Mad Men

I could have had you. I could have shamed you into being with me.

Are you related to Eugene Hofstadt ?

- Yes, I am. What is it ? - He passed away.

He's dead and he's never coming back.

You know what you did to Freddy Ramson ?

I refuse to fell bad, we' are going to get raises.

Don, it is very necessary ?

It is.

Because he loves this room and hearing his own voice and saving the day.

Duck, would you excuse us for a moment ?

Season 3 Episode 5 The Fog

I was expecting the Piersons as well, but they're not coming.

Please.

My goodness.

Of course. Here, take mine.

I appreciate that both of you are here.

What happened?

The children were at the water fountain during gym

and Sally told Becky Pierson she should save some for the fish.

Becky ignored her.

Sally hit the back of her head and her face went into the spigot.

And then Becky went after her...

Hair pulling, scratching.

She didn't need stitches in the end, I understand?

This girl... This Becky Pierson,

- Sally told me she's a bruiser. - She's heavy.

The children poke pencils into her sides

when she's sitting because they think she can't feel it.

- Sally doesn't do that, does she? - No...

But...

this bad behavior is new.

I know that you're expecting a child, but she already has a little brother.

I guess what I'm asking is, has anything changed at home recently?

My...

My father passed away

last week...

The week before... Two weeks now.

I feel terrible for bringing that up for you.

Well, it... it has not been easy.

Is this grandpa Gene we're talking about?

Oh, that poor thing.

Sally didn't mention it?

Why didn't you call us or send a note?

I don't think she missed a day.

Did she go to the funeral?

Why would we put her through that?

I don't think children belong in graveyards.

No, of course not.

Now I realize why she was asking all those questions

about Medgar Evers' murder.

She was?

I'm... I'm sorry.

I have to use the ladies'room again.

- We can talk about this another time. - No, I'm not as upset as I look.

I... I can't help this.

I am mortified.

It's not a good time.

No, and...

it really should be, shouldn't it?

Sally does need more attention.

She's grieving.

There is a very special pain

to losing someone at that age.

I don't know if you can understand that.

I can.

Mrs. Draper, I was just talking to your husband

and this really can wait.

Are you sure?

Because I just want to put it behind us.

I just really want everything to be okay when the baby comes.

It's going to be a beautiful summer.

75. Hat-check tip

50.

Tap the restaurant ***. $1.12. Tipped *** 38.

Dinner $19.44."

It's better to have a bit of Don Draper than no Don Draper at all.

I'd like that in writing.

It seems strange that the two of you went

on the same overnight trip and you put in for $70

and he put in for $82.

If I were lying, wouldn't I have made it a round number?

Not that Don's lying.

I signed his receipts, didn't I?

Which brings us to the undocumented portion of my assessment.

The amount of pencils, pens,

pads, paper and postage

that are currently being consumed suit a company four times our size.

It has also been brought to my attention that a credenza

has disappeared...

A theft that I believe necessitates a conspiracy.

People forget that Karl Marx was the greatest economist who ever lived.

And whatever you think of his solution,

the problem he posed was about the catastrophic up

and down of the marketplace.

Tell the folks at Admiral that Karl Marx says everything's okay.

"Boom and bust. Bull and bear. I need a tv. I have a tv."

Damn it, someone helped Ken cherry-pick all of Burt's successful accounts

and I've been left with the dogs.

- Admiral is not a dog. - Sales are flat.

It's all over their memos.

And now I have to look them in the eye with nothing...

Except maybe new creative.

Stop it.

Now you're interested.

There are some areas of growth, and I me literally areas...

Atlanta, Oakland,

Chicago, Detroit,

Newark, D. C.

Great jazz cities.

And I left out St. Louis and Kansas city... Also growing.

- What does that mean? - Great jazz musicians?

Seriously, is it possible that these Admirals are being bought by negroes?

Lois caught her scarf putting paper in the Xerox.

Maybe when Joan leaves I can finally get rid of her.

Can you pretend like you're back in the media department

and tell me what this says to you?

Look at the cities.

Is it possible that negroes are outbuying other people 2:1?

You could jump to that conclusion, I suppose.

Did you hear about Lois?

- You've got a winner there, Kinsey. - Did you see it?

I did.

So what's everybody doing tonight? Baby. Married.

Do you want to go to the Mets game? Tickets and a watch.

Why, thank you, birds eye.

Does the watch say "birds eye" on it?

No, it says "Hamilton electric."

What time is it? What time isn't it?

Admiral is happy. We're happy.

They're not happy!

"Morris, comma,"

"in reference to retooling the factory for London fog children's"

"and young adults"...

I thought I'd bring you the minutes of the meeting, since you had to run off.

You're wasting paper.

I'd have to make 1,000 to keep up with your department.

They waste paper because they throw out bad ideas.

They waste paper because they use it to sop up spilled drinks

right after their mid-afternoon naps.

You came here because we do this better than you, nd part of that

is letting our creatives be unproductive until they are.

Pennies make pounds, and pounds make profits.

I don't want to talk to you this way.

I've tried it before and it never works.

I'm not usually this emotional.

You want to make money?

Start getting your nails dirty with Bert Cooper and Harry Crane.

Clients love to pay for media and creative needs pencils.

I suppose I hadn't necessarily thought of it that way.

And lay off of expense accounts.

Think of the men's moral, not just your own.

You've obviously seen "Bridge on the river kwai."

I've seen everything. You have my ticket stubs.

Your uncle Herman is on the line. He won't leave a message.

Uncle herman?

My goodness, is aunt Alice all right?

- Who is this? - It's Peter,

- Dottie's boy. You called me. - It's duck... Duck phillips.

- Duck. - Sorry for the cloak and dagger.

I didn't want to set off any alarm bells.

My name is Herman, you know that.

Except that I actually have an uncle Herman and he's 91.

That's a sick joke. I apologize.

It's been too long.

I don't know if you heard, but I'm at grey now.

What's that like?

People walking around the halls all the time,

laughing their heads off?

We're going to have lunch, you know.

I don't know, Duck. It doesn't sound like a good idea.

Campbell, this is beyond "no hard feelings."

I won't waste your time. Haven't I always been on your side?

- When? - I'll have my girl call your girl.

I'll say it's Clorox.

Hello?

Anyone home?

I'll get it.

- Mr. Draper? - Yes.

This is Suzanne Farrell,

Sally's teacher.

I'm not interrupting dinner, am I?

I just felt I should call and apologize about our meeting this morning.

Why?

What I mean is

my father died when I was eight

and I might have overdone it,

relating to Sally in that way.

I didn't mean to upset your wife.

I guess I can get a little caught up in things

and lose perspective.

I don't know why I'm calling. I'm embarrassing myself.

No, you're fine.

If there's anything I can do...

Thanks for the call.

It's time to go.

Okay, we're going. Let me get my keys.

They're in your hand.

Francine took the kids.
