The Final Member Page #4

Synopsis: Thirty miles from the Arctic Circle, in the northern Icelandic town of Husavik, stands the Icelandic Phallological Museum - the world's only Penis museum. Over 40 years, the founder and curator has collected every specimen from every mammal except for one elusive penis needed to complete his collection: The Human Specimen. The film follows the curator's incredible, sublimely comic, often shocking quest to complete his eccentric collection, and the two intrepid men who have raised their hands to be the first human donor.

We are in Italy,

the donor is in the United States,

and the museum is in Iceland.

We will have to move to the USA

with a mobile laboratory.

And treatment should be done

immediately after the surgery,

removing of the male genitals.

Then delivery

to the penis museum in Iceland.

Hello, Dr Shahar?

Yes?

How are you?

Fine, fine.

Your lab is kind of clear now.

You could you could take Elmo in

and do plastination work?

Yes.

Okay.

A penis and testicles can be done in

two to three months then, correct?

Yes, yes.

This is a funny guy, you know?

I have never met a person like him

or been in contact

with any person like him.

So I'm not quite sure

what he really means.

Or what he's...

where he is going, really.

So I am just, as I said before,

I am just the receiver.

I just wait.

This morning I handed into the

printers my latest book,

my 22nd work

entitled "The Fox and the Nation".

It's a history of 1100 years

of relations between fox and man.

You know, the Icelandic fox

is a special animal.

It's the only animal

that has a longer history in Iceland

than we have.

But it's hunted

without discrimination.

The entire country

thinks this animal is a pest.

They talk about

the extermination of a species.

But what about

the rights of the animal?

This is something to fight for.

So we founded a society, the Society

of the Friends of the Foxes.

Well, it might have started

as a joke,

as the phallological museum started.

But we use that

just to confront society

and try to make them

change their attitude.

This is essentially wrong.

So we must change our ideas of how

to treat, for example, the fox.

Or to take a collection of penises.

Why to hide it?

I have never asked anybody

to kill an animal for me

and I've never

killed an animal myself.

I don't shoot, I don't fish,

I don't hunt.

So first I put some water

and then one tenth of the solution

is formaldehyde.

No animal here has ever been killed

for me or because of me.

Same applies to Elmo.

That's absolutely clear.

I've talked with people who have

suggested different ideas,

things that can be offered to public

visitors to the museum and whatnot.

There are things I'd like to pursue.

One is a comic book.

This is

a simplified line drawing

of a cartoon comic book

type of character.

"The Amazing Adventures of Elmo. "

He's been detached, he's off to

conquer evil, to see the world.

I need to find somebody

who's an artist,

a comic book illustrator

type of person.

Somebody who's pretty creative

with storylines

and maybe

has a good sense of humour.

I'm excited about the idea.

I think it would be a lot of fun.

And I need to talk to Siggi

about it.

I think Siggi would have

a lot of ideas as well.

So he doesn't have

any feet or shoes.

So he kind of magically

levitates around wherever he goes.

He was driving me crazy, you know?

I was having

two or three emails a day.

Whole pages of discussion

about his organ.

I don't know

how much money I should spend

on a penis I'm having cut off...

I want Elmo to look his best.

What do you think?

He's awfully thick. His scrotum

and testicles hang a long way...

Let's have fun making him famous...

He was always sending me photos of

Elmo in all kinds of situations.

With a Santa Claus hat.

Abraham Lincoln.

As a Viking.

He feels that I am rejecting

his endless discussion about Elmo.

And his response was

"Dear Tom, I am busy at the moment

"putting the final touches on a book

I have been translating.

"A 16th century historical work. "

What can I do? Encourage him?

I'm not letting him get too close.

So I'm keeping him at a distance

where I feel sure about my position,

you know?

So he must do it on his own and I'm

just waiting until I receive it.

When I first contacted Siggi

he was cordial.

In fact, he was enthusiastic and I

did the letter of donation to him

and he wanted some photos

and I sent him some photos

and he wanted to know

if I could get a plastic model made

and I said as a matter of fact

I already had one

and sent that to him

and he was all excited.

But here more recently

he's not communicating well.

I'm beginning to think

that he's wanting to give preference

to the Icelander or someone else

and that he's just... his enthusiasm

has fallen off to zero.

I think it's important that we treat

one another with respect.

We each own our own bodies.

And I think as long as

we don't harm one another

we ought to be able to do

what we please.

And as far as

the exhibitionist needs that I have,

I think I can satisfy

in a socially acceptable way

by donating to the museum.

I hope nobody

thinks negatively about me.

I'm sincere, and I like to think

that I'm a pretty decent guy.

I try to treat other people the same

way that I like to be treated.

And that's with respect.

Mr Arason

has stated it repeatedly to me

that his specimen

has been shrinking rather rapidly.

According to the minimum legal

standard of five inches...

I very much doubt

that he would reach up to that.

Many people expect

that the specimen that comes

from Pall Arason will be huge.

But Im afraid that many

will be disappointed.

Pall Arason is the same

as other old folks.

It shrinks a lot with age.

It has been very important for him

to be preserved

in a dignified position.

As big and as gorgeous

as it could be done.

Maybe this is the reason for him

just trying to retract

from this document,

from this promise, you know?

Some doctors have told me

that if it's taken off the body

before the body cools down

and it is bled properly,

all the blood is taken out,

then some doctor told me

that it would be possible

to pump it up with a liquid.

If he is warm when it is taken,

still warm,

you can cut it off,

bleed it properly

and then inject it and raise it.

Im against that

because if you pump Arasons penis up

larger than it is, then it becomes fake.

Then it's not real.

Yeah, its a fake.

Its probably just a small raisin

from a 95-year-old man now,

like it came from a field mouse.

Siggi has many ideas and fantasies.

He thinks that

he can do something about it

but I think that it will never be.

It's hanging over me. I'm getting

old and my health is not so good.

I'm still waiting

for a proper human.

People sometimes ask me

why I am doing this?

I've been doing this for...

not for money, definitely.

But for the...

Well, it's part of...

It's pride as well.

I'm proud of presenting

or telling people about this.

But it's deeper than that.

I try to provoke people,

to make them look differently

at things, you know?

You want to, well, explore things

that other people don't.

Of course, every museum wants

things that are beautiful, the best.

And it will be a huge disappointment

if Pall doesnt reach the required size,

the so-called legal length.

So Siggi must have a plan B.

For a number of reasons

I decided that I wanted

to remove my genitals completely.
