Heres a Description and History of Stan the Salesman from Wikapedia!!!! Stan, full-name Smilin' Stan S. Stanman, is a fast-talking, fast-moving salesman. The voice of Stan was provided by Patrick Pinney in The Curse of Monkey Island and Pat Fraley in Escape from Monkey Island. Pinney reprises the character for The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. Over the course of the series, he has run a number of other businesses, each as dubious as his original career. The appearance of this eternal huckster is fitting: his outfit is vaguely pirate-like, but invariably an obnoxious blend of clashing colors and patterns. He always wears a huge hat that seems to be a cross between a traditional buccaneer's hat and a sombrero. He tries to overwhelm potential customers with a constant flood of patter while his arms wave distractingly. He rarely stops talking and never, ever admits that he has cheated a customer. Stan's initial appearance was as a shady used boat salesman (satirizing the stereotype of the used car salesman) on Mle Island in The Secret of Monkey Island; at the end of the game, the LeChuck delivers a mighty punch to Stan, hurling him into the waters around Mle. Stan turns up again in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge as the proprietor of a used coffin shop on Booty Island—he turned to the coffin business because his customers are unable to come back and complain. In between the first and second games, he also operated "Stan's Previously-owned Restaurant Supplies", and sold an ineffective flame-retardant apron to Rapp Scallion, who burned to death in a flash fire staged by LeChuck. In the course of the second game, Guybrush traps Stan inside one of his own cheap coffins. Stan ends up in a crypt on Blood Island and manages to survive until Guybrush frees him in The Curse of Monkey Island a year later. Supposedly given "a new lease on life", Stan immediately begins selling life insurance from his new office in the crypt. Over the course of the game, Guybrush questions how Stan could have had business cards made while trapped within a coffin, purchases a policy, fakes his own death and collects a large payout; this convinces Stan to get out of the insurance industry. He resurfaces once again in Escape from Monkey Island: the enterprising Stan has moved on to a condominium timeshare scheme on Jambalaya Island. His only action in the game to give Guybrush a three hour long sales-pitch, so that Guybrush can receive a voucher for a meal at a restaurant on the island. In Tales of Monkey Island, Stan appears as the prosecuting lawyer as the Pirate Court places Guybrush on trial for various crimes, all of which carry the death penalty. Stan claims to have attended law school between "Escape" and "Tales", and also sets up a stall selling Guybrush Threepwood souvenirs.
