Tom is in a best position.

He is... he has the advantage

because he has promised

to deliver it before he dies.

It's very important to me that

I'm not getting the first specimen

from an anonymous nobody

somewhere.

Of course,

I would prefer it to be from...

well, let's say, like Mr Arason,

who's a renowned personality

in Iceland that everybody knows.

Its a damn big penis

youre going to get from me, Siggi.

Right?

Yes, youre a famous man.

But now theres a new donor.

Yes.

Hes 60 and he is a threat because...

Yes?

Hes going to cut it off before he dies.

Sh*t... Right.

So he could beat you to it.

Ah...

Mr Arason is a very, very funny,

or very special character.

He's a boaster and a braggart,

you know?

And he

wants to be in the limelight.

There is no other Pall Arason

in Iceland.

Except me.

He was one of the first

who went over the highlands by car.

Ive been the first in so many ways.

I was the first

to take tourists to the highlands.

I made these paths possible.

It was a big adventure

and he got famous.

At first I got no support.

Icelanders didnt have the courage

to go up into the mountains.

That was only for outlaws,

they thought.

Mr Arason is a remarkable guy

in many ways.

Some people say

that he's the greatest womaniser

in the history of the country.

My forefathers on my mothers side

were priests and womanisers.

And the priests liked women a lot.

Womanising is a big part

of the legend of Pall.

I think he had many women

and I know

that many women came here.

He was a truck driver

up in the mountains

and maybe alone with ten women.

Who knows?

All sorts... black, yellow, white.

But never an Eskimo.

I had a book and I wrote in it

every time I got laid.

And that book

has about 300 names now.

Not counting prostitutes and such

in Paris, Amsterdam and Rome.

I got crabs from the one in Rome.

Yes, Kata, yes,

she was so lovely.

Beautiful breasts she had.

And her arse, too.

Yes, yes.

And Disa from Midfjordur.

And this one

from the Canary Islands.

Yes, she was fun.

When visitors walk into

the penis museum in Iceland

and they first set eyes on Elmo

and see this relatively large erect

penis with an American design,

stars and stripes,

red, white, and blue,

I'd like them to know

that the largest and best one

of the entire collection

came from the States,

which is patriotic.

But I also want people to, I guess,

take a moment and contemplate

how they feel about themselves.

I want to do something

that makes a statement

and makes people feel good

and actually breaks through

the ceilings and barriers

and let mankind in general

move forward.

So this tattoo you're doing

will be around theoretically

for thousands of years.

Maybe the one and only tattoo you do

in your whole career

that will be here

hundreds of years from now.

You want to take a look?

Ooh, that's nice.

SINGING IN ICELANDIC

Welcome relatives, and cheers!

- I thought I was your brother.

- Yes, I know.

This is made of penis skin

from a sperm whale.

There are just four specimens

of this kind in the world.

One, two, three, and Mr Arason.

When Pall Arason promised to

donate his penis,

he claimed to have slept with

the most women in Iceland.

I dont remember if there were...

Two, three...

There were 400,

thats what I understood.

Thats okay.

Now there are 402. Thats fine.

But when he donates his specimen

it will become very valuable

and unique.

Dr Petursson

has pledged to remove it.

Yes.

Of course.

Dr Petur once said to me

"Ari, if you find the old man dead,

"call me first, and then 911."

Hi Siggi, how are you?

Hi Tom, how are you?

Congratulations. You have a red,

white and blue stars and stripes...

Oh yeah?

.. on your American penis's head.

Fantastic. That's nice to hear.

Siggi, I'm pretty sure you have

a pretty good idea

on how you want to display him.

Well, it must be rather special,

rather...

It must be extremely well done.

But I will take care

of Elmo's display.

Don't do anything.

Right. Okay.

I'm wanting to

get a display case made

for the penis museum

in Iceland.

I've come up with some sketches.

I'm looking for your thoughts

and feedback.

I had thought

to actually mount it on.

This is the display box

I designed for Elmo.

For me it's very important

that Elmo be plastinated

fully erect, looking natural

with both testicles hanging

in the bottom of the scrotum

with pubic scalp that I want

harvested at the same time.

This would be the top, front face.

It bevels down and goes...

He was putting forth all kinds of

conditions about the preservation,

about the presentation of it

in the museum, etcetera, etcetera.

And all kinds of naming...

even what kind of wood

he was going to make the box of.

These are three-eighths inch.

These two will be

three-eighths inch.

This'll be quarter inch

and very strong

because it's one continuous piece.

It could be glued down to the base

or left separate.

If it has legs on it

it could be set on a pedestal

or a shelf.

Or it could be alternately

attached to a wall.

Suggestions are okay

but I'm doing it my way.

That's absolutely clear.

We have a shelf and a mirror.

Visitors to the museum

could get views from either side,

from the front

and then through the mirror

a view from below.

Okay, yeah.

We're going to probably want to

lean it down at... about like that.

We're looking at, hopefully,

this lasting indefinitely.

I've been doing this for 40 years

and I've got things I built

in the Getty that are still there.

Okay.

Do you have a warranty

on anything that you make?

You know, should it come apart?

I have one for aquariums,

I guess I could...

Okay.

Absolutely.

He asked me if he could have it back

off season, you know?

I could have it here during summer.

And he asked me

if that wouldn't be all right

if he got it back

during winter here.

Either he presents it, donates it

formally and legally, and it's mine.

And it's mine to decide

what happens,

how it's going to be presented

and so on.

So this is completely

out of his hands after he delivers.

Initially when I was considering

having them harvested and preserved,

I was thinking more in terms of

traditional things like taxidermy

and some of the taxidermists

had been experimenting

with freeze drying.

I think they did that with some

people's pets, dogs and cats,

and that was relatively successful.

And then I discovered

the science of plastination

which is a modern high tech way

of preserving anatomical specimens.

Mr Tom contacted us

asking us to preserve

his male genitals

in complete shape.

That means penis,

scrotum and testicles.

The goal of this treatment

is to keep a natural shape,

erected position.

It is very, very important

to be careful

with possible shrinkage.

We want to be sure

to avoid any shrinkage.

For this reason we are developing

new techniques and new polymers.

This is an international project.
