I'm looking at a letterhead with the name McDonald's on it. You care to explain? - It was confusing, people didn't even know it had anything to do with McDonald's. - What's confusing is you calling yourself the McDonald's Corporation. People will think it's the whole company, not just the real estate arm which we strongly suspect is what you hope. - You put Dick's Arches on your letterhead? This is not your company, Ray! - Mac... - Do you understand that! - Mac, don't get upset. - We came up with the Speedee System, not you! Us! What have you ever come up with! Can you name one thing? You can't! And you never have and you never will. Because you are a leech, Ray. You are a professional leech! - You know what I came up with, Mac? A concept. I came up with the concept of winning. - Let me talk to him. - While you two boys were content to sit back and be a couple of also-rans. I'm going to take the future. I wanna win. And you don't get there by being some aw-shucks, nice-guy sap. There's no place in business for people like that. Business is war. It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat. If my competitor were drowning, I'd walk over and I'd put a hose right in his mouth. Can you say the same? - I can't, nor would I want to. - Hence your single location. - We want you out of this company, Ray! - Mac, how do you propose you do that. - We will sue you, whatever it takes! - And you'd probably win. But you can't afford to sue me. I'd bury you in court costs alone. Mac, I'm the President and CEO of a major corporation with land holdings in 17 states. You run a burger stand in the desert. I'm national. You're fucking local.

- Hiya, Dick. - I just received a very disconcerting call. - Oh? - From Buddy Jepsen. Our operator in Sacramento. - I'm very aware of who Buddy Jepsen is. - He told me he received a shipment this morning. - Oh, it arrived. - You are way out of line, Ray. - Gee, I didn't expect that to get there until Friday at the earliest. - Do you mind telling me what you're doing shipping four cases of Inst-A-Mix to one of our operators? - Look, if you don't want to make a profit, that's fine. But don't stop the rest of us. - Us? - Us. As in everyone but you. - Who did you send them to? - Everyone but you. - You have no right, you are to stop this instant. Is that clear? - Nah. - What the hell does that mean! Nah! - You will abide by the terms of your deal! - I am through taking marching orders from you. You and your endless parade of nos. Constantly cowering in the face of progress. - If phony powdered milkshakes is your idea of progress, you have a profound misunderstanding of what McDonald's is about! - I have a far greater understanding of McDonald's than you two yokels. - What? You will do as we say. - Nope. - You have a contract! - You know, contracts are like hearts. They're made to be broken.

All right. - All right, gentlemen, if you would turn to page four of your contract. That's the first set of signatures to go over. - I just have to ask you one thing. Something I've never understood. - All right. - That day we met, we gave you the tour. - Uh-huh. What about it? - We showed you everything. The whole system, all our secrets. We were an open book. So why didn't you just... - Steal it? Just grab your ideas, run off, start my own business using all those ideas of yours. Would have failed. - How do you know? - Am I the only one who got the kitchen tour? You must've invited lots of people back there. - And? - How many of them succeed? - Lots of people started restaurants. - As big as McDonald's? Of course not. No one ever has and no one ever will. Because they all lack that one thing that makes McDonald's special. - Which is...?
