- 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.

Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent won't; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't; unrewarded genius is practically a cliché. Education won't; the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful. Show that you don't have to be defeated by anything. That you can have peace of mind, improved health and a never ceasing flow of energy. If you attempt each and every day to achieve these things, the results will make themselves obvious to you. While it may sound like a magical notion, it is in you to create your own future. The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson declared, "A man is what he thinks about all day long."

- 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!

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.
