↑ In Corey's defense, Bugs was only in the movie for a cameo, albeit a prominent one.
↑ "relic" means something that was part of the deceased, be it blood, skin, hair, the ashes from their cremated bodies, etc.; this Squicks Rick out
↑ Presumably, he does find out about it. It was broadcast on national TV, after all.

"I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man, and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years--you never know what is gonna come through that door."
Pawn Stars is a reality show on The History Channel about a three generation pawn store called the "Gold & Silver Pawn Shop" operating in Las Vegas (713 Las Vegas Boulevard South, if you're ever in town). It features historical and rare objects being bought and sold by a family of characters.
The owner of the shop is Rick Harrison , a shrewd businessman who often finds the most obscure and sometimes bizarre things being brought to his shop to be sold. As he has been in the business for a long time and has other hobbies of his own, Rick is generally knowledgeable in music and American History (especially firearms). Anything that is outside of his expertise and/or needs a more proper appraisal he calls upon an assortment of experts who are Proud to Be a Geek , who are usually the ones giving the history lecture.
A big part of the show, and anyone familiar with basic business would know about, is that Rick is generally not willing to purchase an item unless he can get it for about 60% of its market value, and that's not considering any additional costs such as restoration or cataloging, because otherwise he won't make a profit for himself. And not all items are brought into the store itself, as they are often asked to look over exceptionally large items or collections.
Also employed in the shop is Rick's father known as "The Old Man" . His purpose is to reprimand workers for being lazy, be the butt of old jokes, and tell When I Was Your Age stories. Rick's son Corey, known as Big Hoss, also works at the store and is learning the business in order to someday inherit the store - which leads to some father/son conflict. The fourth main character is Chumlee, a long time friend of Corey and the shop Butt Monkey , and is hinted to be smarter than he looks.
Often airs back-to-back on The History Channel with the slightly similar American Pickers . The series has proven so popular that it's getting its own spin-off series, Cajun Pawn Stars , which is basically Pawn Stars IN THE SOUTH ! Rick and Co. are reportedly not pleased .
Rick took so much old stuff to be restored to another guy named Rick, Rick Dale, who runs a Las Vegas antique restoration company, that another spin off, American Restoration was created, which shows them restoring old things like old toys, gas pumps, coke machines and other vending machines, and various other things.
Now has a game show spin-off called Pawnography .
Old Man : (tossing him some bills) You gotta make $1500, so you're gonna be out here for a while.
Rick : Consider it a life lesson.
Cory : A life lesson in what?
Old Man : In not losing money!!!
Chumlee : Too bad you don't have Scrooge McDuck. He reminds me of the Old Man.
Old Man : Thank you, Chumlee. Now shut up.
Old Man : If I give you $7,000, I won't have any money for dinner.
Customer : You give me $7,000, and I'll buy you dinner.
Old Man :...Sounds like a plan.
Fat Back : In my opinion, if you spend any kind of money this car, the Old Man is going to have all three of our butts in a sling.
Rick : I hate it when people know what they have.
Rick : Yeah, it's easy to understand why he had a heart attack, because he just kept (stares at Chumlee) gaining weight gaining weight gaining weight...
Chumlee : ...?
Rick : ...until he died!
Chumlee : This coming from a guy who eats fried food every day ...
Rick : Why haven't I fired you yet?
Peaches :...Because I'm pretty?
Old Man : Chumlee, what color are my eyes?
Chumlee : I can't tell, they're always closed.
(Old Man opens his eyes unusually [for him] wide)
Chumlee : Oh; they're blue .
Rick : So, if I sell this, I'm going to hell...?
Specialist : Pretty much.
Old Man : You're going to hell anyway.
Rick : (as he and Corey stare at the photograph) So, does it move you?
Corey : No, but it makes me wanna have a beer. Under that umbrella.
Corey : Then why is the lion the king of the jungle?!
Rick : Because bears don't live in the jungle!
Old Man : Why are we having this dumb conversation ?!
Rick : You didn't even go fast enough to mess up your hair!
Old Man : At least I have hair!
Artist : "I have pieces of Art for you."
Rick : "They're pieces of something."
Artist : * Death Glare *
Hoss: "Just say 'good job, son'."
Rick: "I ain't sayin' it."
