INT. JOE’S DRIVE-IN - KITCHEN - NEXT DAY
The kitchen of another drive-in, Kroc pitching to the OWNER.
The scene is virtually identical to the previous day’s.
RAY KROC:
Increase supply, demand will
follow. Chicken and the egg. You
follow my logic? Of course you do.
You’re a bright, forward-thinking
fella who knows a good idea when he
hears it.
(BEAT)
So whaddaya say?
EXT. PARKING LOT - SHORT TIME LATER
Kroc lugs the sample Multimixer back to his car.

INT. KROC’S CAR - SHORT TIME LATER
Kroc is pulled up to a customer spot in front of Joe’s Drive-
In. The scene before him is very much like the one at Ed’s
Drive-In, a riot of teenage rowdiness.
He looks at his watch. It’s 12:45. He HONKS, shouting out to
no one in particular:
RAY KROC:
Could someone tell me when my...
He trails off as a female CARHOP approaches with a tray. She
hooks the tray onto his car door.
CARHOP:
Enjoy.
She heads off. He lifts the cover off his plate, primed to
dig in. His face falls at the sight of the hamburger beneath.
He leans out the window, honks.
RAY KROC:
He’s howling into the void.
EXT. MERRIMAN’S DRIVE-IN - LATER
Another drive-in. Kroc with the OWNER.
RAY KROC:
Mr. Merriman, are you familiar with
the notion of the chicken and the-
OWNER:
No, thank you.
The Owner disappears into the restaurant. Kroc, shut down,
lugs the Multimixer over to his nearby car, heaves it into
the trunk. He takes a swig from his FLASK.
EXT. MERRIMAN’S DRIVE-IN - MOMENTS LATER
Kroc at a pay phone, dialing a long-distance number.
JUNE MARTINO (O.S.)
Prince Castle, how may I help you?
RAY KROC:
Hi, June.

INT. PRINCE CASTLE SALES - CONTINUOUS
A modest office in a Chicago high-rise. At the reception desk
is secretary JUNE MARTINO. (Intercut as necessary.)
JUNE MARTINO:
Ray. How’s it going down there?
RAY KROC:
Fine, swell, lot of interest.
JUNE MARTINO:
That’s terrific. Hold on, I’ll
fetch your messages.
She grabs a pile of messages off the desk.
JUNE MARTINO (CONT’D)
Let’s see:
Gene Rafferty fromUnited Aluminum, says he needs to
reschedule Friday... Ed Nance
calling again about the refund... a
lady from March of Dimes about a
donation... oh, and we got an
order. Six.
