Ronald McDonald
Here I am, kids. Hey, isn't watching TV fun? Especially when you've got delicious McDonald's hamburgers.

Narrator
Ronald, you can't be on TV and watch it at the same time. Now come on and meet the boys and girls.

Ronald McDonald
Oh, we've already met. I know we're gonna be friends, too, 'cause I like to everything boys and girls like to do, especially when it comes to eating those delicious McDonald's hamburgers. A magic tray here keeps me well supplied—McDonald's hamburgers, French fries, and milkshakes. Watch for me on TV. We'll have lots of fun!
