- I think I've got some people for you. I met this young couple. Very committed. They're from Glenview. High School sweethearts, married for five years and they're looking for a business they can operate together. And they seem very excited. - Yeah, forget that. Everything's changed. - You want a drink? - No... Changed, how? Forget the Chicago suburbs. Think bigger. - Bigger? - I'm not chasing them anymore. They're chasing me now. - What is...? - The trip! The trip I just took. - The trip. How was it? - Triumphant. They rolled out the red carpet. They're kissing this ring. They're begging for McDonald's. Here, have a drink.

- That's outrageous! That's borderline extortion! That's a bunch of bullshit! Bullshit! - I know it seems like a lot now... - Yeah, that seems like a lot of money anytime. - And they want one other thing. - What? - San Bernardino. - Uh-uh. No way. - To give to their longtime employees as a gift. - I need the profits from San Bernardino in order to pay off the purchase loan. - I've spoken at length about it with their lawyers.
