Show transcript0:00I'm Billy, my friends call me Goat, and uh, I run Steven Hagen's Pawn Shop here in Brooklyn.0:08This is Franklin, he helps me out with stuff.0:10Peace.0:12So, we're the only pawn shop in all the 5 boroughs that specializes in uh, the buying, trading of food.0:20I need to know how much can I get for these sweet ass waffles.0:23All right, look, beat it before I call the cops, all right?0:42What's the skankiest food you've ever sold? Under what circumstances?0:46I don't like to think of any of the food as skanky, you know.0:49It's, uh, it's exotic, um.0:51True, yeah.0:51If something has, like, beetles in it, that's like, uh, what, what they eat in the Caribbean.0:56You know, roaches in some parts of the world is a delicacy.0:59Look, I'm not in the mood for this today.1:00You chew it, right?1:03Get out.1:05Come on, man. This has spearmint in it. That's a plant, and that grows in the ground, and that means you eat it, so it's food.1:14Gum is not a food, all right? It has no nutritional value. Can you read?1:19I could get some ice for this.1:20Good for you. Turn around, walk out the door, all right? Or we're going to have trouble, my friend.1:25By the way, I took a crap in your store.1:28That's not food either. Out. Call mom, she's worried about you.1:34How'd you guys meet? How did you meet Franklin?1:37I don't think we ever met. We just sort of knew each other.1:41I've done some bad things when I was younger, uh, like throwing Dobermans at old ladies and the cold cock and redheaded dudes just for the F of it.1:50But Goat, man, he gave me a second chance. He had faith in me.1:56It's 'cause he's cool, you know? Trust me.1:58Why are you drinking the merchandise?2:00What?2:02Why are you drinking the merchandise?2:03This is my soda I was having with my lunch.2:05No, that's m- you got that off the tray, right? That's your soda.2:08What?2:08That's on display.2:09It's like the same. I mean, how am I, it gets confusing.2:11You know, this is why I don't like you bringing food in the store.2:17How much do you pay, Franklin?2:19We have a private deal going that, uh, I think it works for us.2:23He doesn't like me for me to talk about how much it is.2:25Does he hit you, Franklin?2:26Um, sometimes.2:28Don't, don't, don't give into this, man.2:29Shocks me.2:34One time. Box me.2:34One time I threw a, a bucket of clams away because I thought it were rocks, um, and he, and he stung me with the stun gun.2:43Well, that was stupid, man.2:44I2:45You know.2:45I didn't know what they were. I never, I'd never been to the ocean.2:47Why would somebody bring in rocks, you know? We sell food.2:51I know, I thought I got ripped off. I was... That was not a good day.2:57I don't really think of myself as the bad guy. I'm just kind of the waiting room before you hit bottom.3:05Have you ever been robbed, goat?3:07Mm. I don't think so. I'm pretty, uh... We run a tight ship here.3:12Security is pretty...3:14Who's, who's3:15We got-3:15Who's watching the front of the store right now?3:20Hi, motherfucker, give me a meatball sub!3:23It's bulletproof, all right, tough guy?3:25Man, come on! I'm hungry, motherfucker, give me a taco salad!3:29Hey, watch your language.3:30I'm sorry. I thought we had something that could do this. Damn.3:34Get out.3:35Someone took a crap in your store, you know.3:37Don't eat it.3:40We got an OK setup. I sleep on the cot, and uh, Franklin has trained himself to sleep standing up like a horse.3:49What do I love?3:51See now, now you're just making me uncomfortable.3:55Come on, it's a fair question.3:57I don't know, I guess I'm still trying to figure it out.4:00Seems like whether it's a pregnant hooker putting her last Pop-Tart in hock or just some tourist trying to pawn off his continental breakfast, we're all, uh, you know, hungry for something you can't find in Brooklyn.4:13We'll do anything we can to get it, even if it means pawning food.
