*Drew comes back after the customer leaves.*

Drew: Rick that signature is 100% legit. Lmao.

3:35 security guy looking like "oh sh!t, drama!" That makes this clip feel quite real.

Book sell without Rebecca? We will Riot

Drew: It's fake.
Rick: How do you know?
Drew: It's one of mine.

Best American Short Story..."A Clean Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingway.
In THE SUN ALSO RISES the narrator (Jake Barnes) does the right thing and LIVES

Money cant buy give you $3 for the book -rick

At $2.75 a book, in 1930 the hourly wage was 30 cents an hour, holy shiznit, what

[artapples]

I just google imaged Ernest Hemingway autographs and the expert was right that one is so fake. What he said about the t-bars being lower is correct too

[whatweather]

“Blew his brains out”, that gentleman doesn’t mince words

[estebbesfunnyclips]

That seller took that pretty well! Either he knew it was a forgery or he's just high! He'd of gotten a better return on $2400 getting lap dances than that turd signature!

[augiedelgado]

I wonder who Rick would side with if Steve & Drew argued over signatures??😁😁

[thedragonauthority]

"My name is Drew. I have every autograph of every person in history memorized. The only piece of equipment I need is a magnifying glass. I don't need examples of signatures to know I'm right. I'm a pro". Give me a break. I wouldn't trust him to check anything. I'd want someone who has examples of signatures and proper equipment. A real pro.

****SPOILER ALERT ~****
The ending to one of the best novels ever written, is given away in this video.
If you've never read the book, and want to; skip this video.

whow rick, did you really just say that 👍👍👍

[jaymcbakerk]

I just googled Hemingway signatures and they’re not at all consistent. He varied up his “E”, the “T line” and so on. If I were the seller I’d definitely be getting someone else to look at it

[kingarthur]

How does Drew know that it's a forgery all he uses is a magnifying glass
