Guys who are willing to roll up their sleeves. People with drive. They got a little fire in the belly. Got a little chutzpah! I stand right here before you today and I'm going to offer you something as precious as gold. You know what that is? Anybody? Anybody? Opportunity! It's opportunity! Opportunity. Opportunity to advance. To move forward. To move up, to advance. To succeed. To win. To step up. The sky's the limit. The sky's the limit. To grab the brass ring!

- Dick. Is he a pain in the rear? Yes. Does he have a few screws loose? You bet. But that doesn't mean he's going to do us any harm. - How long are you going to keep this up, Mac? - Keep up what? - The whole "everything is fine" act. There's a wolf in the henhouse. We let him in! I never should have listened. - We have a contract for just this sort of thing, Dick! - I should have trusted my gut. - So it's my fault, huh? Just like the movie theater? Well, I'm sorry I wanted you to have your dream.

- Hiya, Ray. - I want to renegotiate. - Renegotiate what? - My deal. My lousy deal. 1.4 doesn't even cover my monthly nut, let alone drive expansion. - Ray, those are the terms. - It's not good enough. - It's almost triple our cut. - You should be getting more too then, shouldn't you? - We are not greedy men. - Greed has nothing to do with it. If I had more money to work with, I could be growing this thing at twice the pace. - We have no beef with the current rate of expansion. - I've got nothing, not one location in Pennsylvania. - Nothing in New York. - All in good time. - Nothing in Texas. - I have no doubt it will come. - I'm out here breaking my neck for you guys. - And you're doing a bang-up job. - Well, then I should be doing a heck of a lot better - than just breaking even. - I don't know what to say. - Say you'll renegotiate. - I can't. - Can't or won't? - Upping your cut it would be unfair to the franchisees. - The franchisees are doing just fine! I'm the one that's drowning here. - You freely and willingly agreed to the terms of your deal, Ray. Nobody put a gun to your head. - Four percent? - No. - Three and a half percent? - Ray... - What? - No! - Goddamn it!

- McDonald's. I just found a way to save you, me, and all the owner-operators literally hundreds of dollars a year in electrical costs. - And what would that be? - Two words, powdered milkshake. I'm telling you I came across a remarkable product called Inst-A-Mix. Like I say, it's a powdered milkshake. It's a fraction of the cost of ice cream and requires no refrigeration. - Ray... - I tell ya, I tried it myself, it tastes just like the real thing. It's delicious. Comes in chocolate, comes in vanilla. Me, I'm a vanilla man. - Ray, we have no interest in a milkshake that contains no milk. Why don't we add sawdust to the hamburgers while we're at it? Frozen French fries! - You don't want to save a bundle? - Not like that. - We're talking about the same great taste. Same great taste while boosting the bottom line. - It's called a milkshake, Ray! Real milk, now and forever! - I understand. I'm just asking you to extend my line. - Until you build more equity in your home or pay down the loan, there's nothing I can do. - My business is booming. - Unfortunately, that's immaterial. - Well, I've got 13 locations in nine states. - It's a home-equity loan. - Then give me a business loan. - These thirteen locations, you own them? - Me personally? - It's your business, correct? - You own it? - I'm the head of franchising. I'm the one behind this growth. Well, that's all well and good, but you need assets.
