Mad Men

previously on mad men...

but you're the new girl and you're not much so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

Of course.

You know who else doesn't wear a hat?Elvis.

That's what we're dealing with.

Remind me to stop hiring young people.

My mother passed away,recently.

I guess I already said that.

I am appreciative of your talents and I have made an effort to quantify.

Twenty-five hundred dollars.

Dance with me.

I don't like you like this.

Mad Men Season01 Episode09

mommy,look at that!

don draper!How are you?

Probably about like you.

Enduring the splendor of theorello.

You know,we got that israeli tourism thing,right?

Mazal tov.

I ran into jim jordan from B.B.D.O.At the athletic club with,uh,frank from Y.N.R.

Your name came up.

Three millionaires in towels in a steam room.

I don't know how to take that.

Take it as a compliment,a sign that you're destined for greater things.

I think jesus over rio was the best tourist campaign I've seen in over 20 years.

It wasn't good enough to land the israelis.

Ah,that's not you.

That's the tiny store you work in.

Now,if you were with me at mccann,you'd have over 500 people at your disposal,

and that's just in new york.

We can get a lot of things done.

Can it get me out of the second half of this show?

All I'm saying is you've done your time in the farm leagues.

Yankee stadium is on the line.

I changed my mind.

I decided you deserve a visit to the bar.

Adele,this is donald draper.

If we're being introduced,I assume that you're in advertising.

Would you both like to talk about that some more?

Betty,my wife.

Jim and adele hobart.

Hello,betty draper.

Pleasure.

Your husband here was about to prove that he can speak about things other than advertising.

Oh,he's very interesting.

Well,then,come with me.

Let's get those drinks.We'll be back.

Champagne?

Besides getting the handsome prince,are you,uh,an actress or something?

No,I'm a housewife.

I did do some modeling a lifetime ago.

I'm not surprised.

That is some face you've got there.

Anybody ever tell you you're a dead ringer for grace kelly?

They used to.

You know what?

Coca-cola is deep into this,uh,international campaign right now.

A european face like yours,like grace kelly's,

might be a road we could go down.

Uh,we could put a call out for a grace kelly type but,

uh,I don't think we'd come this close.

You say you've modeled?

I'm retired.

This is silly.

Think about it.

Your coloring with a green bottle and an irish setter.

Drink up.

It's back to tammany hall.

I like this show.

Very gay songs.

well,we'd better get back in there...

or leave.

Come on.

Uh,it was very nice meeting both of you.

why didn't you want to go to dinner with jim and adele?

People like jim hobart always talk business because they have nothing else to say.

I could see that.

You know,he gave me his card.

Really?

Tell you to put it under my pillow or something?

No,actually.

He was talking to me about modeling.

Was he?

I don't think it was like that.

He said something about grace kelly and coca-cola.

Well,then there's no need to doubt his interest then.

I did model,don.

Am I that wrong for coca-cola?

you're not wrong for anything.

So,are you going to go there?

how was theorello exclamation point?

It'll be six months before I can get don back into a broadway theater.

Oh,we ran into this agency head.

Apparently,he's courting don.

He gave me his card.

Asked me if I wanted to do any modeling.

That's a heck of a line.What did don say?

He basically said the man was trying to sleep with one of us,

and he didn't like the idea of either.

I did do some modeling,you know.

I did not know,but I'm not surprised.

Carlton calls you grace kelly.

Yeah,I was a model when I met don.

A model in manhattan?

Yes.

It was exciting.

But when I got started,the summer after college in italy.

Italy?

There was this italian designer.

Giovanni.

He wanted to be called johnny.

That's how much he loved americans.

Well,he loved american girls .

It was more of an artist/muse relationship.

Okay.

So,he made you all this and it was platonic?

No petting?Nothing?

Mama mia.

Then put my hair up like this.

And salvatore said he had the menkens' artwork,

but to meet him in the art department because you're' going to need a red pencil.

Any other good news?

I think the mail boy dropped that off for you last night.

peggy,can you get me an outside line?

right away.

Don draper.

Now,why would you call me out of the blue?

I appreciate the gesture.

Let me tell you,you're a hard man to run into.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything.

The next step is a quiet rendezvous.

The algonquin?

There's a small hotel.Isn't that the song?

I don't know.

I'm not ready to wave the flag just yet.

What about the details?

I'd rather do this face to face.

But you already know what you're gonna say.

I don't have to tell you the obvious limitations of sterling-cooper.

But you're going to.

Do I need to be careful here?It's a mom and pop.

Mccann-erickson is an international company.

We have a network that extends far beyond madison avenue.

Europe,south america.

We're publicly traded.We issue dividends.

Small is bad.

Don,do you know the kind of clients we attract?

Pan am,coca-cola,esso.

Can you imagine the lifestyle that goes with handling pan am?

It's a panty dropper.

Television?

Oh,you could be in that in a bigger way.You know that.

But you want to sell corn,we do a show about indians.

Imagine yourself in a three year contract,35 per antum,security set in stone.

Sterling probably hasn't let you break 30 yet.

No comment.

I really don't like doing this over the phone.

All I can say is eventually you come up here or you die wondering.

he gave me his card right in front of don.

Well,not right in front of him,I guess.

Well,I told don about it.

I was a model,you know?

In fact,I met don on a photo shoot.

I was wearing this russian blue fox coat.

He was just a copywriter at the fur company.

I remember he saw that I didn't like giving the coat back.

That's always the hardest part.

He asked me out.

He wasn't shy.I liked that.

I said no.

Then,three weeks later the coat arrived at my apartment.

Who knows what kind of indian trading he had to do to get it.

I think I only had two more jobs,maybe three,before we got engaged.

And then I got pregnant.

It's always a nightmare raising children in manhattan,so wmoved to ossining.

Suddenly,I really felt so old.

Tell me more about that.

My mother was very concerned about looks and weight.

And I've always eaten a lot.

And I like hot dogs.

My mother used to say,you're going to get stout.

And then I became a model,and she hated it.

Even though sue parker made $100,000 that year,my mother hated it.

Manhattan.

She called me a prostitute.

You're angry at your mother.

What?

Are you going to talk now?

You are angry at your mother.

Of all the things I've said in here!

You're sitting up.

You don't listen to me.

You don't listen to what I say,and then out of nowhere you provoke me.

Tell me more about that.

I miss her.

I understand that.

It's good and bad.

She wanted me to be beautiful so I could find a man.

There's nothing wrong with that.
