- You don't say? - What if I told you there was a way all of your owner-operators can save literally hundreds of dollars a year in electrical costs? And reduce the time that it takes to make a milkshake, by half. - I'll bite.

- Hello, welcome to McDonald's. - Hello there. Pretty soon there's a line around the block. - The word has spread. - And it's off to the races. And we are an overnight sensation 30 years in the making.

- Speed, that's the name of the game. The first stop for every McDonald's hamburger is the grill. Manned by two cooks whose sole job is to grill those all-beef beauties to perfection. Meanwhile, as the patty cooks, our dressers get the buns ready. Watch out. Burger crossing. - Burger crossing! - Burger crossing! - Every McDonald's burger has two pickles. A pinch of onions and a precise shot of ketchup and mustard. - Now where'd you get those? - We made them. - Made them! - Yeah, custom built. The whole kitchen is. Next is the finishing station where we put the whole thing together. And... Voila, a fresh delicious burger from grill to counter in 30 seconds.

- Have you been to a McDonald's? Because we've got three right here in the Chicago land area. You should come by and take a look. No, I would love to give you a tour to give you a better sense - of what I'm talking about. - Thank you.

- Oh! Well, look at this... Ray Kroc. - The Multi-Mixer fella. You spoke with my brother, Dick. - I did yeah, yeah. - What are you doing way out here? I'm in Los Angeles, business meetings. I thought I'm in the neighborhood, I should just swing by and say hello. - Well, I'm sure glad you did. - This whole thing. This is some operation. - Care for a little tour? - Of the...? - Yeah. - Yeah, I would. - Well, then finish up, I'll come back for you. - Alrighty. Thanks. May I take your order? Two soft drinks and two fries. Anything else for you, sir?

All right. - All right, gentlemen, if you would turn to page four of your contract. That's the first set of signatures to go over. - I just have to ask you one thing. Something I've never understood. - All right. - That day we met, we gave you the tour. - Uh-huh. What about it? - We showed you everything. The whole system, all our secrets. We were an open book. So why didn't you just... - Steal it? Just grab your ideas, run off, start my own business using all those ideas of yours. Would have failed. - How do you know? - Am I the only one who got the kitchen tour? You must've invited lots of people back there. - And? - How many of them succeed? - Lots of people started restaurants. - As big as McDonald's? Of course not. No one ever has and no one ever will. Because they all lack that one thing that makes McDonald's special. - Which is...?

- Thank you. - I eat lunch at your Waukegan location at least twice a week. Always a fantastic crowd. - Your point being... - Mr. Kroc, if you're not making money hand over fist, something is terribly wrong.

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.

See, it only stands to reason here, Bud, if you increase supply, demand will follow. Chicken and the egg. Do you follow my logic? Of course you do, you're a bright forward-thinking guy who knows a good idea when he hears one. So? What do you say?
