Oddities (2010–…): Season 5, Episode 2 - Brain Bits & Baby Gifts - full transcript

WELCOME TO THE WEIRD WORLD
OF "ODDITIES."

"CLINICAL MEDICINE"?
YEAH.

I WAS DUMPSTER DIVING,
AND I WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK.

OH, YEAH.

THAT'S A NICE COLLECTION
OF CRITTERS.

THANK YOU! I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE I
HAVEN'T HAVEN'T PUT INTO A JAR YET.

WHERE...
THAT IS SO GROSS.

YOU SAID YOU WANT
TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE.

ABSOLUTELY.

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
DO BE CAREFUL.

IF IT FREAKS YOU OUT,
DO NOT DROP IT.



OH, MY GOD.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

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.

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

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

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

OH, HELLO.

HI. HOW YOU DOING?
GOOD.

ASK IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS.



I HAVE
A KIND OF A FASCINATION.

UH-HUH.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD
ANY SORT OF, UH...

OCULAR DEVICES?

OH, WOW!

YOU SEE, I HAVE AN INTEREST IN THINGS...
THE AESTHETIC OF THE EYE. UH-HUH.

SO, I HEARD THAT THIS MIGHT BE
THE PLACE TO COME TO.

MY NAME IS DJ DREAM TRANCER.
MY TWO LOVES ARE MUSIC AND EYES.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WOUND UP
ALMOST GOING BLIND IN MY RIGHT EYE.

THREE MONTHS,
I HAD TO WEAR AN EYE PATCH.

KIND OF GIVES YOU A WHOLE NEW
APPRECIATION FOR EYES AND YOUR SIGHT.

ARE THOSE CONTACTS
YOU'RE WEARING?

THESE ARE CONTACTS.
UH-HUH.

I ACTUALLY HAVE ABOUT 30
OR 40 DIFFERENT PAIRS.

THESE ARE ONE
OF MY FAVORITE ONES.

'CAUSE NOW YOU'RE JUST PUPILS,
WHICH IS VERY DISCONCERTING.

YES, YES.

YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, WE DID GET SOMETHING
VERY COOL IN THAT YOU WOULD APPRECIATE.

I WAS HOPING SO.
YEAH?

MIND IF I TAKE A LOOK?

I'LL GO GET IT.

THIS THING ACTUALLY UPSETS ME
JUST A LITTLE BIT

BECAUSE I'M VERY SENSITIVE
ABOUT MY EYES.

BUT YOU MIGHT LOVE IT.

WOW.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A MID-19th CENTURY
PORTABLE EYE SURGEON'S KIT.

IT'S EVERYTHING YOU'D NEED TO SORT OF
DO TRIAGE ON AN EYE THAT WAS INJURED

OR MAYBE EVEN HAD
SOME KIND OF INFECTION.

THESE JUST LOOK LIKE
SEWING SCISSORS.

UH-HUH.

BUT THESE ARE ACTUALLY
IRIS SCISSORS.

WOW, VERY... AND, YEAH, THEY, UH

THEY WOULD JUST CUT OUT
THE, UH... THE DAMAGED PART.

THAT IS VERY INTERESTING.

DURING THE 19th CENTURY, ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT EYE SURGERIES

WAS THE PROCEDURE USED
TO RELIEVE GLAUCOMA.

GLAUCOMA IS A BUILD-UP OF PRESSURE INSIDE
THE EYE WHICH DAMAGES THE OPTIC NERVE,

THE VEIN-LIKE STRUCTURE
AT THE BACK OF THE EYE

THAT CARRIES VISUAL INFORMATION
FROM THE BRAIN.

WITH INSTRUMENTS LIKE THESE, SURGEONS
COULD REMOVE A PORTION OF THE IRIS,

THUS RELIEVING PRESSURE
IN THE EYE.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIECE
IN THE KIT.

IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING.
IT'S A SPATULA.

YOU DON'T FLIP PANCAKES
WITH THESE, DO YOU?

WELL, YOU DO, KIND OF,
'CAUSE THIS SPATULA...

IT'S USED FOR LIFTING THAT FLAT
TISSUE IF YOU CUT INTO THE CORNEA.

SO THEY PUT IT UNDERNEATH
AND GENTLY LIFT IT?

YEAH.
AND THEN GENTLY PUT IT BACK.

OUCH.

SO, IS THIS THE KIND OF THING
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING,
ACTUALLY.

THIS IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.

WELL,
THE KIT'S ABOUT $250.

YES, THIS IS GREAT.

YEAH?
ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT A DEAL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MY PLEASURE.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD.

ANY QUESTIONS,
FEEL FREE TO ASK.

ANYTHING SPECIFIC
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

I HAVE MY EYE ON THIS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME
ABOUT THIS, ACTUALLY?

THIS IS A JAR FULL
OF HUMAN TEETH.

THIS CAME FROM A DENTIST.

SEE, THERE'S LIKE CAVITIES AND
ABSCESSES AND ROTTEN TEETH IN THERE.

IT'S PRETTY FUNKY STUFF.

THAT'S DEFINITELY THE DIRECTION
I'M HEADING IN.

I JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA INTIMIDATE
THE BIGGEST, BADDEST DUDES OUT THERE.

YOU HAVING, LIKE, A COMPETITION
OR SOMETHING, OR...?

I'M ACTUALLY
A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER.

REALLY?
YEAH.

I'M TALKING SPANDEX AND
TV STUDIOS AND BIG MUSCLES.

REALLY?
YEAH.

THE PROBLEM IS, EVERYONE THINKS
OF ME AS A PRETTY BOY,

SO NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, ACTUALLY.

SORRY.

SO, MY WRESTLING PERSONA
IS A FILIPINO MALE SUPERMODEL

WHO IS OBSESSED
WITH HIS UNIQUE HAIRSTYLE.

BUT PEOPLE SHOULD FEAR ME AND
TAKE ME VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY.

SO YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING...
KIND OF THAT TRASH TALKING

WHEN THEY'RE LIKE "I'M
GONNA... WHATEVER," AND... YEAH.

I JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT'S
GOING TO INTIMIDATE MY OPPONENT.

WELL, I MEAN, THE TEETH
ARE PRETTY COOL,

BUT AS MUCH AS I LIKE THOSE,
I THINK I CAN DO BETTER FOR YOU.

WHAT KIND OF BUDGET
ARE YOU WORKING WITH HERE?

WELL, UH, I WOULD LIKE
TO KEEP IT UNDER A GRAND.

WITHIN THAT BUDGET, I'M POSITIVE I CAN GET
YOU SOMETHING THAT THEY WILL NOT FORGET.

I MEAN, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE,
AND WE SEE A LOT OF STUFF.

GIVE ME A CHANCE
ON THIS ONE.

OKAY.
WELL, I TRUST YOUR JUDGMENT.

WORK YOUR MAGIC.
ABSOLUTELY.

I'LL BE BACK.

HELLO. HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
GOOD.

YOUR OUTFIT'S INTERESTING.

KIND OF LIKE
A SHERLOCK HOLMES VIBE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SO, WHAT BRINGS YOU
INTO OBSCURA?

I KIND OF WANTED TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT BE
INTERESTED IN MAKING AN ACQUISITION.

OH, I'D LOVE TO SEE IT.

CAN I CHECK IT OUT?
SURE.

LOOKS LIKE A POCKET WATCH.

WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY
NOT A TIMEPIECE.

IT CAPTURES PICTURES.

OH, WOW.

SO, HOW DOES THIS WORK?
OKAY.

IT'S BASICALLY A VERY SIMPLE
PINHOLE CAMERA.

LET'S SAY THERE'S SOMEONE ACROSS
THE ROOM AND I WANT THEIR PICTURE.

YOU WOULD PRESS RIGHT HERE.

I WAS A PROFESSIONAL PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
FROM THE MID-'70s IN CALIFORNIA.

ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO,
I STARTED COLLECTING

DETECTIVE, SPY,
AND PRIVATE-EYE MEMORABILIA.

THAT HAS NOW BECOME
THE P.I. MUSEUM.

IT'S AN INTERESTING OBJECT.

DEFINITELY BE INTERESTED
IN THIS PIECE.

OKAY, BUT BEFORE
WE SETTLE ON THIS,

I'VE ACTUALLY GOT
A P.I. MUSEUM ON WHEELS.

UH-HUH.

LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER.

OH... NEAT PLACE YOU GOT HERE.

WELL, THAT'S NEAT...
HALF A PIG?

DO YOU CUT THEM IN HALF
OR DO YOU JUST GET THEM IN HALF?

I'M NOT GONNA SAY.

THERE SHOULD BE A BABY
IN THERE.

THERE SHE IS!

AND YOU HAVE
A HEALTHY BABY GIRL.

IT'S GOT THAT FRESH,
PLASTIC SMELL.

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

BEFORE WE SETTLE ON THIS,
LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER.

OH... LET'S CHECK IT OUT, MAN.
ABSOLUTELY.

AFTER YOU.
THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW,
WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS,

I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS
A DELIVERY TRUCK OR SOMETHING.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE A SWISS ARMY KNIFE...
THERE'S JUST A LOT MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

COME ON. I'LL SHOW YOU.

COOL.

OH, WOW.
LOOK AT THIS PLACE.

WHAT'S THIS GUY?

WELL, THIS HAPPENS TO BE
A KGB KEY-CHAIN CAMERA.

SO, THIS IS A NEWER MODEL?

THIS IS COLD-WAR ERA.

IT WORKS LIKE
A PINHOLE CAMERA.

YOU'VE GOT FOUR SHOTS.

ONCE YOU'VE PRESSED THIS,
THAT SHOT'S TAKEN.

THIS PIECE
LOOKS REALLY COOL.

WHAT IS THAT? OH, WELL... I FEEL
LIKE I'VE SEEN THESE BEFORE.

THIS IS A RECENT ACQUISITION.

IT LOOKS LIKE A WHISTLE.

WELL, YEAH, IT DOES KIND OF
LOOK LIKE A WHISTLE.

BUT, BASICALLY, WHAT YOU DO IS
YOU HIDE IN A RECESSED DOORWAY,

AND THEN YOU AIM THIS DOWN THE
AREA YOU WANT TO WATCH LIKE SO.

RIGHT. SO AROUND A CORNER,
BASICALLY.

AND YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE WHAT'S DOWN THE
BLOCK BY HIDING IN THE RECESSED DOORWAY...

YOU CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

I'M DEFINITELY INTERESTED,
AND THAT'S A PRETTY COOL PIECE.

SO, I'D BE INTERESTED IN THE EXPO
AND THE LITTLE, ANGLED VIEWFINDER.

BUT I'M ALMOST AFRAID TO ASK THE
PRICE OF THESE BECAUSE THEY'RE RARE.

HERE'S WHAT I'LL DO FOR YOU...
HOW ABOUT $1,100 FOR BOTH?

$1,100.

ALL RIGHT,
I CAN DO $1,100.

YOU GOT A DEAL.

ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD.
GOOD DOING BUSINESS.

LET ME WRAP THESE FOR YOU.
ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD.

RECENTLY, A PROFESSIONAL
WRESTLER CAME INTO THE SHOP.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR A PROP HE COULD USE
TO INTIMIDATE HIS OPPONENTS WITH,

SO I'M GONNA PAY A VISIT
TO A COLLECTOR

WHO SAID HE MIGHT HAVE AN ITEM
OR TWO THAT MIGHT WORK.

HEY.
HI... MIKE.

NICE TO MEET YOU IN PERSON.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME OVER.

HOLY COW.
NEAT PLACE YOU GOT HERE.

THANKS!

I LIKE THE MEDICAL
AND THE NATURAL HISTORY.

YEAH, WE TRY TO COMBINE.

WELL, THAT'S NEAT...
HALF A PIG?

HALF-PIG, YEAH.

DO YOU CUT THEM IN HALF OR
DO YOU JUST GET THEM IN HALF?

I'M NOT GONNA SAY.

I HAVE TWO JOBS.

I'M A PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH, AND
I ALSO PUT DEAD THINGS IN JARS.

I'VE COLLECTED EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE
KID, WHETHER IT WAS LEGOS OR COMIC BOOKS.

I SEEM TO AMASS THINGS, LIKE
A GOPHER MAKING A BURROW, SO...

SO, THE FIRST THING THAT CAME
TO MIND IS THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.

WOW.

COMES STRAIGHT OUT
OF YOUR NIGHTMARES.

THAT'S A LAMPREY.

MM-HMM.

I CAN TELL, 'CAUSE THAT MOUTH... THOSE
ARE ALL THOSE LITTLE TEETH IN THERE.

THAT'S ALL TEETH, YEAH.

THEY'RE REAL NASTY THINGS.

YOU KNOW, A FISH OR A WHALE, WHATEVER
GOES BY... THIS THING WILL ATTACH ITSELF.

AND THOSE TEETH REALLY HOLD ON, AND
THEY'LL KIND OF EAT INTO THEM.

BASICALLY JUST EAT
RIGHT THROUGH YOU.

CRAZY.

SUCK OUT YOUR BLOOD
AND ALL OF THAT.

YEAH, THAT IS LIKE
A NIGHTMARE.

LAMPREYS ARE EEL-LIKE
PARASITIC CREATURES.

THEY USE THEIR ROWS OF SHARP TEETH TO EAT
THROUGH THE SCALES AND LATCH ON TO A FISH.

THEY CAN GROW TO ALMOST
40 INCHES LONG.

THEY HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO LATCH ON
TO HUMANS AS WELL,

BUT LUCKILY FOR US, THEY DON'T
LIKE THE TASTE OF HUMAN BLOOD,

AND THEY'LL QUICKLY LET GO.

THAT'S KIND OF NEAT.

THE THING IS, I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS IS GONNA READ SO MUCH.

I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE
I HAVEN'T PUT INTO A JAR YET.

UH, CAN I SEE THAT?

YEAH, SURE!
I'LL GO GET IT.

SURE.

OH, GEEZ.

YEAH. I CAN PULL HIM OUT
FOR YOU, IF YOU WANT.

UH... SURE.

THEY SMELL TERRIBLE.

AH, GEEZ.

WHERE...
THAT IS SO GROSS.

YEAH.
YOU WANT TO HOLD IT?

SURE. WHY NOT?

OH, THAT IS... YEAH.
THAT IS DISGUSTING.

AND THAT...
OH, THEY DO STINK.

GOD, LOOK AT THAT M...

OKAY, I SEE THAT THE LINE HERE
OF LITTLE DOTS...

THOSE ARE, I BELIVE,
THE SENSORY ORGANS,

SO THEY COULD DETECT MOVEMENT
OF A FISH OR ANOTHER ANIMAL,

OF COURSE, TO GO AFTER THEM...
TO GET THEM.

IT HAS ONE MISSION,
AND THAT MISSION IS DEATH.

IT'S LIKE A SWIMMING,
EVIL MOUTH.

I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK
IF THIS WILL WORK OR NOT.

EVEN IF HE WERE TO HOLD IT UP
AND, YOU KNOW,

"LOOK AT THIS SAUSAGE,"
OR, YOU KNOW...

I MEAN, AS COOL AND DISGUSTING
AND HORRIBLE AS IT IS,

I DON'T THINK IT'S THE RIGHT
COOL-DISGUSTING-HORRIBLE THAT I'M LOOKING FOR. OKAY.

ALTHOUGH, THANKS
FOR SHOWING THAT TO ME.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
ANYTIME.

I'LL SHOW YOU OUT.
WONDERFUL.

HI, GUYS.
YOU NEED A HAND WITH ANYTHING?

I THINK WE GOT IT.
NO, WE GOT IT.

UH-HUH.
THIS IS MY BUDDY, MATTY.

HEY, MATT.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE, BIG BOX.
YEAH.

"CLINICAL MEDICINE"?

YEAH.

I WAS LOOKING FOR MY KNIFE WHEN I
WAS DUMPSTER DIVING... UH-HUH.

THEN I SAW THE "CLINICAL
MEDICAL" SIGN ON THERE,

AND, BEING AN EMT,
I WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK.

OH, YOU'RE AN EMT?

YEAH, I'M A VOLUNTEER EMT.
OH.

I'VE KNOWN RYAN
SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.

ANYTIME I FIND SOMETHING ODD,
I JUST THINK OF RYAN.

I'M A VOLUNTEER EMT.

I'M A VETERAN... I WAS
IN THE ARMY AT ONE POINT.

I'M A COOK, BUT I REALLY HATE
THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS.

AND A, UM... A FAILED MUSICIAN.

SHOULD WE CHECK THEM OUT?

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, ACTUALLY, I HAVE A CUSTOMER
WHO HAD HER TONGUE CUT IN HALF.

OH, I'VE ACTUALLY
HAD THAT DONE, TOO.

OH, THERE YOU GO.

LIKE A SNAKE.

I'LL JUST SHOW IT TO YOU.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

DO NOT DROP IT.

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

THAT IS SO GROSS.

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

I WAS LOOKING FOR MY KNIFE WHEN I WAS
DUMPSTER DIVING, AND I FOUND THIS BOX.

SHOULD WE CHECK THEM OUT?

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

OH, YEAH.
THERE SHE IS.

I'VE SEEN ONE OF THESE
BEFORE, ACTUALLY.

HAVE YOU?
MM-HMM.

YEAH, THIS IS NICE.

IT'S WHAT THEY USED TO CALL
AN OBSTETRICAL PHANTOM,

AND MIDWIVES USED TO TRAIN ON THINGS
VERY MUCH LIKE THIS FOR CENTURIES.

THESE WERE ACTUALLY USED
TO TEACH MIDWIVES

HOW TO REPOSITION THE BABY
FROM OUTSIDE OR FROM INSIDE.

IF THERE WAS A BREACH BIRTH, TRY
TO GET IT IN THE RIGHT POSITION.

THE OLD ONES MADE OF LEATHER, MADE OF
WOOD... THEY DIDN'T FEEL QUITE SO HUMAN.

THIS ONE'S FAIRLY NEW, AND IT'S ACTUALLY...
MM, FEELS PRETTY RIGHT TO ME.

ALSO, WHAT YOU CAN'T DO
ON THIS ONE IS DO A C-SECTION.

ALTHOUGH, THERE SHOULD BE
A BABY IN THERE.

THERE IS A BABY IN THERE.
I SEE A HEAD PEAKING.

YEAH.

AND THERE'S THE PLACENTA
AND THE UMBILICAL CORD.

YEAH. JUST SNAPS ON AND OFF,
LIKE REAL LIFE.

MM-HMM.

AND YOU HA
A HEALTHY BABY GIRL.

IT'S GOT THAT FRESH,
PLASTIC SMELL.

IT DOES.

SO, MATTY, YOU WERE LOOKING
TO SELL THESE, I ASSUME.

YEAH.
I HAVE NO USE FOR THESE.

OH, YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY THESE
ARE A LITTLE NEW FOR US.

THE OLD ONES... THOSE ARE
VALUABLE, VERY HARD TO GET.

SO, UNFORTUNATELY, MAN, WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO PASS ON THESE.

ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.
I'LL HELP YOU.

WELL, THAT WAS A... SHOVE
THIS THING BACK IN THERE.

YOU GOT THAT?

THAT'S THE HARD PART.

IT IS.

I'M ON THE HUNT FOR A CUSTOMER OF THE
SHOP WHO IS A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER.

HE WANTS SOMETHING ODD
OR STRANGE TO USE AS A PROP

TO INTIMIDATE
HIS OPPONENTS WITH.

SO I'M HEADING OVER TO VISIT
AN OLD CUSTOMER OF THE SHOP

WHO SAYS HE HAS ONE OR TWO ITEMS
THAT MIGHT WORK.

HE ALSO HAS SOMETHING HE'S BEEN
DYING TO SHOW ME FOR A WHILE.

CALVIN.

HEY, MIKE,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

HOW YOU DOING, MAN?
COME ON IN.

THANK YOU.

THIS IS IT.

NICE.
THIS IS REALLY NICE.

I LOVE THESE GUYS.

I MEAN, THE CLASSIC...
THE TWO-HEADED CALF.

YEAH, I BOUGHT THIS ONE
SOLID FROZEN.

IT DIDN'T LIVE LONG.

YEAH, THEY OFTEN
DON'T LIVE LONG.

MONIQUE OVER THERE ON THE STAND... SHE'S
ACTUALLY A PROSTITUTE FROM THE 1920's.

YEAH, IT'S KIND OF WEIRD.

SHE HAS A VERY SHORT TORSO
BUT LONG LEGS.

SEXY.

MY NAME IS CALVIN VON CRUSH.

I'M A MACABRE COLLECTOR
AND TATTOO ARTIST.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THE WEIRD
AND THE PARANORMAL AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

I GREW UP VERY POOR, AND NOW THAT
I'M A SUCCESSFUL TATTOO ARTIST,

I SPEND A LITTLE EXTRA MONEY
ON COLLECTION PIECES.

I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN PLENTY OF
FREAKS IN JARS IN YOUR DAY, MIKE.

NOT OFTEN DO YOU GET TO SEE ONE
THAT'S STILL ALIVE.

OH, MAN!

WOW.

A TWO-HEADED TURTLE.
THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

HOW OLD ARE THOSE?
THEY'RE ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD.

WHEN YOU TURN IT LIKE THIS,
YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE

THEY'VE GOT SIX LEGS TOTAL
AND TWO SEPARATE HEADS.

THAT'S AMAZING. THE BIG FELLA...
HE GETS TO GO WHEREVER HE WANTS,

AND THE LITTLE ONE'S
ALONG FOR THE RIDE.

AS IN LIFE.

BIRTHS OF CONJOINED TWINS WHOSE SKIN
AND INTERNAL ORGANS ARE FUSED TOGETHER

ARE AN INCREDIBLY RARE
HAPPENING.

1 IN ABOUT EVERY 200,000 LIVE
BIRTHS RESULT IN THIS,

AND WHILE ONE TWIN
MIGHT BE DOMINANT,

THEY'RE OFTEN DEPENDENT ON EACH
OTHER FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

FOR INSTANCE, THERE MAY BE TWO
HEARTS BUT ONLY ONE STOMACH.

THE REASON I STOPPED BY... I HAVE
THIS CLIENT WHO'S A PRO WRESTLER,

AND HE'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING VERY
UNUSUAL TO EITHER USE IN HIS ACT

OR WHEN THEY'RE TALKING TRASH ABOUT THE
OTHER PERSON... I GOT SOMETHING RIGHT HERE.

OH!
YEAH, CHECK THAT OUT.

OH, MY GOD!

THIS IS "ODDITIES."

I HAVE THIS CLIENT
WHO'S A PRO WRESTLER,

AND HE'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING VERY
UNUSUAL TO EITHER USE IN HIS ACT

OR WHEN THEY'RE TALKING TRASH ABOUT THE
OTHER PERSON... I GOT SOMETHING RIGHT HERE.

OH!
YEAH, CHECK THAT OUT.

OH, MY GOD!

THIS IS ACTUALLY
A HUMAN TONGUE.

AND MOST OF THE ESOPHAGUS.

THAT'S NUTS.
THAT'S A REAL HUMAN TONGUE.

HERE, TAKE A LOOK.

HOLY... WOW.

THAT'S A TONGUE, ALL RIGHT.

THAT IS SO DISGUSTINGLY
WONDERFUL.

WHAT'S... IT'S LIKE
A SOCK OR SOMETHING.

WHAT IS THAT?

YEAH, IT'S SOME TYPE OF FABRIC,
AND I BELIVE IT'S TO SHOW

THE LIMITATIONS
OF THE HUMAN MOUTH.

RIGHT,
TO GIVE IT SOME CONTEXT.

ABSOLUTELY.

SO... WOW.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CUSTOMER
WHO HAD HER TONGUE CUT IN HALF.

OH, I'VE ACTUALLY
HAD THAT DONE TOO.

OH, THERE YOU GO.

LIKE A SNAKE.

THAT'S GREAT, THOUGH.

THIS ACTUALLY MIGHT WORK
FOR THIS GUY.

HE COULD MAKE UP SOME STORY
ABOUT THIS WAS, YOU KNOW...

THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE LAST
GUY HE BEAT IN THE RING.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THIS IS FOR SALE, OR...?
ABSOLUTELY.

I'M NOT REALLY TOO ATTACHED
TO IT.

NEITHER IS
THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

YEAH.

WOULD YOU POSSIBLY DO
LIKE $500 ON THAT?

I TELL YOU WHAT... I WILL DO $500, BUT IF
ANY OUIJA BOARDS COME IN THE FRONT DOOR,

I'D BETTER BE THE FIRST GUY
YOU GIVE A CALL TO.

YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL,
MAN.

EXCELLENT, MAN.
THANKS, CALVIN.

HERE'S YOUR TONGUE.
THANKS.

HEY.

HI.
WELCOME BACK.

HOW YOU DOING?
NICE TO SEE YOU.

THIS IS JESSIE, MY LOVELY
AND VIVACIOUS GIRLFRIEND.

RECENTLY, MY CLIENT MIKE, WHO HAPPENS
TO BE A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER,

CAME INTO THE SHOP.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR A PROP TO USE TO SORT
OF COUNTERACT HIS PRETTY-BOY PERSONA.

I FOUND A REALLY
DISGUSTING PIECE.

HOPEFULLY,
IT WILL BE PERFECT FOR HIM.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE...

YOU WANTED PEOPLE TO BE
TALKING ABOUT YOU.

"OH, MY GOD, THERE'S THE GUY
WITH THE WHATEVER."

ABSOLUTELY.

UM... I'LL JUST SHOW IT TO YOU.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

AH, HERE WE GO.
HERE WE GO!

NOW, THIS IS IN AN ANTIQUE JAR,
SO DO BE CAREFUL.

IF IT FREAKS YOU OUT,
DO NOT DROP IT.

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

THAT IS SO GROSS.

EXACTLY.

WHAT IS THAT?

IS THIS A TONGUE?

IT IS A HUMAN TONGUE.

OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?

AM I LOOKING AT THE ESOPHAGUS,
RIGHT HERE?

AND TRACHEA.

WHAT IS ALL THIS WHITE STUFF?
WHAT'S... WHAT IS THAT?

OH, IT'S CONNECTIVE TISSUE.

PART OF IT'S MUSCLE,
PART OF IT IS JUST FAT.

EW.

THIS WAS ACTUALLY
A MEDICAL PREPARATION.

YOU'LL SEE THIS PIECE
OF FABRIC HERE.

YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK
ABOUT THE FABRIC.

THAT IS TO REPLICATE THE MOUTH... TO SHOW
WHAT PARTS OF IT WOULD BE IN YOUR MOUTH,

AS OPPOSED TO THE PART THAT
WOULD BE PART OF YOUR THROAT.

I COULD PICTURE MYSELF DOING A
WRESTLING INTERVIEW WITH THIS TONGUE,

SAYING SOMETHING LIKE, "THIS IS WHAT
HAPPENED "TO THE LAST OPPONENT THAT I HAD.

"I RIPPED HIS TONGUE OUT.

THIS COULD BE YOUR FUTURE
AFTER TONIGHT."

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO GROSS.

- THERE ARE NO TABOOS WITH ME.
- SWEET.

THIS IS PERFECT.
I'M DISGUSTED.

I FEEL SORRY FOR MY OPPONENTS.

I FEEL SORRY
FOR YOUR FRIEND HERE.

YOU WANT TO KISS THAT?

NO.

OH, MY GOD!
I GOT TO HAVE THIS.

MIKE, HOW MUCH?

UM... I DID STAY UNDER YOUR BUDGET, BUT
IT WAS A LITTLE ON THE PRICEY SIDE.

UM... WHAT ARE WE TALKING, HERE?
WHAT'S THE DAMAGE?

$750 I NEED
ON THIS TONGUE.

I SAID IF YOU COULD FIND ME SOMETHING
TWISTED ENOUGH... MORBID ENOUGH...

I WAS WILLING TO PAY UP TO A
GRAND, AND I HAD MY DOUBTS,

BUT YOU'VE DEFINITELY
OUTDONE YOURSELF WITH THIS ONE.

$750... YOU GOT YOURSELF
A DEAL, SIR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NO, THANK YOU.

AND LOVELY MEETING YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.

I'M REALLY HAPPY MIKE
LIKED THIS TONGUE IN A JAR.

HOPEFULLY HE CAN USE IT
TO SORT OF FAKE OUT

AND PIN DOWN HIS OPPONENTS
AND END WITH A CLEAN FINISH.

I JUST HOPE IT'S NOT A CLEAN FINISH
WITH HIM AND HIS LADY FRIEND.

SHE SEEMED REALLY FREAKED OUT
BY THIS THING.

WE'LL STICK THAT IN A BOX.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK AROUND

WITH YOUR TONGUE FLAPPING
AROUND OUT THERE.

YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT
ON THE WAY HOME.
