BRAD: I'm selling a limited edition animation

cel of "Tennessee Tuxedo," featuring

Stanley, the zookeeper, Tennessee Tuxedo, and--

COREY: --Chumley the walrus.

Well, I can definitely see now how you got the name, Chumlee.

CHUMLEE: Spitting image.

BRAD: I came to the pawn shop today

to sell a limited edition "Tennessee

Tuxedo" animation cel.

I'm hoping to get $350 for it.

I want to sell it because I just bought an engagement ring.

I'm hoping she says yes, but we'll see.

COREY: So how'd you get it?

I bought it online from a dealer a few years ago.

COREY: All right.

Well, "Tennessee Tuxedo" has always been

pretty popular around here.

Tennessee was a penguin that lived in the zoo

and was always coming up with ways to try to break out,

and Chumley would inevitably screw it up.

BRAD: Exactly.

COREY: It's just like our pawn shop.

I'm Tennessee Tuxedo, trying to run a business,

and a guy named Chumlee is screwing it up.

And the zookeeper always reminded me

a little bit of my grandfather.

Just always kind of angry and yelling at Chumley.

Well, I could definitely see the resemblance.

Tennessee Tuxedo came out the early 1960s

and only ran for like three seasons.

But it kind of became a sleeper hit.

There was reruns on TV up until the 1980s.

Can I see this cel?

BRAD: Sure.

You got anything with it.

BRAD: There's a seal right there.

All right, now, is this a reproduction?

Because it says 1993 on it.

The cartoons were made in the early '60s.

BRAD: It's a reproduction, but it's a limited edition.

It's signed by executive producer Peter Piech.

CHUMLEE: No one ever cares about the executive producer.

[chuckling]

COREY: In 1993, they probably went around,

and who's still alive that we could tie to "Tennessee Tuxedo"

and had him sign a bunch of them.

Right.

I mean, the only reason I'm going to buy it is because I'm

going to hang it above my desk because my best

friend's Chumlee.

Corey acts like I get on his nerves,

but I knew he had a soft spot for me.

So what do you want to do with it?

I'd like to sell it.

Any idea what you're looking to get out of it?

I was hoping to get $350 for it.

$350?

I deal with thousands of production cels a year.

And in my experience, I'd say it'd be worth about $300.

So that being said, man, I'll give you around $200.

Could you do $275?

It's limited edition, so there aren't that many out there.

COREY: I'll split it with you and go $250.

Don't ask for any more because I'm not going to pay it.

I can do $250.

All right, man, deal.

$250 is fine.

It doesn't pay for the engagement ring,

but it definitely pays for the taxes of it.

COREY: Check this out, Pops.

It's pretty cool.

What's the cartoon?

What is it?

COREY: Chumley the walrus, Tennessee

Tuxedo, and Stanley Livingston.

I like it because it reminds me of Chum,

myself, and The Old Man.

RICK: I think it's stupid, and it's never

going to be worth anything.

Don't be mad because you don't have a cartoon of yourself.

Why would I want a cartoon of myself?

COREY: Because you're the most vain,

egotistical person I know.

And we all have a cartoon that represents us,

and you're not in it.

I don't think Rick likes it too much when he's

not the center of attention.

RICK: It was bad animation when it was made.

Corey, he's jealous.

Figures my dad would get jealous over a cartoon,

but I think I found a way of including him

that will make him feel better.

RICHARD: Go hang it in Rick's office.

[cash register ding]

COREY: Here, Pops.

Look what I got for you.

Noticed you were a little hurt about not being included

in the whole cartoon thing, so I went ahead

and found Professor Whoopie here,

you know, the bald, know-it-all professor that Tennessee

would always ask for advice.

I added it into the picture for you.

In a Pawn Shop shirt?

Yeah, I customized it for you.

RICK: How in the world is that me?

Well, he's got short, stubby legs.

He's bald.

He's got kind of a potbelly.

He's a know-it-all, puffy cheeks.

If his head was a little bit bigger,

he'd be a perfect match for you, son.

[chuckling]

Why are you doing this to me?

COREY: Doing what?

You're finally a cartoon character.

All I know is if you guys start calling me Whoopie,

I will fire you.

Get that thing out of my face and get back to work.

Whatever you say, Professor Whoopie.

RICHARD: You have to admit, Rick, they got you good.

RICK: They didn't get me on anything.

RICHARD: They got you.
