Mad Men

Previously on AMC's Mad Men...

You stay away from her! You hear me?

Don, are you ever gonna call back the American Cancer Society?

They've tried you twice this morning.

I'm not gonna run out of here crying tomorrow.

She's gone.

I know.

I think it's time for us to move.

Meet me for dinner, in the open, wherever I want, because...

We can do that now.

Hello?

I still have to pack for a 7:00 A.M. Flight

Thanks to you.

Will you at least put me out of my misery before you go?

Stop it. American cancer loved the letter

And they're gonna love you.

And then you're gonna stop working,

Take your kids to California and have a ball.

I have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Listen, maybe it's not all about work.

Maybe that sick feeling might go away

If you take your head out of the sand about

The past.

You know it's not that simple.

Of course it isn't,

And you don't have to do it alone.

But if you resolve some of that,

You might be more comfortable with everything.

And then what happens?

And then you're stuck trying to be a person like the rest of us.

I'll call you Tuesday when you get back.

I'm gonna miss you, you know.

- Any outgoing? - Just... This.

Don't post it. It's for you.

It's been discussed among the partners

That you be promoted

To director of agency operations.

My goodness.

Now it's a dreadful reality

That we've not signed any new business in 10 weeks,

So I hope you'll understand

That this is a title only... For now.

Well, it's almost an honor.

What made you suddenly write that?

Well, most of it was in the letter, hopefully.

But I think in my heart it was an impulse,

Because I knew what I needed to do to move forward.

Well, it was a gesture we hope will be useful.

We believe, obviously, that lung cancer is avoidable

And can be thwarted with the right campaign.

- But how? - We know frightening medical facts are useless.

- Half of us are smokers. - I'smoker too.

And you can forget about us. I've worked $10 million campaigns

That can't even get people to change brands.

I can tell you from the inside

That the business is really only about getting new smokers.

Teenagers are a tough sell.

Not to tobacco companies.

They play on a two-pronged attack,

Promising adulthood and rebellion.

But teenagers are sentimental as well.

Have you heard their music?

I can tell you a little of what I have in mind.

I have to say it's very interesting.

Go on.

What I'm suggesting is a series of commercials

That run during "bandstand" and the like.

Show mothers and daughters or fathers and sons

And that cigarettes are between them.

And you show with a walk on the beach,

Baking cookies, playing catch,

That the parents are not long for this world.

But they hate their parents.

They won't be thinking about their parents.

They'll be thinking about themselves.

That's what they do.

The truth is

They're mourning for their childhood

More than they're anticipating their future,

Because they don't know it yet but they don't want to die.

If it helps, I can guarantee you that lucky strike will hate this.

- How'd it go? - So did you get cancer?

Megan, can you get Mr. Cosgrove?

We've got a meeting for another meeting.

They were eating out of his hand.

And even better, the board was loaded

With fat cats just like you said.

Don had a particularly empathic exchange

With the c.E.O. Of Dow chemical.

Saran wrap would be nice.

I'll take him out on the links, let him beat me.

Roger, this is a philanthropic organization.

Don and I think it best if we approach from the rear.

- Are we celebrating? - Don got us to the top three.

- Stupendous. - Ken, sit down.

Everett Marlowe at Dow is a very charming fellow.

Your father-in-law to be is at corning, rht?

Well, they must be quite acquainted.

I think that's likely.

Well, I was thinking

Wouldn't it be fun to have a foursome this weekend

That includes your father-in-law, yourself and Mr. Marlowe?

Doesn't that sound like fun?

I don't know.

Ken, there's no reason to be suddenly shy.

I'm sure if you impressed Everett this morning

That should be enough to get him on the phone.

Well, I just looked him in the eye and convinced him

I was some kind of idealistic businessman.

How is it gonna look if I call for a meeting?

Pretty bad, I guess.

But I'm not Pete.

- Sorry about that. - No, you're obviously not.

Tom Vogel is our biggest client

Unless we sign Dow, which would be yours.

Look, I love Cynthia's dad

And I know that every account I have will eventually leave me.

That's awfully pessimistic.

Well, it's not worth the risk.

Cynthia's my life... my actual life.

Fine, if you want to tuck it between your legs, I'll call him,

But I have to warn you, I'm going to drop your name.

You do whatever you want.

Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go service

The 30% of this firm that are my clients.

Hello, Carla. Is Sally home?

She is, but you shouldn't be here.

Are they moving today?

Monday. That's the salvation army.

Mrs. Draper's car is gone. I just wanted to say hi.

I don't know.

Fine. I just want to say bye.

She's upstairs.

Don't be long. Mrs. Francis just ran to the store.

Thank you.

It's Glen. Are you decent?

Come in.

You really shouldn't be here.

So you're finally moving.

This weekend while we're in California with my dad.

Jeez, is that where you're moving?

No, we're moving to rye.

I'll be able to drive in a few years.

- I can come visit. - Really?

Absolutely.

I can send you postcards.

I have your address.

It's not at big a deal.

I say goodbye to people all the time.

Okay. Are you going to Disneyland?

- Yes. - Get me something.

- What are you doing here? - I'm sorry.

- It's my fault. - Get out.

- What are you waiting for? - Why do you hate me?

You don't think I know what you're doing?

- You could be friends with anyone! - Just 'cause you're sad

Doesn't mean everybody has to be.

I'm sorry.

I didn't see the harm. He wanted to say goodbye.

- Did you leave them alone? - They're friends, that's all.

When did you decide that you're her mother?

It was a mistake.

There's no need for that kind of talk.

You know what, Carla?

I've been thinking

And the distance is...

I need someone new nearby,

Someone closer to the new house.

This should square us for the week.

Do you think I enjoy doing this?

After all these years? I won't have it, Carla.

Well, someone has to look after those children.

Really? And where are your kids?

- Are they all doctors and lawyers? - You'd best stop talking now.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to say goodbye to the children.

Do you think that's a good idea right now?

It'll just upset them more.

Some other time.

The bungalow in San Pedro

Netted you 10 grand in profit.

What's happening with the other house?

I have a listing appointment with the Realtor when I get back from California,

- But I have no idea what it's worth. - It's ossining,

But I say you'll more than double your money,

Which is not bad for 10 years.

What about the loss for what I put into the company?

That's an investment. It's not a loss.

Don't be impatient.

Enjoy the harvest. Plant some seeds.

Maybe get a place of your own.

Don't you want to go home someday and see a steak on the table?

So, Mary sunshine,

What's the capital gains? 48%?

Mrs. Francis is on the phone.

- It's urgent. - You want me to go?

It's always urgent.

- Hello? - I'm very sorry,

And I know this will disrupt your plans,

But I'm afraid I had to let Carla go today.

What? What happened?
