Manned by two cooks, whose sole job it is to cook those all-beef beauties to perfection. Meanwhile, as the patty cooks, our dressers get the buns ready. Watch out. Burger crossing!

    McDonald's Employees: Burger crossing!

    Mac McDonald: Every McDonald's burger has two pickles, a pinch of onions, and a precise shot of ketchup and mustard.

    Ray Kroc: [Points to the ketchup and mustard despensers] Now, where did you get those?

    Mac McDonald: We made them.

    Ray Kroc: Made them?

    Mac McDonald: Yes, custom-built. The whole kitchen is. Next, this is the finishing station where we put the whole thing together. And...

    [Leads Ray to the end of the line, holding up a wrapped hamburger]

    Mac McDonald: Voila! A fresh, delicious burger from grill to counter in 30 seconds.

  • Mac McDonald: This is not your company, Ray!
