- Franchise! - Beg your pardon? - Franchise! Franchise the damn thing! It's too damn good for just one location. There should be McDonald's everywhere. Coast to coast. Sea to shining sea. - Mr. Kroc... - Hey, you know I... I got a confession I want to make to you boys. I'm not out here in California for any kind of business meetings. I came out here for you. A few days ago, I got into St. Louis, Missouri. And I was doing some business, and I broke out my map. And I followed my finger on one single highway west. Route 66. - Mr. Kroc... - And something told me. Something told me to get into my car and drive that highway. And you know where it led me? Right here. Right smack dab here. Right to this unbelievable establishment. And when I saw these lines and your whole operation, and tasted your product, I knew what needed to happen. Franchise. Franchise! Franchise! Franchise! Franchise!

- No, they're perfect. - I think we should drop to two minutes, fifty seconds. - Wasn't that what we were at before? - 400, not 375. Higher temp, shorter cook. - I think they're spot on. - Excuse me, may I? None of my beeswax, but I'm with the big fella here. I loved them. Golden brown on the outside. Fluffy white inside. And they're not too oily, salty, crunchy. Who are you? - Oh, this is Ray Kroc. The multi-mixer fella you spoke to. - When do you figure we can expect them? - Umm, sent them blue-label air... - Good-good. - Hey, wait, wait. Wait. Wait a minute. I'm going to take you out to dinner. - You're really not my type. You and your brother. - What for? - This is the most remarkable restaurant I've seen in all my years in the food service industry. And I've seen it all. I wanna hear your story.

There's a lot of good leads, real-real strong leads. Yeah. What? Nothing. That's wonderful. - Well, I mean, there's just tremendous interest. - I'm sure there is. - You sound like you don't believe me. - Of course, Ray. Why wouldn't I? - All right. I've got a lot of paperwork to do here. So ahh... I'll... I'll call you from the road tomorrow. - Okay. - All right. Goodnight.

Five. Three in Southern California. One in Sacramento. And one in Phoenix. And that's all there will ever be. - Why? - Two-words. Quality control. It's almost impossible to enforce standards from afar. Places were a mess, filthy kitchens, inconsistent menus. - Sacramento was selling burritos. - To watch your precious creation be mismanaged like that... Your name... - Put Mac in the hospital.

Costs a fraction of ice cream and there's no refrigeration necessary. - It contains powdered milk. Thickening agents and emulsifiers simulate the texture of ice cream. Tastes just like the real thing. - It's easy as pie to make. You put a packet into a glass of water and stir it. - I know maybe a tad blasphemous, what with your dairy background and all. - Personally, I think it's a marvelous idea.

- Hello, McDonald's. - Hello, good afternoon. May I please speak with the owner. - Which one? - I'm sorry? - Dick or Mac? - Ahh, whichever one's available, I guess. - Order up! I need six fries! - Patties up! - This is Dick. - Hello, Dick, this is Ray Kroc from Prince Castle Sales. The reason I'm calling is someone placed an order... - Yes. Yes, that was me. How soon can you get them out here? - Well, that's actually why I'm phoning now, Dick. I think there might have been some kind of miscommunication... - Freezer! Top shelf! Left side! Sorry. - No problem. My secretary's under the impression that you wanted six? - Yeah, you know, I think that was a mistake. - Well, that's what I figured. I mean, what kind of drive-in can make 30 milkshakes at a time. - Better make it eight. - What's that, Al? - There's a brand new box... - Look, now isn't the best time. - Yeah, I'm sorry. I understand. I'm still a little bit... - You know where to send them? San Bernardino, California. - Yeah. - Corner of 14th and E. - Hold on a minute. To anyone in particular? - Just the store is fine. McDonald's. Okay. Thanks a lot. - Yeah.

- $12,400. - That's pretty good haul for month one. - Could be bigger. I hate to mix business with pleasure. - I don't. - But my expenses. - What about them? - Well, they're a bit higher than anticipated. One thing in particular, that dang walk-in. That bill is a real whopper. - I know, it's a problem, all that ice cream. - I don't want to overstep my bounds here. But, we may have found a solution. Or Joan did, actually.
