"[first lines] I know what youre thinkin... What the heck do I need a 5-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 mentioned... that thered be costs. Well, I think it applies here. Do you not need the multimixer because, well heck, youre not selling enough milkshakes. Or are you not selling enough milkshakes because you dont have a multimixer? I firmly believe its the latter. Because your customer comes in here and he knows if he orders a shake from your establishment... that well, hes in for a terrific wait. Hes done it before and he thinks to himself, well, by golly, Im not gonna make that mistake again. But if ya had the Prince Castle, 5-spindle, multimixer... with patented direct-drive electric motor wed greatly increase your ability to produce... delicious, frosty milkshakes, FAST. Mark my words. Dollars to donuts, youll be sellin more of those sons-of-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 youre a bright, forward thinking guy who... knows a good idea when he hears one. So... What do you say?"

"Now, I know what youre thinkin. How the heck does a 52-year-old, over-the-hill milkshake-machine salesman... build a fast-food empire with 16,000 restaurants, in 50 states, in 5 foreign countries... with an annual revenue of in the neighborhood of $700,000,000.00... One word... PERSISTENCE. Nothing in this world can take the place of good old persistence. Talent wont. Nothings more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius wont. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education wont. Why the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful. ... Its these core principles... that enabled me to rise to the top of a heap... at a point in life when most men would be thinking about retirement. Why, we appear to have that in common, governer Reagan."
