- Hiya, Ray. - I want to renegotiate. - Renegotiate what? - My deal. My lousy deal. 1.4 doesn't even cover my monthly nut, let alone drive expansion. - Ray, those are the terms. - It's not good enough. - It's almost triple our cut. - You should be getting more too then, shouldn't you? - We are not greedy men. - Greed has nothing to do with it. If I had more money to work with, I could be growing this thing at twice the pace. - We have no beef with the current rate of expansion. - I've got nothing, not one location in Pennsylvania. - Nothing in New York. - All in good time. - Nothing in Texas. - I have no doubt it will come. - I'm out here breaking my neck for you guys. - And you're doing a bang-up job. - Well, then I should be doing a heck of a lot better - than just breaking even. - I don't know what to say. - Say you'll renegotiate. - I can't. - Can't or won't? - Upping your cut it would be unfair to the franchisees. - The franchisees are doing just fine! I'm the one that's drowning here. - You freely and willingly agreed to the terms of your deal, Ray. Nobody put a gun to your head. - Four percent? - No. - Three and a half percent? - Ray... - What? - No! - Goddamn it!

- McDonald's. I just found a way to save you, me, and all the owner-operators literally hundreds of dollars a year in electrical costs. - And what would that be? - Two words, powdered milkshake. I'm telling you I came across a remarkable product called Inst-A-Mix. Like I say, it's a powdered milkshake. It's a fraction of the cost of ice cream and requires no refrigeration. - Ray... - I tell ya, I tried it myself, it tastes just like the real thing. It's delicious. Comes in chocolate, comes in vanilla. Me, I'm a vanilla man. - Ray, we have no interest in a milkshake that contains no milk. Why don't we add sawdust to the hamburgers while we're at it? Frozen French fries! - You don't want to save a bundle? - Not like that. - We're talking about the same great taste. Same great taste while boosting the bottom line. - It's called a milkshake, Ray! Real milk, now and forever! - I understand. I'm just asking you to extend my line. - Until you build more equity in your home or pay down the loan, there's nothing I can do. - My business is booming. - Unfortunately, that's immaterial. - Well, I've got 13 locations in nine states. - It's a home-equity loan. - Then give me a business loan. - These thirteen locations, you own them? - Me personally? - It's your business, correct? - You own it? - I'm the head of franchising. I'm the one behind this growth. Well, that's all well and good, but you need assets.
