- Well... So you put somebody in charge to supervise them. - We did. - So what happened? - He obviously didn't do a great job. - So you hire somebody else, get somebody better. - Our energies are better spent making this place the best it can possibly be. - It's better to have one great restaurant - than fifty mediocre ones. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I still think if you hire the right guy... - Ray, we're not interested. - Look, I think you boys are missing something here that is... I tell ya, you got something here.

Ethel! In here. - Oh boy, I saw a restaurant, I've never seen a restaurant like this in my life. They've got this fully automated system. It's called the Speedee System. - Mm-hmm. - Which is a good name for it, 'cause man it is speedy. I'm telling you it's like something sprung from the mind of Henry Ford or something. - It's revolutionary? - It's revolutionary. Exactly what it is, it's revolutionary. - And you want to invest in it? - I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure yet. But I just know I want to be part of it.

Why should I settle when other men won't? - I don't know, Ray. - Maybe if I had a wife with an ounce of vision. Showed me an ounce of support. Sorry. Wrong word. - I've done nothing but support you! - Look, I'm sorry. - No. Ups, downs. Dwindling savings, your schemes. - You're right.

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.
