- 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.

- Boy... - So here we go. What do you mean by that? - Wax cups, Fold-a-Nooks, multi-mixers. A new idea to chase. - Those things put a roof over our heads. - At least over mine. - What do you mean over yours? Over "our" heads. - It's a good roof, Ray. It's a good house. It's a good life, if you weren't too busy to live it. We could go to the club, more than twice a year. Christ, just take a walk around the block together. Isn't it time to enjoy a little and stop chasing your tail? When's enough going to be enough for you? - Honestly? Probably never.

- 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.

- Hiya, Ray. - Boy, you boys are killing me. What's the hold up? I break ground in two weeks. - These things take time. You're proposing substantial alterations. - I'm adding a basement and a furnace, that's all. - We need our architect to thoroughly review it and make sure everything is safe and up to code. - Fine. Has he seen it yet, has he taken a look at it? - I'm not sure to be honest. - I've got bulldozers rolling up on the 23rd. - I'm not the one who scheduled that, Ray. - I need you to take a breath. - Take a breath? Do you realize what it's going to cost me if I have to push? - Hopefully, it won't come to that. - Every restaurant in the Midwest has a basement and a furnace. - This is standard stuff. - I understand. But it's our name on that building. God forbid the floor caves in and people get hurt or worse because of some design flaw we missed. Let's just slow down a minute and make sure it's done right. - So much for the Speedee System, huh?

June, did you schedule the stakeout with the engineer? All set. - What about the fire department? Did you get the approval for the driveway design? - Left a message with them yesterday. - Excavation permits? - I'm meeting with them today. - All right. 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.
