AROUND 35 YEARS AGO.

THAT IS QUITE A COLLECTION.

THANK YOU.

WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU?

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR SO MUCH
THE CARVED, CREEPY MASKS.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR MORE OF,
LIKE, THE CAST HUMAN MASKS.

SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE
ANATOMICALLY HUMAN.

AH! I CAN HELP YOU THERE.

LET'S GO THIS WAY.

OH, WOW, THAT IS
QUITE A COLLECTION!

THERE'S HITCHCOCK.

YES!

THAT'S JOHNNY DEPP.

THAT'S JOHNNY DEPP?

YEAH, IN "PIRATES
OF THE CARIBBEAN."

ACTUALLY, I'M EVEN UP HERE.

ARE YOU?!

YEAH, OVER THERE AT THE END.

THE SILVER ONE ON THE WOOD.

OH, VERY NICE.

OH, YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.

ARE THESE MADE FOR, LIKE, SPECIAL EFFECTS
AND MAKEUP, OR DO THE FAMOUS PEOPLE

JUST HAVE THEIR MASKS MADE?

WHEN YOU NEED TO DO A PROSTHETIC
APPLIANCE, THEY'LL MAKE A MOLD OF

THE FACE, AND THEN YOU CAN SCULPT ON
THERE, RATHER THAN MAKING THE ACTOR

SIT IN THE CHAIR FOR HOURS WHILE
YOU EXPERIMENT WITH SCULPTING.

IN MY CASE, I JUST DID IT
FOR THE FUN OF DOING IT.

THESE ARE NOT DEATH MASKS, AS THESE
PEOPLE... MANY OF THEM ARE STILL ALIVE.

NO, NO.

JOHNNY'S STILL ALIVE, AS AM I.

THESE ARE ALL MOLDED FROM THEIR
FACES WHILE THE PEOPLE WERE ALIVE.

SO THAT'S NOT
HITCHCOCK'S DEATH MASK.

NO, IT'S NOT.

'CAUSE IT'S HARD
TO TELL WITH HIM.

WELL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A DEATH
MASK, I HAVE SOMETHING PERFECT FOR YOU

RIGHT OVER HERE.

OOH!

THAT'S PRETTY CREEPY.

YEAH, THAT IS UNUSUAL.

A DEATH MASK OF A
TWO-HEADED BABY.

THAT'S AMAZING.

IS THIS WHAT YOU NEED?

YES AND NO.

THAT'S CLOSE.

I MEAN, IT IS A DEATH MASK.

IT'S CREEPY AS ANYTHING.

YEAH, THAT'S PROBABLY A
LITTLE TOO MUCH INSPIRATION.

I THINK SHE WANTS SOMETHING MORE...
CLASSICAL.

YEAH, TRADITIONAL.

OKAY. I THINK I HAVE THE
PERFECT THING FOR YOU.

OKAY.

OVER HERE!

L'INCONNUE DE LA SIENE.

AH, THE UNKNOWN OF THE SIENE!

EXACTLY!

I TOOK SPANISH IN HIGH SCHOOL.

THE BASIC STORY OF L'INCONNUE DE LA
SIENE... I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND 1880,

THIS WOMAN DROWNED, AND WHEN THEY
PULLED HER OUT FROM THE RIVER,

THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY HER, SO THEY
MADE A CAST OF HER HEAD FOR THE PURPOSE

OF IDENTIFYING HER LATER ON.

AND IT WAS UNUSUAL BECAUSE SHE
WAS SMILING, AND PEOPLE THOUGHT

THAT SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND
LOOKED SO SERENE THAT THEY STARTED

TO MAKE COPIES OF IT AND THEN
JUST HAVE IT IN THEIR HOMES.

WHAT'S INTERESTING IS SHE'S BEEN CALLED
THE MOST-KISSED WOMAN IN THE WORLD

BECAUSE THIS IS THE HEAD THAT THEY
USED TO MAKE THE FIRST RESUSCI ANNIE.

REALLY?

YES!

SO IF YOU TOOK A CPR CLASS,
THESE ARE THE LIPS YOU KISSED.

NOW, WHAT'S ODD ABOUT THAT ONE IS IT
HAS ALL THOSE ANATOMICAL MARKINGS.

YES, THIS ONE'S PAINTED
UP FOR USE BY DOCTORS.

I HATE TO ASK YOU, BUT WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE
TO PRY THIS FROM YOUR COLD, DEAD HANDS?

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE REALLY IS ONE OF
MY FAVORITE PIECES.

UNDERSTANDABLE.

AND SHE'S VERY UNIQUE, AND
I KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA BE

VERY HARD FOR ME TO REPLACE HER.

UH-OH.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

WOULD YOU CONSIDER
$700 FOR THIS PIECE?

$700 IS... $700 IS SO, SO
LOW, AND SHE'S SO DEAR TO ME.

COULD YOU GO $800?

I THINK WE'LL TAKE IT.

I THINK YOU GOT A DEAL.

THANK YOU, MIKE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HERE IS THE DEATH
MASK WE GOT FOR YOU.

OKAY, LET'S SEE IT.

YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE HER.

Mike:

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

EVAN AND I ARE AT THE HOME OF A COLLECTOR
WHO MAKES LIFE-SIZE WAX MODELS.

WE'RE HERE TO DELIVER A DEATH MASK
WE WERE ABLE TO ACQUIRE FOR HER.

WE DID GO A BIT OVER BUDGET, BUT
I KNOW ONCE SHE SEES THIS THING

OKAY, ARE YOU READY?

YEAH.

OH, MY GOODNESS!

HOLY COW!

LOOK AT THIS PLACE.

OH, GOSH!

WOW, THIS IS ALL YOUR WORK.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

THIS IS NUTS.

THESE ARE ALL CAST OFF
OF PEOPLE I KNOW.

AMAZING.

THEY'RE MY FRIENDS.

THEY'RE MY PEER GROUP.

NOW, IS THIS HOW YOU ASSEMBLE THEM,
OR IS THIS, LIKE, A WHOLE PIECE?

WELL, THIS IS PART OF A PIECE CALLED
"THE VALLEY OF THE DRY BONES,"

THE DOWNFALL OF THE ECONOMY.

OOH.

SO IT'S WAR, IT'S DECLINE,
STOCK-MARKET CRASHES.

THEY'RE KIND OF ANGUISHED.

THEY'RE KIND OF SAD.

MOM AND THE KIDS.

THESE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN.

THESE ARE ALL THE
CHILDREN, AND THAT'S MOM.

THEY'RE WONDERFULLY FRIGHTENING.

I LOVE THAT THEY'RE CLEARLY... THE
FACES ARE NOT CHILDLIKE FACES.

THEY'RE MATURE FACES, BUT
ON THESE LITTLE BODIES.

IT'S REALLY QUITE JARRING.

THEY'RE QUITE AGED.

SO ACTUALLY, HERE IS THE
DEATH MASK WE GOT FOR YOU.

OKAY, LET'S SEE IT.

SHE'S ACTUALLY KIND OF
FAMOUS, THIS WOMAN.

YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE HER.

IT'S FROM FRANCE.

OH, THAT'S FANTASTIC.

AND IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY WELL-KNOWN,
ALTHOUGH UNKNOWN, DEAD PERSON.

WHO IS IT?

SHE'S KNOWN AS L'INCONNUE.

SHE IS THE UNKNOWN.

SHE WAS ACTUALLY A
DROWNING VICTIM.

SHE DROWNED IN THE SIENE, SO
THEY CAST HER DEATH MASK.

BASICALLY TO TRY TO
IDENTIFY HER INITIALLY.

AND ACTUALLY, THIS IS A VERSION OF THAT
CAST, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S MARKED

FOR THE ANATOMICAL DETAIL.

DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK?

OH, I'D LOVE TO.

THANK YOU.

SHE LOOKS SO HAPPY.

SHE'S VERY BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T SHE?

NOW, I KNOW THAT WE DISCUSSED
THE PRICE AT THE SHOP.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU ASKING?

WE'RE ACTUALLY ASKING
$1,200 FOR THIS PIECE.

YOU CAN SEE I KEEP FONDLING HER.

I'M NOT LETTING HER GO, AM I?

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

OH, STOP.

I WANT TO MAKE A PROPOSAL.

SURE.

I'LL TAKE IT FOR YOUR PRICE IF I CAN
CAST EVAN AS MY DEBAUCHED QUEEN.

YES?

OHH!

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, AND
I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO DO YOU.

YOU'D MAKE AN EXCELLENT
DEBAUCHED QUEEN.

SHE WOULD, WOULDN'T SHE?

SO TRUE TO LIFE.

THAT IS JUST THE NICEST OFFER.

COMPLIMENT?

YES, I MEAN, 'CAUSE I AM
OBSESSED WITH THESE WAX MODELS.

TO BE ONE WOULD BE JUST THE
MOST AMAZING THING EVER.

WELL, YOU'RE STUNNING.

YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FACE.

YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

IT WOULD BE AN HONOR AND A
PRIVILEGE TO BE YOUR MODEL.

THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE.

I GUESS WE HAVE A DEAL THEN.

WE GOT A DEAL.

WE GOT A DEAL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S BEEN A GREAT PLEASURE.

I AM REALLY, REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT CASTING EVAN.

THIS IS GONNA BE FANTASTIC.

SHE IS GONNA BE A KILLER MODEL.

SHE IS JUST GONNA BE...
I CANNOT WAIT TO START.

IF YOU DO FREAK,
JUST LET ME KNOW.

DO YOU HAVE, LIKE, A SAFE WORD,
OR A GESTURE OR SOMETHING?

GOOD. BAD.

GOTCHA. THE BASICS.

THE ROMAN... THIS DOES HAVE, SORT OF, A
THIRD-WORLD-SURGERY SORT OF FEEL TO IT.

WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS I'M
GONNA START ON YOUR MOUTH.

IT'S GONNA BE COLD.

OOH!

OH, YEAH.

AH, YUCK!

IT FEELS LIKE FISH.

IT LOOKS LIKE A HORROR
MOVIE OR SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA DO YOUR
MOUTH, MOUTH, MOUTH, MOUTH.

I'M BEING LOCKED IN.

CLOSE THAT MOUTH.

OOPS.

I GOT TO DO YOUR EYES.

OH, THAT IS SO STRANGE.

CAN YOU BREATHE OKAY?

I'M GONNA START PUTTING
THE COTTON ON.

THUMBS UP.

SO FAR SO GOOD.

SO IS COTTON USED TO
REINFORCE THE ALGINATE?

NO, SO THE PLASTER
CAN ADHERE TO IT.

OKAY, I THINK
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.

OKAY, SWEETHEART, WE'RE GONNA START
PUTTING PLASTER BANDAGES ON YOU.

SO THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF MATERIAL
THEY WOULD MAKE A PLASTER CAST FROM...

LIKE, FOR YOUR ARM OR LEG?

THIS IS A LITTLE
BIT MORE FLEXIBLE.

SO IT'S BASICALLY LIKE
GAUZE WITH PLASTER.

IMPREGNATED WITH PLASTER.

RIGHT.

OKAY, SWEETHEART, YOU'RE DONE.

PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE MASK.

OKAY.

START WIGGLING.

CAN YOU BEND FORWARD
A LITTLE BIT?

GREAT. START WIGGLING.

HOLD THE MASK.

KEEP WIGGLING.

I'M GONNA JUST TAKE IT OFF.

OH, MY GOD, IT'S FANTASTIC.

OHH.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

HOLD ON.

LET'S GIVE HER A
PAPER TOWEL, PLEASE.

I AM, LIKE... I AM
VERY LIGHT-HEADED.

OH, MY GOD.

LOOK AT THAT!

ISN'T THAT FANTASTIC?

IT LOOKS LIKE EVAN.

OHH. WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING,
I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE MY FACE

COVERED IN ALGINATE AND
PLASTER TO MAKE A LIFE MASK.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THIS DEBAUCHED
QUEEN MODEL FINALLY LOOKS LIKE.

OH, WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S BEEN A GREAT PLEASURE.

THIS HAS BEEN AN
AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A HUG.

THANK YOU.

HOW YOU DOING?

ANY QUESTIONS...
FEEL FREE TO ASK.

THANKS.

ANYTHING YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR, OR...?

NO, ACTUALLY, I THINK I MIGHT
HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.

DO YOU GUYS BUY ANY
SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD?

THE OLDER, THE BETTER.

YEAH.

AND THE SCARIER, THE
BETTER, OF COURSE.

I GOT SOMETHING SCARY.

GOT IT WITH YOU?

YEAH.

I'M COWBOY MARK.

I'M A DEEJAY AND ANTIQUES
COLLECTOR AND RESELLER.

I THINK I HAVE A PRETTY UNIQUE PIECE
THAT MIKE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN.

IT'S PRETTY COOL.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE?

YEAH.

OH, WOW!

THAT'S PRETTY HORRIBLE STUFF.

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

I GOT SOMETHING SCARY.

GOT IT WITH YOU?

YEAH.

WHAT IS THAT... A DISSECTING
KIT OR SOMETHING?

NO, NO.

OH, WOW.

AN OLD NAVY VENEREAL
TREATMENT KIT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

MAN!

THAT'S PRETTY SWEET!

THIS, OF COURSE, WAS USED, PROBABLY, FOR
ANY SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE...

YOU KNOW, SYPHILIS, GONORRHEA,
BASICALLY WHATEVER YOU HAVE,

THEY WOULD PROBABLY USE A KIT
LIKE THIS TO TRY TO TREAT IT.

SYPHILIS AND GONORRHEA ARE FAIRLY EASILY
CONTROLLED THESE DAYS WITH ANTIBIOTICS,

HOWEVER, WITH THESE OLD KITS, THERE WAS
A LOT OF CUTTING AND SCRAPING GOING ON.

IT'S PRETTY HORRIBLE STUFF.

IF LEFT UNTREATED, I MEAN, THESE
DISEASED COULD LEAD TO HEART PROBLEMS,

MENINGITIS, AND EVEN DEATH.

LOOK AT THAT.

THAT'S THE ASPIRATING NEEDLE.

THAT'S A PRETTY HORRIBLE PROBE.

THIS WOULD BE, WELL, STUCK
INTO ALL SORTS OF PLACES.

IT SOUNDS PAINFUL.

OH, YEAH!

THE THING ABOUT THE OLD NEEDLES
ARE THEY WEREN'T DISPOSABLE.

THESE WOULD BE USED
OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

NOW, THAT'S A
DOUBLE-END CURETTE.

TO SCRAPE, AND IF YOU
FEEL, ON THE EDGE THERE.

IT'S SORT OF LIKE
A MELON BALLER.

WAS THIS STUFF WASHED
BY ANY CHANCE?

THE MORE I LOOK AT IT, THE MORE
I THINK OF WHAT I'M HOLDING.

I'M LIKE, "I REALLY HOPE
THIS STUFF'S BEEN CLEANED."

YEAH.

IT'S A REALLY NICE PIECE.

WHAT KIND OF MONEY
ARE YOU ASKING?

I WAS THINKING $150.

I'D PROBABLY BE MORE
COMFORTABLE AROUND $100.

IS THERE ANY WAY YOU COULD
GET CLOSER TO THAT NUMBER?

$115?

THAT'S FINE.

OKAY. GREAT.

EXCELLENT.

WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT IN.

HEY!

HEY, EVAN, HOW YOU DOING?

SIGRID! GOOD TO SEE YOU?

IF YOU'RE HERE...
SO IS MY FRIEND.

OHH!

THE DEBAUCHED QUEEN.

OH, MY GOD. I CAN'T WAIT.

A LITTLE WHILE AGO, MIKE AND I WENT ON
A HUNT FOR A DEATH MASK FOR SIGRID.

PART OF THE DEAL ON THE PRICE WAS THAT I
WOULD POSE FOR A MODEL OF A DEBAUCHED QUEEN

THAT SHE'S MAKING.

THIS IS EITHER GONNA BE
AMAZING OR TERRIFYING.

I'M KEEPING MY FINGERS
CROSSED THAT YOU LIKE HER.

OKAY.

OKAY. GO AHEAD.

TAKE A LOOK.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

READY?

I'M GONNA SHUT MY EYES.

READY?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IS THAT OKAY?

OHH! THAT'S AMAZING!

YEAH?

LOOK AT HER!

THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ME!

OH, MY GOD!

SHE'S DEBAUCHED.

SHE LOOKS MAD.

DOESN'T SHE?

THE BLOOD DRIPPING OFF
THE LIPS IS NICE.

WHAT DID I EAT?

THE LAMB.

OHH.

BAA!

OHH!

AND THAT VULTURE
SKULL LOOKS GREAT.

THAT REALLY WORKED WELL.

SHE HAS INTERESTING TEETH.

YOU KNOW WHAT... ONE OF THEM
IS MY MOTHER'S ROTTEN TOOTH.

YEAH, YEAH.

AND THE FRONT TOOTH... THERE'S A
ROTTEN FRONT TOOTH IN THERE, TOO.

OHH!

YEAH, SO IT'S GOT REAL TEETH.

IT'S NOT HOW MOST PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO
BE DEPICTED, BUT SHE'S COLD AND EVIL.

I NOW KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE LOOKED
LIKE IF I'D BECOME A DEBAUCHED QUEEN

AND NOT AN ANTIQUES DEALER.

AND I HAVE TO SAY I LIKE IT.

OF THE TWO OF YOU TOGETHER?

YEAH.

I'M REALLY RELIEVED AND REALLY
HAPPY THAT EVAN LIKED THE PIECE,

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WORK
ON MORE PIECES WITH HER.

SHE'S EVIL.

THAT IS SO CREEPY.

I FEEL LIKE I'M
LOOKING AT TWINS.

IT'S REALLY, LIKE, SPOOKY.
