Episode Summary – Complete the expressions
In this episode, — слухи распространились, that Ray’s ambitions are growing beyond the brothers’ cautious vision, and the conflict is — ясно как день. What begins as enthusiasm over a “wiz-bang idea” quickly turns into — время расплаты, a moment when everyone realizes the stakes have changed. The business is — гонка началась, and Ray is determined not to slow down.
As Joan and Ray discuss the booming new stadium site, its potential seems almost — 30 лет подготовок. Ray mentally — развернул мою карту, imagining crowds, — пешеходный поток, and endless opportunities. For him, ambition becomes — то, что составляет суть жизни, even if the brothers find some of his ideas nearly — кощунственными.
Meanwhile, Dick confronts Ray about decisions made — перешедшими все границы, as powdered mixes and shortcuts go — выходящими за рамки наших основных убеждений. The brothers still see themselves as — порядочными people trying to — держать под строгим контролем quality, unwilling to indulge in — грубый, примитивный commercialism. But Ray views such restraint as — посредственное thinking in a world that rewards boldness.
The tension escalates when Ray dismisses their objections and attacks their refusal to — разделить трапезу with innovation. Their finances—already threatened by — тающие сбережения, and stress—clash with Ray’s relentless push to — оправдать (окупить) every move with profit. His worldview: business is war, and only those with — настойчивость survive.
Ultimately, the brothers realize they may be — побеждёнными, unable to match Ray’s — неиссякаемую energy. His combination of confidence and aggression often feels — неприятным, отвратительным, but he insists the name “McDonald’s” alone can — символизировать an American dream. By the time they discuss selling, the outcome is already inevitable — the — вопрос, что было первым — яйцо или курица — dilemma of vision versus control is resolved in Ray’s favor.
