"male announcer:" "ON THIS EPISODE OF PAWN STARS..." " IT'S A COMMEMORATIVE COIN" "FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FUNERAL PROCESSION." " ANYTHING GEORGE WASHINGTON IS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE." " IT'S NOT THAT OLD, SON." " THIS IS A VINTAGE COCA-COLA SIGN" "FROM AROUND THE 1900s." " THIS COULD BE A GREAT BUY FOR US." "I MEAN, THE WOOD IS DEFINITELY OLD." "THERE'S A HUGE MARKET FOR VINTAGE COKE PRODUCTS." "THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL HITTING A HOME RUN." " SO WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?" " A CORN SHUCKER." " A CORN SHUCKER." " A CORN SHUCKER." "IT SHUCKS THE CORN." " I'M RICK HARRISON, AND THIS IS MY PAWN SHOP." "I WORK HERE WITH MY OLD MAN AND MY SON, BIG HOSS." "EVERYTHING IN HERE HAS A STORY AND A PRICE." "ONE THING I'VE LEARNED AFTER 21 YEARS," "YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GONNA COME THROUGH THAT DOOR." "HEY, WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH?" " WELL, I'M COMING IN TODAY" "TO SEE IF I CAN SELL MY OLD CARNIVAL WHEEL." " I KNOW THIS GAME." "STEP RIGHT UP." "[laughs]" " PLACE YOUR BETS!" " I DECIDED TO COME DOWN TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY" "TO SELL MY OLD CARNIVAL WHEEL." "I BELIEVE THIS CARNY WHEEL IS 80 YEARS OLD," "AND FOR 80 YEARS OLD, IT'S IN VERY GOOD SHAPE." "I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S WORTH," "BUT I'D LIKE TO GET $500 TODAY." " DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?" " YOU HAD TO BET AT LEAST A NICKEL." "OF COURSE, THIS IS, LIKE, THE '30s OR '40s." " YEAH, AND YOU COULD BET ON JUST IT LANDING ON 2, 5." "YOU COULD BET ON IT LANDING ON THE WHITE LINES." "YOU COULD BET THE BLUE, THE RED." " IF YOU HIT THE BLUE, YOU GOT TWICE." "IF YOU HIT THE RED, YOU'D GET, LIKE, THREE TIMES YOUR MONEY." " IT'S JUST AN OLD-WORLD GAMBLING MACHINE." "THIS IS WHAT WOULD BE IN THE BACK OF A SPEAKEASY SOMEWHERE." " YEAH, THE ROULETTE WHEEL IS, YOU KNOW, FLAT," "AND THIS IS A VERTICAL ONE" "BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE." " WELL, THIS THING WAS MUCH MORE PORTABLE, SO..." " YOU COULD GRAB IT AND RUN, PROBABLY." "[laughter]" " THE EARLY '30s PROHIBITION WAS IN FULL FORCE," "AND MOST FORMS OF GAMBLING WERE ILLEGAL." "SO PORTABLE GAMES WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY POPULAR" "WITH SPEAKEASIES AND TRAVELING CARNIVALS," "AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS THING WAS DESIGNED TO BE PORTABLE." "IT'S IN RELATIVELY GOOD SHAPE." "I MEAN, YOUR LEATHER STRAP'S GONE." " YEAH." " THAT'S A BUSINESS CARD RIGHT HERE." " I THINK IT COULD BE FROM THE '30s." " YEAH, THE WAY THE METAL'S STAMPED AND EVERYTHING," "THAT'S CAST IRON." "IT DOES HAVE HEX NUTS ON IT, SO RIGHT AROUND '30 SOUNDS RIGHT." "IT'S IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE CONSIDERING ITS AGE," "AND OLD ANTIQUE GAMBLING PIECES SELL WELL HERE IN VEGAS." "IT ALSO DOESN'T TAKE UP MUCH ROOM IN THE SHOP," "SO IT WOULD BE A GREAT BUY FOR US." "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT?" " I WANT TO SELL IT, SIR." " AND HOW MUCH WERE YOU LOOKING TO GET OUT OF IT?" " $500." " NO." "[laughs]" " HOW ABOUT $300?" " YOU KNOW, I'LL GIVE $150." " CAN'T GO $200?" " I'LL TELL YOU WHAT." "IF IT LANDS BETWEEN 8 AND 15," "I'LL GIVE YOU $200." "IF IT LANDS BETWEEN 1 AND 7, IT'S $150." " OKAY." " [laughs]" "ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO." " YOU SPIN IT." " THIS IS A TACTIC I USE WHENEVER I CAN." "IT'S ONLY 50 BUCKS, BUT IT MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER" "ABOUT ACCEPTING A LOWER OFFER." "HE THINKS HE CAN WIN, BUT IN THE END," "I WIN EITHER WAY." "[wheel clicking]" "I GUESS IT'S $200." " THANK YOU, SIR!" "I LIKE THE WAY YOU GAMBLE." "I DO." "I DO." " COME ON." "LET'S GO DO SOME PAPERWORK." " BEING LAS VEGAS, I SAID, "I'LL TAKE THE BET,"" "BECAUSE I FELT LUCKY." "SO, LAS VEGAS, THANK YOU." "I GOT THE EXTRA $50." " HEY, YOU WANT TO PUT THIS IN THE SHOWCASE?" " YEAH." " HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?" " GOOD." "HOW ARE YOU?" " WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH TODAY?" " I GOT A COIN THAT I'VE HAD SINCE I WAS A KID." " OKAY." " TRYING TO SEE WHAT IT'S WORTH." " OKAY." " IT'S NOT A REAL COIN." "IT'S, LIKE, A COMMEMORATIVE COIN" "FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FUNERAL PROCESSION." " OKAY." ""HE IS IN GLORY." "THE WORLD IS IN TEARS."" "WHEN I DIE, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO SAY," ""HE IS IN TEARS." "THE WORLD IS IN GLORY."" "[laughter]" " I DECIDED TO COME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY" "TO TRY TO SELL A COMMEMORATIVE COIN THAT I HAVE" "FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FUNERAL." "I'VE HAD IT FOR 30-PLUS YEARS." "IT'S BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE DOING NOTHING," "AND I'D LOVE TO GET $200, $300 FOR IT IF I COULD," "AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL MAKE THAT HAPPEN." " WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THIS?" " WHEN I WAS A KID, I USED TO COLLECT COINS," "AND MY DAD TOOK ME DOWN TO ONE OF THE SHOWS IN NEW YORK CITY" "AND PICKED THAT UP." " LET ME SEE HERE." "IT'S GEORGE WASHINGTON ON ONE SIDE, SURROUNDED BY LAURELS." "ON THE OTHER SIDE IS THE DATE OF HIS DEATH RIGHT HERE" "DECEMBER 14, 1799" "AND A BIG URN WITH "GW" ON IT." "WASHINGTON'S DEATH HAD A HUGE IMPACT ON THIS COUNTRY," "AND EVEN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, PEOPLE PAID THEIR RESPECTS." "IN FACT, NAPOLEON ORDERED TEN DAYS OF MOURNING" "THROUGHOUT FRANCE." "TOO BAD SOMEONE DRILLED A HOLE IN IT." "YOU DIDN'T PUT THIS HOLE IN THERE, DID YOU?" " NO." " LET'S SEE IT, SON." " DON'T FINGER IT UP TOO MUCH." " RICKY, JUST SHUT THE HELL UP." "IT'S NOT THAT OLD, SON," "BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM." "IN FACT, WHEN GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS ALIVE," "ALUMINUM WAS A VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE METAL." "THEY DIDN'T USE IT." " NO, I'M PRETTY SURE THIS IS OLD, POPS." " I DON'T THINK SO, RICK." " WELL, TO YOU, IT'S NOT THAT OLD." "YOU WERE PROBABLY THERE." " WATCH IT." " RICK'S ALWAYS A SMART-ASS." "IF HE'D SHUT UP AND STOP CRACKING JOKES," "HE MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING." "BUT NO, HE THINKS HE KNOWS EVERYTHING." "I'VE RAISED ONE STUBBORN MULE OF A KID." "THAT'S NOT FROM 1799, SON." "IT LOOKS TOO GOOD." " IT SAYS, "DECEMBER 14, 1799," SO I'M ASSUMING IT'S FROM 1799." " RICKY, YOU'RE TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS." " WELL, LET ME GET IT CHECKED OUT ANYWAY." "DO YOU MIND IF I GET SOMEONE IN HERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT?" " OKAY." " OKAY." "LET ME TRY AND GET SOMEONE DOWN HERE." "WE'LL SEE WHAT WE GOT GOING ON HERE." "THEN WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN MAKE A DEAL." " OKAY, APPRECIATE IT." " THANKS A LOT." "THIS COULD BE AN INTERESTING FIND." "ANYTHING GEORGE WASHINGTON IS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE," "BUT I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT" "BEFORE I CAN EVEN BEGIN TO MAKE AN OFFER." " HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?" " ALL RIGHT." " WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?" " IT'S CALLED A FLAX BOW." " OKAY." " NATIVE AMERICANS HANG THIS IN THEIR HOMES." "THIS IS THE ROOF." " OKAY." " THIS IS THE VARIOUS PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE," "AND BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS," "THIS BRINGS THEM ALL TOGETHER," "AND THEY LIVE HARMONIOUSLY IN THE HOUSE." " NOT MY FAMILY." "[laughs]" " I'M GOING INTO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY" "TO TRY AND PAWN MY FLAX BOW." "A FLAX BOW IS A NATIVE AMERICAN TOTEM" "SYMBOLIZING HARMONY IN THE HOUSE." "I AM HOPING TO PAWN THE FLAX BOW SO I CAN PICK IT BACK UP," "BECAUSE IT DOES MEAN A LOT TO ME." " SO TELL ME ABOUT THIS THING." " I PICKED IT UP IN WYOMING AT A NATIVE CRAFT SHOP." "THESE ARE BIRCHWOOD, WOVEN TOGETHER," "AND IT'S ALL HAND-CUT," "AND IT COMES INTO A FLAX FROM EACH SIDE." "IT FLOWS DOWN TOGETHER," "BRINGING ANYTHING UNDER THIS BOW HARMONY." " OKAY." " THIS COULD BRING PEACE TO YOUR PAWN SHOP WHILE IT'S HERE." " I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE." " YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE FAITH EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE." " ACTUALLY, THIS THING'S BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES," "AND I STILL WANT TO KICK HIS ASS, SO..." " IT'S NOT, LIKE, AN INSTANT CURE." "THERE'S A FLOW OF ENERGY, AND YOU WILL BOND TOGETHER." " I WISH I HAD THIS WHEN COREY WAS A TEENAGER." "AS BAD AS HE IS NOW," "YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM BACK THEN." "THERE'S A REASON I LOST MY HAIR." " YOU GUYS COULD HANG IT UP SOMEWHERE" "AND SEE IF IT WORKS OR NOT." " MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY IT." "WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT?" " I'D JUST LIKE TO PAWN IT." " OKAY." "HOW MUCH DID YOU WANT TO BORROW?" " $80." " UM..." "I RESPECT THE FACT THAT THIS HAS, LIKE," "SOME SORT OF DEEP MEANING TO YOU," "BUT I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT," "AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S WORTH." "I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WORTH 500 BUCKS" "OR IF IT'S WORTH 5 BUCKS." "BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH ME, IT'S ABOUT MONEY." "IT'S NOT ABOUT BELIEFS." "THAT'S JUST THE WAY WE OPERATE AROUND HERE." " I UNDERSTAND." " I HAVE A FRIEND WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT THIS STUFF." "LET ME SEE IF I CAN CALL HER UP, GET HER IN HERE." "SHE CAN EXPLAIN IT TO ME." "SHE'LL TELL ME IF IT'S WORTH ANY MONEY," "AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO." " OKAY." "SOUNDS GOOD." " ALL RIGHT, LET ME GIVE HER A CALL." " OKAY, THANK YOU." "THESE GUYS ARE CONFUSED" "ABOUT WHAT THIS FLAX BOW CAN AND CAN'T DO," "SO HONEST APPRAISAL FROM AN EXPERT," "MAYBE IT'LL HELP HIM OUT." " AS PEOPLE DISCOVERED HOW RARE THEY ARE," "THESE HAVE GONE UP TREMENDOUSLY IN VALUE," "BUT THERE ARE FAKES AND REPRODUCTIONS." "SO I WOULD BE REALLY HESITANT." "IT ALMOST LOOKS BRAND-NEW." " IT'S GOT SOME REALLY COOL MECHANICS IN IT," "I'LL TELL YOU THAT." "EVERYTHING WORKS ON IT?" " EVERYTHING WORKS ON IT." " ALL RIGHT, GIVE IT A SHOT, CHUM." " THING'S OBVIOUSLY BROKEN." " EARLIER TODAY, A GUY TRIED TO PAWN" "WHAT HE CALLED A FLAX BOW." "IT'S SOMETHING I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH," "SO I CALLED IN MY FRIEND CHRISTINA," "WHO'S AN EXPERT IN NATIVE AMERICAN ART AND CULTURE," "TO TAKE A LOOK." " I SPECIALIZE IN NATIVE AMERICAN ART" "AND OWN A NATIVE AMERICAN ART GALLERY HERE IN TOWN." "IT'S CALLED A FLAX BOW, AND IT'S QUITE UNIQUE, HONESTLY." " CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS WORKS?" " THE FLAX BOW IS CREATED" "BY A MEDICINE MAN OR MEDICINE WOMAN" "WHO HAS THE TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AS HOW TO COMPOSE IT." "IT'S BASICALLY FOR HARMONY IN THE HOUSEHOLD." "YOU HANG IT IN THE CORRIDOR IN THE ENTRANCE AREA." "IT BRINGS TOGETHER THE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL" "AND THEIR UNIQUE COMMUNICATION STYLES" "TO ONE UNIQUE ENTITY." "SO YOU HAVE SYMMETRY, SO THERE'S LESS FIGHTING," "LESS ARGUMENT BUT MORE LISTENING AND UNDERSTANDING." "I ACTUALLY HAVE A FLAX BOW HANGING IN MY HOUSE," "AND FROM MY EXPERIENCE, IT HELPS HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING," "AND I'M WORKING ON PATIENCE." " DO YOU THINK IT'S REAL?" " UH-HUH." "IT'S ORIGINAL." "WITH THE ELEMENTS THAT IT HAS," "IT'S CREATED IN THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITION." "SO IT'S A REALLY INTERESTING, UNIQUE PIECE." " WHAT'S IT WORTH?" " I'VE DEALT WITH THESE ITEMS FOR A WHILE NOW," "AND I HAVE ACTUALLY SOLD FLAX BOWS IN MY ART GALLERY" "OVER THE YEARS," "AND IT'S WORTH AROUND $60 TO $100." " OKAY." "THANKS FOR COMING IN, CHRISTINA." "I REALLY APPRECIATE IT." " MY PLEASURE." " NOW THAT I HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS THING IS WORTH," "I'M MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE DOING A PAWN ON IT." "I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A BAD DEAL, BUT TO BE HONEST," "I'M CURIOUS AS HELL AS TO WHETHER THIS THING WORKS OR NOT." "ALL RIGHT, SO, UM, I'LL LOAN YOU 40 BUCKS." " OKAY." " ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO WRITE IT UP." "COME ON." " ALL RIGHT." "I WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE FROM HIM," "BUT I WILL DEFINITELY COME BACK FOR MY FLAX BOW," "BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT WORKS, AND IT DOES MEAN A LOT TO ME." " HEY, WHAT'S UP, MAN?" "WHAT YOU GOT?" " THIS IS A VINTAGE" " TV DINNER TRAY." " NO," "THIS IS A VINTAGE COCA-COLA SIGN." " CAN I CHECK IT OUT?" " YEAH." " BIG HOSS, YOU COULD BRING ME BREAKFAST IN BED ON THAT THING." " I DECIDED TO COME TO THE PAWN SHOP TODAY" "TO TRY AND SELL MY OLD COCA-COLA ARTWORK." "THIS PIECE IS REALLY OLD, PROBABLY FROM THE EARLY 1900s," "AND THE PICTURE IS STILL PERFECT." "I WOULD LOVE TO GET $500 FOR THIS THING," "BUT REALLY I WOULD TAKE ANYTHING OVER 100 BUCKS." " WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?" " I GOT THIS FROM MY GRANDMA'S ATTIC," "SO I THINK IT'S PRETTY OLD." "I THINK THAT IT'S FROM AROUND THE 1900s." " I MEAN, THE WOOD IS DEFINITELY OLD." "I MEAN, COCA-COLA WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COMPANIES" "TO ACTUALLY DO A LOT OF ADVERTISING." "I MEAN, THEY'D ACTUALLY DO A LOT OF PRINT ADS." "THEY WOULD ONLY USE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN." "COCA-COLA KIND OF PIONEERED ALL THAT STUFF." " SO WAS THIS WOMAN CONSIDERED HOT BACK IN THE DAY?" " BACK IN THE DAY, SHE WAS." "I MEAN, BACK THEN, YOU WANTED A GIRL WHO COULD PULL A PLOW." "COCA-COLA USED THIS PICTURE" "FOR ONE OF THEIR FIRST MAJOR AD CAMPAIGNS," "AND IT BECAME ONE OF THEIR MOST ICONIC IMAGES." "IT'S IN TERRIFIC SHAPE," "AND THERE'S A HUGE MARKET FOR VINTAGE COKE PRODUCTS." "IT'S A NO-BRAINER." "SO HOW MUCH ARE YOU LOOKING TO GET FOR IT?" " I WAS HOPING TO GET $500." " YEAH, I'D PASS AT $500." "TOO MUCH FOR ME." " HOW ABOUT $450?" " I'M KIND OF LOOKING AROUND $150." " HOW ABOUT $300?" " YOU'RE STILL TOO HIGH." "MY THING IS, I REALLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT'S WORTH." "I'M JUST KIND OF TAKING A SHOT IN THE DARK HERE." "I'LL DO $200." " YOU KNOW WHAT?" "I THINK I'LL TAKE IT." " ALL RIGHT, THANKS, MAN." " THANK YOU." " CHUM, YOU WANT TO WRITE THIS UP?" " OKAY." " I'M REALLY HAPPY WE WERE ABLE TO GET THIS THING," "AND I KNOW I CAN MAKE A PROFIT ON THIS." "I GUARANTEE IT." " EARLIER TODAY, I GUY CAME IN WITH A COIN THAT HE CLAIMED" "WAS FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FUNERAL PROCESSION." "THE OLD MAN HAD A CONCERN THAT THE METAL" "WASN'T COMMON FOR THE PERIOD." "MY CONCERN WAS, THERE WAS A HOLE DRILLED IN IT." "SO I CALLED MY BUDDY DANA TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK." " I'M PRESIDENT OF EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY AUCTIONS." "I'M AN EXPERT IN EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY, CURRENCY," "AMERICANA, AUTOGRAPHS, AND COLONIAL HISTORICAL ITEMS." "SO, RICK, WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PIECE?" " QUITE FRANKLY, I JUST KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT." "I MEAN, I HAVE IDEA WHAT IT'S WORTH, WHERE IT'S FROM," "ANYTHING LIKE THAT." " WELL, THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED" "A GEORGE WASHINGTON FUNERAL MEDAL." "THEY HAD THESE MEDALS MADE IN 1800 RIGHT AFTER HE DIED," "AND PEOPLE WOULD WEAR THESE, ACTUALLY." "YOU NOTICE THERE'S A SMALL HOLE HERE, RICK?" " YEAH." " IT WAS MADE TO HAVE A HOLE." "BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD THEN PUT A STRING OR A RIBBON THROUGH IT" "AND THEN WEAR IT IN COMMEMORATION." " THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE." "AS NEWS SPREAD OF WASHINGTON'S DEATH," "CITIES AND TOWNS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY" "HELD MEMORIAL SERVICES." "HE WAS THAT LOVED BY THE PEOPLE, AND HE STILL IS." " MY CONCERN IS, IS IT THAT OLD," "OR IS IT A REPRODUCTION OF ONE THAT WAS MADE BACK IN THAT DAY?" " WELL, IT'S GOOD FOR YOU TO QUESTION THAT," "BECAUSE IT ALMOST LOOKS BRAND-NEW." "IT'S GOT A LOT OF LUSTER AND SHINE AND BRILLIANCE TO IT." "IT'S REALLY NEAR-MINT STATE, AS FAR AS I COULD TELL." "AND THERE'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF WEAR ON THE COIN ITSELF." "IN MY OPINION, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY..." "UM..." "RIGHTEOUS." "IT'S TOTALLY LEGITIMATE." "IT'S AUTHENTIC." "IT'S IN GREAT CONDITION." "I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS METAL." "I'VE HANDLED A NUMBER OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS," "SO I KNEW THAT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC." "THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST HISTORIC AND EARLIEST MEDALS" "ABOUT THE FUNERAL OF GEORGE WASHINGTON." "IT'S REALLY A GREAT PIECE." " SO, DANA, WHAT IS IT WORTH?" " WELL, IN THIS QUALITY," "I THINK THAT I WOULD PUT AN ESTIMATE RANGE OF SOMEWHERE" "IN THE $4,000 TO $5,000 CATEGORY." " REALLY?" "THAT'S AWESOME." " THANKS A LOT, DANA." "REALLY APPRECIATE IT." " WELL, YOU'RE VERY WELCOME." " THANKS, DANA." " NOW THAT I KNOW HOW SPECIAL THIS COIN REALLY IS," "I WANT IT EVEN MORE." "BUT ME AND THE OLD MAN HAVE TO GET IT FOR THE RIGHT PRICE." " SO WHAT ARE YOU WANTING TO DO WITH THIS, GUY?" "DO YOU WANT TO SELL IT?" "YOU WANT TO PAWN IT?" "YOU WANT TO BORROW SOME MONEY AGAINST IT?" "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?" " I'D LIKE TO SELL IT." " WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR IT?" " WELL, HE SAID IT WAS WORTH $4,000 TO $5,000," "SO I WAS THINKING $4,000." " NO." " NO?" " NOT ONLY NO BUT HELL, NO." "THAT AIN'T GOING TO WORK." "I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU." "I'LL GIVE YOU 2 GRAND FOR IT." "I DON'T WANT TO GO NO HIGHER ON THIS." " OKAY." " SO YOU GOT 2 GRAND." " 2 GRAND?" " 2 GRAND." "AND I THINK THAT'S A FAIR PRICE." " HOW ABOUT $2,500?" " HOW ABOUT $1,500?" " GOD, I LOVE YOU, DAD." " OF COURSE YOU DO." "EVERYBODY DOES." " $2,500'S A FAIR PRICE." " THANKS." " OKAY, ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO DO SOME PAPERWORK." " ALL RIGHT." "I SETTLED FOR $2,500." "IT'S A GREAT DEAL." "I WAS EXPECTING 200 TO 300 BUCKS." "I'M PSYCHED." " WHO BOUGHT THIS?" " TAKE A GUESS." " IT'S FAKE." " I CAN TELL THAT FROM HERE, SON." "IT'S COREY OR CHUMLEE." "I DON'T KNOW WHICH." "YOU MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO THEM." " COREY, CHUM." " WHAT'S UP, POP?" " DID YOU BUY THIS?" " YEAH, I BOUGHT IT." " IT'S NOT REAL." " I'M SORRY, GUYS." "YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT OF MY PAYCHECK IF YOU WANT." " NO, NO." "IT'S LESSON LEARNED." " COREY, I'LL GIVE YOU AN "A" FOR TRYING," "BUT WHEN YOU GOT SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JUST BRING IT TO US," "AND WE'LL HELP YOU WITH IT." "BE A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL." " ALL RIGHT." " GO HIT IT, BOYS." " THIS MORNING, A GUY CALLED THE SHOP," "AND HE'S GOT AN ANTIQUE CORN SHUCKER FOR SALE." "I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN ONE," "SO CHUM AND I ARE ON OUR WAY OVER" "TO HIS HOUSE TO CHECK IT OUT." "HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?" " GOOD." "HOW ARE YOU GUYS TODAY?" " I'M DOING GREAT." " GOOD." " SO WHAT DO WE GOT HERE?" " A CORN SHUCKER." " A CORN SHUCKER." " A CORN SHUCKER." " WHAT'S A CORN SHUCKER?" " IT SHUCKS THE CORN." "YOU FEED IT IN HERE, YOU TURN THE WHEEL," "IT CLEANS THE KERNEL, AND IT DROPS OUT THE COB," "CLEAN AS A WHISTLE." "AND THE COBS, THEY FED TO THE PIGS," "AND THEY LOVED 'EM." "I CALLED THESE HERE GUYS AT THE PAWN SHOP," "AND I ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED" "IN BUYING MY CORN SHUCKER." "TO BE A CORN SHUCKER, YOU NEED MUSCLE TO TURN THAT WHEEL." "THAT'S HOW THESE KIDS BECOME BIG ON THE FARMS." " WHEN I WAS A KID, MY GRANDMA USED TO MAKE US SIT AROUND" "BEFORE DINNER AND SHUCK THE CORN OURSELVES," "BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE NO MACHINE." "WE JUST HAD OUR HANDS." " THAT WAS BEFORE AUTOMATION." " THIS WASN'T A KITCHEN APPLIANCE USED TO MAKE DINNER." "THEY RAN THOUSANDS OF EARS OF CORN THROUGH THIS THING" "IN A DAY." "IT SAVED HOURS AND HOURS, AND HOURS EQUAL DOLLARS." "IT'S GOT SOME REALLY COOL MECHANICS IN IT," "I'LL TELL YOU THAT." "BUT, MY GOD, CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOU PUT YOUR HAND IN THERE?" " THEY WOULD HAVE THAT HAND NO MORE." " THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE MEDIEVAL TORTURE DEVICE IN THERE." "OH, MY GOD." "SO DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD THIS THING IS?" " I'D SAY IT'S FROM THE '20s OR '30s." " ALL RIGHT, AND EVERYTHING WORKS ON IT?" " LAST TIME I TRIED IT, EVERYTHING WORKED." " HOW MUCH CORN COULD A CORN SHUCKER SHUCK" "IF A CORN SHUCKER COULD SHUCK CORN?" " DEPENDING ON HOW STRONG YOU ARE." " ALL RIGHT, GIVE IT A SHOT, CHUM." " ALL RIGHT." "[handle squeaking]" " KEEP GOING." "KEEP GOING." "KEEP GOING." "YOU GOT TO KEEP GOING." " CHUM, LET ME GET IN THERE." "LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE." " I CAN GET IT." "YOU WANT ME TO GET IT?" " NO, I GOT IT." "HERE WE GO." "HERE WE GO." "JUST DROP THAT IN THERE WHEN WE'RE READY." "LET ME GET THE THING UP TO SPEED." " OH, WOW." "OH, YOU'RE REALLY GETTING IT NOW." " OKAY." "[laughter]" " DAMN, THAT'S SOME REAL CORN SHUCKING THERE." " UM, YEAH." " THINK I'M GOING TO CALL THE STATE FAIR" "AND ENTER YOU IN THE CORN SHUCKING CONTEST." " I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO DRIVE BACK TO THE PAWN SHOP" "IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK." " OKAY." " THIS THING IS COOL." "IT'S GOOD OLD-FASHIONED AMERICAN ENGINEERING." "IT'S BUILT TO LAST." "BUT TO GET IT TO WORK, YOU NEED A LOT OF MUSCLE AND GRIT." "WHAT DID YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT?" " I WANT TO SELL IT." "I'D LIKE TO SELL IT." " UM, I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL," "AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE IT IN MY SHOP," "BUT MY BIG PROBLEM HERE IS," "IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO HAVE IN MY SHOP." "I MEAN, IF SOME KID STICKS HIS HAND IN THERE" "AND SOMEONE TURNS THAT CRANK, I'M OUT OF BUSINESS." "I WOULDN'T OWN A PAWN SHOP ANYMORE." "I MEAN, IT'S REALLY NEAT, AND IT'S GOT SOME VALUE TO IT," "BUT IT'S MORE OF A LIABILITY THAN IT IS AN ASSET TO ME." "THERE'S JUST NOTHING I COULD DO WITH IT." "WELL, THANKS FOR SHOWING IT TO ME." " HEY, MY PLEASURE." " I CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS IS THE FIRST CORN SHUCKER" "I'VE EVER SEEN." "COME ON, CHUM." " THANK YOU VERY MUCH." " NO PROBLEM, MAN." " I COULDN'T MAKE A DEAL, BUT THAT DON'T BOTHER ME." "THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW." "OH, YEAH." "I'LL SELL IT SOMEPLACE." "I'M ONE OF THE BEST SALESMEN THERE IS." " HEY, HOW'S IT GOING?" " CAME IN TO PICK UP MY PAWN." " FLAX BOW, RIGHT?" " YES, CORRECT." " PAWNING AN ITEM IS THE SIMPLEST FORM OF CREDIT." "YOU GIVE US AN ITEM THAT WE TAKE AS COLLATERAL," "AND THEN WE GIVE YOU MONEY FOR IT," "AND YOU PAY US BACK WITH INTEREST," "AND THEN YOU GET YOUR ITEM BACK." "HERE YOU GO." "YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY, BOSS." " OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH." "[crash] - [bleep] DAMN IT." " COREY." " COREY!" "IF THE PLACE WASN'T SO CLUTTERED," "THIS STUFF WOULDN'T HAPPEN." " YOU HAD HIM, RICK, NOT ME." " [bleep] OFF, BOTH OF YOU." " GET THE DAMN PLACE CLEANED UP." " BOTH OF Y'ALL SHUT THE HELL UP," "AND LET'S GET SOME WORK DONE AROUND HERE." " LET'S GO GET SOME POPCORN AND A BEER."
