Some favorite Mad Men Quotations...
Season 5
Roger: You gonna
tell me what you're gonna talk about, or is my look of surprise part of the
sales pitch?
Don: I already
said no, or should I leave so you all can do whatever you want?
Michael: I feel
bad for you.
Don: I don't think
about you at all.
Roger: Who knows
why people in history did good things? For all we know Jesus was trying to get
the loaves and fishes account.
Bert: You've been
on love leave. It's amazing things are going as well as they are with as little
as you are doing.
Don: Mohawk is
going to insist on a regular copywriter.
Roger: Someone
with a penis.
Peggy: I'll work
on that.
Peggy: Lane beat
the crap out of Pete.
Ken: I can't
believe he beat me to it.
Roger: I know
cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one who wants to see this?
Pete: Brave words
from a man on his second time around.
Don: Yeah, and if
I had met her first I would've known not to throw it away.
Lane: England won
the World Cup.
Roger: Cup of
what?
Don: I married
you, and I'm gonna be with you until I die...which could be this afternoon.
Pete: Where am I
supposed to conduct business?
Roger: In the
crapper for all I care.
Roger: Why don't
you sing like that?
Jane: Why don't
you look like him?
Season 4
Faye [to Don]: I
hope she knows you only like the beginnings of things.
Peggy: I signed
the first new business since Lucky Strike left...but it's not as important as
getting married.
Don: Miss Calvet
and I are getting married.
Roger: Who the
hell's that?
Pete [to Don]: You
did what was best for you because you're impatient and childish. You had a
tantrum on a full page in the New York Times.
Don: I slept last
night for the first time in a month.
Roger: You slept?
Really? You weren't smiling over the taste of s**t that would be in everybody's
mouth over breakfast today?
Pete: I'll lose my
partnership.
Trudy: You'll lose
your state room on the Titanic?
Heinz Guy: I'm
sorry to be so blunt, but I don't know if your company will be here in six
months.
Don: I do.
Roger: It's good
not to be the reason this place went down anymore.
Roger: Well, I
gotta go learn a bunch of people's names before I fire them.
Joan (to Roger):
I'm not a solution to your problems. I'm another problem.
Don (to Peggy):
You want some respect? Go out there and get it for yourself.
Don: It's your
job. I give you money. You give me ideas.
Peggy: But you
never thank me.
Don: That's what
the money is for!
Don: I wouldn't be
good company anyway.
Roger: That's
never bothered me before.
Roger: If Lee
Garner Jr. wants three wise men flown in from Jerusalem, he gets it.
Pete: We're the
scrappy upstart.
Don: You don't say
that to the clients do you?
Season 3
Don: If you don’t
like what’s being said, change the conversation.
Roger: Peggy, can
you get me some coffee?
Peggy: No.
Don: I can
explain.
Betty: I know you
can. You're a gifted storyteller.
Don Draper: Now
that I can finally understand you, I am less impressed with what you have to
say.
Ken: New York in
August? It's like a great big hairy armpit museum.
Roger: I watched
the sunrise today. Couldn't sleep.
Don: How was it?
Roger: Average.
Lane: I feel like
I just went to my own funeral. I didn't like the eulogy.
Joan: That's life.
One minute, you're on top of the world. The next, some secretary is running
over your foot with a lawn mower.
Betty:
Only boring people are bored.
Betty: Where's
Don?
Nurse: He's in the
waiting room.
Betty: Bulls**t.
He's never where you expect him to be.
Harry: It doesn't
make any sense. It looks right, sounds right, smells right. But something's not
right. What is it?
Roger: She's not
Ann-Margaret.
Roger: It's a
mistake to be conspicuously happy.
Don: No one thinks
you're happy. They think you're foolish.
Don: Why did you
buy our company?
Price: I don't
know.
Betty: Am I ever
going to sleep again?
Season 2
Pete: Come on.
Don: You wanna be
on vacation Pete? Cause I can make that happen.
Doctor: So, Mr.
Draper, you haven't had a physical in quite some time.
Don Draper: Yeah.
I eat a lot of apples.
Season 1
Joan Holloway: I
said congratulations, didn't I? Although, sometimes when people get what they
want they realize how limited their goals were.
Don Draper:
Nostalgia - it's delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek,
"nostalgia" literally means "the pain from an old wound."
It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device
isn't a spaceship, it's a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards... it
takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called the wheel, it's
called the carousel. It let's us travel the way a child travels - around and
around, and back home again, to a place where we know are loved.
Roger: What else
is there?
Don: I don't know.
Life being lived? I'd like to stop talking about it and get back to it
Don Draper: I hate
to break it to you, but there is no big lie, there is no system, the universe
is indifferent.
Roger Sterling:
(to Don) At some point, we've all parked in the wrong garage.
Pete Campbell: I
have ideas.
Don Draper: I'm
sure you do. Sterling Cooper has more failed artists and intellectuals than the
Third Reich
Roger Sterling: I
bet there were people in the Bible walking around, complaining about "kids
today."
Don Draper: Kids
today, they have no one to look up to. Cuz they're looking up to us.
Rachel Menken:
It's hard to get caught in a lie.
Don Draper: It
wasn't a lie, it was ineptitude with insufficient cover.
Don Draper: What
you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons.
Don: We should get married.
Midge: You think I'd make a good ex-wife?
Don Draper:
Advertising is based on one thing, happiness. And you know what happiness is?
Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard
on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is
okay. You are okay.
