Rick: So, what have you got for me?
Jeff Wilpon: I have a one of a kind piece of authentic New York Mets history.
Rick: Really? Sports Memorabilia is a hot market right now. What is it?
Jeff Wilpon: Number 46 of the New York Mets, wearing his white jersey, Ollie Perez.
Rick: Ooof? Really? Hmmm. What are you looking to do here? Pawn him? Sell him?
Jeff Wilpon: Sell him.
Rick: What are you looking to get for him?
Jeff Wilpon: About $20 million.
Chum Lee: I wouldn't take him if you gave ME $20 million. He looks broken.
Rick: Yeah. I'm sorry but ummm, yeah. He is a really niche kind of item. The only real buyers out there would be a team like the Yankees. Even that would be a stretch.
Jeff Wilpon: Are you sure there's nothing you can do?
Rick: I wouldn't even give you $20 dollars for him. It would cost me too much money to try to restore him and then there is no real chance I could move him. Thanks for bringing him by today.
Jeff Wilpon: How about just the jersey? Can I get $50 for it.
Rick: The thing with jerseys is that they are really common. Maybe if it was the black one. That one seems to sell the best. I could move one of those.
Chum: Yeah those black one's are sweet.
Jeff Wilpon: How about I just leave him here for a few days and see if you change your mind?
Rick: (Pointing to Chum) I've already got one head case here to look after. I don't need a second.
(Rick started laughing)
Jeff Wilpon: C'mon Ollie, we have a meeting with the guys from American Pickers in an hour.
Wilpon gathered up his pitcher and left.

This is funny.. I can hear the voices of Chum Lee and Rick. That was cool. If you are a fan of the show, you really can get it. Good Job.
