Mad Men

Roger seeks to expand his affair with Megan's mother. Pete has a "last" encounter with Beth with lasting repercussions. Megan struggles to find acting work and asks for Don's help getting an audition. Peggy still seeks Don's approval.

You didn't want his office either.

I hate to quote you directly,

Because we never had to do it for them before.

I'll be there at noon under the name Mrs. Campbell.

Does your boyfriend light your cigarettes?

Harry Crane.

but I've been very blue

Listen.

All I want is an audition. I'd ask you who I have to sleep with,

Don't tell me you're not happy right now.

and I suddenly feel this door open, and I want to walk through it.

I really should go.

I wanna work.

It's your father. I think he's drunk.

I'm gonna take a bath before dinner.

I got this this morning.

How much did he put in for collateral after Lucky Strike left?

and you declining our offer to have a memorial,

- How much is it? - $50,000.

Be so sure you were going

It's the only thing I'm good for.

She's married to you. That's your job.

You almost had a nasty abscess.

he needed adventure, he needed to feel handsome again.

was some temporary bandage

You're kind of new at that job to be avoiding the office.

I'm going on a plane.

You work for us, so why don't you go down there and apologize to him?

I can't live like this--

Lane's shameful secret comes to the surface with dire consequences. Don recaptures his hunger for success, and Sally experiences a major milestone.

- All partners present? - Aye.

It's not hypothetical. Dunlop called last night. They'd like to meet.

Tonight's Wild Wild West.

because she lets you do whatever you want?

- What? - I took it upon myself to evaluate the fee issue.

I owe taxes on my portfolio.

I apologize deeply for involving you.

I'll cover the money that you owe.

Think about an elegant exit.

I suppose you'd rather I imagined you

when we can't even give Christmas bonuses.

- It doesn't mean it's not true. - Jesus, Don.

I see.

Some kind of partnership, assuming it works out?

- I love when you surprise me. - I forgot about it.

It's all just gossip at a certain point.

I know your work is unpleasant sometimes,

I hope you're not cross.

Well, finish up and then we'll go for a drive.

- Since when? - A while.

I've gotta sneak off campus, which is serious.

Don't. You can't make it happen.

I'm not sure that's the way I like you.

An hour and 45 minutes.

And nobody's gonna wanna be in the cigarette business.

We had a year where we sold 81% of the raincoats

You're happy with your agency? You're not happy with anything.

Is Henry out there?

Please tell him to call me the minute he gets back.

I didn't do anything. I just want my bag.

She wasn't feeling well.

- I'm so embarrassed. - Don't be.

Come on, I'm taking you home.

What are you doing home?

Pete asks Joan to make a personal and moral sacrifice to ensure the company lands the Jaguar account. Don becomes furious after learning of the impact Megan's new profession will have on their life. Feeling unappreciated, Peggy attends lunch with Freddy Rumsen, who encourages her to make a move.

So you like redheads? I think I know some.

So we're saying it's your gorgeous mistress.

Well, we were having dinner with Herb Rennet.

He said he was crazy about you and then he just asked.

You're talking about prostitution.

I have Mr. Rick Swanson from Chevalier Blanc Cologne on speaker.

What if it's our leather jacket hero

Close the door, please.

She said we couldn't afford it.

I'm not going to stand in the way, but I am not paying for it.

Don't fool yourself. This is some very dirty business.

Good news. Chevalier Blanc wants to do a pool-out.

for the financial health of this company.

Sounds like a joke.

and would do very little to change your future.

And good night to the old lady

What are you hoping I can do for you?

- ( Growling ) - ( Men laughing )

So let's go to bed.

Please, stop.

- If they want me. - Well, forget it.

So no matter what, the first idea has got to be

I've never had more responsibility.

And you'd let him know that you're not some secretary

yet exactly what I expected.

It was her idea.

Well, I was just stepping into the shower,

because it creates a desire,

and my tent is graced with Helen of Troy.

and flipping past the flesh

at last something beautiful you can truly own."

Well, I was just stepping into the shower,

And then they're gonna want to know how much you want to be paid.

no formula.

I bet you were, too.

Good morning, Mr. Draper.

Roger: Hello? Hugh, how are you this morning?

( People cheering )

the day you saw something in me...

My last day will be the third.

Harry finds himself in an uncomfortable position after reconnecting with Paul Kinsey who has joined the Hare Krishnas. Lane takes drastic and unethical measures to get out of financial trouble. Don spends an afternoon with Joan to get her mind off her marital problems.

They're derived from reality, but they're hopes and dreams.

- What is that, nine of us? - No, it's five.

Well, consider it seen. I really should be going.

I called this meeting.

I mean actually this time-- For Jaguar.

Bert.

But Jane's not going to take everything.

♪ Krishna Krishna, hare hare ♪

But when we are

listen, I love what the movement has given me,

And as I vomited, I looked around the living room

but not if they insult me first. - I'm sorry.

And a farm, maybe outside Frisco.

tinged with adventure that draw people to it.

You know, I got there and I started trying to figure out

and tell him he needs to write a better script.

Maybe you and I should go as a couple.

- You're served. - What?

- Come with me. - I'm fine.

She really wants me to take it for a ride.

I know what I'm doing, I have some control,

But no flowers from you.

Take me like this.

I like being bad

So you think it's all him?

Are you okay?

And you know that, even if that was possible, that's not the way.

You wanna get the rolling pin?

I do think more than ever we should pay them a visit at Christmas.

Of course we'll be here by your side.

or anyone over there because of legal reasons.

I'm not giving you this unless you promise

- What's going on? - Mohawk's on strike.

Lane, go ahead.

Don attempts to regain his creative spark, but undermines a member of his staff while doing so. Roger pursues some new clients, and in the process, hurts Jane. Betty displays her pettiness when she reveals a distressing secret to Sally.

We're still suffering for it.

Bert, how do you not know I'm getting a divorce?

What do you think you're doing, pal?

This is quite an apartment.

Now, if it's for the customers, the kids,

They're sinfully delicious.

Only there's four guys

I don't know, but everybody laughed.

- It's good to know. - Thank you.

Oh, stop it. You're here. You came.

But the way he looks at Vicky-- I know what that means.

What do you want me to say?

I like the connect the dots. What's it end up being?

but it has to be cheap, surprise, but impactful.

What time is it?

which is taking some extremely important clients to dinner

I don't know, I feel like one of us should say thank you.

No, your father had another wife before me.

It's a mess in there.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I told you I don't want anything.

I don't know what your mother told you,

Good.

So who has a plan for how they're gonna handle the day?

If you call her, you're giving her exactly what she wanted--

Maybe that's the problem.

- Are you done? - No.

We've got Bob Dennison, who speaks for the local bottlers.

She just told me the same stuff you did.

the closeness, the way your people keep track of each other.

As I understand it, you're trying to get Manischewitz

I just had some.

I'm not moved in. I just got the key.

But I guess the grass is always greener, right?

Megan leaves SCDP to pursue her acting career; Pete has a fling with his train buddy's wife and then obsesses over her; Don tries to understand the music of the day.

Then we're inside and we're in color,

We'll do our best.

- Are you asking if I ski? - No.

Peter Campbell.

"We."

Goodbye, Peggy.

surrounded by darkness?

But I didn't get it, so that's it; it's done.

You know there are people killing to get this job.

You know, your banter.

and you just want me to have some so you can have some.

on the train twice a day and that you live 20 minutes away

- Did you get it? - What?

Okay. So what do you want to do?

Since I was a little girl, it's all I ever dreamed about.

I mean, she's not disappearing, is she?

Go ahead.

but Don told me that I was just supposed to hand it over.

Heinz baked beans.

- Of course. - Do they make you feel small and insignificant?

Help yourself.

We're due at the test kitchen tomorrow.

Well, our baby's been sick.

Did you know that he met Betty Draper doing a print ad?

It's okay.

Well, I can't imagine it tasting any better than that.

I am so thirsty.

I suggested that path on our honeymoon.

Don is honored at a banquet; Megan saves the day with Heinz; Roger asks Mona for help and begins an affair with Megan's mother. Peggy expects a proposal from Abe but instead moves in with him.

I'll bite.

and tell me about these powerful men that I could meet?

I thought you married Jane because I had gotten old.

That was her very favorite.

Too much Chinese and we'll have to go up a cup size.

Do you have a minute?

and then the future, like a colony

"Kids want beans and they have forever."

She couldn't have been struck by lightning a week ago?

Men don't take the time to end things.

and the kid took his off and put it on the table?

I'm gonna bring my pick and crack something off the wall.

but they're not. Their mind's elsewhere.

I guess I can get somebody's attention.

waking up in the same place every day.

We're getting fired.

Megan, her mother and my 12-year-old Sally.

Then Marie Antoinette to a little prince.

"Heinz beans,

Should we change that sauternes to champagne?

We're moving in together.

It is what it is.

- Oh, you heard. - Yeah.

You're right.

Well, he's got a lot wrapped up in that book.

Hello, peaches.

But does anyone know how to tie this thing?

Or you can stay home.

No, don't thank me. I had to recuse myself.

- So I manage those accounts. - I don't understand.

but it's important to me that you understand

I invited you here as an adult

You're lonely, get a cat.

Inside you is a little boy.

Don abandons Megan at an upstate Howard Johnson's; Peggy fights with Abe and then Heinz; Roger and Jane try LSD but then break up.

- Megan, can I have a moment? - Oh, uh, sure.

I'm really sorry.

Maybe Don doesn't understand what you wanted either.

but they're not through.

Sure. What the hell.

Okay.

I don't think so.

We're just displaced.

What happened?

- I love Howard Johnson's. - We'll try and stop by.

Even if the truth is what you would call relative,

I say we postpone this conversation until after we turn on.

I think we are going to go.

Just let it melt on your tongue.

I feel like that when Roger goes to work.

- Why didn't you tell me that? - I did.

You're crying.

Why are you laughing?

Do you feel as relieved as I do?

I did.

It was, wasn't it?

You said so many amazing things.

I don't know.

in Howard Johnson's so I can get some sleep.

I'll check in with Peggy later.

That's true. It's a long car drive.

I don't like it.

Some kid had an accident.

No. Huh.

No, no, of course not.

The Campbells host a dinner party; Pete tries to make time with a teenage girl; Lane tries to snare Jaguar but ends up coming to blows with Pete.

One: They're your friends, and recent ones at that.

♪ long live our noble queen ♪

they don't seem to be concerned with manners, do they?

they're looking for a new agency

on matters both business and personal.

So, I want you to call your new best friend Trudy Campbell

I'd love a shred of privacy. Just a shred.

No, I mean what's your pen name?

Request for proposal. Jaguar. Blah, blah.

- You get another. - Very good.

Feed him your own personal morsel.

It's going to happen.

I'm not getting married until after college...

And this year, look, it's already August.

Why don't you wear the sport coat I got you?

It's seven feet long.

I'm not gonna pretend it's not a big deal to us that you came out.

Oh, well,

Well, it's more civilized than that.

- Honey, they don't want to talk about that. - Why not?

But it's just a story.

And I saw what Don and Peggy did

Grab Don's shirt. I'll throw it in the dryer.

Hey, Heathcliff. How was your date?

You wouldn't want to hit a golf ball off the tee

So I got to be some kind of weirdo that I don't remember you.

Oh, fun.

Now give me one attraction that isn't in this room right in front of me.

You any good at this or not?

Are you interested in someone who's already busy?

Now I need you to take me to Cos Cob.

Well, my wife likes fur, but you don't see me growing a tail.

I'm late for the partners' meeting.

called my wife with gory details.

Mr. Campbell,

- You all right? - I'm fine. I'm fine.

If they've tried to make you feel

I just seem to find no end to my humiliation today.

Don has a murderous dream about a woman from the past; Roger pays Peggy to bail him out with the Mohawk campaign; Greg's military assignment threatens his marriage to Joan.

- The rest just waited. - They were tied up.

Some girl trussed up like a cut of meat?

but he's going to want you right away.

You're right.

And you know what else?

He says a bunch of nice stuff about Ginsberg and you.

Do you like this?

I'm so ashamed.

And now you're not.

I know your mother has other rules.

What are the three of you up to?

Thank you.

It's more complicated. It's war.

Maybe get a French girl.

She can hear him behind her,

That's because you thought they wouldn't like it,

climb into bed?

- That's good news. - Yes, it is.

I just did. He's not home.

You have to remember that.

I don't want to do any of this. I'll see you Monday.

Jesus!

Are you okay?

No, as much as I'd love to go, I can't make any plans

Sally, I just think someone in your world needs to discipline you

not to mention this place costs a fortune.

The scampi looks very good.

You're a father now.

Well, I know that doesn't make it safer.

You have to.

for focus groups to try things

I know we're not really in the same situation,

I'm scared.

because he was probably just watching them from afar.

If this was World War II and the Japs were still attacking us,

I hope you don't mind the couch.

Don't argue with me.

Betty has a health scare; SCDP gets Mohawk Airlines' business back; Peggy interviews Michael Ginsberg, a brash young copywriter.

- Well... - At work.

Or something like that. I don't know.

They haven't informed their agency,

Lane, smile. We've got an airline.

The manager sounded greedy. I thought we'd take one car.

Aren't you sweet to come all the way over here

There are pills you can take.

We've got great news,

- Mrs. Francis. - Hello.

Mrs. Francis, when a housewife has a rapid weight gain,

Say what you always say.

Stick to mediocre. You'll sleep better.

You want some Brandy?

I'm gonna be in radiology forever.

Nope, it's just me.

I figured we got to be related somehow.

I don't know.

It wasn't until the third visit that I knew.

and hope you go straight down.

We're done. Thank you.

Turns out, everybody's got one now.

If Betty calls or, you know, the kids,

or wait for them to come out of there.

He's a very good-looking man.

Do you have a business card

to have a good time just 'cause you never did.

There were 20.

What are we gonna tell Raymond?

Well, you'll have plenty of time to tell me.

Well, it affects me.

- Shouldn't we wait for Roger? - For what?

I'll be honest.

Get him set up and let him haggle with Lane.

I feel like I've been given a gift.

They're waiting on tests.

Well, that's great news.

Megan's surprise party for Don backfires on her; Joan adjusts to life as a mother; Roger and Pete butt heads; Lane dreams of the woman who owns a wallet he had found; SCDP takes a jab at a rival agency caught pulling a racist prank.

She's getting back to herself.

I see a lot of napping and pillow talk.

Clara.

I'm supposed to have drinks with Bruce Lewis from oldsmobile.

I'm sorry. Am I interrupting?

with the can of beans where Washington goes.

and everyone he's fired.

I just--

- They're a thirsty lot. - Always a pleasure.

It puts beans on their mind.

They have the hot plate. They're sitting in.

Damn it. Clara.

and Elvis plays at Tammy's Sweet 16.

No.

It wasn't up to me. Can't you tell?

Hear, hear!

I know why you're upset.

High tides and heavy surf

Then why would they attach such a threatening letter to a bill?

He brought the cookies.

- A marvelous fete. - Oh, yes.

Listen, I really should return this--

and walked away.

No, of course you don't. Why would you?

Could you just help me with the door?

Just stopping by.

And you couldn't resist saying something obnoxious?

Well, what the hell was it, then?

but my husband's been gone so long.

Ah!

The only reason I'm bringing it up

Just hold on a second.

Where's the girl?

Where's Harry?

You're not.
