male announcer: ON THIS EPISODE
OF<i> CAJUN PAWN STARS...</i> TODAY THE GUYS HIT THE BACKWOODS TO HELP A FRIEND PAWN SOMETHING
A LITTLE UNUSUAL. - YOU GOT SOME
BEAUTIFUL DONKEYS. YOU WANT TO JUST MAKE
A LITTLE LOAN AGAINST 'EM? - YEAH, I'D LIKE TO HAVE $3,000. announcer: A SHOP REGULAR BRINGS
IN SOMETHING OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD. - IT'S AN ALIEN. LOOK! - YOU ARE OUT YOUR DAMN MIND. - IF YOU TURN IT AROUND AND
LOOK, HE HAS NO BUTT CRACK. announcer: AND JIMMIE COMES
FACE-TO-FACE WITH THE MOST VALUABLE ITEM
TO EVER WALK THROUGH THE DOORS. - I WANT TO AT LEAST
MAKE YOU AN OFFER TO BUY. - IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN OFFER THAT WOULD SKIN EVERY CAT
IN THE ALLEY. - $500,000. I'M JIMMIE DERAMUS. FOLKS CALL ME BIG DADDY. MY FAMILY'S BEEN IN LOUISIANA
SINCE BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR. TODAY WE RUN ONE OF THE LARGEST
PAWN SHOPS IN THE SOUTH. WHERE I LIVE,
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BUSINESS AS USUAL. [gunshot] - I GOT SOME GATOR.
I GOT SOME RACCOON. WHICH ONE WE GONNA COOK? - I'LL BUY AND SELL ANYTHING... - THIS WOULD BE
A MILLION-DOLLAR COLLECTION TO ME. - AND BY THAT,
I MEAN ANYTHING. [donkey hee-hawing] ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S UNIQUE
ABOUT MY BUSINESS IS ANIMALS. I BUY 'EM, I SELL 'EM,
AND I PAWN 'EM. THAT CAN MAKE THINGS REALLY
INTERESTING. OVER THE YEARS,
I'VE BOUGHT PIGS, I'VE BOUGHT DONKEYS,
I'VE BOUGHT GOATS, AND I'VE EVEN BOUGHT A ZEBRA. I'M ON MY WAY NOW TO SEE
MY FRIEND GERALD. HE'S GOT SOME LIVESTOCK
HE WANTS ME TO CHECK OUT. I'M BRINGING MY DAUGHTER,
TAMMIE, WHO MADE HER FIRST PAWN
WHEN SHE WAS NINE YEARS OLD, SO SHE KNOWS ALL THE INS
AND OUTS OF THE BUSINESS. - JIMMIE. - MAN, LET ME TELL YOU. MY HANDS HAVE BEEN THERE,
AND A LOT WORSE THAN THAT. YOU KNOW?
- I KNOW. I ASKED MR. JIMMIE
FROM SILVER DOLLAR PAWN TO COME DOWN AND GIVE ME
A LOAN ON SOME OF MY DONKEYS. I BEEN DOING THIS
SINCE I WAS SIX YEARS OLD. THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT HERE: WE'RE LOUISIANANS FIRST AND UNITED STATES
CITIZENS SECOND. - OKAY, MR. GERALD. ABOUT HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE? - WE HAVE ROUGHLY ABOUT 40. THEY HAVE THE PERFECT CRUCIFIX
ON THAT BACK. WE ALL CALL THEM JESUS DONKEYS. JESUS RODE THAT DONKEY FROM NAZARETH. - IT'S IN THE BIBLE. - IT'S IN THE BIBLE. BASICALLY, WHAT WE USE
THE BULK OF 'EM FOR IS PROTECTION FROM THE COYOTES. THESE DONKEYS
ACTUALLY RUN 'EM OFF BECAUSE THEY GET
VERY TERRITORIAL. - MOST PEOPLE THINK
THAT DONKEYS ARE DUMB, OKAY? - NO, THAT'S-- - BUT THAT'S PEOPLE
WHO DON'T KNOW DONKEYS. - RIGHT. - BECAUSE THEY'RE EXTREMELY
SMART. I USED TO DO
ALL THE DONKEY BASKETBALL GAMES DOWN IN THIS COUNTRY. HERE YOU HAVE TO NEGOTIATE
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BECAUSE THESE AREN'T STRANGERS. THESE ARE NEIGHBORS, SO YOU GOT TO DO
THE NEIGHBORLY THING: MAKE A LITTLE CONVERSATION
BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO THE DEAL. I COULD TAKE ONE DONKEY, MAKE
HIM TOUCH HIS NOSE TO THE FLOOR, HE WOULD PUT HIS HEAD
BETWEEN HIS FRONT LEGS, BUT I HAD A GUY SITTING
ON THE BACK OF HIM. WELL, THAT'S RIDING A FAT HOG. AIN'T NOBODY CAN STAY
ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND HE'D HIT THE FLOOR, AND THEN
THEY'D COME OUT OF THE CHAIR. - SO WHATCHA TRYIN' TO DO
WITH 'EM? - WE'D LIKE TO GET A LOAN ON 'EM OR A PAWN, WHICH IS BOTH ABOUT THE SAME. - YEAH, IT IS THE SAME. I'M JUST LOANING YOU MONEY
ON YOUR-- - RIGHT. - TAKING IN A HERD OF DONKEYS IS NOT LIKE A DIAMOND RING. YOU CAN'T JUST PUT IT
IN THE VAULT. I HAVE TO FACTOR IN FEEDING
AND MAINTAINING 'EM FOR UP TO THREE MONTHS UNTIL GERALD CAN COME BACK
AND GET 'EM. SO THAT'S GONNA AFFECT MY OFFER. - I'D LIKE TO HAVE $3,000 'CAUSE I'D LIKE TO SEND MY
GRANDCHILD TO DANCE CLASS IN NEW YORK CITY. - YOU GOT SOME BEAUTIFUL STOCK, BUT, YOU KNOW, WITH THE ECONOMY
LIKE IT IS, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY
DUMPING THEIR BETTER LIVESTOCK NOW BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FEED IT--
- RIGHT. AND, I MEAN, I'D RATHER JUST GO
AHEAD AND PAWN THE WHOLE BUNCH IF YOU'D BE FEEDING 'EM AND
HOUSING 'EM AND EVERYTHING ELSE. - WE'RE SURROUNDED BY PASTURES, SO PAWNING AND SELLING LIVESTOCK
LIKE THESE DONKEYS IS AN IMPORTANT PART
OF MY BUSINESS. WE HAVE A FARM AND LARGE BARN, SO WE CAN TAKE CARE
OF ALL THE ANIMALS WE ACQUIRE UNTIL WE SELL 'EM OR UNTIL THE
OWNERS COME BACK TO PICK 'EM UP. UH, I'M LOOKING AT ABOUT 1,500. - HM. THAT WOULD BE REAL TIGHT. THERE WOULDN'T BE
NO WAY POSSIBLE WE CAN MAYBE HIT AROUND 2,500? I KNOW THE COLTS ARE NOT WORTH
AS MUCH, BUT HE'S GOT SOME HEAVY JENNIES
THAT HAVEN'T DROPPED TOO. - HE'S GOT SOME HEAVY JENNIES
THAT HADN'T DROPPED. I SAW THAT. - SO IT'S ALL GONNA AVERAGE OUT. - I KNOW. - WOULD $2,000 HELP YOU? - OH, I MEAN,
IF YOU DON'T HAVE BISCUITS, CORNBREAD'LL DO, YOU KNOW? ANYTHING WOULD HELP. THAT MEANS YOU GOT TO EAT
A LOT OF BOLOGNA SANDWICHES, YOU KNOW, BUT SOMETIMES YOU GOT
TO DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO. AT $2,000,
SHE'D PROBABLY MAKE IT. LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A DEAL.
- WE GOT A DEAL, MY FRIEND. LIKE WE DO IT IN LOUISIANA. - OH, YEAH, WE GOT TO-- EVERYBODY GOT TO END UP HAPPY. - I HOPE GERALD CAN PAY ME BACK
FOR THESE DONKEYS, BUT IF HE DOESN'T,
RANCHERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO BUY DONKEYS
TO PROTECT THEIR LIVESTOCK. AND WITH THE ECONOMY
THE WAY IT IS, I CAN SELL 'EM CHEAPER
THAN THE BREEDERS CAN, AND I CAN STILL MAKE A PROFIT. I TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO. I DON'T WANT TO TRY TO MOVE 'EM
IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY, SO MAYBE TOMORROW,
MAYBE THE NEXT MORNING EARLY, WE'LL GIVE YOU A CALL. - GET 'EM PICKED UP FOR YOU. LET YOU KNOW, OKAY? - MY WAY OF NEGOTIATING
IS NOT JUMPING IN WITH A FIERCE COUNTER OFFER. IT'S KIND OF A LIKE A DANCE. BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE SMILING
AT THE END. BUT MY JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
I'M SMILING JUST A LITTLE MORE. WE KNOW MOST EVERYBODY
AROUND HERE, BUT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN,
A STRANGER CAN WALK IN WITH AN ITEM THAT COULD TURN
OUR BUSINESS UPSIDE DOWN. HEY.
WHATCHA GOT FOR US? - WELL, I'D LIKE FOR YOU
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE. - I'VE NEVER SEEN
A $10,000 NOTE BEFORE. - WOW. THIS IS BROTHER-SISTER PAIR. - AND I HAVE ANOTHER ONE
OF THOSE. - ANOTHER PAIR? - ANOTHER PAIR. - I'M GETTING COLD CHILLS. UH... - I CAME DOWN
TO SILVER DOLLAR TODAY TO PAWN MY BROTHER-SISTER $5,000
AND $10,000 BILLS. AND THERE ARE NO OTHER
BROTHER-SISTER PAIRS IN EXISTENCE TODAY
ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. - DUMB QUESTION:
WHAT IS A BROTHER-SISTER PAIR? - PEOPLE THINK THAT JOHNNIE
IS A SON OF MINE. HE'S ACTUALLY MY BROTHER, AND THERE'S 20 YEARS' DIFFERENCE
IN OUR AGES. WHEN I WAS GETTING MARRIED,
I WAS TEACHING HIM TO WALK. IT WAS A NO-BRAINER BRINGING HIM
INTO THE BUSINESS. - IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PAIR
OF BILLS, IT'S A $5,000 BILL. WHAT IS THE SERIAL NUMBER? "42A." THIS IS A $10,000 BILL. WHAT IS THE SERIAL NUMBER? "42A." THAT IS
THE BROTHER-SISTER BILLS. I DON'T KNOW THIS GUY,
BUT EVERYBODY DOWN SOUTH KNOWS THAT IF YOU NEED QUICK CASH,
I'M THE GUY TO SEE. AND IF THESE ARE
WHAT THEY SAYS THEY ARE, THESE ARE
THE MOST VALUABLE THINGS THAT HAVE EVER
WALKED INTO MY SHOP. PRESIDENT NIXON WANTED
TO GET RID OF ALL THE LARGE-DENOMINATION
BILLS. - WHY WAS THAT? - BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING
TO ATTACK THE DRUG TRADE. HE DIDN'T WANT YOU TO BE ABLE
TO TAKE FIVE $10,000 BILLS AND HAVE $50,000
GO OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND BRING DRUGS BACK WITH IT HE FIGURED THAT IF THE LARGEST
DENOMINATION BILL WAS $100 BILL, YOU'D AT LEAST HAVE
TO HAVE A SUITCASE. - RIGHT. - A $5,000 BILL
IN THIS CONDITION BY ITSELF IS ABOUT 100 GRAND. WHEN YOU HAVE
THE BROTHER-SISTERS, YOU'RE LOOKING AT
AT LEAST $750,000 WORTH OF BILLS LAYING HERE. - I'M JUST SCARED BEING IN
THE PRESENCE OF BILLS LIKE THIS WITH THE VALUES THAT THESE ARE. I CAN JUST IMAGINE
WHAT YOU MUST FEEL LIKE CARRYING AROUND A $10,000 BILL. - SOMETHING LIKE
A LONG-TAILED CAT IN A ROOM
FULL OF ROCKING CHAIRS. - WHO'S ON THE BILLS? - WELL, ON THE 5,000
IS FORMER PRESIDENT MADISON. - OKAY. - AND ON THE 10,000
IS SALMON P. CHASE. SALMON P. CHASE WAS
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY DURING THE CIVIL WAR. - WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU? - I NEED SOME QUICK CASH. MADE A BIG INVENTORY PURCHASE
EARLIER IN THE MONTH, BUT LEFT ME A LITTLE SHORT
ON CASH, SO I'D LIKE TO KEEP MY EMPLOYEES AND MAKE SURE THAT I CAN MAKE
PAYROLL THIS MONTH. I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A BANK. I DON'T WANT TO DO
ORIGINATION FEES AND EVERYTHING, AND I'D LIKE TO USE THEM
AS COLLATERAL. - HOW MUCH ARE YOU NEEDING
TO BORROW? - UH, 'BOUT 20,000. - $20,000 IS NOT A PROBLEM
ON A LOAN. I WANT TO AT LEAST
MAKE YOU AN OFFER TO BUY 'EM. - IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AND OFFER THAT WOULD SKIN EVERY CAT
IN THE ALLEY. - I'M PROUD OF ALL THE ITEMS
THAT I HAVE IN MY SHOP, BUT THIS MIGHT BE THE RAREST
ITEM I'VE SEEN IN 27 YEARS, AND I WANT IT. $500,000. YOU HAVE A BONNIE AND CLYDE CAR. - HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING YOU
COULD THROW IN IF YOU TRADE? AN ALLIGATOR
OR A GOAT AND A MULE? - [sighs] - AND I DIDN'T SMILE. IT'S NO JOKE. - NEITHER AM I, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE A MILLION-DOLLAR
COLLECTION TO ME. - EARLIER A GUY CAME IN TH THE MOST VALUABLE ITEM
I'VE EVER LAID EYES ON. HE JUST WANTS A QUICK LOAN, BUT THERE'S NO WAY
I'M GONNA LET THESE THINGS SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS, SO I'M PREPARED
TO MAKE THE BIGGEST OFFER I'VE EVER MADE. $500,000. - [sighs]
- AND I DIDN'T SMILE. IT'S NO JOKE. - AND NEITHER AM I. BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT OFFER'S
A LITTLE TOO LOW FOR ME. - OKAY.
WHAT WOULD YOU TAKE? - THIS WOULD BE A MILLION-DOLLAR
COLLECTION TO ME. - [sighs] - AND--
- I DON'T GET NERVOUS IN DEALS. - AND I'M--
- I DON'T GET NERVOUS IN DEALS. - FOLKS MAY KNOW MY BROTHER
AS A LIGHT-HEARTED GUY, BUT THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY
ABOUT THIS. JIMMIE REALLY WANTS THESE BILLS, AND HE'S GONNA DO ANYTHING
HE CAN DO TO GET 'EM. - I'LL GO 550. - 1 MILLION. - THINK ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S $550,000. - IF I CAME OFF MY MILLION, IT WOULD STILL BE
IN THE $800,000 RANGE. THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE ABOUT-- MY BOTTOM LINE
WOULD BE 800,000. - 800 IS YOUR BOTTOM?
- THAT'S MY BOTTOM. - THE ECONOMY'S NOT
WHAT IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO. - I'LL DO 575, ON IT RIGHT NOW. - UH, I APPRECIATE THE 575. I BELIEVE THEY'RE WORTH
MORE THAN THAT. I'M JUST GONNA
HAVE TO STICK WITH THE LOAN THAT WE'D TALKED ABOUT. - MAN, THE BIGGEST OFFER
OF MY LIFE, AND IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU
OF ONE THING: IF WE EVER CROSS PATHS AGAIN, I WON'T LET 'EM SLIP AWAY. OKAY, THE BASIC PREMISE IS
YOU LEAVE COLLATERAL WITH US, WE LOAN YOU MONEY
ON THAT COLLATERAL. - OKAY. - YOU HAVE THREE MONTHS TO COME
BACK AND REDEEM YOUR ITEMS. IF YOU CAN'T GET THEM OUT
IN THAT 90-DAY PERIOD, WE DO SOMETHING
THAT A LOT OF PLACES DON'T: YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME IN
BUY A 30-DAY EXTENSION SIMPLY BY PAYING 30 DAYS'
INTEREST. - ALL RIGHT.
- OKAY? - ALL RIGHT. - SOMETIMES WE DO HAVE
PEOPLE WHO WALK OUT THAT DOOR WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS,
BUT DON'T COME BACK. - RIGHT.
- OKAY? - RIGHT. - WHAT I CAN DO IS THIS: I CAN LOAN YOU $20,000
JUST ON ONE PAIR. - $20,000.
- ALL RIGHT. - GOOD DEAL.
LET'S GO GET YOU SOME MONEY. - FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU. - EVERY PAWN'S A GAMBLE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE PAWN THINGS
AND NEVER COME BACK TO GET 'EM. IT'S JUST THE NATURE
OF THE BUSINESS. AND IF HE NEVER PICKS
THESE ITEMS UP, THEN I'LL BE ONE LUCKY MAN. MY SHOP IS LIKE
THE TOWN HANGOUT. IT COLLECTS ALL KINDS
OF INTERESTING THINGS AND ALL KINDS
OF INTERESTING PEOPLE. AND THEN THERE'S THOSE
REGULAR CUSTOMERS. THEY'RE A WHOLE OTHER STORY. - MORNIN', KIDS. - OH, MAN. - LOOK. IT'S AN ALIEN... FROM AREA 51. - YOU ARE OUT YOUR DAMN MIND. - DOWN HERE WE GET
A LOT OF REGULARS TRYIN' TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK,
LIKE JOKER. THAT GUY'LL BRING IN JUST ABOUT
ANYTHING HE CAN FIND. - LOOK AT HIM. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF, AND YOU HIDE IN THE CORNER
AND WATCH HIM-- - YOU HIDE IN THE CORNER NOW?
- I GUARANTEE YOU. YOU'LL WATCH LITTLE BUBBLES
COME UP. HE BURPS. - HE'S NOT ALIVE. - THEY'RE THE ONE'S SAYING THAT,
NOT ME. - I CAME
TO SILVER DOLLAR PAWN TODAY TO SELL MY ONE-OF-A-KIND ALIEN, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT I CAN GET FOR IT. IF YOU TURN IT AROUND AND LOOK,
HE HAS NO BUTT CRACK. - JOKER, THIS IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF THE WEIRDEST ITEMS THAT YOU'VE EVER BROUGHT IN, AND WE HAVE QUITE A FEW
ODD PIECES OVER HERE. - ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT HERE. THIS CAME FROM AN ACTUAL HIPPIE
THAT WORKED AT AREA 51. THAT'S WHERE THE GOVERNMENT HAS
GOT AHOLD OF A ALIEN SPACESHIP, AND THEY'RE HIDING IT
FROM THE WORLD. - IS HE SERIOUS?
- NO. AREA 51 IS NOTHING MORE THAN
A SUPER TOP SECRET MILITARY BASE WHERE THEY DESIGN NEW AIRCRAFT. IT'S HANDMADE. - HOW YOU FIGURE? - THE MAJORITY OF THE GOOD ONES ARE MADE WITH HARDENED CLAY. YOU SEE ALL THE SKIN?
- YUP. - THAT'S RUBBER CEMENT, DUDE. DO YOU KNOW HOW THEY GET IT
TO RUN? AFTER THEY PUT IT ON,
THEY WIPE IT OFF. IT MAKES LIKE
THE SKIN'S DETERIORATING. - OH, HE AIN'T RUNNING NOWHERE. - NO.
- NOT TILL THE SHIP COMES BACK. - THE CRAFTSMANSHIP
OF THIS ALIEN IS GOOD. I MEAN, IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL, AND IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER,
I'D THINK IT WAS REAL TOO. - YOU GOT A FREAK SHOW PROP. FREAK SHOWS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN
AROUND SINCE AROUND THE 1630s. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A TWO-HEADED
GOAT? - YOU EVER SEEN THIS ALIEN
IN A JAR? - FREAK SHOWS STARTED
WITH A SET OF SIAMESE TWINS. NOW THAT SCIENCE HAS TAKEN AWAY
A LOT OF THE MYSTERY, THE FREAK SHOWS
JUST MAKE STUFF UP. THIS IS A PROP DESIGNED
TO SCARE LITTLE KIDS AND GET JOKER'S MONEY. DUDE, YOU GOT TOOK AGAIN. - YOU KNOW IF JIMMIE
DON'T HAVE ONE, HE WANTS ONE. - JIMMIE AIN'T HERE. - YOU'RE NUTTIER
THAN A SQUIRREL TURD. HUSH. GIMME $200. - DUDE. 15 BUCKS. 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I CAN BUY 'EM
FOR ON THE INTERNET. - 15 BUCKS?
- 15 BUCKS. KIDS LOVE THINGS LIKE THIS. THAT'S WORTH 15 BUCKS TO ME. - $100. - 10. - YOU WENT DOWN FROM 15. 20 AND I LEAVE AND I DON'T
MESS WITH Y'ALL NO MORE TODAY. - LIAR.
- 7.50. - $750.
SOLD. - 7 DOLLARS AND 50 CENTS.
- COME HERE. - 'CAUSE, SEE,
THE LONGER I STAND HERE, THE MORE MONEY I'M LOSING. - $750.
- WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? - 10 BUCKS. - 10 BUCKS. - SOLD. - COME ON.
LET'S GO GET YOU SOME MONEY. - THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND
AUTHENTIC ALIEN. IT SHOULD GO FOR THOUSANDS. 10 BUCKS. - HERE YOUR NEIGHBORS AREN'T
ALWAYS JUST YOUR FRIENDS. SOMETIMES THEY'RE FAMILY, AND RIGHT NOW, I'M HEADED OVER
TO MY COUSIN CHARLES' PLACE. NOW HE HAS
A HUGE CAR COLLECTION, AND I HEARD THAT HE'S GOT
A '34 FORD V-8. THIS IS THE SAME TYPE CAR
THAT BONNIE AND CLYDE USED, AND SO I'M BRINGING MY TRAILER,
BECAUSE IF IT'S FOR SALE, I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
WITHOUT IT. WOW.
LOOK AT THIS STUFF. YOU HAVE A SHOWROOM HERE. I COLLECT ANYTHING
FROM A SHOE TO A HAT. - THERE YOU GO.
YOU'RE MY KIND OF GUY. OOH, I PLAYED THESE
IN HIGH SCHOOL. - YOU GOT 427.
'62 IMPALA. THIS VEHICLE HERE
IS CALLED "MR. BAYOU." - YOU GOT A LOT
OF MEMORABILIA TOO. I LIKE THE OLD STUFF. THERE'S THE FORD V-8. - YES, SIR.
AN OLD FORD V-8. - THAT'S WHAT I CAME TO LOOK AT. BONNIE AND CLYDE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE CARS. IN FACT, CLYDE WROTE
A LETTER TO HENRY FORD, AND HE SAID
THAT'S THE ONLY KIND OF CAR THAT HE WOULD STEAL FROM THEN ON 'CAUSE THERE WASN'T A POLICE CAR
IN SIGHT THAT COULD KEEP UP WITH HIM. [laughter] - WELL, JIMMIE CAME TODAY
TO LOOK AT MY 1934 FORD. I GOT IT FROM A FRIEND. MY WIFE SAYS I'M CRAZY. I'VE GOT 30 OR 40 CARS. LOTS OF PEOPLE LIKE TO FISH. I DON'T LIKE TO FISH. I LIKE CARS. THAT'S MY HOBBY IS THESE CARS. - THIS IS AN ICONIC CAR. BONNIE AND CLYDE ACTUALLY HAVE
A STRANGE CULT FOLLOWING BECAUSE THEY WERE LIKE
A DEPRESSION-ERA ROBIN HOOD. THEY WOULD STEAL FROM THE RICH, AND THEY WOULD ACTUALLY DISTRIBUTE IT THROUGH
NEIGHBORHOODS. SOMETIMES BY THE TIME
THEY GOT TO THEIR SAFE HOUSES, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY. PEOPLE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THAT CAR, WITH AS NARROW WHEELS AS IT HAS, WOULD HANDLE SO WELL
ON DIRT ROADS. WELL, THE REASON WAS BECAUSE ALL
THE WEIGHT IN THE BACK END. FULL OF GUNS,
AND THAT COULD GO AROUND CURVES WHEN THE POLICE WAS
OFF IN A DITCH SOMEWHERE. THEY WERE ACTUALLY KILLED
IN A CAR LIKE THIS AT ARCADIA, LOUISIANA,
70 MILES FROM HERE. BONNIE AND CLYDE
WERE NOTORIOUS CRIMINALS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, BUT TO PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA, THEY LOVED 'EM
BECAUSE OF THEIR GENEROSITY. IN FACT,
WHEN THEY WERE KILLED AND THE CAR
WAS PULLED INTO ARCADIA, PEOPLE DISMANTLED THE CAR
JUST SO THEY'D HAVE A KEEPSAKE OF BONNIE AND CLYDE. THIS IS THE BEST SPECIMEN
THAT I'VE SEEN IN 20 YEARS. AND IT'S RIGHT HERE. OUT IN THE BACKWOODS
OF LOUISIANA, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A TREASURE. AND I'MA TELL YOU WHAT. I ONLY HAVE ONE ISSUE WITH THIS. THE BONNIE AND CLYDE CAR
WAS A '34. THIS IS ACTUALLY A '36. I SPENT THE DAY OUT
AT MY COUSIN CHARLES' PLACE CHECKING OUT
THIS BONNIE AND CLYDE CAR, AND IT'S ALMOST PERFECT. ALMOST. NOW, THERE'S ONL--
I ONLY HAVE ONE ISSUE. THE BONNIE AND CLYDE CAR
WAS ACTUALLY A '34. - THIS IS A '36. ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME CAR. SAME DRIVETRAIN. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE '34 FORD
HAD SUICIDE DOORS ON IT, WHICH MEANS
THEY OPENED BACKWARDS. - THE '34s AND THE '36,
THE FRONT END, THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. - OH, SURE.
- I MEAN, IT'S EASY TO MISTAKE. - NOW I'MA TELL YOU WHAT: '34 OR '36, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY
AWESOME CAR. YOU MIND IF I--
- NO, GO RIGHT AHEAD. THE CAR DOES RUN.
- WOW. ORIGINAL FLATHEAD V-8. IT WAS THE FIRST FLATHEAD V-8 THAT WAS EVER PUT
IN A NORMAL-SIZED CAR. AND IT JUST TOTALLY OUTPERFORMED
EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE ROAD. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE '36? - I'D ASK $12,000 FOR IT. - BUT IT'S NOT A '34. - THERE'S NO SUICIDE DOORS
ON IT. REALLY, WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
IS A '34. - UH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THAT'S
LIKE LOOKING FOR HEN'S TEETH. HOW MANY OF THOSE
YOU FOUND LATELY? - NAH, I AIN'T FOUND
ANY OF THOSE LATELY. - THERE YOU GO. SO THERE YOU GO. I'D LET YOU HAVE IT FOR 10. - I'LL DO 6,000. - NAH.
CAN'T DO IT. HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING YOU COULD
THROW IN IF YOU TRADE? AN ALLIGATOR
OR A GOAT AND A MULE TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE UP? I KNOW YOU... - LORD, LORD, LORD. - COME ON, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
SOMETHING TO TRADE. - CHARLES WANTS A LITTLE
SWEETENER IN HIS TEA, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO OBLIGE IF WE CAN COME TOGETHER
ON A PRICE. - GOT A OLD GUN? A WINCHESTER OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT? - I'MA GIVE YOU ONE MORE.
- OKAY. - I'M ALL-IN.
- ALL-IN, OKAY. - $7,500. - NO DEAL. - [groans] IT COULD HAVE A GOOD HOME. I REALLY WANTED TO BRING
THAT BAD BOY HOME TODAY. NOW ALL I'VE GOT IS AN EMPTY
TRAILER TO PULL BACK HOME. AS PART OF PAWN BUSINESS, WE HAVE A 13-ACRE FARM
THAT'S HOME TO 20 ANIMALS. CALL ME CRAZY,
BUT NOW WE GOT 40 MORE. GOOD GIRL. YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE
A LITTLE ONE. HE BETTER LEAVE YOU ALONE. HE BETTER QUIT PICKING AT YOU. I'M STARTING TO HOPE
THAT GERALD WON'T COME BACK FOR THESE DONKEYS. I LOVE DONKEYS, BUT, YOU KNOW, TAKING A HERD OF
DONKEYS IN IS NOT AN EASY CHORE. COME HERE.
WHOA. WHOA. WHOA. STOP. YOU'RE LIMPIN'. LET ME CHECK YOUR FOOT, DUMMY. YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN IT. NO. YOU GOT TO GIVE THAT BABY
A LOT OF MILK. YOU JUST LET HER EAT
WHAT SHE WANTS. MY SHOP THINKS I'M CRAZY, BUT SOMETIMES, I THINK
THE ANIMALS TAKE LESS WORK.
