- Where's the... Where's the front of the apron? - Show me. - All right. Just make sure the windows are big enough so the customers can look into the restaurant. All the way to the kitchen. Doesn't look right. Let me see this. - Ray. - What? - We got a letter from San Bernardino. - Read it to me. - Dear Ray. Thank you for your letter sharing your idea to strike a deal with Coca-Cola to sponsor menu boards at the new Des Plaines location. An intriguing notion, indeed. As you rightly point out, such an arrangement would provide a steady source of revenue to the store at no additional labor cost. - However... - However? However, what? - However, this is a concept that goes beyond our core beliefs. McDonald's was founded with the idea of families and not strict commerce. - Sons of bitches, they don't know what the hell... - And so on and so on...

Here you go, gentlemen. Back to work. - Let me explain. It'll be real small, along the bottom. Very discreet. - We're just not comfortable with the notion of turning our menu into an advertisement. - See it's not an ad, it's sponsorship. - It's distasteful. - It's free money! - There are plenty of things we could do to make a quick buck, - that doesn't mean we should. - Loads of restaurants do it! - Well, we don't. - Why not? - Cause I have no interest in indulging in that sort of crass commercialism. It's not McDonald's. - I didn't realize I was partnering with a beatnik. - I'll have you know I'm a card-carrying Republican. - Yeah, well you coulda fooled me. - He hung up again. - He's just... He's just a little excitable, that's all.

- 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.

June, did you schedule the stakeout with the engineer? All set. - What about the fire department?

Hey, what's going on with San Bernardino, by the way? - I just spoke to Dick, he says they're working on it. - They're working on it? - That's what he said. - Ray Kroc on the line.

- 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.
