It was meant to be the real thing. Apparently there was something or 
other wrong with this guy's heart, so they were going to rip it out and 
stick a new one in. (I wasn't really paying attention.) The new heart 
looked rather limp and pale. But the still-beating one looked evil! (And 
several sizes too big for the chest cavity, BTW...)
