:15:00
It's a little bit of history
that I'll preserve.

:15:05
I collect the items
when I can get them,

:15:07
and they're wonderful to have.
:15:09
They're definitely
one-of-a-kind items.

:15:11
Man: Everything we touch,
whether it be a little piece of hair

:15:14
or a nose or something small,
there's a whole cult market out there

:15:17
where a lot of the pieces sell
for hundreds and thousands of dollars.

:15:21
What we see in these rooms
literally could run into the millions,

:15:27
you know, if we opened up
a market on the outside of it.

:15:29
So we're very guarded.
Everything we keep under lock and key.

:15:32
Unfortunately,
John de Lancie

:15:34
couldn't make it
to this show this weekend

:15:36
due to professional
commitments.

:15:37
We do have an autograph here.
:15:39
Man: Well, the Q virus
was the most bizarre thing.

:15:43
John de Lancie, who plays Q, was--
He barely made it to the convention.

:15:47
He was really sick.
I mean, very ill.

:15:51
Dizzy, questioning whether
he was going to go onstage,

:15:53
but he was a real trouper,
and he went up onstage and did his show,

:15:58
and, you know,
he left his water glass.

:16:01
And I held up the glass
and I said, "Who would be interested
in purchasing the Q virus?"

:16:05
And it was kind of a joke, but
the crowd just went absolutely crazy.

:16:10
They went bonkers for the thing.
So, you know, I went ahead
and auctioned off the glass,

:16:15
and it went for, I don't know,
40, $60 or something like this.

:16:19
And a guy bought it, and he
came up, and I said, "Look"--

:16:23
It was half-full
still of water--

:16:24
I said, "Look, you really
don't want to drink this.

:16:27
He's very sick. I mean,
he's very, very ill."

:16:29
"Oh, no, no. I want to drink it.
I want to drink it."

:16:32
And he just downed
the whole glass right there,

:16:34
And he yelled out, "I've got
the Q virus! I've got the Q virus!"

:16:38
And he planned to spread it
all over the world.

:16:41
You know, that was his thing.
:16:43
I was walking down the street
in New Y ork,

:16:45
and I caught somebody
coming towards me.

:16:47
He said, "are you Q?"
:16:51
And I said, "Y eah."
:16:52
"Can you bring people back
from the dead?"

:16:56
And I went,
"Uh...only people I like."
