Mac McDonald Quotes in The Founder (2016)
Mac McDonald Quotes:
-
Ray Kroc: While you two boys were content to sit back and become a couple of also-rans... I wanna take the future. I wanna win. And you don't get there by being some "aw shucks" guy sap. There's no place in business for people like that. Business is war. It's dog eat dog, rat eat rat. If my competitor were drowning, I'd walk over and put a hose right in his mouth. Can you say the same?
Mac McDonald: [pause] I can't. Nor would I want to.
Ray Kroc: Hence, your single location.
Mac McDonald: We want you out of this company, Ray.
Ray Kroc: Mac, how do you propose we do that?
Mac McDonald: We will sue you, whatever it takes.
Ray Kroc: And you'd probably win. But you can't afford to sue me. I'd bury you in court costs alone. Mac, I'm the president and C.E.O. of a major corporation with land holdings in 17 states... You run a burger stand in the desert. I'm national. You're fucking local.
[Mac collapses]

Mac McDonald: Dick. We will never beat him. We will never be rid of him.
-- Mac McDonald -
Ray Kroc: Let me explain something to you Dick... You boys have full say over what goes on inside the restaurants. But outside, above, below... your authority stops at the door. And at the floor. Alright?
Mac McDonald: What is he saying?
Dick McDonald: He's buying the land.
Mac McDonald: Our land?
