need a five spindle for,

milkshakes
8
00:00:52,887 --> 00:00:55,014
to justify my single spindle?"
Right?
9
00:00:55,139 --> 00:00:57,224
Wrong.
10
00:00:57,349 --> 00:00:59,119
Are you familiar with the notion
of the chicken or the egg,
11
00:00:59,143 --> 00:01:01,562
Mr. Griffith?
I mention it because,
12
00:01:01,687 --> 00:01:04,732
well, I think it applies here.
13
00:01:04,857 --> 00:01:06,817
Do you not need
the multi-mixer because,
14
00:01:06,942 --> 00:01:08,670
well heck, you're not
selling enough milkshakes?
15
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:10,254
Or are you not selling
enough milkshakes
16
00:01:10,279 --> 00:01:11,989
because you don't
have a multi-mixer?
17
00:01:12,114 --> 00:01:14,366
I firmly believe
it's the latter.
18
00:01:14,492 --> 00:01:16,892
You see your customer comes in
here and he knows if he orders
19
00:01:16,994 --> 00:01:20,081
a shake from your establishment,
he's in for a terrific wait.
20
00:01:20,206 --> 00:01:21,892
He's done it before
and he thinks to himself,
21
00:01:21,916 --> 00:01:24,186
"Well by-golly, I'm not going to
make that mistake again."
22
00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:28,798
But if you had the Prince Castle

Mark my words,

27
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:45,773

28
00:01:45,898 --> 00:01:49,318
than you can shake a stick at.
29
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:54,031
You increase the supply,
and the demand will follow.
30
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:55,574
Increase supply, demand follows.
31
00:01:55,699 --> 00:01:58,160
Chicken-egg.
Do you follow my logic?
32
00:01:58,285 --> 00:02:01,122

- Of course, Ray.
Why wouldn't I?

lot of paperwork to do here.

DR. CLARENCE FORD NELSON:
Persistence.
66

Nothing in the world can
take the place of persistence.
67
00:05:30,873 --> 00:05:33,500
Talent won't;
nothing is more common
68
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:36,962
than unsuccessful men
with talent.
69
00:05:37,087 --> 00:05:38,922
Genius won't;
70
00:05:39,048 --> 00:05:43,344
unrewarded genius
is practically a cliché.
71
00:05:43,469 --> 00:05:49,183
Education won't; the world
is full of educated fools.
72
00:05:49,308 --> 00:05:54,063
Persistence and determination
alone are all powerful.
73
00:05:54,188 --> 00:05:57,483
Show that you don't have
to be defeated by anything.
74
00:05:57,608 --> 00:06:01,070
That you can have peace of
mind, improved health
75
00:06:01,195 --> 00:06:03,739
and a never ceasing
flow of energy.
76
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:07,534

themselves obvious to you.

like a magical notion,

it is in you
to create your own future.
80
00:06:19,296 --> 00:06:21,590
The greatest discovery
of my generation
81
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:25,177
is that human beings
can alter their lives
82
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:28,347
by altering their attitudes
of mind.
83
00:06:28,472 --> 00:06:31,850
Or as Ralph Waldo Emerson
declared,

00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:36,105

thinks about all day long."

The first stop for every
McDonald's hamburger
197
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:25,907
is the grill.
Manned by two cooks
198

whose sole job is to grill those
all-beef beauties to perfection.

our dressers get the buns ready.

- Burger crossing!
- Burger crossing!
202
00:14:38,253 --> 00:14:41,756
- Every McDonald's burger
has two pickles.
203
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:47,596
A pinch of onions and a precise
shot of ketchup and mustard.
204
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:49,282
- Now where'd you get those?
- We made them.

this is the most...

Well, it's nice to meet you.
215
00:15:21,171 --> 00:15:23,131
- The fries.
- What about them?
216
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:24,633
- They're five percent
too crisp.
217
00:15:26,468 --> 00:15:28,219
- No, they're perfect.
218
00:15:28,345 --> 00:15:30,639
- I think we should drop to
two minutes, fifty seconds.
219

- Wasn't that what
we were at before?
220
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:35,143
- 400, not 375.
Higher temp, shorter cook.
221

- I think they're spot on.
- Excuse me, may I?

None of my beeswax,
but I'm with the big fella here.
223
00:15:39,522 --> 00:15:41,232
I loved them.
Golden brown on the outside.
224
00:15:41,358 --> 00:15:43,026
Fluffy white inside.
225
00:15:43,151 --> 00:15:45,737
And they're not too
oily, salty, crunchy.

- What for?
236
00:16:05,215 --> 00:16:07,360
- This is the most remarkable
restaurant I've seen in all my
237
00:16:07,384 --> 00:16:08,760
years in the food
service industry.
238
00:16:08,885 --> 00:16:10,553
And I've seen it all.
239
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:12,347
I wanna hear your story.
240
00:16:15,558 --> 00:16:17,435
MAC: Well, we were young
and hungry.
241
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,640
There wasn't a job to be
had in all of New Hampshire.
242
00:16:19,688 --> 00:16:21,982
So we decided to pack
our bags and head west.
243
00:16:22,107 --> 00:16:24,526
To Hollywood. I wanted to be in
the movie business.
244
00:16:24,651 --> 00:16:25,971
And Dick,
well, he wanted to be...
245
00:16:26,069 --> 00:16:27,654
- Employed.
246
00:16:27,779 --> 00:16:30,216
- So we landed jobs at Columbia Pictures driving trucks.
- Huh.
247
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,992
And after a few years,
we had enough saved
248
00:16:32,117 --> 00:16:33,743
to buy our own
little piece of showbiz.
249
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:36,079
A beautiful little
movie theater in Glendora.
250
00:16:36,204 --> 00:16:38,331
Which would have been swell.
Except for the timing.
251
00:16:38,456 --> 00:16:40,583
It was September of '29.
252
00:16:40,709 --> 00:16:42,895
One minute we're screening
the Gold Diggers of Broadway,
253
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:44,963
and next it's,
"Brother can you spare a dime?"
254
00:16:45,088 --> 00:16:46,381
- I couldn't.
255
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:47,858
- Nobody in town was
making any money,
256
00:16:47,882 --> 00:16:49,467
except for one fella,
Wylie Reid.
257
00:16:49,592 --> 00:16:51,428
Had a hot dog
and root beer stand.
258
00:16:51,553 --> 00:16:53,138
Hey people still
gotta eat, right?
259
00:16:53,263 --> 00:16:55,265
So we decide to open up
our own little stand,
260
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:57,851
hot dogs and orange juice,
in Arcadia.
261
00:16:57,976 --> 00:17:00,687
And it went okay. I mean we
weren't going gang-busters.
262
00:17:00,812 --> 00:17:02,373
There just weren't
enough people in Arcadia.
263
00:17:02,397 --> 00:17:04,607
Meanwhile, one town over
is San Bernardino
264
00:17:04,733 --> 00:17:07,527
and we want to relocate, but we
got no money for a new stand.
265
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:09,863
And that's when my brother here
266
00:17:09,988 --> 00:17:12,741
comes up with one of his
brilliant ideas. Tell him, Dick.
267
00:17:12,866 --> 00:17:14,409
- Well...
268
00:17:14,534 --> 00:17:16,137
- He says, why don't we
move the stand we've got.
269
00:17:16,161 --> 00:17:17,388
Put it on a truck.
Genius, right.
270
00:17:17,412 --> 00:17:19,372
Only there's one little problem.
271
00:17:19,497 --> 00:17:21,916
On the road between the two
towns, there's an overpass.
272
00:17:22,042 --> 00:17:23,460
And the building won't clear.
273
00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:25,295
Now I figure that's it,
we're done for.
274
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:29,340
But then Dick says, "Why don't
we saw the building in half?"
275
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:30,550
- Saw it in half...
276
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:32,302
(GUITAR MUSIC)
277
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:42,187
- Come on.
278
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:47,275
- So we've moved the restaurant
we're setting up shop.
279
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,777
But now we want to
do a few tweaks,
280
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:50,528
because now it's 1940.
281
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:51,893
And drive-ins are all the rage.
282
00:17:51,988 --> 00:17:53,549
I mean, they are
the hottest thing going,
283
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:55,213
and I say, "Dick we
gotta get in on this."
284
00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:56,659
And Dick says...
- "Okay".
285
00:17:56,785 --> 00:17:58,953
And two months later
we open for business...
286
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:00,580
McDonald's Famous Barbecue.
287
00:18:00,705 --> 00:18:02,290
27 item menu.
288
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:04,535
Uniformed waitresses bring
your food right to the car.
289
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:07,712
And it goes gang-busters.
We're going great guns.
290
00:18:07,837 --> 00:18:10,632
But then sales
start to level off.
291
00:18:10,757 --> 00:18:12,550
- The drive-in
model as we learned,
292
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:14,677
- has a few built-in problems.
- Tell me about it.
293
00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:16,679
For starters,
there's the customer issue.
294
00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:18,973
Drive-in's tend to attract,
shall we say,
295
00:18:19,099 --> 00:18:20,892
a less than desirable clientele.
296
00:18:21,017 --> 00:18:22,727
- Teenagers.
- Hot rodders and hooligans.
297
00:18:22,852 --> 00:18:25,271
Juvenile delinquents
in blue jeans.
298
00:18:25,396 --> 00:18:26,898
And then there's the service.
299
00:18:27,023 --> 00:18:28,751
It takes forever and a day
for your food to arrive.
300
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,711
- And when it finally does...
- It's usually wrong.
301
00:18:30,735 --> 00:18:33,655
- Yeah. The Carhops are too busy
dodging gropes to remember
302
00:18:33,780 --> 00:18:36,032
that you wanted strawberry
phosphate, not cherry.
303
00:18:36,157 --> 00:18:37,677
- Well, that's if
they remember at all.
304
00:18:37,784 --> 00:18:39,160
- And then,
there's the expenses.
305
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:40,285
The huge payroll.
306
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:41,871
Due to the large staff required.
307
00:18:41,996 --> 00:18:43,915
Dishes constantly
getting broken or stolen.
308
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,208
- Tremendous overhead.
309
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:46,835
- So one day,
Dick has a realization.
310
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,378
He sees that
the bulk of our sales
311
00:18:48,503 --> 00:18:49,921
are only in three items.
312
00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:52,215
Hamburgers.
French fries. Soft drinks.
313
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:54,008
- Eighty-seven percent.
-
(REGISTER DING)
314
00:18:54,134 --> 00:18:56,261
- So we say to ourselves
let's focus on what sells.
315
00:18:56,386 --> 00:18:58,388
And that's exactly what we do.
316
00:18:58,513 --> 00:19:00,348
Brisket gone. Tamales gone.
317
00:19:00,473 --> 00:19:03,351
But we don't stop there.
We look at everything.
318
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:05,454
- What else don't we need?
- Turns out quite a lot.
319
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:07,105
- Carhops.
320
00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:09,232
DICK: Walk up to a window,
get the food yourself.
321
00:19:09,357 --> 00:19:10,775
- Dishes...
- All paper packaging.
322
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:13,153
- Disposable.
- Cigarette machines, jukeboxes.
323
00:19:13,278 --> 00:19:14,821
- Drive out the riff-raff.
324
00:19:14,946 --> 00:19:16,823
- Creating a family
friendly environment here.
325
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:19,200
- But that's not enough.
- All right.
326
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:20,678
See, our whole lives
we'd piggybacked
327
00:19:20,702 --> 00:19:22,036
off other people's ideas.
328
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:24,330
We wanted something that
wasn't just different.
329
00:19:24,455 --> 00:19:28,459
It had to be better.
It needed to be ours.
330
00:19:28,585 --> 00:19:30,962
And that's what brings us
to the biggest cut of all.
331
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:32,797
- Which was?
332
00:19:32,922 --> 00:19:35,884
- The wait.
- Orders ready in 30 seconds.
333
00:19:36,009 --> 00:19:37,844
- Not 30 minutes.
Mecca.
334
00:19:37,969 --> 00:19:40,138
- We looked at each other
one night.
335
00:19:40,263 --> 00:19:41,806
- You thinking
what I'm thinking?
336
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:43,576
- We're going to have to
tear down, rebuild.
337
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,768
Reconfigure.
Rethink the whole dang thing.
338
00:19:45,894 --> 00:19:47,204
- We're talking about
shutting down
339
00:19:47,228 --> 00:19:49,022
a thriving business for months.
340
00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:51,191
- People are going to
think we're crazy.
341
00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:53,651
- We were crazy.
342
00:19:53,776 --> 00:19:55,254
- And you are going to
love how we did it.
343
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:56,529
Dick, you gotta tell him.
344
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:57,989
- The tennis court?
345
00:19:58,114 --> 00:19:59,508
- He brings me out to
this tennis court.
346
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:00,783
And he's drawn this line,
347
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:02,309
the exact dimensions
of our kitchen.
348
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:04,579
DICK: Sink on the right.
Extruder on the left.
349
00:20:04,704 --> 00:20:05,890
- Extruder.
- Bagging and hood.
350
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:08,583
-
MAC: Hood.
- Garnish-garnish.
351
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,752
- This is burger finish.
-
MAC: Got it.
352
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:13,504
- And this is burger slide.
353
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:15,006
We could just move those.
354
00:20:15,131 --> 00:20:17,550
-
MAC: Okay.
- Multi-mixer, soft drinks.
355
00:20:17,675 --> 00:20:20,136
- We bring out our whole staff
and we have them go through
356
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:23,097
the motions, making
pretend burgers and fries.
357
00:20:23,223 --> 00:20:25,183
DICK: All right, Steve,
anticipate that.
358
00:20:25,308 --> 00:20:27,185
You gotta keep the tray level.
359
00:20:28,686 --> 00:20:30,331
- And Dick is running around
with this stick
360
00:20:30,355 --> 00:20:31,995
marking where all the
equipment should be.
361
00:20:32,065 --> 00:20:34,692
- Tuck in. Tony are you going
to skip the pickles
362
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:36,110
when we're really doing it?
363
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:37,987
- They do it over and over,
hashing it out.
364
00:20:38,112 --> 00:20:40,365
Choreographing it like
some crazy burger ballet.
365
00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:41,866
What's going on over there?
366
00:20:41,991 --> 00:20:43,493
- Yes!

Everybody stop! Stop!
370
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:52,252
Garnish one. Garnish two.
371
00:20:52,377 --> 00:20:55,797
You've got pickles,
you've got onions.
372
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,257
It's a goddamn hamburger.
373
00:20:57,382 --> 00:21:00,385
- Come on, clear off.
- Let's clear off.
374
00:21:00,510 --> 00:21:02,929
It's time for the pink chalk.
375
00:21:03,054 --> 00:21:05,348
And then root beer, orange.

DICK: See all this open
space here now?
377
00:21:09,102 --> 00:21:11,771
We've rearranged
the fry situation.
378
00:21:11,896 --> 00:21:15,733
So now it's stage left.
The deep fryer stage right.

00:21:15,858 --> 00:21:18,194
DICK: Begin! That's great.
380
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,488
- Come on, guys.
- We're pretty tied up here.
381
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:23,700
- Watch out, it's the
timing of the Lazy-Susan.
382
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:26,160
Those are finished burgers.
You can't...

I-I still think
there's a third version.

- I want to move everything.

This is better.

00:21:46,306 --> 00:21:47,598
- Is that all right?
391
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:49,350
DICK: I think so.

assume our battle stations.

MAC: Okay. Okay.
394
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:57,859
Finally, after about
six hours of this,
395
00:21:57,984 --> 00:21:59,569
we get it just right.
396
00:21:59,694 --> 00:22:02,447
It's a symphony of efficiency.
Not a wasted motion.

You feel good
about those pickles!

The world's first-ever

- And a complete disaster.
- Why?

MAC: Opening day,
cars pull up onto the lot
411
00:22:47,742 --> 00:22:49,053
and they start honking
immediately
412
00:22:49,077 --> 00:22:50,411

And they are bewildered.
Now they're furious.

MAC: What do you mean
I gotta get out of my car?
417
00:22:58,169 --> 00:22:59,921
Most of them just cuss
us out and drive off.
418
00:23:00,046 --> 00:23:01,589
And the few that stay
are mad as heck
419
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:03,174
because they're eating off paper
420
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:04,443
and they gotta
discard their own trash.

00:23:04,467 --> 00:23:05,885
- Why?
- You're doing great.

00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:07,321
MAC: Yeah, we won't be
coming out to the car,

DICK: We may have underestimated
the learning curve.
426
00:23:12,392 --> 00:23:14,752
- So by five o'clock Dick is
calculating how much it's going
427
00:23:14,811 --> 00:23:16,229
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,
430
00:23:19,857 --> 00:23:21,943
I think to myself,
we gotta go big with this.
431
00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:23,569
We gotta put on a show.
432
00:23:23,694 --> 00:23:25,631
So I say, "Dick, I wanna
throw a grand re-opening.
433
00:23:25,655 --> 00:23:27,633
A gala premiere that would put
Louis B. Mayer to shame."

So we rent a bunch
of spotlights.

around in the Columbia days.

Now it is towel time.

00:23:51,597 --> 00:23:53,015
The next day, Dick and I meet up

to discuss going back to
the old format.
447
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:58,271
And as we're talking there's a
knock at the service window.
448
00:24:02,525 --> 00:24:03,776
- I tell him we're closed.
449
00:24:03,901 --> 00:24:05,778
- We're closed.
- But he looks so cute.

- Three?
- Yes, please.

so I fire up the grill
454
00:24:13,077 --> 00:24:15,913
and I make him a batch.

00:24:16,038 --> 00:24:17,331
There you are.

00:24:21,252 --> 00:24:23,921

684
00:40:05,779 --> 00:40:08,323
that's the best
place to reach me.
685
00:40:08,448 --> 00:40:09,908
- All right.
686
00:40:10,033 --> 00:40:11,952
Of course we'll need
an appraisal on your home
687
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:14,162
before we can issue funds.
688
00:40:22,421 --> 00:40:25,006
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
689
00:40:38,437 --> 00:40:39,938
- Be right.
690
00:40:41,398 --> 00:40:43,024
Just be right one time.
691
00:40:58,248 --> 00:40:59,916
One time.
692
00:41:01,835 --> 00:41:03,020
RAY: June, did you schedule the
stakeout with the engineer?
693
00:41:03,044 --> 00:41:04,212
JUNE: All set.
694
00:41:04,337 --> 00:41:05,630
- What about the fire
department?
695
00:41:05,755 --> 00:41:06,983
Did you get the approval
for the driveway design?
696
00:41:07,007 --> 00:41:08,508
- Left a message
with them yesterday.
697
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:10,010
- Excavation permits?
698
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:11,636
- I'm meeting with them today.
699
00:41:11,761 --> 00:41:13,430
- All right.
700
00:41:13,555 --> 00:41:15,974
Hey, what's going on with
San Bernardino, by the way?
701
00:41:16,099 --> 00:41:20,812
- I just spoke to Dick,
he says they're working on it.
702
00:41:20,937 --> 00:41:22,314
- They're working on it?
703
00:41:22,439 --> 00:41:23,648
- That's what he said.
704
00:41:25,567 --> 00:41:27,903
- Ray Kroc on the line.
705
00:41:30,906 --> 00:41:33,366
- Hiya, Ray.
- Boy, you boys are killing me.
706
00:41:33,492 --> 00:41:34,576
What's the hold up?
707
00:41:34,701 --> 00:41:36,119
I break ground in two weeks.
708
00:41:36,244 --> 00:41:38,246
- These things take time.
709
00:41:38,371 --> 00:41:39,998
You're proposing
substantial alterations.
710
00:41:40,123 --> 00:41:42,667
- I'm adding a basement
and a furnace, that's all.
711
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:45,462
- We need our architect to
thoroughly review it
712
00:41:45,587 --> 00:41:47,467
and make sure everything
is safe and up to code.
713
00:41:47,589 --> 00:41:50,675
- Fine. Has he seen it yet,
has he taken a look at it?
714
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,344
- I'm not sure to be honest.
715
00:41:52,469 --> 00:41:54,930
- I've got bulldozers
rolling up on the 23rd.
716
00:41:55,055 --> 00:41:57,224
- I'm not the one
who scheduled that, Ray.
717
00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:59,476
- I need you to take a breath.
- Take a breath?
718
00:41:59,601 --> 00:42:02,729
Do you realize what it's going
to cost me if I have to push?
719
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:04,689
- Hopefully,
it won't come to that.
720
00:42:04,814 --> 00:42:06,525
- Every restaurant
in the Midwest
721
00:42:06,650 --> 00:42:07,984
has a basement and a furnace.
722
00:42:08,109 --> 00:42:09,861
- This is standard stuff.
- I understand.
723
00:42:09,986 --> 00:42:12,030
But it's our name
on that building.
724
00:42:12,155 --> 00:42:15,408
God forbid the floor caves in
and people get hurt or worse
725
00:42:15,534 --> 00:42:17,369
because of some
design flaw we missed.
726
00:42:17,494 --> 00:42:20,497
Let's just slow down a minute
and make sure it's done right.
727
00:42:20,622 --> 00:42:22,582
- So much for the
Speedee System, huh?
728
00:42:28,421 --> 00:42:30,757
- Did he just hang up on you?
- Yes.
729
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:33,093
Unless we got
violently disconnected.
730
00:42:33,218 --> 00:42:34,844
- Okay.
731
00:42:36,638 --> 00:42:38,056
It'll be fine.
732
00:42:40,809 --> 00:42:43,270
- Where's the...
Where's the front of the apron?
733
00:42:43,395 --> 00:42:45,522
- Show me.
- All right.
734
00:42:45,647 --> 00:42:47,917
Just make sure the windows
are big enough so the customers
735
00:42:47,941 --> 00:42:49,794
can look into the restaurant.
All the way to the kitchen.
736
00:42:49,818 --> 00:42:51,361
Doesn't look right.
Let me see this.
737
00:42:51,486 --> 00:42:52,737
- Ray.
- What?
738
00:42:52,862 --> 00:42:54,406
- We got a letter
from San Bernardino.
739
00:42:54,531 --> 00:42:56,533
- Read it to me.
740
00:42:56,658 --> 00:42:59,411
- Dear Ray. Thank you for your
letter sharing your idea
741
00:42:59,536 --> 00:43:03,039
to strike a deal with Coca-Cola
to sponsor menu boards
742
00:43:03,164 --> 00:43:05,208
at the new Des Plaines location.
743
00:43:05,333 --> 00:43:07,794
An intriguing notion, indeed.
744
00:43:07,919 --> 00:43:10,589
As you rightly point out, such
an arrangement would provide
745
00:43:10,714 --> 00:43:12,340
a steady source of
revenue to the store
746
00:43:12,465 --> 00:43:14,759
at no additional labor cost.
747
00:43:14,884 --> 00:43:18,471
- However...
- However? However, what?
748
00:43:18,597 --> 00:43:19,931
- However, this is a concept
749
00:43:20,056 --> 00:43:22,017
that goes beyond
our core beliefs.
750
00:43:22,142 --> 00:43:25,895
McDonald's was founded
with the idea of families
751
00:43:26,021 --> 00:43:27,647
and not strict commerce.
752
00:43:27,772 --> 00:43:29,458
- Sons of bitches, they don't
know what the hell...
753
00:43:29,482 --> 00:43:31,359
- And so on and so on...
754
00:43:33,737 --> 00:43:35,363
Here you go, gentlemen.
Back to work.
755
00:43:35,488 --> 00:43:37,032
- Let me explain.
756
00:43:37,157 --> 00:43:39,868
It'll be real small, along
the bottom. Very discreet.
757
00:43:39,993 --> 00:43:41,637
- We're just not
comfortable with the notion
758
00:43:41,661 --> 00:43:44,122
of turning our menu
into an advertisement.
759
00:43:44,247 --> 00:43:46,916
- See it's not an ad,
it's sponsorship.
760
00:43:47,042 --> 00:43:49,085
- It's distasteful.
- It's free money!
761
00:43:49,210 --> 00:43:51,272
- There are plenty of things we
could do to make a quick buck,
762
00:43:51,296 --> 00:43:53,656
- that doesn't mean we should.
- Loads of restaurants do it!
763
00:43:53,757 --> 00:43:55,300
- Well, we don't.
- Why not?
764
00:43:55,425 --> 00:43:57,385
- Cause I have no interest
in indulging
765
00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:58,910
in that sort of
crass commercialism.
766
00:43:59,012 --> 00:44:00,555
It's not McDonald's.
767
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,408
- I didn't realize I was
partnering with a beatnik.
768
00:44:02,432 --> 00:44:04,976
- I'll have you know I'm a
card-carrying Republican.
769
00:44:05,101 --> 00:44:07,979
- Yeah, well you coulda
fooled me.
770
00:44:08,104 --> 00:44:09,814
- He hung up again.
771
00:44:09,939 --> 00:44:13,193
- He's just... He's just a
little excitable, that's all.
772
00:44:16,571 --> 00:44:19,115
- A hot head like that, you
don't know what he's capable of.
773
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:23,328
- It's all bluster, Dick.
His bark is worse than his bite.
774
00:44:23,453 --> 00:44:24,847
- That's what
Neville Chamberlain said.
775
00:44:24,871 --> 00:44:26,331
- He'll relax.
776
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:28,583
Give him some time.
777
00:44:34,673 --> 00:44:36,257
- What are you doing? Come on.
778
00:44:36,383 --> 00:44:38,503
There's time to lean,
there's time to clean. Let's go.
779
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:42,722
Put the hat on straight.
780
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:46,810
400 degrees, right?
781
00:44:46,935 --> 00:44:48,228
That'a boy, way to work.
782
00:44:48,353 --> 00:44:50,021
Nice.
783
00:44:50,146 --> 00:44:51,856
Hey, hey, hey.
There's one pickle on there.
784
00:44:51,981 --> 00:44:54,043
Two pickles on all the buns.
Two pickles on all of them.
785
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:57,278
Don't... don't... Look, watch.
Flip 'em like that.
786
00:44:57,404 --> 00:44:58,839
You already turned them over
and press them one time.
787
00:44:58,863 --> 00:45:00,782
And that one's too pink.
All right.
788
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,743
And you...
789
00:45:06,162 --> 00:45:08,331
Get... these...
790
00:45:09,958 --> 00:45:11,334
That's pretty damn good.
791
00:45:11,459 --> 00:45:14,504
- What's your name?
- Fred Turner, sir.
792
00:45:14,629 --> 00:45:17,090
- Nice work. Fred Turner.
793
00:45:17,215 --> 00:45:18,925
Fred Turner.

we go to supper at the club?

- Evening, stranger.
- Good to see you.

- Linda Ballen was just
there, she adored it.

I'm thinking about it.

- Restaurant.

- New kind of restaurant.
- New how?

- I'm just joking with you, Ray.

You should hear him out.

- Well, do tell us more.

- I will.

This is a thing of beauty.

already up and running.

a few dollars.

worry about a thing.

We're in charge of
everything after.

some people for you.
1202
01:06:32,489 --> 01:06:35,575
I met this young couple.
Very committed.
1203
01:06:35,701 --> 01:06:37,202
They're from Glenview.
1204
01:06:37,327 --> 01:06:39,327
High School sweethearts,
married for five years and
1205
01:06:39,413 --> 01:06:41,557
they're looking for a business
they can operate together.
1206
01:06:41,581 --> 01:06:43,000
And they seem very excited.
1207
01:06:43,125 --> 01:06:45,752
- Yeah, forget that.
Everything's changed.

- No... Changed, how?

Think bigger.

- Bigger?
- I'm not chasing them anymore.

The trip I just took.

- The trip. How was it?
- Triumphant.
1215

They rolled out the red carpet.

- 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 can't.

- Can't or won't?
1256

- Upping your cut it would be
unfair to the franchisees.

are doing just fine!

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.

to have your dream.

01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,031
Why don't we add sawdust to the
hamburgers while we're at it?
1372
01:16:41,055 --> 01:16:42,307
Frozen French fries!
1373
01:16:42,432 --> 01:16:43,808
- You don't want to
save a bundle?
1374
01:16:43,933 --> 01:16:45,310
- Not like that.
1375
01:16:45,435 --> 01:16:47,079
- We're talking about
the same great taste.
1376
01:16:47,103 --> 01:16:49,022
Same great taste while
boosting the bottom line.
1377
01:16:49,147 --> 01:16:51,190
- It's called a milkshake, Ray!
1378
01:16:51,316 --> 01:16:54,152
Real milk, now and forever!
1379
01:16:54,277 --> 01:16:56,195
- I understand.
1380
01:17:17,759 --> 01:17:20,011
RAY: I'm just asking you
to extend my line.
1381
01:17:20,136 --> 01:17:23,097
- Until you build more equity in
your home or pay down the loan,
1382
01:17:23,222 --> 01:17:24,222
there's nothing I can do.
1383
01:17:24,307 --> 01:17:25,516
- My business is booming.
1384
01:17:25,642 --> 01:17:27,143
- Unfortunately,
that's immaterial.
1385
01:17:27,268 --> 01:17:29,354
- Well, I've got 13
locations in nine states.
1386
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,981
- It's a home-equity loan.
- Then give me a business loan.
1387
01:17:32,106 --> 01:17:33,584
- These thirteen locations,
you own them?
1388
01:17:33,608 --> 01:17:35,448
- Me personally?
- It's your business, correct?
1389
01:17:35,526 --> 01:17:38,404
- You own it?
- I'm the head of franchising.
1390
01:17:38,529 --> 01:17:40,698
I'm the one behind this growth.
1391
01:17:40,823 --> 01:17:43,076
Well, that's all well and good,
but you need assets.
1392
01:17:44,827 --> 01:17:46,537
- Have you been to a McDonald's?
1393
01:17:46,663 --> 01:17:48,724
Because we've got three right
here in the Chicago land area.
1394
01:17:48,748 --> 01:17:50,500
You should come by
and take a look.
1395
01:17:50,625 --> 01:17:52,394
No, I would love to give you a
tour to give you a better sense
1396
01:17:52,418 --> 01:17:54,018
- of what I'm talking about.
- Thank you.
1397
01:17:56,589 --> 01:17:58,508
- Mr. Kroc?
1398
01:17:58,633 --> 01:17:59,967
- Can I help you?
1399
01:18:00,093 --> 01:18:03,763
- No, but perhaps
I can help you.
1400
01:18:03,888 --> 01:18:06,349
Harry Sonneborn,
nice to meet you.
1401
01:18:06,474 --> 01:18:09,435
- No, thanks, we're very happy
with our current supplier.
1402
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,938
- I'm not here to
sell you ice cream.
1403
01:18:12,063 --> 01:18:13,481
- What the hell do you want?
1404
01:18:13,606 --> 01:18:15,167
- I caught a bit of your
conversation back there,
1405
01:18:15,191 --> 01:18:16,752
sounds like you're
having financial troubles.
1406
01:18:16,776 --> 01:18:18,295
- Why don't you
mind your own business?
1407
01:18:18,319 --> 01:18:20,039
- I'm a great admirer
of your establishment.
1408
01:18:21,447 --> 01:18:23,157
- Thank you.
1409
01:18:23,282 --> 01:18:24,635
- I eat lunch at your Waukegan
location at least twice a week.
1410
01:18:24,659 --> 01:18:25,993
Always a fantastic crowd.
1411
01:18:26,119 --> 01:18:27,745
- Your point being...
1412
01:18:27,870 --> 01:18:31,165
- Mr. Kroc, if you're not
making money hand over fist,
1413
01:18:31,290 --> 01:18:32,959
something is terribly wrong.
1414
01:18:37,088 --> 01:18:39,549
- June, grab the ledger,
would you?
1415
01:18:39,674 --> 01:18:41,592
Come on in the office, Harry.
1416
01:18:53,187 --> 01:18:54,939
- So to summarize...
1417
01:18:55,064 --> 01:18:57,233
you have a
minuscule revenue stream.
1418
01:18:57,358 --> 01:18:59,110
No cash reserves.
1419
01:18:59,235 --> 01:19:01,463
And an albatross of a contract
that requires you to go through
1420
01:19:01,487 --> 01:19:03,072
a slow approval process
to enact changes
1421
01:19:03,197 --> 01:19:04,949
if they're approved at all.
1422
01:19:05,074 --> 01:19:07,493
Which they never are.
1423
01:19:07,618 --> 01:19:09,954
- Am I missing anything?
- That about sums it up.
1424
01:19:11,706 --> 01:19:12,707
- Tell me about the land.
1425
01:19:12,832 --> 01:19:14,584
- The... land?
1426
01:19:14,709 --> 01:19:17,587
- The land, the buildings, how
that whole aspect of it works.
1427
01:19:17,712 --> 01:19:19,547
- Oh, pretty simple really.
1428
01:19:19,672 --> 01:19:21,924
Franchisee finds a
piece of land he likes.
1429
01:19:22,049 --> 01:19:24,010
Gets a lease, usually 20 years.
1430
01:19:24,135 --> 01:19:26,596
Takes out a construction loan,
1431
01:19:26,721 --> 01:19:29,390
throws up a building
and off he goes.
1432
01:19:30,767 --> 01:19:32,894
- So the operator
selects the site.
1433
01:19:33,019 --> 01:19:34,812
- Yeah.
- He picks the property?
1434
01:19:34,937 --> 01:19:36,230
- Right.
1435
01:19:36,355 --> 01:19:38,065
- You provide the
training, the system,
1436
01:19:38,191 --> 01:19:42,403
the operational know-how, and
he's responsible for the rest?
1437
01:19:42,528 --> 01:19:44,197
- Is there a problem?
- A big one.
1438
01:19:44,322 --> 01:19:46,908
You don't seem to realize
what business you're in.
1439
01:19:48,910 --> 01:19:51,454
You're not in the
burger business.
1440
01:19:51,579 --> 01:19:55,208
You're in the real
estate business.
1441
01:19:55,333 --> 01:19:59,253
You don't build an empire
off a 1.4 percent cut
1442
01:19:59,378 --> 01:20:02,215
of a 15-cent hamburger.
1443
01:20:02,340 --> 01:20:04,801
You build it by owning the land
1444
01:20:04,926 --> 01:20:08,137
upon which that burger
is cooked.
1445
01:20:08,262 --> 01:20:11,974
What you ought to be doing is
buying up plots of land then
1446
01:20:12,099 --> 01:20:15,019
turning around and leasing
said plots to franchisees
1447
01:20:15,144 --> 01:20:17,146
who as a condition
of their deal,
1448
01:20:17,271 --> 01:20:21,484
should be permitted to
lease from you and you alone.
1449
01:20:21,609 --> 01:20:23,194
This will provide you
with two things.
1450
01:20:23,319 --> 01:20:25,947
One, a steady,
up-front revenue stream.
1451
01:20:26,072 --> 01:20:28,866
Money flows in before the
first stake is in the ground.
1452
01:20:28,991 --> 01:20:31,828
Two, greater capital
for expansion.
1453
01:20:31,953 --> 01:20:34,664
Which in turn fuels
further land acquisition,
1454
01:20:34,789 --> 01:20:38,709
which in turn fuels further
expansion and so on and so on.
1455
01:20:43,297 --> 01:20:44,340
Land.
1456
01:20:47,218 --> 01:20:51,806
That's where the money is.
And more than that, control.
1457
01:20:51,931 --> 01:20:54,642
Control over the franchisee.
1458
01:20:54,767 --> 01:20:57,144
Fail to uphold
quality standards,
1459
01:20:57,270 --> 01:20:59,772
you cancel their lease.
1460
01:20:59,897 --> 01:21:03,150
Control over Dick and Mac.
1461
01:21:03,276 --> 01:21:06,696
End result, you'll have the
banks and the franchisees
1462
01:21:06,821 --> 01:21:09,198
in the palm of your hand.
1463
01:21:09,323 --> 01:21:12,201
- If I were to do this,
the brothers,
1464
01:21:12,326 --> 01:21:17,832
they'd effectively would be...
1465
01:21:17,957 --> 01:21:19,876
- Yes.
1466
01:21:23,546 --> 01:21:27,717
So, whaddaya say, Ray?
1467
01:21:43,608 --> 01:21:45,568
HARRY: We'll need backing.
I've arranged meetings
1468
01:21:45,693 --> 01:21:47,945
with investors
and financial institutions.
1469
01:21:48,070 --> 01:21:49,447
We're in the center of the town
1470
01:21:49,572 --> 01:21:51,132
which is the only
over-saturated aspect.
1471
01:21:51,157 --> 01:21:53,951
We should do well in
this area because...
1472
01:21:54,076 --> 01:21:55,912
Has anyone here ever
eaten at a McDonald's?
1473
01:21:56,037 --> 01:21:58,289
...Operation growth is
going to enable us to expand.
1474
01:21:58,414 --> 01:22:01,000
JUNE: Franchise Realty
Corporation how may I...?
1475
01:22:01,125 --> 01:22:02,978
HARRY: They seem exaggerated
but they're fully supported
1476
01:22:03,002 --> 01:22:04,378
by the numericals.
1477
01:22:04,503 --> 01:22:06,339
In fact, we erred on
the side of caution.
1478
01:22:06,464 --> 01:22:08,716
- He's being conservative.
Mine, based on gut,
1479
01:22:08,841 --> 01:22:10,593
and my gut tells me
those numbers are low.
1480
01:22:10,718 --> 01:22:12,803
McDonald's is
growing quick as a hiccup.
1481
01:22:12,929 --> 01:22:14,263
- I'm Harry Sonneborn this is...
1482
01:22:14,388 --> 01:22:16,057
RECORDING: Hurry on over
to McDonald's,
1483
01:22:16,182 --> 01:22:19,268
now serving family communities
from coast to coast.
1484
01:22:19,393 --> 01:22:21,103
You're probably
only minutes away
1485
01:22:21,228 --> 01:22:23,856
from America's
favorite restaurant.
1486
01:22:23,981 --> 01:22:27,693
McDonald's fast service is
the perfect answer for parties.
1487
01:22:27,818 --> 01:22:29,362
Birthday lunches!
1488
01:22:29,487 --> 01:22:31,572
And family meals anytime.
1489
01:22:31,697 --> 01:22:34,533
With no fuss or dishes to do.
1490
01:22:34,659 --> 01:22:37,453
It's America's
greatest food value.
1491
01:22:37,578 --> 01:22:39,997
No wonder you see so many
of your neighbors there.
1492
01:22:40,122 --> 01:22:43,417
If you want home quality
cooking without the home work,
1493
01:22:43,542 --> 01:22:44,919
try McDonald's.
1494
01:22:45,044 --> 01:22:47,588
Look for the Golden Arches
at McDonald's.
1495
01:22:47,713 --> 01:22:49,882
The closest thing to home.
1496
01:23:00,226 --> 01:23:03,145
- Have you heard of the
Franchise Realty Corporation?
1497
01:23:03,270 --> 01:23:04,981
- What is it?
1498
01:23:05,106 --> 01:23:09,485
- I have no clue, apparently
Ray Kroc is President and CEO.
1499
01:23:10,987 --> 01:23:12,947
(PHONE RINGING)
1500
01:23:13,072 --> 01:23:14,615
- Hiya, Dick, how ya doing?
1501
01:23:14,740 --> 01:23:16,551
- Well, if you really want
to know I'm a tad miffed.
1502
01:23:16,575 --> 01:23:17,970
- Why? What seems
to be the problem?
1503
01:23:17,994 --> 01:23:19,829
- Franchise Realty Corporation.
1504
01:23:19,954 --> 01:23:21,539
- What about it?
1505
01:23:21,664 --> 01:23:24,041
- For starters, would you
mind telling me what it is?
1506
01:23:24,166 --> 01:23:25,835
- Oh, nothing really.
1507
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,146
Just a little something I
created to help provide leasing
1508
01:23:28,170 --> 01:23:31,465
services, you know, lend
support to our new franchisees.
1509
01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:33,926
- You know full well you can't
do something like that
1510
01:23:34,051 --> 01:23:35,720
without first clearing it.
1511
01:23:38,723 --> 01:23:40,516
- Now, why would I
need to do that?
1512
01:23:40,641 --> 01:23:42,393
- Because as your
deal plainly states,
1513
01:23:42,518 --> 01:23:45,187
any and all changes must
be agreed to in writing.
1514
01:23:45,312 --> 01:23:46,731
- Except it's not a change.
1515
01:23:46,856 --> 01:23:48,691
- Excuse me?
1516
01:23:48,816 --> 01:23:51,318
- It's not a change.
It's a company.
1517
01:23:53,612 --> 01:23:55,197
It's its own separate company.
1518
01:23:55,322 --> 01:23:57,283
Which puts it
outside your purview.
1519
01:23:57,408 --> 01:23:58,868
- Anything relating
to McDonald's
1520
01:23:58,993 --> 01:24:00,870
is within our purview.
1521
01:24:02,830 --> 01:24:05,416
- Let me explain
something to you, Dick.
1522
01:24:05,541 --> 01:24:10,421
You boys have full say over what
goes on inside the restaurants.
1523
01:24:10,546 --> 01:24:14,383
But outside? Above? Below?
1524
01:24:14,508 --> 01:24:17,219
Your authority
stops at the door.
1525
01:24:17,344 --> 01:24:19,055
And at the floor.
1526
01:24:20,431 --> 01:24:22,058
All right?
1527
01:24:30,441 --> 01:24:32,234
- What's he saying?
1528
01:24:32,359 --> 01:24:34,528
- He's buying the land...
1529
01:24:34,653 --> 01:24:36,572
- Our land?
1530
01:24:37,615 --> 01:24:39,158
- ...on the map.
1531
01:24:39,283 --> 01:24:41,911
Make sure to get this,
you wanna get all pins in.
1532
01:24:44,914 --> 01:24:46,999
Make sure you see the pins.
1533
01:24:47,124 --> 01:24:48,417
- Oh that's great. Beautiful.
1534
01:24:48,542 --> 01:24:49,603
- How about one at the desk?
1535
01:24:49,627 --> 01:24:51,337
- Yeah. Do one at the desk.
1536
01:24:54,256 --> 01:24:55,466
...on your throne.
1537
01:24:59,970 --> 01:25:02,890
- Make sure you get
that in focus.
1538
01:25:03,015 --> 01:25:04,725
- Big smile. Good.
Good, good, good.
1539
01:25:09,522 --> 01:25:11,190
- Delivery!
1540
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:15,236
- Where do you want these?
1541
01:25:15,361 --> 01:25:16,654
- Ray!
1542
01:25:18,197 --> 01:25:20,282
- I thought it over.
1543
01:25:20,407 --> 01:25:21,867
Approved.
1544
01:25:24,328 --> 01:25:25,579
- Really?
1545
01:25:25,704 --> 01:25:27,957
- Thank you!
- No, thank you.
1546
01:25:28,082 --> 01:25:31,252
It's a wiz-bang idea and you're
the one who thought of it.
1547
01:25:31,377 --> 01:25:33,796
- Well we're deeply honored to
serve as your test market.
1548
01:25:33,921 --> 01:25:36,507
- The hell with that. I'm going
to roll this out nationally.
1549
01:25:36,632 --> 01:25:40,136
Hey, have you seen
the latest copy of RBM?
1550
01:25:40,261 --> 01:25:41,679
Hot off the press.
1551
01:25:44,473 --> 01:25:46,475
- Oh, Ray, good for you.
1552
01:25:49,478 --> 01:25:53,524
(SLOW STRING MUSIC)
1553
01:25:56,110 --> 01:25:57,987
JOAN: It's about ten miles
south of downtown.
1554
01:25:58,112 --> 01:26:00,006
They're building a
brand-new sports stadium there.
1555
01:26:00,030 --> 01:26:01,740
- Yeah, Bloomington,
I read about it.
1556
01:26:01,866 --> 01:26:03,552
- We're getting a professional
baseball and football team.
1557
01:26:03,576 --> 01:26:05,161
They'll both be playing there.
1558
01:26:05,286 --> 01:26:07,538
- I think I know where
you're headed with this.
1559
01:26:07,663 --> 01:26:10,541
- A 40,000 seat stadium,
just a stone's throw away.
1560
01:26:10,666 --> 01:26:12,418
Imagine the foot traffic.
1561
01:26:12,543 --> 01:26:14,771
- Hungry families looking for
a bite to eat after the game.
1562
01:26:14,795 --> 01:26:16,255
- Or before, whenever.
1563
01:26:16,380 --> 01:26:18,090
- Exactly.
1564
01:26:18,215 --> 01:26:19,466
Yeah.
1565
01:26:21,343 --> 01:26:23,554
You think big, don't you Joan?
1566
01:26:26,265 --> 01:26:28,434
- Is there any other way to?
1567
01:26:31,145 --> 01:26:33,063
- Well, you'd be surprised.
1568
01:26:35,816 --> 01:26:38,068
A lot of people are
afraid of taking a chance to,
1569
01:26:38,194 --> 01:26:41,155
you know, reach for greatness.
1570
01:26:43,032 --> 01:26:44,950
- That's so sad.
1571
01:26:45,075 --> 01:26:46,785
- Yeah, I agree.
1572
01:26:46,911 --> 01:26:51,165
Ambition,
that's the stuff of life.
1573
01:26:51,290 --> 01:26:53,083
- What is that saying?
1574
01:26:55,419 --> 01:26:57,004
Fortune favors the bold.
1575
01:26:57,129 --> 01:26:58,672
- Absolutely.
1576
01:27:04,094 --> 01:27:05,721
- Just look at you.
1577
01:27:10,142 --> 01:27:12,561
- You calling me bold, Joan?
1578
01:27:12,686 --> 01:27:14,563
- You don't build
a restaurant empire

little mouse.

HARRY:
That's a fast growing area.
1581
01:27:44,426 --> 01:27:47,096
And cheaper, you're talking
fifteen percent less per acre.
1582
01:27:47,221 --> 01:27:49,115
- Yeah, I still think
Houston's a better location.
1583
01:27:49,139 --> 01:27:50,140
- Ray.
- Yeah?
1584
01:27:50,266 --> 01:27:52,226
- Dick's on line one.
- Now...
1585
01:28:01,318 --> 01:28:02,653
- Hiya, Dick.
1586
01:28:02,778 --> 01:28:04,822
- I just received a
very disconcerting call.
1587
01:28:04,947 --> 01:28:06,615
- Oh?
1588
01:28:06,740 --> 01:28:10,160
- From Buddy Jepsen.
Our operator in Sacramento.
1589
01:28:10,286 --> 01:28:11,870
- I'm very aware of
who Buddy Jepsen is.
1590
01:28:11,996 --> 01:28:14,331
- He told me he received
a shipment this morning.
1591
01:28:14,456 --> 01:28:15,541
- Oh, it arrived.
1592
01:28:15,666 --> 01:28:17,459
- You are way out of line, Ray.
1593
01:28:17,584 --> 01:28:18,836
- Gee, I didn't expect that
1594
01:28:18,961 --> 01:28:21,005
to get there until Friday
at the earliest.
1595
01:28:21,130 --> 01:28:22,148
- Do you mind telling me
what you're doing
1596
01:28:22,172 --> 01:28:23,507
shipping four cases
1597
01:28:23,632 --> 01:28:27,845
of Inst-A-Mix to
one of our operators?
1598
01:28:27,970 --> 01:28:31,515
- Look, if you don't want to
make a profit, that's fine.
1599
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:32,850
But don't stop the rest of us.
1600
01:28:32,975 --> 01:28:34,852
- Us?
- Us.
1601
01:28:34,977 --> 01:28:36,729
As in everyone but you.
1602
01:28:36,854 --> 01:28:38,230
- Who did you send them to?
1603
01:28:38,355 --> 01:28:40,607
- Everyone but you.
1604
01:28:40,733 --> 01:28:43,360
- You have no right,
you are to stop this instant.
1605
01:28:43,485 --> 01:28:45,738
Is that clear?
1606
01:28:45,863 --> 01:28:47,031
- Nah.
1607
01:28:47,156 --> 01:28:48,866
- What the hell does that mean!
Nah!
1608
01:28:48,991 --> 01:28:52,077
- You will abide by the
terms of your deal!
1609
01:28:54,163 --> 01:28:56,915
- I am through taking
marching orders from you.
1610
01:28:57,041 --> 01:28:59,460
You and your
endless parade of nos.
1611
01:28:59,585 --> 01:29:01,837
Constantly cowering
in the face of progress.
1612
01:29:01,962 --> 01:29:05,758
- If phony powdered milkshakes
is your idea of progress,
1613
01:29:05,883 --> 01:29:07,634
you have a profound
misunderstanding of what
1614
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,678
McDonald's is about!
1615
01:29:09,803 --> 01:29:11,614
- I have a far greater
understanding of McDonald's
1616
01:29:11,638 --> 01:29:12,890
than you two yokels.
1617
01:29:13,015 --> 01:29:16,894
- What? You will do as we say.
1618
01:29:17,019 --> 01:29:18,771
- Nope.
1619
01:29:18,896 --> 01:29:20,731
- You have a contract!
1620
01:29:27,488 --> 01:29:31,283
- You know,
contracts are like hearts.
1621
01:29:31,408 --> 01:29:32,785
They're made to be broken.

(DIAL TONE)
1623
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:49,385
- Could you please
pass the salt?
1624
01:29:52,262 --> 01:29:53,597
Thank you.
1625
01:30:06,985 --> 01:30:08,612
- I want a divorce.
1626
01:30:34,888 --> 01:30:37,307
LAWYER: When quietly trying
to settle a divorce,
1627
01:30:37,433 --> 01:30:39,810
the first thing to ask is,
what will she want?
1628
01:30:39,935 --> 01:30:42,187
And is her request
reasonable and equitable,
1629
01:30:42,312 --> 01:30:44,148
in terms of marital property.
1630
01:30:44,273 --> 01:30:45,691
There's a house, a car,
1631
01:30:45,816 --> 01:30:47,776
savings and checking accounts,
insurance.
1632
01:30:47,901 --> 01:30:50,362
- Just give it to her.
House, car, insurance.
1633
01:30:53,115 --> 01:30:54,783
- What about the business?
1634
01:30:57,828 --> 01:30:58,954
- Nope.
1635
01:31:00,539 --> 01:31:03,417
- Ray, you have to
understand, she's...
1636
01:31:06,211 --> 01:31:07,963
- Let me explain
something to you.
1637
01:31:09,923 --> 01:31:11,675
That's never going to happen.
1638
01:31:14,386 --> 01:31:16,680
I would sooner die,
1639
01:31:16,805 --> 01:31:19,933
than give her one share
of stock in McDonald's.
1640
01:31:25,522 --> 01:31:27,065
- It's not so simple.
1641
01:31:27,191 --> 01:31:28,626
The brothers are
your business partners.
1642
01:31:28,650 --> 01:31:30,194
You signed this contract.
1643
01:31:30,319 --> 01:31:32,196
- Make it go away.
1644
01:31:32,321 --> 01:31:34,698
And I don't care what it takes.
1645
01:31:36,074 --> 01:31:38,494
- It's going to cost you.
1646

(SLOW STRING MUSIC)
1647
01:32:13,195 --> 01:32:14,488
DICK:
I'm looking at a letterhead
1648
01:32:14,613 --> 01:32:16,240
with the name McDonald's on it.
1649
01:32:16,365 --> 01:32:18,075
You care to explain?
1650
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:19,552
- It was confusing,
people didn't even know
1651
01:32:19,576 --> 01:32:21,203
it had anything to do
with McDonald's.
1652
01:32:21,328 --> 01:32:23,872
- What's confusing is you
calling yourself
1653
01:32:23,997 --> 01:32:25,624
the McDonald's Corporation.
1654
01:32:25,749 --> 01:32:27,417
People will think it's the
whole company,
1655
01:32:27,543 --> 01:32:28,961
not just the real estate arm
1656
01:32:29,086 --> 01:32:31,964
which we strongly
suspect is what you hope.
1657
01:32:32,089 --> 01:32:34,716
- You put Dick's Arches
on your letterhead?
1658
01:32:34,841 --> 01:32:37,302
This is not your company, Ray!
1659
01:32:37,427 --> 01:32:39,179
- Mac...
- Do you understand that!
1660
01:32:39,304 --> 01:32:41,139
- Mac, don't get upset.
1661
01:32:41,265 --> 01:32:44,101
- We came up with
the Speedee System, not you!
1662
01:32:44,226 --> 01:32:45,769
Us! What have you
ever come up with!
1663
01:32:45,894 --> 01:32:47,604
Can you name one thing?
You can't!
1664
01:32:47,729 --> 01:32:49,523
And you never have
and you never will.
1665
01:32:49,648 --> 01:32:51,876
Because you are a leech, Ray.
You are a professional leech!
1666
01:32:51,900 --> 01:32:54,695
- You know what I came up
with, Mac? A concept.
1667
01:32:54,820 --> 01:32:57,072
I came up with the
concept of winning.
1668
01:32:57,197 --> 01:32:58,490
- Let me talk to him.
1669
01:32:58,615 --> 01:32:59,992
- While you two boys
were content
1670
01:33:00,117 --> 01:33:01,553
to sit back and be
a couple of also-rans.
1671
01:33:01,577 --> 01:33:03,245
I'm going to take the future.
I wanna win.
1672
01:33:03,370 --> 01:33:06,582
And you don't get there by being
some aw-shucks, nice-guy sap.
1673
01:33:06,707 --> 01:33:08,268
There's no place in
business for people like that.
1674
01:33:08,292 --> 01:33:10,127
Business is war.
1675
01:33:10,252 --> 01:33:12,796
It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat.
1676
01:33:12,921 --> 01:33:14,506
If my competitor were drowning,
1677
01:33:14,631 --> 01:33:17,926
I'd walk over and I'd put a hose
right in his mouth.
1678
01:33:21,722 --> 01:33:23,223
Can you say the same?
1679
01:33:33,609 --> 01:33:37,821
- I can't, nor would I want to.
1680
01:33:37,946 --> 01:33:40,782
- Hence your single location.
1681
01:33:40,907 --> 01:33:42,427
- We want you out of
this company, Ray!
1682
01:33:42,492 --> 01:33:44,161
- Mac, how do you
propose you do that.
1683
01:33:44,286 --> 01:33:46,079
- We will sue you,
whatever it takes!
1684
01:33:46,204 --> 01:33:48,957
- And you'd probably win.
But you can't afford to sue me.
1685
01:33:49,082 --> 01:33:51,043
I'd bury you in
court costs alone.
1686
01:33:51,168 --> 01:33:53,003
Mac, I'm the President and CEO

You run a burger stand
in the desert.
1689
01:33:59,843 --> 01:34:02,429
I'm national.
1690
01:34:02,554 --> 01:34:04,139
You're fucking local.

01:34:14,858 --> 01:34:16,985
- Mac!

01:34:21,490 --> 01:34:22,930
- Are you following
your eating plan?
1694
01:34:22,991 --> 01:34:24,368
- Yes.
1695
01:34:24,493 --> 01:34:26,133
- And you're checking
your glucose levels?
1696
01:34:26,203 --> 01:34:28,056
Are you taking your medication
on a consistent basis?
1697
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:29,414
- Yes.
1698
01:34:29,539 --> 01:34:31,041
- Regular walks,
20 minutes a day.
1699
01:34:31,166 --> 01:34:32,292
- I'm on my feet all day.
1700
01:34:32,417 --> 01:34:34,127
- Any stress?
(DICK CHUCKLES)
1701
01:34:38,340 --> 01:34:39,883
- Okay.
1702
01:34:40,008 --> 01:34:43,220
You need to watch that,
it's a big contributing factor.
1703
01:34:43,345 --> 01:34:44,846
So as I said,
your kidney function
1704
01:34:44,971 --> 01:34:46,890
is currently at 50 percent.
1705
01:34:47,015 --> 01:34:50,102
18 months ago, it was 65.
1706
01:34:50,227 --> 01:34:54,648
Any lower, and you're at
serious risk for kidney failure.
1707
01:34:54,773 --> 01:34:56,483
Okay, I'm going to
check on you later.
1708
01:34:59,653 --> 01:35:01,488
- Thanks.
- Thank you.

- How ya feeling'?
1715
01:35:30,183 --> 01:35:32,477
That must've been some spill.
I felt it through the phone.
1716

Here, I brought ya...
1717
01:35:35,647 --> 01:35:37,190
I brought ya some...
1718
01:35:39,359 --> 01:35:40,986
I'll set it right here.
1719
01:35:43,780 --> 01:35:46,533
Dick. There's a card in there.
1720
01:35:50,245 --> 01:35:51,580
Go ahead.
1721
01:35:51,705 --> 01:35:54,541
- That's okay.
- Here. Just...
1722
01:35:54,666 --> 01:35:56,251
I think you'll be happy.
1723

- What's it look like?
1725
01:36:10,682 --> 01:36:11,975
- A blank check.
1726
01:36:15,604 --> 01:36:17,439

1727
01:36:17,564 --> 01:36:19,691

up on your feet in no time.

- Hello, Dick.

-
DICK: 2. 7 Million.
1739

It's a million for
each of us after taxes.

And one percent of the
company's profits in perpetuity.

- That's outrageous!
That's borderline extortion!

That's a bunch of bullshit!
Bullshit!

- I know it seems
like a lot now...

- Yeah, that seems like
a lot of money anytime.
1745
01:38:03,336 --> 01:38:05,589
- And they want one other thing.
- What?

- San Bernardino.
- Uh-uh. No way.
1747

- To give to their longtime
employees as a gift.
1748
01:38:11,219 --> 01:38:13,138
- I need the profits
from San Bernardino

the purchase loan.

four of your contract.

start my own business

got the kitchen tour?

- How many of them succeed?

- Lots of people
started restaurants.
1788
01:40:47,625 --> 01:40:49,085
- As big as McDonald's?
1789
01:40:49,210 --> 01:40:50,587
Of course not.

No one ever has
and no one ever will.

Because they all lack
that one thing

it sounds like America.

As compared to "Kroc". What
a crock. What a load of crock.

One word, persistence.

full of educated fools.

Ah, yes. The beginning.
1866
01:45:52,722 --> 01:45:56,225

- Be right down.

01:46:29,008 --> 01:46:31,511
That's where it all started.
1872
01:46:34,138 --> 01:46:36,557
Right there on Lee Street.

(SOMBER MUSIC)
1875

RAY: It was a typical
English-American word,
1876
01:47:13,970 --> 01:47:15,888
it flowed. McDonald's.
1877
01:47:16,013 --> 01:47:17,432
I liked the sound of it.
1878
01:47:17,557 --> 01:47:21,102
It sounded wholesome
and it sounded genuine.
1879
01:47:21,227 --> 01:47:25,815

01:47:29,986 --> 01:47:34,031
burger this and burger that
and all that kind of stuff.
1883
01:47:34,157 --> 01:47:37,034
McDonald's, it's got a
nice sounding name.
1884
01:47:37,160 --> 01:47:39,203
("SPIRIT IN THE SKY" PLAYING)
1885
01:49:19,845 --> 01:49:23,558
RAY: Nobody had eight
multi-mixers in one business.
1886
01:49:23,683 --> 01:49:25,601
So I went out there.
1887
01:49:25,726 --> 01:49:27,436
And I was amazed!
1888
01:49:27,562 --> 01:49:29,981
They were serving
hamburgers for fifteen cents.
1889
01:49:30,106 --> 01:49:33,609
French fries for ten cents and
milkshakes for twenty cents.
1890
01:49:33,734 --> 01:49:36,487
And basically that was
the menu, and I said,
1891
01:49:36,612 --> 01:49:37,822
that's for me.
1892
01:49:37,947 --> 01:49:39,657
Now I have ultimatums, you know.
1893
01:49:39,782 --> 01:49:43,619
...except that I'd like
to be able to say that.
1894
01:49:43,744 --> 01:49:46,956
I bought the agreement back
from them for two million,
1895
01:49:47,081 --> 01:49:49,417
seven hundred thousand dollars.
1896
01:49:49,542 --> 01:49:52,545
I got the name,
the Golden Arches,
1897
01:49:52,670 --> 01:49:57,883
basically it was a matter of me
working longer and harder
1898
01:49:58,009 --> 01:49:59,927
than anybody else.
1899
01:50:00,052 --> 01:50:03,723
I'll take every resource that
I have and I'll put it in
1900
01:50:03,848 --> 01:50:06,267
and I'll go for broke
if I believe in it.
1901
01:50:06,392 --> 01:50:08,811
The only thing I could do
besides play the piano,
1902
01:50:08,936 --> 01:50:11,272
was to talk.
What happened to my talk?
1903
01:50:11,397 --> 01:50:15,985
It's not dog eat dog out there
in that competitive world,
1904
01:50:16,110 --> 01:50:18,529
it gets more like rat eat rat.
1905
01:50:18,654 --> 01:50:21,073
