I know what you're thinking. "What the heck do I need a five spindle for, when I barely sell enough milkshakes to justify my single spindle?" Right? Wrong. Are you familiar with the notion of the chicken or the egg, Mr. Griffith? I mention it because, well, I think it applies here. Do you not need the multi-mixer because, well heck, you're not selling enough milkshakes? Or are you not selling enough milkshakes because you don't have a multi-mixer? I firmly believe it's the latter. You see your customer comes in here and he knows if he orders a shake from your establishment, he's in for a terrific wait. He's done it before and he thinks to himself, "Well by-golly, I'm not going to make that mistake again." But if you had the Prince Castle five spindle multi-mixer with patented direct-drive electric motor, we greatly increase your ability to produce delicious, frosty milkshakes fast. Mark my words, dollars to donuts, you'll be selling more of those sons-a-bitches than you can shake a stick at. You increase the supply, and the demand will follow. Increase supply, demand follows. Chicken-egg. Do you follow my logic? I know you do, because you're a bright forward-thinking guy who knows a good idea when he hears one.

Put your back into it, Seth! And pickles and pickle and mustard! We take the layout to a builder, custom build the kitchen to our exact specs. - Tada! The Speedee System is born. The world's first-ever system to deliver food fast. It's totally revolutionary. - And a complete disaster. - Why? Opening day, cars pull up onto the lot and they start honking immediately because no carhop comes up. You place your order! - We try to explain to them the walk-up window. And they are bewildered. Now they're furious. What do you mean I gotta get out of my car? Most of them just cuss us out and drive off. And the few that stay are mad as heck because they're eating off paper and they gotta discard their own trash. - Why? - You're doing great. Yeah, we won't be coming out to the car, but you can come on up. Welcome to McDonald's! We may have underestimated the learning curve. - So by five o'clock Dick is calculating how much it's going to cost to go back to drive-in. But I am not ready to throw in the towel. I go back to our old Hollywood days, I think to myself, we gotta go big with this. We gotta put on a show. So I say, "Dick, I wanna throw a grand re-opening. A gala premiere that would put Louis B. Mayer to shame." So we rent a bunch of spotlights. Same ones we used to haul around in the Columbia days. We get sparklers, a juggler for the kiddies. It is an event, people show up in droves. - And then... - The flies. They must've been drawn by all the lights. Millions of them. It was like a scene outta Exodus. The Pharaoh would've released the Israelites.

See all this open space here now? We've rearranged the fry situation. So now it's stage left. The deep fryer stage right. Begin! That's great. - Come on, guys. - We're pretty tied up here. - Watch out, it's the timing of the Lazy-Susan. Those are finished burgers. You can't... Hold it. I-I still think there's a third version. - What do you want to move? - I want to move everything. Back to stage left, please.

- And Dick is running around with this stick marking where all the equipment should be. - Tuck in. Tony are you going to skip the pickles when we're really doing it? - They do it over and over, hashing it out. Choreographing it like some crazy burger ballet. What's going on over there? - Yes! No! No!
