Hello, welcome to McDonald's, may I help you?

Hi, could I get an Egg McMuffin, please?

An Egg McMuffin?

Yes, please.

We don't sell those right now.

Has this ever happened to you? Desperate for a McDonald's breakfast only to find someone other than you has decided 1 breakfast is over.

We'll take a hot cake and sausage.

Ah sorry sir, we've stopped serving breakfast.

What are you talking about? We're 4 seconds late.

No you're 30 minutes and 4 seconds late. We stop serving breakfast at 10: 30.

Ahh, horse.

Horse, feathers is what Adam Sandler meant to say. And why not?

In today's busy non-nine-to-five world, food-analyst Ron Paul says people want what they want when they want it.

Once it’s 2 minutes after that 10: 30 period, and you wanna get a breakfast item, I've seen people walk away very unhappy. That's what they wanted.

Yeah, I've waited outside the McDonald's for half hour till they serve breakfast again before. 'Cause I wanted just Egg McMuffin.

Well, now there is news that maybe someday that waiting could be over and that McDonald's may devise a newer cooking system to deliver breakfast day and night.

Our life styles today are very much unstructured, lots of people are working at home. The Internet has made us kind of a 24-7 world and it makes perfect sense that we wanna eat when we wanna eat.

Sometimes, I 'm on the sleep I should be awake ; I'm awake when I should be sleep. So, sometimes you don't know what time breakfast is.

I cried once, because they stopped serving it at 10: 15 AM.

She may have cried. But Michael Douglas?

I Just want a little breakfast.

We stop serving breakfast at 11: 30. He got downright ornery when the fast food joint 2 he was in wouldn't whip up an egg.

I don't want lunch, I want breakfast.

Yeah, well hey, I'm really sorry.

Yeah, well hey, I'm really sorry too.

Hey! That's a little eggxtreme.

As for the Golden Arches 3, a company's spokesman 4 says the idea is years away from reality.

So in the meantime, get cracking and arrive before breakfast is cut off.
