1
00:00:01,707 --> 00:00:03,857
How far would you go
to, uh, get some superpowers?

2
00:00:03,977 --> 00:00:05,344
You mean, like, physically?

3
00:00:05,379 --> 00:00:07,781
Would I go
to modesto, California, or...?

4
00:00:07,816 --> 00:00:10,118
- No, I'm talking...
what would you sacrifice?

5
00:00:10,152 --> 00:00:13,487
Would you cut off your nads?
Tsk.

6
00:00:13,522 --> 00:00:15,490
In exchange for
a cool superpower?

7
00:00:15,524 --> 00:00:17,559
- I can't think
of a superpower that...

8
00:00:17,593 --> 00:00:19,194
- well, what does it do?

9
00:00:19,228 --> 00:00:21,930
What if you could, like,
jump a block at a time?

10
00:00:21,964 --> 00:00:24,200
Yeah, like, the hulk.
That's how he travels.

11
00:00:24,234 --> 00:00:26,068
Think how much
you'd save on gas.

12
00:00:26,103 --> 00:00:29,138
Naah, you get beefy and
you'd have the falsetto voice.

13
00:00:29,173 --> 00:00:30,673
Wait a minute, you get beefy
in terms of what?

14
00:00:30,708 --> 00:00:31,674
You get muscular?

15
00:00:31,709 --> 00:00:32,909
No, you'd bloat up.

16
00:00:32,943 --> 00:00:34,511
You could
get those little implants.

17
00:00:34,545 --> 00:00:36,546
What if you got, like,
a really crappy superpower?

18
00:00:36,580 --> 00:00:38,482
Like claws?

19
00:00:38,516 --> 00:00:39,650
I don't think
I'd miss them at all.

20
00:00:39,684 --> 00:00:40,817
I would do it.

21
00:01:13,787 --> 00:01:21,795

22
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:27,433
welcome to <i>comic book men,</i>

23
00:01:27,468 --> 00:01:30,169
the only show that Batman
can't even stop.

24
00:01:30,204 --> 00:01:31,304
I'm Kevin Smith.

25
00:01:31,338 --> 00:01:32,906
- Walt Flanagan.
- Bryan Johnson.

26
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:35,007
- Ming Chen.
- And Michael Zapcic.

27
00:01:35,042 --> 00:01:38,845
- Who would you say hands down,
is your favorite super-team?

28
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,815
I'd do a different generation
of the <i>JLA.</i>

29
00:01:41,849 --> 00:01:43,483
The satellite years.
Yes.

30
00:01:43,518 --> 00:01:45,686
- Firestorm.
- Nuclear man.

31
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,320
Right.

32
00:01:46,455 --> 00:01:48,556
The boy who was inhabited
by his teacher.

33
00:01:49,725 --> 00:01:51,526
I don't remember that.

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,694
It's, like,
"what's the character?"

35
00:01:52,729 --> 00:01:54,863
He's a boy and his teacher
enters him

36
00:01:54,898 --> 00:01:57,066
and they become
a superhero together.

37
00:01:59,669 --> 00:02:01,070
All right,
what about you, Walt?

38
00:02:01,104 --> 00:02:03,405
- I'm gonna go <i>avengers.</i>
- Okay.

39
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,441
- I'm gonna
go with Thor, Wonderman...

40
00:02:05,475 --> 00:02:07,509
that graviton era team.

41
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:09,745
Or no, Nefaria.
Right.

44
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:14,417
They've gone so geeky
they've lost even me, man.

45
00:02:14,451 --> 00:02:16,819
They went into a third
comic book language there

46
00:02:16,853 --> 00:02:18,120
where I was, like,
"that's a new one,

47
00:02:18,155 --> 00:02:19,655
what are they talking about?"

48
00:02:21,958 --> 00:02:23,892
What about <i>super friends?</i>

49
00:02:23,927 --> 00:02:25,227
<i>Super friends?</i>

50
00:02:25,261 --> 00:02:26,895
Yeah, <i>super friends,</i>
like the wonder twins.

51
00:02:26,930 --> 00:02:29,298
Pow!
Bro, it's a cartoon.

52
00:02:29,332 --> 00:02:31,833
Oh, my bad.
Not like the comics.

53
00:02:31,868 --> 00:02:34,469
Don't be ridiculous, Bryan.
It's a cartoon.

54
00:02:35,905 --> 00:02:37,972
Wasn't superman's dog
on that team? Krypto?

55
00:02:38,007 --> 00:02:39,674
Wasn't it the dog
with the cape?

56
00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:40,975
He had a dog
but he wasn't on that team.

57
00:02:41,009 --> 00:02:42,409
He wasn't on the team?

58
00:02:42,444 --> 00:02:45,779
<i>Super friends,</i> first they had,
um, Wendy and Marvin.

59
00:02:45,813 --> 00:02:48,181
Two teenagers who had
a dog, wonder dog.

60
00:02:48,215 --> 00:02:49,282
But he didn't
have any superpowers.

61
00:02:49,316 --> 00:02:50,583
They just put a cape on him.

62
00:02:50,617 --> 00:02:52,685
- I did that to my dog.
- Put a cape on him?

63
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:54,119
- Yeah.
- Aren't they, like, nyah! nyah!

64
00:02:54,154 --> 00:02:55,187
Yes.

65
00:02:56,756 --> 00:02:57,923
And I said, "I'm gonna
tie it even tighter if you"

66
00:02:57,957 --> 00:02:58,924
keep taking it off."

67
00:03:07,734 --> 00:03:10,369
There is a new breed
of celebrity

68
00:03:10,403 --> 00:03:12,004
that tweet each other.

69
00:03:12,038 --> 00:03:13,305
Oh.

70
00:03:13,339 --> 00:03:14,540
Like, when you get
a famous person who tweets

71
00:03:14,574 --> 00:03:15,975
another famous person,

72
00:03:16,009 --> 00:03:17,643
you know they
have their phone number too.

73
00:03:17,677 --> 00:03:19,111
You know they
can just text 'em.

74
00:03:19,145 --> 00:03:20,947
Like, you're
not paying enough attention

75
00:03:20,981 --> 00:03:22,582
to the celebrity so it's,
like, "oh, you know what?"

76
00:03:22,616 --> 00:03:24,651
"I know how I can
get people's attention.

77
00:03:24,685 --> 00:03:27,721
Let me tweet another celebrity
that I know."

78
00:03:29,991 --> 00:03:31,926
I'm talking to you two.
What the hell, man?

79
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,160
- What?
- What are you doing?

80
00:03:33,195 --> 00:03:34,395
- I didn't know,
I thought you were talking...

81
00:03:34,429 --> 00:03:37,097
you were just doing a manifesto.
- Well, I am.

82
00:03:38,333 --> 00:03:41,735
I'm saying it out loud,
but, you know.

83
00:03:41,769 --> 00:03:43,503
Hello.
How are you today?

84
00:03:43,537 --> 00:03:44,904
- I'm great.
- What can we do for you?

85
00:03:44,938 --> 00:03:48,173
Um, basically I need a gift
for my boyfriend.

86
00:03:48,207 --> 00:03:49,608
Boyfriend, okay.

87
00:03:49,642 --> 00:03:53,811
- He's super into spider-man,
but I'm gonna be honest.

88
00:03:53,845 --> 00:03:54,878
I'm, like, in over my head.

89
00:03:54,912 --> 00:03:56,146
I don't know
anything about this.

90
00:03:56,180 --> 00:03:57,848
With the relationship,
or you mean with the gift?

91
00:03:59,417 --> 00:04:00,584
- Thanks.
- What's the occasion?

92
00:04:00,618 --> 00:04:01,785
- It's his birthday.
- Birthday.

93
00:04:01,819 --> 00:04:02,886
- Yeah.
- How long you been...?

94
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,688
For 31/2, like 4 months.

95
00:04:04,722 --> 00:04:07,523
- So you're talking probably...
- The honeymoon's over.

96
00:04:07,558 --> 00:04:09,692
The luster's
a little bit dingy.

97
00:04:09,727 --> 00:04:11,628
- The what?
- Take the good and the... sure!

98
00:04:11,662 --> 00:04:13,730
Dude, four months
isn't that long.

99
00:04:13,764 --> 00:04:16,900
My wife, she doesn't
know anything about comics.

100
00:04:16,934 --> 00:04:19,169
And she was faced with this
when we were starting out.

101
00:04:19,203 --> 00:04:20,804
You know, they just
kind treat her here like,

102
00:04:20,838 --> 00:04:22,405
"here, buy
the most expensive thing."

103
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,006
Luckily I like
the most expensive thing

104
00:04:24,041 --> 00:04:25,007
and we got married.

105
00:04:25,042 --> 00:04:26,375
Right.

106
00:04:26,410 --> 00:04:29,378
- But it really does take,
like, a little bit of, um...

107
00:04:29,413 --> 00:04:31,247
- you're not there
to just crassly take their money

108
00:04:31,281 --> 00:04:32,481
and be, like,
"take this."

109
00:04:32,515 --> 00:04:34,683
- No, because,
you know, the wrong gift...

110
00:04:34,717 --> 00:04:35,684
that could end a relationship.

111
00:04:35,718 --> 00:04:37,419
- It could damn a relationship.
- Yeah.

112
00:04:37,453 --> 00:04:38,888
You really gotta
get to know them,

113
00:04:38,922 --> 00:04:40,690
what is their interest,
what are they into?

114
00:04:40,724 --> 00:04:42,325
Hang out with them
for a few days.

115
00:04:42,359 --> 00:04:45,095
Yeah, how deep
are you getting into this, man?

116
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:48,265
It's, like, an episode
of <i>hart to hart,</i> man.

117
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:50,034
This is all
about romance, right?

118
00:04:50,068 --> 00:04:51,836
Yeah.
Oh, definitely.

119
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:53,571
- Well, we have the most
romantic <i>spider-man</i> story

120
00:04:53,605 --> 00:04:54,673
ever written.

121
00:04:54,707 --> 00:04:56,774
I like the idea
of classic romance.

122
00:04:56,809 --> 00:04:58,209
I'm into that.
Come back this way.

123
00:04:58,243 --> 00:05:00,878
Right here are the two issues
I was speaking of.

124
00:05:00,912 --> 00:05:03,481
<i>Spider-man</i> 121 and 122.

125
00:05:10,455 --> 00:05:12,656
Ah, so the death
of Gwen Stacy.

126
00:05:12,690 --> 00:05:14,424
And the death
of green goblin.

127
00:05:14,458 --> 00:05:17,460
Spider-man's girlfriend
is thrown off a bridge

128
00:05:17,494 --> 00:05:18,828
by the green goblin.

129
00:05:18,863 --> 00:05:22,165
Spider-man shoots a web down,
snags her by the back

130
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,701
and in doing so,
her neck snaps...

131
00:05:24,736 --> 00:05:26,170
- oh, brutal.
- And she dies.

132
00:05:26,204 --> 00:05:28,839
- So the next issue,
spider-man took a vow, like,

133
00:05:28,874 --> 00:05:31,609
"you son-of-a-bitch,
you killed my woman.

134
00:05:31,643 --> 00:05:32,744
Tonight you're gonna pay."

135
00:05:32,778 --> 00:05:34,813
But when he was ready
for the death blow

136
00:05:34,847 --> 00:05:36,948
against the green goblin,
he turned his back.

137
00:05:36,982 --> 00:05:39,517
He realized that killing
was not the answer.

138
00:05:39,552 --> 00:05:42,554
You know, the ultimate in,
you know, true heroism.

139
00:05:42,588 --> 00:05:44,022
I read that book
off the stands,

140
00:05:44,056 --> 00:05:46,057
and it had a huge impact on me.

141
00:05:46,092 --> 00:05:48,393
So you consider
the second part of it

142
00:05:48,427 --> 00:05:51,229
as poignant because
he lives up to the vow

143
00:05:51,263 --> 00:05:53,430
he made to the woman he failed.

144
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:56,200
In the first issue.

145
00:05:56,234 --> 00:05:57,635
I know it's a little late.

146
00:05:57,669 --> 00:06:01,139
Yeah, like, "sorry I'm late!
You will be avenged!"

147
00:06:02,675 --> 00:06:04,276
That's true romance
right there.

148
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:05,410
Take these up to the front,

149
00:06:05,444 --> 00:06:06,411
you can take
a closer look at them then.

150
00:06:06,446 --> 00:06:07,446
All right, cool.

151
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,781
We did good.
Ooh, awesome.

152
00:06:09,816 --> 00:06:11,450
These are
two really good books.

153
00:06:11,484 --> 00:06:13,418
What are we asking
for them again?

154
00:06:13,452 --> 00:06:15,487
- This one was $95.
- Yeah.

155
00:06:15,521 --> 00:06:16,588
- And...
- Whoo!

156
00:06:16,623 --> 00:06:17,623
Well, that's
the death of Gwen.

157
00:06:17,657 --> 00:06:18,958
- Yeah.
- This is...

158
00:06:18,992 --> 00:06:20,259
- okay, so that's, like,
a really monumental event.

159
00:06:20,293 --> 00:06:21,293
- Yeah.
- Right.

160
00:06:21,328 --> 00:06:22,662
- It's huge.
- Okay.

161
00:06:22,696 --> 00:06:25,431
And this one was $75.
So $170.

162
00:06:25,465 --> 00:06:28,501
I was looking at $100.

163
00:06:28,536 --> 00:06:30,603
Budget-wise, so...

164
00:06:30,638 --> 00:06:33,974
He's not worth that much
is what she's saying.

165
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:37,978
Uh, $160?

166
00:06:38,012 --> 00:06:40,714
Mike, I think
I can do better than $160.

167
00:06:40,749 --> 00:06:43,117
I think it's possible today...

168
00:06:43,151 --> 00:06:46,220
just today... if this was any
other day it wouldn't happen.

169
00:06:46,254 --> 00:06:48,656
But I think we can do $150.

170
00:06:50,492 --> 00:06:52,459
It's a little over my budget

171
00:06:52,494 --> 00:06:54,194
but I think
that the complete set

172
00:06:54,229 --> 00:06:56,430
is really a solid, nice gift.

173
00:06:56,464 --> 00:06:57,464
I agree.

174
00:06:57,499 --> 00:06:58,565
It shows
I put the research in

175
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,435
and I cared enough,
so...Yeah.

176
00:07:01,469 --> 00:07:03,637
I'll bag 'em up.

177
00:07:03,671 --> 00:07:05,139
- Thanks.
- $150, please.

178
00:07:05,173 --> 00:07:08,175
All right.

179
00:07:16,985 --> 00:07:18,119
- What's up, man?
- Hey, what's going on?

180
00:07:18,153 --> 00:07:19,320
How you doin'?

181
00:07:19,354 --> 00:07:20,788
I didn't know
they came out with that.

182
00:07:20,822 --> 00:07:22,323
- Yeah, they re-released it
in hardcover.

183
00:07:22,357 --> 00:07:23,858
- Yeah.
- Hey, Tim.

184
00:07:23,892 --> 00:07:25,026
Hey, what's up, Mike.
How you doin'?

185
00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:26,861
- What's goin' on?
- Not much.

186
00:07:26,895 --> 00:07:28,562
- 23.
- All right.

187
00:07:28,597 --> 00:07:30,431
Looks like you got...
A new tat?

188
00:07:30,465 --> 00:07:31,832
Uh, well this one.

189
00:07:31,866 --> 00:07:34,134
It's my wife's name.
It was the last one I got.

190
00:07:34,169 --> 00:07:35,803
Which one's your favorite?

191
00:07:35,837 --> 00:07:38,205
- Um, I like the octopus a lot.
- Was it painful?

192
00:07:38,239 --> 00:07:39,674
Yeah.
Yeah, it's real painful.

193
00:07:39,708 --> 00:07:41,910
I mean, it's, like,
somebody's holding a giant bee

194
00:07:41,944 --> 00:07:44,980
and just being attacked by it
for a couple hours.

195
00:07:45,014 --> 00:07:47,249
But those tats though,
the tough guy meter

196
00:07:47,283 --> 00:07:50,386
is, uh, off the charts when
you see somebody walk in with...

197
00:07:50,421 --> 00:07:52,022
like, you're, like,
you show more respect

198
00:07:52,056 --> 00:07:53,056
to a guy with tats.

199
00:07:53,091 --> 00:07:54,692
They're really cool.

200
00:07:54,726 --> 00:07:55,960
I'm pretty impressed.
You guys have any?

201
00:07:55,994 --> 00:07:57,228
I have none.

202
00:07:57,262 --> 00:07:58,596
Not me, man.

203
00:07:58,630 --> 00:08:01,432
I believe, like,
when a guy is inked,

204
00:08:01,466 --> 00:08:02,600
you know, properly...

205
00:08:02,634 --> 00:08:03,868
- right.

206
00:08:03,902 --> 00:08:05,403
Like, it just screams...

207
00:08:05,438 --> 00:08:07,139
"Don't eff with me."
Right.

208
00:08:07,173 --> 00:08:08,673
- "I'm a bad-ass.

209
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:09,974
I'm a bad man."

210
00:08:10,009 --> 00:08:11,309
"Look what I'm willing
to do to me!

211
00:08:11,344 --> 00:08:13,311
What do you think
I'm willing to do to you!"

212
00:08:13,345 --> 00:08:14,445
Exactly!

213
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,247
- I kinda like that...
"I'm a bad man."

214
00:08:17,683 --> 00:08:19,417
- All right, man.
- All right, thanks a lot.

215
00:08:19,451 --> 00:08:20,452
- Take it easy.
- See you guys later.

216
00:08:20,486 --> 00:08:22,788
- Have a good night.
- Bye.

217
00:08:22,822 --> 00:08:25,090
I was wondering,
like, would I be that bad-ass

218
00:08:25,125 --> 00:08:27,493
or would I just look like a fool
if I had tats like that?

219
00:08:27,527 --> 00:08:28,794
- No, I think
you'd look bad-ass.

220
00:08:28,829 --> 00:08:30,864
Like, if your arms are covered
as much as his were.

221
00:08:30,898 --> 00:08:33,166
- Dude, with all your praise
of his tattoos...

222
00:08:33,201 --> 00:08:35,135
like, the one chance
you had, you bailed.

223
00:08:35,169 --> 00:08:36,570
What?
When was that?

224
00:08:36,604 --> 00:08:38,639
- '95.
- Ooh.

225
00:08:38,673 --> 00:08:40,474
Let's check
these stock orders real quick.

226
00:08:40,508 --> 00:08:41,809
Yeah, that can wait.

227
00:08:41,843 --> 00:08:43,243
Wait, keep going.
He promised.

228
00:08:43,278 --> 00:08:47,748
He said... I remember,
so steadfast, so vehemently,

229
00:08:47,782 --> 00:08:50,684
"if the devils
win the cup this year

230
00:08:50,719 --> 00:08:52,653
I'm getting
a devils tattoo."

231
00:08:52,688 --> 00:08:54,755
I remember when they won,
I asked him

232
00:08:54,790 --> 00:08:55,990
if he was gonna get it
and he's, like, "nah."

233
00:08:56,024 --> 00:08:57,224
And I said,
"what the hell?"

234
00:08:57,259 --> 00:08:58,426
Like, "why would you
chicken out?"

235
00:08:58,460 --> 00:08:59,661
And he said...
- I didn't chicken out.

236
00:08:59,695 --> 00:09:01,062
- You did chicken out.
- I didn't chicken out.

237
00:09:01,096 --> 00:09:02,864
- Bak-bak-bak-bak!
- I did not chicken out!

238
00:09:02,899 --> 00:09:04,967
I just changed my mind!

239
00:09:05,001 --> 00:09:07,703
Somebody else changed his mind.

240
00:09:07,738 --> 00:09:09,238
His wife bought him
a video game

241
00:09:09,273 --> 00:09:10,540
if he wouldn't get the tattoo.

242
00:09:11,742 --> 00:09:14,177
- No, no.
- That's what you told me.

243
00:09:14,211 --> 00:09:16,179
It was a video game system!

244
00:09:18,015 --> 00:09:19,315
Now I remember this.

245
00:09:19,349 --> 00:09:20,683
Yes, yes.

246
00:09:20,717 --> 00:09:22,685
Do you ever regret
not getting the tattoo?

247
00:09:22,719 --> 00:09:24,153
I just don't think
I carry a tattoo.

248
00:09:24,187 --> 00:09:27,689
I just don't project
what a hard-ass projects

249
00:09:27,724 --> 00:09:29,391
when they got tattoos,
you know?

250
00:09:29,425 --> 00:09:30,825
What if you got one
right on your forehead,

251
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:32,660
just said "killer."

252
00:09:32,695 --> 00:09:33,895
Um...

253
00:09:33,929 --> 00:09:35,296
"I heart comics."

254
00:09:36,632 --> 00:09:37,900
That's even cooler.

255
00:09:37,934 --> 00:09:39,869
How could you back down
like that, though?

256
00:09:39,903 --> 00:09:41,537
The devils won the cup.

257
00:09:41,571 --> 00:09:43,973
You know I hate to side
with ming on anything.

258
00:09:44,008 --> 00:09:45,341
But on this one...
- What's that sound?

259
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:47,343
It sounds like a bird
with no tattoos.

260
00:09:47,378 --> 00:09:49,813
If I really wanted one,

261
00:09:49,847 --> 00:09:50,980
I wouldn't have to
run it by my wife.

262
00:09:51,015 --> 00:09:52,315
- Oh.
- That's for sure.

263
00:09:52,349 --> 00:09:53,316
Okay.

264
00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:55,151
How about
we all get tattoos then?

265
00:09:55,186 --> 00:09:56,720
Let's put our money
where our mouth is.

266
00:09:56,754 --> 00:09:58,522
- You're gonna get a tattoo?
- I will get a tattoo.

267
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:00,190
We all get tattoos.
I will get a tattoo.

268
00:10:00,224 --> 00:10:01,824
All right,
if you get one, I'll get one.

269
00:10:01,858 --> 00:10:03,559
- You're really gonna get one?
- What does that mean?

270
00:10:03,594 --> 00:10:06,195
Like, you think I'm not?
I don't know, are you?

271
00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:07,797
Did I say I was?

272
00:10:07,832 --> 00:10:09,098
You get one, you get one,

273
00:10:09,133 --> 00:10:10,299
I'll get one.

274
00:10:10,334 --> 00:10:11,401
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

275
00:10:11,435 --> 00:10:12,802
All right.

276
00:10:12,837 --> 00:10:13,903
While we're all there
you might as well grab one too

277
00:10:13,938 --> 00:10:15,304
while you're at it.
I'll go.

278
00:10:15,339 --> 00:10:16,739
I don't have a wife
to check with.

279
00:10:16,773 --> 00:10:18,674
Must be nice.

280
00:10:18,709 --> 00:10:20,910
I'm sure your wife
will appreciate hearing that.

281
00:10:24,714 --> 00:10:26,048
- You into green lantern?
- Yes.

282
00:10:26,082 --> 00:10:28,550
And this is actually
the movie, uh, paraphernalia.

283
00:10:28,584 --> 00:10:29,718
How much you looking for?

284
00:10:29,752 --> 00:10:32,454
Probably be looking at, uh...

285
00:10:44,914 --> 00:10:46,882
You would never box
a woman celebrity?

286
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:48,050
Even for charity?
Nope.

287
00:10:48,084 --> 00:10:49,919
What if she was, like,
in the press constantly?

288
00:10:49,953 --> 00:10:52,254
Like, "come on, Flanagan!
Come on, Flanagan!"

289
00:10:52,288 --> 00:10:54,924
There's nothing to gain.
If I lose, I look foolish.

290
00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:57,426
If I win, I look horrific.
- It's a no-win situation.

291
00:10:57,461 --> 00:10:59,862
Yeah...Okay,
I should box you then.

292
00:10:59,896 --> 00:11:01,029
All right.

293
00:11:01,064 --> 00:11:02,398
I'd box you and jet li
at the same time.

294
00:11:02,432 --> 00:11:03,599
- I don't...
I don't need jet li.

295
00:11:03,633 --> 00:11:04,633
You're gonna beat me
in a boxing match?

296
00:11:04,668 --> 00:11:06,268
- Yeah.
- You're crazy.

297
00:11:06,302 --> 00:11:08,103
- I think he could beat you.
- He definitely could.

298
00:11:09,505 --> 00:11:10,905
Oh, do you think he'd
run around enough to wind you.

299
00:11:10,939 --> 00:11:12,273
- Mm-hm.

300
00:11:12,307 --> 00:11:13,674
And then you wouldn't be able
to keep your arms up?

301
00:11:13,709 --> 00:11:15,376
Oh, I get out of breath,
like, eating lunch.

302
00:11:15,411 --> 00:11:16,444
Yeah.

303
00:11:16,478 --> 00:11:17,478
He'll destroy me
in two seconds.

304
00:11:17,513 --> 00:11:18,780
- It's all over.
- You know what?

305
00:11:18,814 --> 00:11:20,315
I would cut all this off
so I just had, like,

306
00:11:20,349 --> 00:11:21,316
the moustache.

307
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:22,750
- The handlebar?
- Yeah, mm-hm.

308
00:11:22,785 --> 00:11:24,552
- How you doing?
- Hey, how you doin'?

309
00:11:24,586 --> 00:11:26,621
I'd be, like, knocking stuff
out of people's hands.

310
00:11:26,655 --> 00:11:28,056
Hey, real quick,
before you get to that.

311
00:11:28,090 --> 00:11:30,092
Who do you think would win
in a fight, me or him?

312
00:11:30,126 --> 00:11:31,259
I'm gonna go with Asian,
'cause I gotta support

313
00:11:31,294 --> 00:11:32,494
the brothers.

314
00:11:32,528 --> 00:11:33,828
- All right, yes.
- I gotta support the brothers.

315
00:11:33,863 --> 00:11:35,363
- I love it.
- You're both racist.

316
00:11:35,398 --> 00:11:37,765
You guys wanna actually
talk about business?

317
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,200
Or now, or..?
Yeah, that's a good idea.

318
00:11:39,235 --> 00:11:40,668
All right.
You into green lantern?

319
00:11:40,702 --> 00:11:41,902
Yes.

320
00:11:41,936 --> 00:11:43,638
This is actually
the movie, uh, paraphernalia.

321
00:11:50,011 --> 00:11:51,544
This is something
I picked up years back.

322
00:11:51,579 --> 00:11:53,379
Probably in the mid-90s.

323
00:11:53,414 --> 00:11:57,317
The front areas
are actually the fragile parts.

324
00:11:57,352 --> 00:11:58,418
And it lights.

325
00:11:58,453 --> 00:11:59,686
You know what
green lantern was, right?

326
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,154
He had a little ring.
Yes.

327
00:12:01,189 --> 00:12:02,489
- He had a little ring
and he power-charged

328
00:12:02,524 --> 00:12:04,391
into this battery
and he'd go fight crime.

329
00:12:04,426 --> 00:12:05,526
So what does he do?

330
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:06,560
Green lantern flies around
holding this,

331
00:12:06,595 --> 00:12:08,028
looking for bad guys and stuff?

332
00:12:08,063 --> 00:12:09,163
No, that power battery

333
00:12:09,197 --> 00:12:10,665
is actually just
what he charges up the ring at.

334
00:12:10,699 --> 00:12:12,467
The ring
is the real weapon and...

335
00:12:12,501 --> 00:12:14,302
- he has to charge his ring?
- Yeah.

336
00:12:14,337 --> 00:12:15,737
- That is... how inconvenient.

337
00:12:15,772 --> 00:12:17,406
- The power ring...
the Owen power ring.

338
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,707
Yeah.

339
00:12:18,741 --> 00:12:20,809
We live in a world now
where we charge everything.

340
00:12:20,843 --> 00:12:22,410
- Yeah.
- Why is that...?

341
00:12:22,445 --> 00:12:24,679
We're actually very programmed
to be green lantern now.

342
00:12:24,713 --> 00:12:25,813
Sometimes you forget, though.

343
00:12:25,847 --> 00:12:27,681
Like, sometimes I forget
to charge my cell phone.

344
00:12:27,715 --> 00:12:29,083
You just do it
before you go to bed.

345
00:12:29,117 --> 00:12:31,151
How long
does it take to charge?

346
00:12:31,185 --> 00:12:32,385
- As long as that poem?
- As long as the poem?

347
00:12:32,420 --> 00:12:33,553
I think it's
as long as the oath

348
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:34,654
and what is it?

349
00:12:34,688 --> 00:12:35,688
"In brightest day
and blackest night,

350
00:12:35,723 --> 00:12:37,657
"no evil shall escape my sight.

351
00:12:37,691 --> 00:12:39,359
Let those who... "

352
00:12:39,393 --> 00:12:41,195
ah, it's too much.
It's too much.

353
00:12:42,363 --> 00:12:43,697
12 seconds
is really too long to wait

354
00:12:43,731 --> 00:12:45,666
to be, like, all-powerful?

355
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,501
Ming is about
to get his head ripped off

356
00:12:47,536 --> 00:12:48,903
by a super-villain, right?

357
00:12:48,937 --> 00:12:52,007
Okay...

358
00:12:52,041 --> 00:12:54,310
We're going...

359
00:12:54,344 --> 00:12:55,544
Five seconds, ming.

360
00:12:55,579 --> 00:12:56,745
You got another
seven seconds left.

361
00:12:56,780 --> 00:12:57,980
I love that,
you think that's too long.

362
00:12:58,014 --> 00:12:59,548
We're still going.

363
00:12:59,583 --> 00:13:00,783
- Yeah, but every superhero...
- We're still going.

364
00:13:00,817 --> 00:13:02,051
Every superhero
has limitations.

365
00:13:02,085 --> 00:13:03,219
- We're still going...
I'm green lantern!

366
00:13:03,253 --> 00:13:04,653
Oh, there, he's done.

367
00:13:04,688 --> 00:13:06,555
How much you looking for
for the prop?

368
00:13:06,589 --> 00:13:09,224
This, uh, was one
of the limited releases

369
00:13:09,258 --> 00:13:11,526
that came out in 2006.

370
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:15,063
Probably be looking at, uh...

371
00:13:15,097 --> 00:13:17,932
About 280 on it.

372
00:13:17,966 --> 00:13:19,667
It doesn't go for that much.

373
00:13:19,701 --> 00:13:22,170
In truth I did,
uh, see recently on Ebay

374
00:13:22,204 --> 00:13:24,072
someone did win one,
I think unboxed for

375
00:13:24,106 --> 00:13:25,906
plus $250 range.

376
00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:28,575
- At the highest end that
I've seen these at right now...

377
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:30,243
I mean...
- Say it!

378
00:13:30,278 --> 00:13:32,646
- $87, $88.
- Okay it goes both ways.

379
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:36,316
I mean, you're not wrong
that it can go for that, so...

380
00:13:36,350 --> 00:13:40,220
Probably couldn't
go over 60 bucks for this.

381
00:13:40,255 --> 00:13:41,788
Okay, I'll have to decline.

382
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:43,123
But, you know,
thanks for taking the time.

383
00:13:43,157 --> 00:13:44,891
- Sorry, man.
- No problem.

384
00:13:44,926 --> 00:13:48,061
Thanks, fellas.
See you later, man.

385
00:13:48,095 --> 00:13:50,463
I'm sick of people coming in
and thinking that they can get

386
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,364
what they see online for.

387
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:53,932
I thought you'd
be used to that by now.

388
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,501
You know what,
you're the hot woman

389
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:57,370
at the bar that's
just constantly getting hit on.

390
00:13:57,404 --> 00:13:59,839
Bad lines, you know,
people buying you drinks

391
00:13:59,873 --> 00:14:01,441
then thinking
they can take you home.

392
00:14:01,475 --> 00:14:04,177
Thank God for people like you.
The hot women like you.

393
00:14:13,423 --> 00:14:14,556
All right, guys.

394
00:14:14,591 --> 00:14:16,992
I wanna see what
the tattoo designs look like.

395
00:14:17,026 --> 00:14:18,827
I wanna see what you guys
are gonna get.

396
00:14:18,861 --> 00:14:20,262
Where you're gonna get them.

397
00:14:20,296 --> 00:14:21,496
What you guys
are thinking about.

398
00:14:21,531 --> 00:14:24,199
I'm going with a bad-ass...

399
00:14:24,233 --> 00:14:25,767
Super-satanic...

400
00:14:25,801 --> 00:14:27,268
Demon-head.

401
00:14:27,302 --> 00:14:29,970
With his tongue hanging out,
holding a Stanley cup.

402
00:14:30,005 --> 00:14:31,505
Totally, like, satanic.

403
00:14:31,539 --> 00:14:32,506
Like, people
are gonna be, like,

404
00:14:32,540 --> 00:14:35,408
that guy dabbles
in the black magic.

405
00:14:35,443 --> 00:14:36,710
- That's pretty bad-ass.

406
00:14:36,744 --> 00:14:37,744
What are you gonna do, ming?

407
00:14:37,778 --> 00:14:39,112
I always wanted
the Jack knight

408
00:14:39,147 --> 00:14:40,547
"Starman" symbol.

409
00:14:40,581 --> 00:14:42,749
What about something satanic?

410
00:14:42,784 --> 00:14:45,118
- I'm not...
- Yeah, is there a devil by it?

411
00:14:45,153 --> 00:14:46,320
I'm nowhere near satanic.

412
00:14:46,354 --> 00:14:47,621
- Come on, you wanna
look bad-ass, don't you?

413
00:14:47,655 --> 00:14:50,057
You don't wanna
look like just a comic nerd.

414
00:14:50,091 --> 00:14:51,425
- That is bad-ass.

415
00:14:51,459 --> 00:14:52,793
I'm gonna stop short
of agreeing with you there.

416
00:14:52,827 --> 00:14:54,262
Well, you're gonna
love the next one then.

417
00:14:54,296 --> 00:14:56,664
I always thought about getting
the Baltimore orioles mascot.

418
00:14:56,698 --> 00:14:58,432
Remember back in '83,
the cartoon bird?

419
00:14:58,466 --> 00:15:00,401
Why not get something
that's really, like,

420
00:15:00,435 --> 00:15:03,603
personal to you,
like the stash logo.

421
00:15:03,638 --> 00:15:05,605
That's a huge commitment.

422
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,773
Um, you know, I love it here.

423
00:15:06,808 --> 00:15:08,542
I don't plan on
being here forever though.

424
00:15:08,576 --> 00:15:09,910
- What?
- Whoa!

425
00:15:09,944 --> 00:15:10,944
It sounds like
he's giving notice.

426
00:15:10,979 --> 00:15:12,279
I'm not giving notice.

427
00:15:12,313 --> 00:15:13,580
Five years from now,
you don't plan to be here?

428
00:15:13,615 --> 00:15:15,315
Walt, do you mind
if I email you my resume?

429
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:17,784
I got one other tattoo idea,

430
00:15:17,818 --> 00:15:20,219
it's a Chinese family seal.

431
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:22,223
Looks like something
out of a fortune cookie.

432
00:15:22,256 --> 00:15:24,891
So what,
it's a crest? A seal?

433
00:15:24,925 --> 00:15:26,859
It's the Chen family seal.
It says "Chen" on there.

434
00:15:26,894 --> 00:15:28,327
What do they use it for?

435
00:15:28,362 --> 00:15:30,296
It's an ancient way of,
like, signing your documents.

436
00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:32,064
Like, that's your official seal.

437
00:15:32,098 --> 00:15:33,065
- This is pretty cool.
- You approve of it?

438
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:34,233
I approve of this.

439
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:35,701
I don't consider myself
a tat person

440
00:15:35,735 --> 00:15:37,370
by any stretch
of the imagination.

441
00:15:37,404 --> 00:15:40,139
But I got my wife's name
when I was younger, man.

442
00:15:40,174 --> 00:15:41,140
It says "Jenny's."

443
00:15:41,175 --> 00:15:42,375
And I always figured
if she dumped me

444
00:15:42,409 --> 00:15:44,377
I'd just turn
the "j" into a "d."

445
00:15:44,411 --> 00:15:46,479
And people would be,
like, "I can see that."

446
00:15:46,514 --> 00:15:48,081
"He's down
with the super bird."

447
00:15:48,116 --> 00:15:50,284
"He likes
moons over my hammy."

448
00:15:53,288 --> 00:15:55,123
All right, so what
are you getting Mike?

449
00:15:55,157 --> 00:15:56,590
What are you
thinking about getting?

450
00:15:56,625 --> 00:16:00,161
I'm toying with the idea
of a superhero logo.

451
00:16:00,195 --> 00:16:01,562
And I see names around them.

452
00:16:01,596 --> 00:16:03,130
Yeah, my wife.

453
00:16:03,164 --> 00:16:04,465
Where are you gonna get it?

454
00:16:04,499 --> 00:16:08,335
Either down here
on my rump, right here.

455
00:16:08,369 --> 00:16:11,237
Or on my arm.
Like a tramp stamp?

456
00:16:11,272 --> 00:16:12,739
No!

457
00:16:12,773 --> 00:16:15,274
No, not center, over here.

458
00:16:15,309 --> 00:16:16,576
That's pretty close, man.

459
00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:18,178
That's too close for comfort,
isn't it?

460
00:16:18,212 --> 00:16:19,513
Not too many people
are gonna see it.

461
00:16:19,547 --> 00:16:20,581
What about when
you're bending over,

462
00:16:20,615 --> 00:16:23,150
like, helping somebody
grab a comic?

463
00:16:23,185 --> 00:16:24,652
The shirt might pull up.

464
00:16:24,686 --> 00:16:27,121
Before they would only have
noticed your thong, but now...

465
00:16:28,257 --> 00:16:30,959
Now they notice
the tramp-stamp as well.

466
00:16:30,993 --> 00:16:33,028
You wanna talk about manly?

467
00:16:34,196 --> 00:16:35,364
Tell them the first tattoo
you got.

468
00:16:35,398 --> 00:16:37,366
Well, the first one
I ever got was, uh...

469
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,334
Calvin and Hobbes.

470
00:16:39,368 --> 00:16:40,802
Again, sorry,
we didn't quite hear that.

471
00:16:40,836 --> 00:16:42,070
Yeah, slowly, slowly.

472
00:16:42,104 --> 00:16:44,439
Calvin and Hobbes,
the bill watterson cartoon.

473
00:16:44,473 --> 00:16:45,973
- So in order to show
what a bad-ass you were,

474
00:16:46,007 --> 00:16:47,108
like, "look at this kid!"

475
00:16:47,142 --> 00:16:49,610
He's got
an imaginary friend!"

476
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:55,615
Um, all right,
so this dude's talking about

477
00:16:55,649 --> 00:16:56,916
putting a scene
out of <i>the exorcist.</i>

478
00:16:56,950 --> 00:16:58,451
- Right.
- You've got Calvin and Hobbes.

479
00:16:58,485 --> 00:16:59,952
What are you gonna add to it?

480
00:16:59,987 --> 00:17:02,188
I'm going for a tattoo
of my niece.

481
00:17:02,222 --> 00:17:04,624
I'm swept up in the zombie fever
just like everybody else

482
00:17:04,658 --> 00:17:07,527
so it's gonna be
a picture of her as a zombie.

483
00:17:07,562 --> 00:17:10,564
Riding her tricycle.

484
00:17:14,769 --> 00:17:16,469
You're not serious, right?

485
00:17:16,504 --> 00:17:18,638
Yeah, no, she loves zombies.

486
00:17:18,672 --> 00:17:20,306
I love zombies,
she loves zombies,

487
00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:22,308
we love zombies together.

488
00:17:22,342 --> 00:17:24,243
That's what we bond over.

489
00:17:24,277 --> 00:17:25,945
Ooh, that
is a tough one though,

490
00:17:25,979 --> 00:17:29,448
because it's, like, on one hand
you're, like, "it's my niece."

491
00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:30,616
- Mm-hm.

492
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:31,916
Then on the other hand
you have to explain,

493
00:17:31,951 --> 00:17:33,985
"it's my niece, dead."

494
00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:35,186
Well...

495
00:17:35,221 --> 00:17:36,654
Living dead.

496
00:17:38,123 --> 00:17:39,758
- Where's it going?
- Right here.

497
00:17:39,792 --> 00:17:41,192
I'm gonna do it right here.

498
00:17:41,227 --> 00:17:44,129
- Can I be 100% honest with you?
- Are you ever anything less?

499
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:46,532
Worst, worst idea
I've ever heard

500
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,067
come out of your mouth.
Really?

501
00:17:48,101 --> 00:17:51,003
- It's so... it's such
in poor taste, man.

502
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:54,040
It's, like, bad taste
to the tenth degree.

503
00:17:54,075 --> 00:17:55,075
To whom, though?

504
00:17:55,109 --> 00:17:59,078
To get a dead child
put on your arm.

505
00:17:59,113 --> 00:18:00,446
There's no coming back
from that, man.

506
00:18:00,481 --> 00:18:01,614
When you put it like that,

507
00:18:01,648 --> 00:18:03,115
it actually sounds
even more metal.

508
00:18:05,386 --> 00:18:07,120
Why are you
selling these Barbies?

509
00:18:07,154 --> 00:18:09,989
It's hard because, you know,
I've had them for so long.

510
00:18:10,023 --> 00:18:11,857
So is it a done deal?

511
00:18:11,891 --> 00:18:14,626
Um...Mmm...

512
00:18:19,848 --> 00:18:21,716
How come you don't sell
whoopee cushions in this store?

513
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:23,618
It's not a novelty store.

514
00:18:23,652 --> 00:18:25,853
You don't think they provide
the same degree of hilarity

515
00:18:25,888 --> 00:18:28,589
and enjoyment
that they did 40 years ago?

516
00:18:28,623 --> 00:18:29,957
I mean, how much money
can you really make?

517
00:18:29,991 --> 00:18:31,992
How many whoopee cushions
you think you could really sell?

518
00:18:32,027 --> 00:18:35,095
- And therefore sell-out
the integrity of the store?

519
00:18:35,130 --> 00:18:36,563
I'm not worried
about integrity.

520
00:18:36,598 --> 00:18:37,931
If I thought I could
bring us in some money,

521
00:18:37,966 --> 00:18:38,999
I'd stock it.

522
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:40,801
It would be only
whoopee cushions.

523
00:18:40,835 --> 00:18:43,704
You know, like,
if it was, like, pokemon '98.

524
00:18:43,738 --> 00:18:45,973
- Yeah.
- Whoopee cushions, 2011.

525
00:18:47,075 --> 00:18:48,775
I would have
no problem doing that.

526
00:18:48,809 --> 00:18:49,809
- Hey.
- Hey, how you doing?

527
00:18:49,844 --> 00:18:51,177
- Good, how are you?
- All right.

528
00:18:51,212 --> 00:18:52,579
Um, well, I have
a couple things that I think

529
00:18:52,613 --> 00:18:54,814
maybe you might
be interested in.

530
00:18:54,848 --> 00:18:55,882
Sure.

531
00:18:55,916 --> 00:18:57,083
If you wanna
take a look at them.

532
00:18:57,117 --> 00:19:00,153
- I'll take a look at them.
- Okay!

533
00:19:00,188 --> 00:19:01,254
Hmm.

534
00:19:01,289 --> 00:19:02,923
- Barbies.
- Wonder-Barbies.

535
00:19:02,957 --> 00:19:04,891
All my superhero Barbies.

536
00:19:11,898 --> 00:19:13,999
- Batgirl.
- Oh, wow, Barbies.

537
00:19:14,034 --> 00:19:15,033
With lunchboxes.

538
00:19:15,068 --> 00:19:16,468
So all you have is Barbies?

539
00:19:16,502 --> 00:19:18,503
Yeah, that's all I've got.

540
00:19:18,537 --> 00:19:20,004
Why are you
selling these Barbies?

541
00:19:20,039 --> 00:19:23,340
- I have too much stuff.
- Too much stuff?

542
00:19:23,375 --> 00:19:26,410
I'm trying to minimize it
so I can buy more...

543
00:19:26,444 --> 00:19:27,844
More stuff.

544
00:19:27,879 --> 00:19:32,448
So yeah, unfortunately Barbies
and, uh, the secret stash

545
00:19:32,483 --> 00:19:36,286
are not... we're not...

546
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,655
"A-Ken" to Barbie, get it?
- Mm-hm.

547
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:41,458
Yeah, clever.

548
00:19:41,492 --> 00:19:44,094
You two should
be paying for that.

549
00:19:44,128 --> 00:19:46,130
I won't carry Barbies
in the stash.

550
00:19:46,164 --> 00:19:47,598
Neanderthal.

551
00:19:47,632 --> 00:19:48,899
Why, why?

552
00:19:48,934 --> 00:19:50,301
Because Barbies
don't belong in the stash.

553
00:19:50,335 --> 00:19:52,770
Girl toy!
Boy toys!

554
00:19:54,072 --> 00:19:55,473
- I just don't
feel it belongs...

555
00:19:55,507 --> 00:19:56,908
- but if she's dressed
like batgirl,

556
00:19:56,942 --> 00:19:58,343
then she belongs in the stash.

557
00:19:58,377 --> 00:19:59,578
It's such a reach.

558
00:19:59,612 --> 00:20:00,646
But if she's dressed
like a superhero,

559
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,448
she earns a place
at the table, no?

560
00:20:02,482 --> 00:20:04,116
Underneath you're still
a Barbie.

561
00:20:04,151 --> 00:20:05,518
Ooh.

562
00:20:05,552 --> 00:20:08,053
That hurts, that's gotta hurt.
Barbie rolls a tear.

563
00:20:09,355 --> 00:20:10,989
I think that's so weird
that you're, like,

564
00:20:11,023 --> 00:20:14,593
"Barbie doesn't cross the...
she shall not pass!"

565
00:20:15,694 --> 00:20:17,428
Stop Barbie at the door.

566
00:20:17,462 --> 00:20:19,563
What about Ken
dressed as han solo?

567
00:20:19,598 --> 00:20:21,565
It's still a Ken doll.

568
00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,634
What about Ken
dressed as a G.I. Robot?

569
00:20:24,669 --> 00:20:27,237
Like, they go real obscure
into D.C. history?

570
00:20:27,271 --> 00:20:28,839
- It's still a robot.
- Really?

571
00:20:28,873 --> 00:20:30,274
- I mean, it's still...
- G.I. Robot Ken?

572
00:20:30,308 --> 00:20:32,877
You wouldn't be, like,
"all right, man, they tried."

573
00:20:32,911 --> 00:20:34,379
What if it was
kryptonite Ken?

574
00:20:34,413 --> 00:20:36,715
A Ken made entirely
of kryptonite?

575
00:20:36,749 --> 00:20:39,117
- I might buy that.
- A-ha!

576
00:20:39,152 --> 00:20:40,585
What are you looking for?

577
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:43,889
I don't wanna lead them on
that I might even be interested.

578
00:20:43,923 --> 00:20:46,058
- How much are you looking for?
- On the sly.

579
00:20:47,393 --> 00:20:51,396
Well, um, what I was
looking for, um, online.

580
00:20:51,431 --> 00:20:54,532
They were, like, $40 a piece
or they had three of them

581
00:20:54,567 --> 00:20:56,534
for, like, $75.

582
00:20:56,568 --> 00:21:01,071
I mean, to me, these are worth
way more than $40 a piece.

583
00:21:01,105 --> 00:21:03,707
Just because it's, you know,
it's something that I...

584
00:21:03,741 --> 00:21:05,875
- your nostalgic feelings
from childhood.

585
00:21:05,910 --> 00:21:06,910
Yeah.

586
00:21:06,944 --> 00:21:08,211
- Is what...
what gets the market.

587
00:21:08,245 --> 00:21:09,680
- Yeah, yeah.
- Okay, I see.

588
00:21:09,714 --> 00:21:12,783
- But yeah, they were about...
they were running around, um...

589
00:21:12,817 --> 00:21:14,051
what about...
would you break 'em up?

590
00:21:14,085 --> 00:21:16,453
If I were to take two
off your hands?

591
00:21:16,487 --> 00:21:17,955
What are you gonna do
with two Barbies?

592
00:21:17,989 --> 00:21:19,823
- I have a five-year-old niece
and she's into dolls and stuff.

593
00:21:19,858 --> 00:21:21,658
- Is she into wonder woman?
- Superheroes.

594
00:21:21,693 --> 00:21:22,693
She might be.

595
00:21:22,727 --> 00:21:24,127
You mentioned
a price of $40 earlier.

596
00:21:24,162 --> 00:21:25,596
Yes.

597
00:21:25,630 --> 00:21:27,498
So what would you, uh...?

598
00:21:27,532 --> 00:21:28,932
Um...

599
00:21:28,967 --> 00:21:30,767
Mm...

600
00:21:30,802 --> 00:21:32,402
Come on, girl,
I can make it real easy.

601
00:21:32,436 --> 00:21:34,104
- Yes.
- $25 each.

602
00:21:34,138 --> 00:21:35,205
$25 each.

603
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,540
As I crack my knuckles.

604
00:21:37,575 --> 00:21:38,875
That way you don't have to
sell them online.

605
00:21:38,909 --> 00:21:40,309
You don't have to pack them up.

606
00:21:40,344 --> 00:21:41,477
You don't have to have somebody
turn around and be, like,

607
00:21:41,511 --> 00:21:42,945
"oh, I never got them!"

608
00:21:42,979 --> 00:21:45,447
Yeah, it's hard because
I've had them for so long

609
00:21:45,481 --> 00:21:46,615
and it's just, like...

610
00:21:46,649 --> 00:21:47,683
- how long could
you have had these?

611
00:21:47,717 --> 00:21:48,884
Yeah, what year
did they come out?

612
00:21:48,919 --> 00:21:51,387
- They just came out probably.
- What? 2003.

613
00:21:51,422 --> 00:21:52,422
Oh, my goodness.

614
00:21:52,456 --> 00:21:53,623
That's almost
ten years, people.

615
00:21:53,657 --> 00:21:55,024
You've had these
for almost ten years.

616
00:21:55,059 --> 00:21:56,359
She's very
emotionally attached.

617
00:21:56,393 --> 00:21:57,761
The attachment.

618
00:21:57,795 --> 00:21:59,796
I get attached to something
that I buy, like, this year.

619
00:21:59,830 --> 00:22:01,497
Hold on a second,
I'll show you a picture

620
00:22:01,532 --> 00:22:02,866
of the little kid it's going to

621
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:04,434
and then you tell me
if 25 is too much.

622
00:22:04,469 --> 00:22:05,435
It'll be out of the box.

623
00:22:05,470 --> 00:22:06,970
There she is.
You wanna tell her?

624
00:22:07,005 --> 00:22:08,438
- Aw!
- Ooh!

625
00:22:08,473 --> 00:22:10,173
- You gonna tell her?
- No, mm-mm.

626
00:22:12,176 --> 00:22:13,410
So is it a done deal?

627
00:22:13,444 --> 00:22:16,847
The two...For $50?

628
00:22:19,384 --> 00:22:21,685
- Yes, yes.
- All right.

629
00:22:21,719 --> 00:22:23,019
- Yes.
- I'm so proud of you.

630
00:22:25,222 --> 00:22:26,656
I'm a master negotiator,
and they should have me

631
00:22:26,691 --> 00:22:27,857
behind that counter.

632
00:22:27,892 --> 00:22:29,693
Okay, so they
were going for $40,

633
00:22:29,727 --> 00:22:30,861
and you got them down to $25?

634
00:22:30,895 --> 00:22:32,530
- 25 a piece.
- Not bad, man.

635
00:22:32,564 --> 00:22:33,731
So you went
from 80 to 50 bucks.

636
00:22:33,765 --> 00:22:35,299
- Mm-hm.
- Master negotiator.

637
00:22:35,334 --> 00:22:36,734
- Yup.
- Yeah.

638
00:22:36,769 --> 00:22:38,136
They're probably cackling
'cause they just came

639
00:22:38,170 --> 00:22:40,071
from the store where they
bought them two for ten bucks.

640
00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:44,175
I think I ripped him off.

641
00:22:44,209 --> 00:22:45,477
We got this pigeon.

642
00:22:45,511 --> 00:22:46,979
Get them out of here
before a customer shows up.

643
00:22:47,013 --> 00:22:48,447
Is it all right
if I sell them?

644
00:22:48,481 --> 00:22:49,515
Like, if somebody
offers me something

645
00:22:49,549 --> 00:22:51,317
while I'm walking around?

646
00:22:51,351 --> 00:22:54,119
Dude, it's not gonna happen.

647
00:22:56,190 --> 00:22:57,790
- You really gonna do this?
- Of course.

648
00:22:57,825 --> 00:22:59,125
Were there
any last minute pleading

649
00:22:59,159 --> 00:23:00,226
from any of your wives?

650
00:23:00,260 --> 00:23:01,293
- Yeah.
- Oh, really?

651
00:23:01,328 --> 00:23:02,595
- Yeah.
- What'd she say?

652
00:23:02,629 --> 00:23:03,963
If you're really
gonna do this,

653
00:23:03,997 --> 00:23:06,765
let me get a look at you,
you know, perfect before, uh...

654
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,934
Pfft, perfect!

655
00:23:08,968 --> 00:23:10,402
Look, your feet
don't even hit the floor.

656
00:23:10,437 --> 00:23:11,436
Oh.

657
00:23:11,471 --> 00:23:12,571
He looks like lily tomlin

658
00:23:12,605 --> 00:23:13,906
when she used to sit
in that giant chair.

659
00:23:18,511 --> 00:23:22,381
So we're just waiting
for Walt, huh?

660
00:23:22,415 --> 00:23:24,116
I don't think he's coming.

661
00:23:24,150 --> 00:23:25,284
You gotta be kidding me.

662
00:23:25,318 --> 00:23:26,986
Who needs him?
Who needs Flanagan?

663
00:23:27,020 --> 00:23:28,988
- It's unbelievable, man.
- Are you gonna back out?

664
00:23:29,022 --> 00:23:32,391
We got a little brotherly
triangle going on right here.

665
00:23:32,426 --> 00:23:34,227
He was part of the reason
I was gonna do it, though.

666
00:23:34,262 --> 00:23:35,461
Put it in his face.

667
00:23:35,496 --> 00:23:37,797
Any time he starts
giving you crap about anything...

668
00:23:37,832 --> 00:23:38,799
pfft!

669
00:23:38,833 --> 00:23:40,633
"Remember that?"
He shuts up.

670
00:23:40,668 --> 00:23:42,001
"You shut up, Flanagan."

671
00:23:42,036 --> 00:23:43,837
This is something
that you can hang over him.

672
00:23:43,871 --> 00:23:44,871
Yeah.

673
00:23:44,905 --> 00:23:46,439
Forever, permanently.

674
00:23:46,473 --> 00:23:48,341
Exactly.

675
00:23:48,375 --> 00:23:50,410
Just for that
it'll be worth it.

676
00:23:50,444 --> 00:23:51,477
- Ready?
- I'm ready.

677
00:23:51,512 --> 00:23:52,845
- Let's rock.
- All right.

678
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,248
After you.

679
00:23:57,450 --> 00:24:00,018
That slide in...
That's intimidating.

680
00:24:00,053 --> 00:24:02,154
Was that some sort of,
like, Alpha dog move?

681
00:24:02,188 --> 00:24:04,189
In <i>my</i> store?

682
00:24:12,135 --> 00:24:13,335
- What's up, guys?
- How's it going?

683
00:24:13,370 --> 00:24:14,803
- What's goin' on?
- How you doin'?

684
00:24:14,838 --> 00:24:16,005
- What's goin' on?
- Nothing much, man.

685
00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:17,673
I, uh... you know,
I've walked here a few times.

686
00:24:17,707 --> 00:24:19,208
I saw you walking
back and forth out there.

687
00:24:19,242 --> 00:24:20,409
- Yeah.
- I was about to call the cops.

688
00:24:22,412 --> 00:24:24,614
I've got a couple of things
that I think you guys

689
00:24:24,648 --> 00:24:26,182
might be interested in.

690
00:24:26,216 --> 00:24:27,750
I've just got some figures.
Ooh!

691
00:24:27,784 --> 00:24:28,918
- Batman.
- Yeah.

692
00:24:28,952 --> 00:24:31,154
- Hm.
- The target exclusives, huh?

693
00:24:31,188 --> 00:24:32,188
Yeah.

694
00:24:39,163 --> 00:24:41,164
What do these remind you of?

695
00:24:41,198 --> 00:24:42,331
Oh, Mego's.

696
00:24:42,366 --> 00:24:45,167
The legendary Mego line
of the '70s.

697
00:24:45,202 --> 00:24:46,869
About ten years ago

698
00:24:46,903 --> 00:24:48,604
all the chains
were doing exclusives.

699
00:24:48,638 --> 00:24:50,839
I mean toys were,
like, off the chain.

700
00:24:50,873 --> 00:24:52,941
It was like printing money.

701
00:24:52,975 --> 00:24:55,443
- From the mid-90s forward
there was a boom.

702
00:24:55,478 --> 00:24:56,744
Yes.

703
00:24:56,779 --> 00:24:58,646
Target or Wal-Mart would have
an exclusive figure

704
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,314
that can only be purchased
at their store.

705
00:25:00,349 --> 00:25:01,448
Right.

706
00:25:01,483 --> 00:25:05,486
- And target had
these Batman Mego-li figures.

707
00:25:05,521 --> 00:25:06,988
They wearing cloth outfits
and stuff?

708
00:25:07,022 --> 00:25:08,322
- Yes.
- Oh.

709
00:25:08,356 --> 00:25:11,258
This was a way for them
to try to test the market

710
00:25:11,293 --> 00:25:15,630
to see if kids would flock back
to the Mego style of figures.

711
00:25:15,664 --> 00:25:16,965
Why are you
getting rid of them?

712
00:25:16,999 --> 00:25:19,067
I like them a lot,
but I've got a storage shed

713
00:25:19,101 --> 00:25:21,737
full of old comics
and transformers

714
00:25:21,771 --> 00:25:24,206
and stuff like that
so I'm just trying to downsize

715
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,275
and see if I can make
some cash in the meantime.

716
00:25:26,309 --> 00:25:27,643
All right,
what are you looking for

717
00:25:27,677 --> 00:25:28,811
for this set of three?

718
00:25:28,845 --> 00:25:30,413
I would say
they're worth 50 each.

719
00:25:30,447 --> 00:25:31,681
- Okay.
- So 150.

720
00:25:31,715 --> 00:25:33,483
But, you know,
I know you've gotta sell them

721
00:25:33,517 --> 00:25:35,018
so if I could
get 100 out of them

722
00:25:35,052 --> 00:25:36,519
I'd be happy.

723
00:25:36,554 --> 00:25:39,956
They're not that rare
and not that expensive.

724
00:25:39,991 --> 00:25:43,026
I mean, obviously the Batman one
is the harder to find.

725
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:46,796
If you had bought three Batmans,
you'd be sitting in the money.

726
00:25:46,830 --> 00:25:50,299
You and your wife would be
dining on filet mignon tonight.

727
00:25:50,333 --> 00:25:52,301
'Cause, I mean...
I know what's gonna happen.

728
00:25:52,335 --> 00:25:55,103
I'm gonna sell Batman,
uh, by the end of the week.

729
00:25:55,137 --> 00:25:57,305
Joker will probably go too
but penguin basically

730
00:25:57,339 --> 00:26:00,041
is the red-headed stepchild
of these because...

731
00:26:00,075 --> 00:26:01,475
- oh, really?
- Because nobody cares.

732
00:26:01,510 --> 00:26:02,676
- Nobody liked the penguin?
- No one cares about penguin.

733
00:26:02,711 --> 00:26:04,178
- No.
- Why don't people like penguin?

734
00:26:04,213 --> 00:26:05,746
He's just not sexy.

735
00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:08,015
He's just a fat old man
in a tuxedo.

736
00:26:08,049 --> 00:26:10,984
There's nothing about him cool.
I don't know, man.

737
00:26:11,019 --> 00:26:12,820
Imagine my boy with
a top hat and a monocle.

738
00:26:12,854 --> 00:26:15,156
- See?
- And a pointier nose.

739
00:26:15,190 --> 00:26:18,091
The penguin figure
is basically unmovable.

740
00:26:18,126 --> 00:26:21,461
- Why? Why is it
the only fat guy in comics...

741
00:26:21,495 --> 00:26:23,396
nobody wants or likes, man?

742
00:26:23,430 --> 00:26:25,397
It's just like kickball
all over again.

743
00:26:27,867 --> 00:26:29,901
Ten years ago I probably
could have got, like,

744
00:26:29,936 --> 00:26:32,003
50 bucks each for them.

745
00:26:32,037 --> 00:26:33,237
Not today.

746
00:26:33,272 --> 00:26:35,706
The toy market
I think's definitely shrunk.

747
00:26:35,741 --> 00:26:39,110
I can only offer you...

748
00:26:39,144 --> 00:26:40,912
20 for these two.

749
00:26:40,946 --> 00:26:42,514
Whew.

750
00:26:42,548 --> 00:26:45,050
- I know it's not much of a...
- It's pretty short from 100.

751
00:26:45,084 --> 00:26:46,818
- Of a payday for you.
- Yeah.

752
00:26:46,853 --> 00:26:47,853
- Yeah, but they're
depreciating... every minute

753
00:26:47,887 --> 00:26:49,821
you sit there
and think about it,

754
00:26:49,856 --> 00:26:50,856
price is going down.

755
00:26:50,890 --> 00:26:52,791
All right.

756
00:26:57,464 --> 00:26:59,433
Let's talk 40.

757
00:26:59,467 --> 00:27:02,469
That slide in
of the penguin...

758
00:27:02,503 --> 00:27:03,536
That's intimidating.

759
00:27:06,274 --> 00:27:09,075
Is that some sort of,
like, Alpha dog move?

760
00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:10,110
In my store?

761
00:27:10,144 --> 00:27:11,511
I think they come as a set.

762
00:27:11,545 --> 00:27:13,513
They come as a set
and go as a set.

763
00:27:13,547 --> 00:27:15,114
You should be
on your back right now

764
00:27:15,148 --> 00:27:16,916
showing your belly...
showing him your underside.

765
00:27:18,018 --> 00:27:21,053
- Um, 25 bucks.
- 25 bucks?

766
00:27:21,088 --> 00:27:24,957
25...

767
00:27:24,991 --> 00:27:26,592
Bucks.

768
00:27:26,626 --> 00:27:29,428
It's cold over here and lonely
and penguin needs to be back

769
00:27:29,462 --> 00:27:31,696
with his family.

770
00:27:31,731 --> 00:27:34,599
I could do 38 for all three.

771
00:27:34,634 --> 00:27:36,768
I could do...

772
00:27:36,802 --> 00:27:40,471
22 for all three.

773
00:27:40,506 --> 00:27:41,672
I'm going down now.

774
00:27:41,707 --> 00:27:43,407
Yeah, you're right.
You look perplexed.

775
00:27:43,442 --> 00:27:46,243
Every time that you try
to force that penguin on me,

776
00:27:46,277 --> 00:27:49,045
I'm gonna take it down
a dollar.

777
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:50,580
So we're at 22
for just these two.

778
00:27:50,614 --> 00:27:52,581
- No, we're at 21 now.
- 21?

779
00:27:52,616 --> 00:27:55,617
You can't figure me out.

780
00:27:55,652 --> 00:27:56,718
20.

781
00:27:56,753 --> 00:27:57,853
Okay so essentially
you're doing

782
00:27:57,887 --> 00:27:59,855
a bugs bunny-daffy duck
on him right now.

783
00:28:00,891 --> 00:28:02,892
- Duck season-rabbit season.

784
00:28:02,926 --> 00:28:05,161
- It was a slow day, obviously.
- Obviously.

785
00:28:07,364 --> 00:28:09,866
25 for all three.

786
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:13,404
I'm not... and now
just no more kidding around.

787
00:28:13,438 --> 00:28:17,375
- 25 for all three?
- 25 for all three.

788
00:28:17,409 --> 00:28:20,211
I could go 30.
I could go as low as 30.

789
00:28:20,245 --> 00:28:21,745
You can go as low as 30?

790
00:28:21,780 --> 00:28:23,314
Ugh...

791
00:28:23,348 --> 00:28:25,082
How about 28?

792
00:28:25,116 --> 00:28:28,318
29.

793
00:28:28,353 --> 00:28:29,753
All right, 29.

794
00:28:29,787 --> 00:28:31,320
Under 30 just feels good.

795
00:28:31,355 --> 00:28:34,357
You got a good deal,
you got a good deal.

796
00:28:35,526 --> 00:28:36,725
Thank you, sir.
All right, man.

797
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,261
- Have a good one.
- Take it easy.

798
00:28:49,140 --> 00:28:51,442
- This your first tattoo, Mike?
- Yes, sir.

799
00:28:51,476 --> 00:28:54,579
All right, man, a virgin.
Love the virgins.

800
00:28:54,613 --> 00:28:56,915
Okay.

801
00:28:56,949 --> 00:28:58,149
So you nervous?

802
00:28:58,184 --> 00:29:00,352
Yeah, a little bit.
It's my first one.

803
00:29:00,386 --> 00:29:01,887
I keep hearing it's addictive.

804
00:29:01,921 --> 00:29:03,088
Very true.

805
00:29:03,122 --> 00:29:06,358
I'm worried about
one day getting covered.

806
00:29:06,392 --> 00:29:08,326
Mm, could happen.

807
00:29:10,596 --> 00:29:11,596
You want me to take
a little bit of

808
00:29:11,630 --> 00:29:12,697
the beard off too?

809
00:29:12,731 --> 00:29:14,598
Aah...Nah, that's all right.

810
00:29:19,270 --> 00:29:21,237
You ready?

811
00:29:21,271 --> 00:29:23,506
I'm ready.

812
00:29:23,540 --> 00:29:25,775
Before you start,
you ever have any mishaps?

813
00:29:25,809 --> 00:29:26,810
No, no, no.

814
00:29:26,844 --> 00:29:27,978
Like a misspelling
or anything?

815
00:29:28,012 --> 00:29:29,046
No.

816
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,047
Never?

817
00:29:30,081 --> 00:29:32,015
We try not to do that.

818
00:29:32,050 --> 00:29:34,151
All right, let's go.

819
00:29:34,185 --> 00:29:37,154
All right, here goes.

820
00:29:47,233 --> 00:29:49,935
Your wife's name
with an "ie" or a "y?"

821
00:29:49,969 --> 00:29:51,270
I'm...

822
00:29:51,304 --> 00:29:53,505
It's not funny.

823
00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:55,741
So you guys all work
in a comic book store together?

824
00:29:55,776 --> 00:29:58,711
Yeah, me and him do.

825
00:29:58,745 --> 00:30:00,012
The bearded guy over there
he just kinda comes

826
00:30:00,046 --> 00:30:01,314
and hangs out.

827
00:30:01,348 --> 00:30:03,315
He's not really officially
an employee.

828
00:30:03,349 --> 00:30:04,650
Yeah, we have those
around here too.

829
00:30:06,086 --> 00:30:08,120
Anybody get any,
uh, superhero tattoos?

830
00:30:08,154 --> 00:30:09,655
Oh, all the time.

831
00:30:09,689 --> 00:30:12,123
We get the Supermans,
the Batmans,

832
00:30:12,158 --> 00:30:13,791
the ider-mans.

833
00:30:13,826 --> 00:30:14,859
Oh, that's cool.

834
00:30:14,894 --> 00:30:17,896
Yeah, I guess.

835
00:30:17,930 --> 00:30:19,264
I had this kid
come in one time

836
00:30:19,298 --> 00:30:22,301
and he wanted, um,
a superman symbol on his chest.

837
00:30:22,335 --> 00:30:24,804
It was his first tattoo.

838
00:30:24,838 --> 00:30:27,974
Soon as I put the needle...
he's, like, whoa!

839
00:30:28,008 --> 00:30:29,142
It was done.

840
00:30:29,176 --> 00:30:31,345
I go, bro, you picked
the wrong tattoo to get.

841
00:30:31,379 --> 00:30:34,381
You picked the superman symbol,
and you're bailing out

842
00:30:34,416 --> 00:30:35,849
on the tattoo
'cause of the pain.

843
00:30:35,884 --> 00:30:36,884
Right, yeah.

844
00:30:36,918 --> 00:30:37,952
You're supposed
to be superman.

845
00:30:37,986 --> 00:30:39,386
"Man of steel" you're not.

846
00:30:39,421 --> 00:30:42,022
How you holding up, Miguel?
I'm doing well, thanks.

847
00:30:42,056 --> 00:30:43,223
How you feeling over there?

848
00:30:43,257 --> 00:30:44,591
It doesn't feel
that bad at all.

849
00:30:44,625 --> 00:30:46,693
You might discover
a whole new world, man.

850
00:30:46,727 --> 00:30:47,860
Like, you like pain.

851
00:30:47,895 --> 00:30:48,928
Next thing you know,
you're out looking

852
00:30:48,962 --> 00:30:50,195
for that next fix.

853
00:30:50,230 --> 00:30:53,465
Getting your ass beat
by some dominatrix.

854
00:30:53,499 --> 00:30:55,167
Yeah, it would depend
on the woman.

855
00:30:55,201 --> 00:30:56,734
What do you require
in a dominatrix?

856
00:30:56,769 --> 00:30:59,303
I had no idea that you've
thought out preferences.

857
00:31:00,539 --> 00:31:01,839
Tough but loving.

858
00:31:01,874 --> 00:31:03,007
So she dresses you down
and then, like,

859
00:31:03,042 --> 00:31:04,809
cradles you
in her arms afterwards?

860
00:31:04,843 --> 00:31:06,077
- Yeah, and then
we go out and, you know...

861
00:31:06,111 --> 00:31:07,745
yeah, we go have dinner
at a nice place afterwards.

862
00:31:08,847 --> 00:31:10,081
You know what?

863
00:31:10,115 --> 00:31:12,283
I've never had a dominatrix,
so I can't say.

864
00:31:12,317 --> 00:31:15,152
Maybe that's what you need.
A woman to whip you into shape.

865
00:31:15,187 --> 00:31:16,187
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

866
00:31:16,221 --> 00:31:17,221
Maybe.

867
00:31:17,255 --> 00:31:18,622
Literally.

868
00:31:18,656 --> 00:31:19,790
Ho-ho-ho!

869
00:31:19,824 --> 00:31:21,225
Who said that?
Who said that?

870
00:31:25,963 --> 00:31:28,331
I'm starting
to really, really think.

871
00:31:28,365 --> 00:31:31,067
- Don't.
- Walt's not coming.

872
00:31:31,101 --> 00:31:32,335
Yeah, you think?

873
00:31:32,369 --> 00:31:34,103
I'm gonna officially
give up hope on him.

874
00:31:34,137 --> 00:31:36,305
Uh, you know what?
I think I have too.

875
00:31:36,339 --> 00:31:38,607
You gotta
dress him down, man.

876
00:31:38,642 --> 00:31:40,376
- Oh, I will.
- You gotta give it to him.

877
00:31:40,410 --> 00:31:41,744
You gotta turn the tables
on him this time.

878
00:31:41,779 --> 00:31:44,347
I will.
It's gonna be pretty sweet too.

879
00:31:44,382 --> 00:31:46,049
Where were you, man?
You never showed up.

880
00:31:46,083 --> 00:31:48,352
What happened?
Um...

881
00:31:48,386 --> 00:31:50,020
- Just admit to me
and to everyone at this table...

882
00:31:50,055 --> 00:31:51,222
- all right.

883
00:31:51,256 --> 00:31:53,357
That you're one big, rotten chicken.

884
00:31:57,229 --> 00:32:01,166
I have to say, uh,
ming respect gauge...Boom!

885
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,233
Through the roof.

886
00:32:02,268 --> 00:32:04,735
Flanagan, pfft.

887
00:32:04,770 --> 00:32:06,003
Walt's out.

888
00:32:06,037 --> 00:32:07,705
All right, ming?

889
00:32:07,739 --> 00:32:09,540
I like it.
Let's overthrow him.

890
00:32:09,575 --> 00:32:11,709
There might have
to be a coup d'etat, Mike.

891
00:32:11,744 --> 00:32:13,177
Mike runs the stash.

892
00:32:13,212 --> 00:32:15,479
You're his second in command.
Yeah.

893
00:32:15,513 --> 00:32:17,081
And now I'm you.

894
00:32:17,115 --> 00:32:19,083
I don't like
this employed feeling.

895
00:32:19,117 --> 00:32:20,084
It's weird.

896
00:32:20,118 --> 00:32:21,485
Yeah, you're quitting already?

897
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,089
I don't know
if this is gonna work.

898
00:32:25,123 --> 00:32:27,158
Jim Lee signature
on this one, huh?

899
00:32:27,192 --> 00:32:28,392
- Yep.
- How'd you get that?

900
00:32:28,427 --> 00:32:30,328
My mom flirted
with the security guard

901
00:32:30,362 --> 00:32:32,263
at my first
comic book convention.

902
00:32:32,298 --> 00:32:35,667
My mom was the greatest
supporter of my comic habit.

903
00:32:35,701 --> 00:32:37,135
But thank God
she didn't have to do that.

904
00:32:47,284 --> 00:32:49,319
Now Walt, you always
maintained that <i>the munsters</i>

905
00:32:49,353 --> 00:32:52,722
were a little more kid-friendly
as a like, a monster show.

906
00:32:52,756 --> 00:32:55,092
That was my soap box
for about a year or two.

907
00:32:55,126 --> 00:32:58,095
<i>The Addams family</i> was just
a little bit more creepier.

908
00:32:58,129 --> 00:33:01,132
You had Uncle fester
who was really weird looking.

909
00:33:01,166 --> 00:33:03,301
Putting light bulbs
in his mouth, doing weird stuff.

910
00:33:03,335 --> 00:33:04,869
What else was he putting
in his mouth, do you know?

911
00:33:04,904 --> 00:33:08,239
What would Freud say?
Orally fixated, yeah.

912
00:33:08,273 --> 00:33:09,474
Hey, how you doing?

913
00:33:09,508 --> 00:33:11,475
I'm looking
to sell some books.

914
00:33:11,510 --> 00:33:12,543
What do you got?

915
00:33:12,578 --> 00:33:15,145
I got a bunch of cool stuff.

916
00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:16,446
Yeah, you got
some old stuff, huh?

917
00:33:16,481 --> 00:33:18,081
- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh.

918
00:33:18,116 --> 00:33:20,884
You know what this is, right?
It's the key book of the '70s.

919
00:33:27,591 --> 00:33:29,659
I'm definitely interested
in this one.

920
00:33:29,693 --> 00:33:32,696
You know you look
like kirk Cameron?

921
00:33:35,633 --> 00:33:37,767
I got that a lot.

922
00:33:37,802 --> 00:33:39,836
- Oh, look at this
<i>X-Men</i> number one.

923
00:33:47,345 --> 00:33:49,013
Jim Lee signature
on this one, huh?

924
00:33:49,047 --> 00:33:50,314
- Yep.
- How'd you get that?

925
00:33:50,348 --> 00:33:53,184
Um, my mom flirted
with the security guard

926
00:33:53,218 --> 00:33:54,752
at my first
comic book convention.

927
00:33:54,787 --> 00:33:56,287
Bumped me up
to the head of the line.

928
00:33:56,322 --> 00:33:58,256
- How old were you?
- I was about 14.

929
00:33:58,290 --> 00:34:01,793
I've always maintained my mom
was the greatest supporter

930
00:34:01,827 --> 00:34:03,061
of my comic habit.

931
00:34:03,095 --> 00:34:04,796
But thank God
she didn't have to do that.

932
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:06,798
Grandma gave up the ass
so I could meet Stan Lee.

933
00:34:09,568 --> 00:34:11,168
Oh, "killing joke."

934
00:34:11,202 --> 00:34:13,037
Yeah, you remember this one,
right, Bry?

935
00:34:19,844 --> 00:34:21,110
Did you have this one?

936
00:34:21,145 --> 00:34:22,678
No, but I remember
it coming out and you and kev

937
00:34:22,713 --> 00:34:24,247
buying multiple copies of it.

938
00:34:24,281 --> 00:34:25,349
That's right.

939
00:34:25,383 --> 00:34:27,184
It was quite the wall-book
back in the day.

940
00:34:27,218 --> 00:34:28,485
It still is.

941
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,321
It's still a very
historically significant issue.

942
00:34:30,355 --> 00:34:32,857
I don't think you can
take away the impact

943
00:34:32,891 --> 00:34:35,860
that Alan Moore, Brian Bolland
had in the Batman mythes.

944
00:34:35,894 --> 00:34:38,897
I mean, this is the issue
that they crippled batgirl.

945
00:34:38,931 --> 00:34:40,632
I remember more about
you and kev in the backseat

946
00:34:40,666 --> 00:34:41,633
as I drove.

947
00:34:41,667 --> 00:34:42,734
Oh, she's crippled!

948
00:34:42,768 --> 00:34:45,137
Oh, comics! Whoo!

949
00:34:45,171 --> 00:34:48,206
Oh, you even have
the Ditko <i>Mr. a</i> stuff.

950
00:34:48,241 --> 00:34:49,774
This is awesome.

951
00:34:57,716 --> 00:35:01,418
You don't see this very often.
It's almost like a newspaper.

952
00:35:01,452 --> 00:35:02,819
What is <i>Mr. a?</i>

953
00:35:02,853 --> 00:35:05,521
<i>Mr. a</i> was one of the very
first independent books.

954
00:35:05,556 --> 00:35:09,059
Steve Ditko had left mainstream
and put out a side project

955
00:35:09,094 --> 00:35:11,929
called Mr. a who was
the precursor to <i>the question.</i>

956
00:35:11,963 --> 00:35:13,230
- To <i>the question,</i> right?
- Right.

957
00:35:13,264 --> 00:35:14,732
Who's your favorite
Ditko character?

958
00:35:14,766 --> 00:35:16,367
- Uh, question.
- Me too.

959
00:35:16,401 --> 00:35:18,069
- Yeah.
- He's definitely my favorite.

960
00:35:18,104 --> 00:35:19,404
Wow.

961
00:35:19,438 --> 00:35:20,672
You're like the son
I never had, man.

962
00:35:20,707 --> 00:35:22,274
Wanna
go get a cup of coffee?

963
00:35:22,308 --> 00:35:23,775
Hey, you jealous back there?

964
00:35:23,810 --> 00:35:25,711
'Cause you don't know
what we're talking about, right?

965
00:35:25,745 --> 00:35:26,946
- Sure.
- This bugs you...

966
00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:28,213
every time somebody comes in

967
00:35:28,248 --> 00:35:29,348
and knows about comics,
the jokes come out.

968
00:35:29,382 --> 00:35:30,583
You get that big smile
on your face, like,

969
00:35:30,617 --> 00:35:33,019
"I wish you were my friend
instead of Bry."

970
00:35:33,053 --> 00:35:35,988
New model rolls up,
suddenly the old model

971
00:35:36,022 --> 00:35:36,989
looking a little
worse for wear.

972
00:35:37,023 --> 00:35:39,058
- Mm-hm, a couple of days.
- Yeah.

973
00:35:39,092 --> 00:35:40,559
A couple?

974
00:35:42,028 --> 00:35:43,362
- This guy,
he just was starry-eyed.

975
00:35:43,396 --> 00:35:44,830
You know, I'm buttering
the guy up a little bit.

976
00:35:44,864 --> 00:35:47,332
I'm setting him up
to be, like, an elk.

977
00:35:47,366 --> 00:35:50,134
Unaware, just sip that water
as I creep up behind you.

978
00:35:50,169 --> 00:35:52,036
And then mate with you.

979
00:35:53,706 --> 00:35:55,373
What are you looking for
for these four?

980
00:35:55,408 --> 00:35:57,642
What are <i>you</i>
thinking for them?

981
00:35:57,762 --> 00:35:59,211
- This is gonna be
a throw-in for me personally,

982
00:35:59,245 --> 00:36:00,645
because I just want to read it

983
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,747
and, um, it probably
isn't worth that much

984
00:36:02,781 --> 00:36:04,849
in the condition it's in
with the staining.

985
00:36:04,883 --> 00:36:05,983
Yeah.

986
00:36:06,018 --> 00:36:08,085
Uh, killing joke,
um, the best I could do

987
00:36:08,119 --> 00:36:09,119
is 10 bucks for this one.

988
00:36:09,154 --> 00:36:10,821
Whatever number we come in on,

989
00:36:10,855 --> 00:36:11,888
it's gonna
be based on these two.

990
00:36:11,923 --> 00:36:13,857
- Okay.
- What do you think, Mike?

991
00:36:13,891 --> 00:36:15,558
425.

992
00:36:15,593 --> 00:36:18,794
- 425?
- Yeah, for all of them.

993
00:36:18,829 --> 00:36:19,929
Cue mom.

994
00:36:21,932 --> 00:36:23,198
To work her magic.

995
00:36:24,401 --> 00:36:28,304
Oh, hello, boys.

996
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,644
At that, I don't think
I could let those go.

997
00:36:33,678 --> 00:36:34,845
What about 450?

998
00:36:34,879 --> 00:36:36,914
It's only,
like, 25 bucks more.

999
00:36:36,949 --> 00:36:39,450
500.

1000
00:36:39,485 --> 00:36:41,119
What are you looking for?

1001
00:36:41,154 --> 00:36:43,088
It would probably be...

1002
00:36:43,122 --> 00:36:44,123
1,000.

1003
00:36:44,157 --> 00:36:46,358
No, not for that price.

1004
00:36:46,393 --> 00:36:48,593
But I'm really
interested in this.

1005
00:36:48,628 --> 00:36:51,229
Can I buy this
off you for a buck?

1006
00:36:51,263 --> 00:36:52,430
- For a buck?
- Yeah.

1007
00:36:52,465 --> 00:36:53,431
I bought it for 5.

1008
00:36:53,465 --> 00:36:56,100
All right, you just lost 80%.

1009
00:36:56,134 --> 00:36:58,235
What about 12 for the pair?

1010
00:36:58,269 --> 00:37:01,504
- <i>Mr. a</i> and "the killing joke."
- Yeah.

1011
00:37:01,539 --> 00:37:03,206
- And a handshake?
- And a handshake.

1012
00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:04,240
And a hug?

1013
00:37:05,242 --> 00:37:07,510
And a hug.

1014
00:37:08,579 --> 00:37:09,846
- Okay.
- Oh, wow, oh.

1015
00:37:09,881 --> 00:37:12,783
Sealed with a hug
as most businesses these days.

1016
00:37:13,985 --> 00:37:16,787
- A hug!
- God, was it awkward looking.

1017
00:37:16,822 --> 00:37:18,857
- The sweet talk paid off, man.
- It did.

1018
00:37:18,891 --> 00:37:20,825
See? See what he does?
He knows what he's doing.

1019
00:37:20,860 --> 00:37:22,928
Sometimes you gotta know when
to go into a little bit of

1020
00:37:22,962 --> 00:37:24,497
a soft touch and then
you go into another guy

1021
00:37:24,531 --> 00:37:25,898
with a hard touch.

1022
00:37:25,932 --> 00:37:27,299
It all depends on
who you're touching.

1023
00:37:27,333 --> 00:37:29,134
I've never gotten
a soft touch in my life.

1024
00:37:35,207 --> 00:37:37,574
- Anything from Walt yet?
- Not a word.

1025
00:37:37,609 --> 00:37:39,309
I emailed him.
I haven't heard from him either.

1026
00:37:39,344 --> 00:37:41,278
Maybe something's really wrong.

1027
00:37:41,312 --> 00:37:43,213
What if our friend is dead?

1028
00:37:44,415 --> 00:37:46,149
- There he is.
- He is alive.

1029
00:37:46,183 --> 00:37:49,968
- Where the hell were you?
- I thought we had a date.

1030
00:37:50,088 --> 00:37:51,354
- What are you talking about?
- Yesterday.

1031
00:37:51,389 --> 00:37:53,923
Where the hell were you?
Oh, wait, let me take a guess

1032
00:37:53,958 --> 00:37:55,358
you were at the toy store.

1033
00:37:55,392 --> 00:37:57,394
Holding your wife's hand,
buying a video game system.

1034
00:37:57,428 --> 00:37:59,129
Wait a minute.

1035
00:37:59,164 --> 00:38:00,531
You guys really
went and got tattoos.

1036
00:38:00,565 --> 00:38:02,166
You thought I was serious?

1037
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,401
- You backed out.
- Honestly.

1038
00:38:03,435 --> 00:38:04,669
Honestly,
tell me what happened.

1039
00:38:04,703 --> 00:38:06,404
Did you really
think I was coming?

1040
00:38:06,438 --> 00:38:08,573
I found it just stunning
that they believed

1041
00:38:08,607 --> 00:38:10,208
that I was gonna
go through with it at all.

1042
00:38:11,711 --> 00:38:13,112
I had no intention
of ever going.

1043
00:38:13,146 --> 00:38:14,680
And the whole thing
was predicated upon him

1044
00:38:14,714 --> 00:38:16,782
going, like,
"remember back in 1995?"

1045
00:38:16,816 --> 00:38:18,518
And then you two bozos
chiming in.

1046
00:38:18,552 --> 00:38:20,820
I was, like, you know how
I'm gonna fix your two asses?

1047
00:38:20,855 --> 00:38:22,722
I'm gonna throw
a challenge down

1048
00:38:22,756 --> 00:38:23,923
and you're gonna
be stupid enough to believe it

1049
00:38:23,958 --> 00:38:25,591
and go there and get tattoos.

1050
00:38:25,625 --> 00:38:27,393
This is the part of the movie
where the villain tells you

1051
00:38:27,427 --> 00:38:28,393
his plan.

1052
00:38:30,897 --> 00:38:32,064
You're angry I assume.

1053
00:38:32,098 --> 00:38:33,331
Oh, I'm very angry.

1054
00:38:33,365 --> 00:38:35,133
A real man does what
he says he's gonna do.

1055
00:38:35,167 --> 00:38:37,268
- So that's all...
is that all I've lost?

1056
00:38:37,302 --> 00:38:39,036
I've lost your respect?

1057
00:38:39,071 --> 00:38:40,404
You're almost at the point
where you don't get to tell me

1058
00:38:40,439 --> 00:38:42,073
what to do any more.

1059
00:38:42,107 --> 00:38:43,074
- Whoa!
Ho-ho-ho!

1060
00:38:43,108 --> 00:38:44,308
You hear when
he said it, though?

1061
00:38:44,342 --> 00:38:45,576
His voice cracked!

1062
00:38:47,012 --> 00:38:49,347
The boy's voice is quivering,
I'll give you that.

1063
00:38:49,381 --> 00:38:51,449
I can't believe
he got the words out, though.

1064
00:38:51,484 --> 00:38:53,051
I like this new ming.

1065
00:38:53,086 --> 00:38:55,087
All right, man.
We've heard about them.

1066
00:38:55,121 --> 00:38:57,890
Uh, we've talked about them.
We've lamented getting them.

1067
00:38:57,924 --> 00:39:00,526
We fought over them almost.

1068
00:39:00,561 --> 00:39:02,362
Can I see them?
Can I see the tattoos?

1069
00:39:02,396 --> 00:39:03,763
I mean, this is the part
of the story where you're, like,

1070
00:39:03,797 --> 00:39:05,097
"I put them on my wiener."

1071
00:39:05,132 --> 00:39:06,865
Where'd you put the tattoos
and can I see them?

1072
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:08,300
On our wieners.

1073
00:39:09,902 --> 00:39:10,969
Where'd you get yours?

1074
00:39:11,003 --> 00:39:12,037
I got mine
on the back shoulder here.

1075
00:39:12,071 --> 00:39:13,271
- Let's see.
- You wanna see it?

1076
00:39:13,305 --> 00:39:15,139
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- All right.

1077
00:39:15,173 --> 00:39:16,674
There it is.
Oh, that's good!

1078
00:39:16,708 --> 00:39:19,242
It's a Chinese family seal
that my grandmother designed.

1079
00:39:19,277 --> 00:39:20,310
- Good, man.
- Pretty bad-ass, right?

1080
00:39:20,344 --> 00:39:21,378
Yeah, yeah, it's red.

1081
00:39:21,412 --> 00:39:22,779
You gotta put some stuff
on that.

1082
00:39:22,813 --> 00:39:24,280
It's infected.

1083
00:39:24,315 --> 00:39:26,449
I didn't wanna worry him,
but yeah, it looks pretty bad.

1084
00:39:26,483 --> 00:39:28,050
Zap, what'd you get?

1085
00:39:28,085 --> 00:39:29,618
Uh, my wife's name
in scrimshaw.

1086
00:39:29,653 --> 00:39:32,087
That's awesome, dude.
Look at that, man.

1087
00:39:32,122 --> 00:39:34,423
As much as I was
leaning towards the superman,

1088
00:39:34,458 --> 00:39:35,792
I love my wife more.

1089
00:39:35,826 --> 00:39:38,061
Well, that's good,
I mean you gotta say that?

1090
00:39:38,095 --> 00:39:39,796
Yeah, it is kind of one
of those things, like,

1091
00:39:39,831 --> 00:39:41,731
"give me a pat on the back
for doing what's right."

1092
00:39:42,867 --> 00:39:44,067
Good job, Mike, good job.

1093
00:39:44,101 --> 00:39:45,116
All right,
we covered these cats.

1094
00:39:45,236 --> 00:39:46,669
What did you decide to go with?

1095
00:39:46,704 --> 00:39:50,040
It's zombie sagie
riding a tricycle.

1096
00:39:50,074 --> 00:39:51,574
Oh, my God,
look at the commitment.

1097
00:39:51,609 --> 00:39:53,542
Dude, it's your arm.
It's a sleeve for heaven's sake.

1098
00:39:53,577 --> 00:39:55,544
And it's got T.E.S.D.
In the middle.

1099
00:39:55,578 --> 00:39:57,546
- A little
"tell 'em Steve-Dave" shirt.

1100
00:39:57,580 --> 00:39:59,781
That is awesome.
Did you show your niece?

1101
00:39:59,816 --> 00:40:00,982
I did.

1102
00:40:01,017 --> 00:40:02,617
Little kid!
Bryan!

1103
00:40:02,652 --> 00:40:03,818
Hi.

1104
00:40:03,853 --> 00:40:05,754
Hello, what are you doing?

1105
00:40:05,788 --> 00:40:07,790
- I'm a zombie.
- You're a zombie?

1106
00:40:07,824 --> 00:40:09,658
- Yes.
- Oh.

1107
00:40:09,693 --> 00:40:11,094
Did I tell you?

1108
00:40:11,128 --> 00:40:12,428
Do you like zombies?

1109
00:40:12,463 --> 00:40:15,064
Do you want me to show you
a picture of zombie sagie?

1110
00:40:15,099 --> 00:40:16,599
You do? Okay.

1111
00:40:16,634 --> 00:40:19,502
You ready?
Yes.

1112
00:40:19,537 --> 00:40:21,238
Zombie sagie.

1113
00:40:21,272 --> 00:40:23,674
- The zombie's me.
- That is you.

1114
00:40:23,708 --> 00:40:24,842
She loves it.
I know.

1115
00:40:24,876 --> 00:40:26,143
I was sweatin' it a little bit.
Really?

1116
00:40:26,177 --> 00:40:27,878
See, you're riding your bike.

1117
00:40:27,913 --> 00:40:29,146
Unh.

1118
00:40:29,180 --> 00:40:30,681
Okay, we'll go get something
to eat, okay?

1119
00:40:30,715 --> 00:40:33,283
You like zombies?

1120
00:40:33,318 --> 00:40:35,152
Say, "Walt I love zombies."

1121
00:40:35,186 --> 00:40:37,120
Walt, raah!

1122
00:40:40,190 --> 00:40:42,124
Ready?
You wanna go?

1123
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:43,259
Okay.

1124
00:40:43,293 --> 00:40:44,660
- All right,
be back in a half-hour.

1125
00:40:44,694 --> 00:40:46,028
Come on, man.

1126
00:40:46,062 --> 00:40:47,663
This ain't no hour lunch break.

1127
00:40:47,698 --> 00:40:50,901
Okay, thanks for pretending
I'm employed in front of her.

1128
00:40:53,338 --> 00:40:54,705
Bye, Walt.
- Bye-bye.

1129
00:40:54,739 --> 00:40:57,641
Bye.

1130
00:40:57,675 --> 00:40:59,143
Well, man,
it's kind of amazing.

1131
00:40:59,177 --> 00:41:01,078
You guys all went out
and got some ink

1132
00:41:01,112 --> 00:41:03,214
that'll be on your bodies
until you go to the grave.

1133
00:41:03,248 --> 00:41:05,550
It'll be on your bodies
even afterwards.

1134
00:41:05,584 --> 00:41:08,987
Um, it started as what seemed
like a bonding exercise

1135
00:41:09,021 --> 00:41:11,423
but ended in
a real big comeuppance.

1136
00:41:13,159 --> 00:41:16,328
Some feelings were hurt,
there was a lot of confusion.

1137
00:41:16,362 --> 00:41:17,962
But I think
we all learned something.

1138
00:41:17,997 --> 00:41:19,497
I can't believe it,
man, but that's it

1139
00:41:19,532 --> 00:41:21,433
for another episode
of <i>comic book men.</i>

1140
00:41:21,467 --> 00:41:23,435
Thanks for hanging out with us
listening to the tales,

1141
00:41:23,469 --> 00:41:25,537
the Wooly adventures,
in the world of retail

1142
00:41:25,571 --> 00:41:26,772
and four color images.

1143
00:41:26,806 --> 00:41:28,907
I'm Kevin Smith.
Walt Flanagan.

1144
00:41:28,942 --> 00:41:30,275
- Bryan Johnson.
- Ming Chen.

1145
00:41:30,310 --> 00:41:32,211
And Michael Zapcic.

1146
00:41:32,245 --> 00:41:34,247
May the force
be with you, kids.

1147
00:41:34,281 --> 00:41:36,149
Good night.

1148
00:41:36,269 --> 00:41:38,001
