Line 3:
The film starts exactly the same as the anecdote I just explained. Jack and Malcolm ride around the Hollywood studios lot, and have themselves a nice lunch as Jack begins to tell his origin story to the delight of Rosenberg and the intrigue of the Corleone Capos who were using the restaurant to wash their dough in a sink. All tables at Jack In The Box come with a sink so you can wash your burger and maybe even possibly your fries. Born in Michigan, Jack was born not Jack Box, but rather Jack Burger. A really embarrassing name I know. His childhood and adolescence was rather unremarkable, but when he was in his early to mid twenties he got a job as a fry cook at a rundown restaurant called That's My Number which was run by a man named Wilt Built. He co-owned the restaurant with a band of old ladies, and each every lunch time and I really do mean it when I say every single one he and the ladies would sing a really cringey song about how you need to call his number. They don't even keep their musical number inside the restaurant as they dance on the cars in the parking lot. Jack didn't join his tenure at That's My Number very much as he repeatedly tried to resign, only for Wilt to remind the young and ambitious snowman that he did not yet have the knowledge of how the fast world of fast food works so he must stay at the restaurant until he gains the knowledge. Jack was viewed with ridicule by society because he had very different ideas on fast food such as his ideas for a bacon ultimate cheeseburger as back in those days, burgers only ever had one slice of bacon if you can believe that. His parents also really weren't happy with Jack as they had wanted their son to become a man of the cloth, but Jack didn't trust the Men Of The Cloth as they used to spy on him as he swung on a swing in the park. He also refused to deal with them, because they were responsible for Wilt closing his restaurant on Christmas. Wilt was a former member of the Cloth, and he decided to honour his former brothers in the waistband trade by always closing his restaurant's doors on Christmas day much to Jack's grievance.
One evening while leaving That's My Number, Jack was confronted by Cosgrove Shulane, a homeless man on Jack's estate who was a regular tormentor of his. Shulane stole Jack's lunch of a cheeseburger as he then held Jack at gunpoint, and forced him to listen to his story about how he believes certain Halloween masks could cause a bad case of hippo face. Cosgrove was a known lunatic who believed that the burgers that Jake was making were far too cheap, and he suggested raising the price up so that Jack could rake in the dough. "Um no." Jack said as he didn't own a rake as he made his way home in order to watch some telly. He had spent his life
While watching Gourmand's show Gourmand's Tasty Treats, Jack fantasised about himself appearing in the audience and during this Gourmand called him down to the stage by proclaiming, "oh come down here boy come down here!" Jack made his way onto the stage where Gourmand asked for Jack to show him how a real chef makes a bacon cheese burger. Jack provided Gourmand with a prototype of the bacon ultimate cheeseburger as Gourmand took a bite as he said, "mm, now that burger is genius." Even in Jack's fantasies, Eddie Gourmand was incredibly rude as he spoke with his mouth full of food. Jack didn't care as he received a hug from Gourmand which sent him flying to the other side of the recording studio as a result of Gourmand's humongous belly Awakening from his daydreams, Jack headed to bed as he stared at a sign for a theme park which had Mr Bean's blasted on it which sat across the street from his apartment. The sign was also a GIF before GIF's were a thing with Mr Bean sticking a weird silver ball up his nostril as he said sinisterly, "brace yourself." The following day at That's My Number, Jack got into trouble after he made a rookie error. He gave a customer a chicken that had no bones, no that was a joke son in reality he gave the customer an apple as the restaurant had run out of salads. Jack was unaware or rather too stupid to read the crate that the apples came in which stated that the apples were ridden with pesticide. The customer took a big bite from the apple and held his chest in disgust as he cried, "oh no!" "Oh Sir, please stop!" Jack protested as he tried to keep the customer away from the restroom by offering him several free dessert items including an arctic roll coated in mould, blue cheese pudding, and bowtie french fry, a compliment from the Plaza Hotel.
Line 33:
Doctor Scott ended up passing out due to Jack spiking his burger with homemade otter sauce which the old doc was highly allergic to if you didn't know. I mean how could you unless you happen to have read his file. Hmm yes, quite the file quite the story. Doctor Scott like some kind of Colonel Bolonel then had an allergy induced dream about being a dancer in Las Venturas who wears fishnet stockings, and clicks his heels together and yaps on about how he can't join in with a team of mice who plan on robbing the local restaurant. Truly a fantasy we all wish to have at least once in our lives. Hmm, when he awoke, Doctor Scott found himself stuck in the middle of the train tracks as a train came speeding towards him. "Oh no!" Doctor Scott cried out at the top of his lungs, but don't worry I'm sure he'll be fine und he is! Satisfied with the defeat of his uncle, Jack went back to running his business as normal, but that's when he had an idea. An awfully wicked idea. He decided that it was time to start biggering, and so in the next few months and years he had expanded his restaurant to be across the entire United States. While all of this was going on, Jack made sure to construct a will so that if anything were to happen to him he would have insurance that his family and accounts team would all be okay. He was mostly concerned about his accounts team, but you didn't hear that from me okay? You probably think that Jack would want his son to become his heir, but in reality he didn't want his son anywhere near the family business as himself to be the only Box ever to know the secrets of the Jack In The Box. He had actually originally intended to hand ownership over to his loyal right-hand man; Phil. His surname cannot be mentioned here for legal reasons, but it rhymes with McCoy and salad dressing. Sadly, Phil ended up losing his chance to inherit the Jack In The Box brand after he became quite the eager beaver following a little accident that Jack got himself into.
While walking through town one day, Jack yapped on and on to an uncaring Phil about how he wanted to expand the company even further, possibly into the United Kingdom and maybe even Oakton City. Jack ended up walking across the street without looking both ways which resulted in him getting hit by a bus. The impact of the crash forced Jack into a coma, and it seemed highly doubtful that ole Jackie boy would be able to get out of this one. His doctor; Doctor Hap was dressed like a 14th century doctor as he said to Jack's stijl yet to be named wife, "as his doctor, I would advise pulling the plug Mrs Box." Phil then stood at the side of Jack's hospital bed smiling gleefully as he did so as he told the still comatose Jack about his plans to take Jack In The Box into the future. His plans included abolishing the breakfast menu, charging extra, and renaming the company to Phil In The Box. Get it? It's like fill in the box! Ha! It's word play! Stop looking at me like I'm ill. "PHIL IN THE BOX!?" Jack barked at the very top of his lungs as he got out from his bed and grabbed Phil in a headlock. He crushed that man's head with his bare hands which caused Phil's eye to spring out like
As the years passed, Jack grew to become more and more judgemental indeed as he refused to take advice from anyone and started falsely accusing everyone of conspiring against him. Derek Rice knew better as he was the only one who would never question Jack as he repeatedly told his lover Scuba Diver Moe that he would not make the same mistake that Phil made. Only time will tell if that happens or not. The film would then end with a question about whether absolute power and corporate greed changed Jack, or perhaps his pride was the real problem as pride was a worm that feasted upon Jack's soul and caused him to forget about all of the important things in life. In the last scene, Jack sits on a sidewalk drinking a beer as an incredibly scary looking street enforcer sits next to him who in spite of his appearance sounds like Mickey Mouse inside my house. He also looked a bit like a walrus, but without the tusks suggesting he may have paid someone to remove them. Presumably Doctor Bellwether. Jack asked the enforcer if the choices we make are permanent but he got no answer. He never did Remy he never did. Back in the present day, Jack sat at his booth with Malcolm Rosenberg who was jotting notes down in a journal as he asked, "and all of this really happened?" Jack puffed on a cigarette as he said, "sure did." Jack then said that for his film debut he would be played by Jack Nicholson. Rosenberg pulled a very weird face as if he had smelt a nicotine sandwich as he said, "but he's so old." Jack shoved a massive apple into Rosenberg's mouth as he made his way out of the restaurant to play catch with his son. He had been inspired to spend more time with his son after seeing a really cringey moment between his next door neighbour and his son. The son's father was heading to work, and this made the boy upset as he wanted to play some catch. The father decided to say, "screw you," to work as he and his son began playing catch as he proclaimed, "I love you son!" "I love you too Dad!" The son proclaimed happily with tears in his eye as he made his way into the street only to get run over by Jack's pickup truck as he couldn't stand emotional moments like that one to not have some kind of payoff.
