Best line in last night's episode was nonverbal... it was the look of panic on Peter's face when he saw Peggy and Trudy come out of the bathroom at the same time.

Don: 'Peggy, i'm glad that this is an environment where you feel free to fail.'

Peggy: 'Should it be funny?'
Don: 'Actually funny, maybe, funny like what i just saw, no.'

Roger calling Don about AA Freddie's friend.

'This man Rutlage, killed a man, with a motor boat!
You know what gets you over something like that?
Drinking!!'

When Peggy complains about not being thanked for her ideas:
"That's what the money is for....
You should be thanking me every morning when you wake up, along with Jesus, for giving you another day"-Don Draper

"Would you like me to buy him or her a gift?"

"Shut up, you're drunk."

"You sure smell good,  what do you say, we both get
out of here and do some real celibrating !"*

*DD at the bar after the Cleos.

Peggy, while watching the "boys" shake down the vending machine:

"I feel like Margaret Mead."

"Get Ray Charles in here to [do something]."

I'll tell you a line I didn't like.  When Don is writing in his journal about Bethany and all the girls "touching themselves to sleep" at the Barbizon and also "she wants me to get to know her but I already know her."  That seemed a bit condescending.

@ Becky:

Ha, yeah I liked the Ray Charles line too! Thanks for the reminder Becky, it was a good one.

I felt a little uncomfortable with the girls "touching themselves to sleep" line, too. I'm not sure if it was condescending exactly, but initially it seemed a bit presumptuous, as if all the Barbizon girls were cut from the same desperate cloth. However, Don may have simply been commenting on the notion that these girls portray themselves as "good girls" (even while giving bj's in the backs of taxicabs!), but still have very real and unfulfilled desires. It may even be considered "forward thinking" on his part!

I did not find the "I already know her" line to be condescending, although I understand why you may see it this way. We can all admit that there are people we have met in our lifetimes whose "types" we feel we "already know". Kind of a "been there, done that" sort of thing. I actually think it's quite good progress that Don recognized this about Bethany. I don't think he is really putting her down. I think he is admitting that she's simply not what he wants, or needs. I think he was only stating that she's not the one for him, which is why (apart from, well, being a man) he didn't turn down that free bj!

I also took the "I already know her" line to mean that Bethany was "Betty" twelve or so years ago. He's finally done with that and he's looking for something else. Almost all of his dalliances have been with women that stimulated his mind, something shallow Betty never could do. Though I don't care for her personally, the Doc seems to fit this bill for him now.

"When did we get a vending machine?" made me laugh out loud, though i'm not sure why

"I would ask my secretary to do it, but she's dead."

Is it broken?

The lamp?

Loved it when Joan says to go get the afghan out of Mr. Crane's office (to cover Ms. Blankenship's body) and then a few moments later, in the background of the scene in the board room with the potential new clients...you see/hear Crane exclaim: "My mother made that!" when they drape it over her dead body...

brilliant!

I was also reminded of my own childhood with this one

"Dad, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, I'm still mad at you."

LOL

"The world is made up of sadists and masochists. You know which one you are." -Mrs. Blankenship

"I was just giving her a hard time. Can I do the same for you?" -Roger to Joan

"Vietnam? That's not good." -Roger

Betty-"Say 'good-bye' to your father."
Sally-"Good-bye."   
That sounded so "final"; it broke my heart when she said it.

Everything's life or death, all or nothing, when you're a child.  The little things seem huge.

One more!

"She died the way she lived - surrounded by the people she answered phones for."  Typical Roger observation.

I'm paraphrasing, but:

Megan: Everything's going to be alright.
Sally: No, it's not.

The whole incident in the office with Sally was heartbreaking. This line of Sally's, however, had a kind of foreboding tone. Not only does it allude to what Sally's own future may hold, but also to the upheaval that the rest of the 60's is about to bring.

We've heard this line, "everything's going to be alright" a few times before in the series. Sally is the first to say that no, it's not going to be alright.

From the mouths of babes...

Bert Cooper: "She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. She's an astronaut."

Lane speaking with his wife

I have been here six months and not one person has asked me which school I went to

'Should we call an ambulance?'(Peggy said)

'No, the coroner.'- Joan,replied

Everyone seems to have mentioned my favourites so far...

These aren't by main characters and I'm sure I'll remember more.

If I want to see two Negros fight I'll throw a dollar out the window. (when asked if she was watching the boxing match)


and of course... did ya get pears?

video of it below.

Good to see that this forum exists!

What perfect casting,  he's exactly,

This is my all time favorite:

"Look, I want to tell you something because you're very dear to me, and I hope you understand it comes from the bottom of my damaged, damaged heart: you are the finest piece of ass I ever had, and I don't care who knows it. I am so glad I got to roam those hillsides."

-Roger Sterling

Another one I like is this exchange between Pete and Peggy - really creepy stuff:

Pete Campbell: You ever been hunting, Peggy?

Peggy Olsen: No, I don’t think so.

Pete Campbell: You either have or you haven’t. I went a couple of times. With my uncle. New Hampshire.

Peggy Olsen: I saw my cousin shoot a rabbit by Coney Island.

Pete Campbell: It’s an incredible sensation. You have to be very quiet. Take it down with the first shot or you scare it away. Then sometimes you have to go up and finish it off. Then you tie it to the bumper and go home. But do you know what I’ve always wanted to do? I would pick it up, throw its back legs over my shoulder, and I would drag it through the snow to this little cabin. And there, I’d hang it up between a couple of trees, cut it open, and drain it, dress it. Then I’d take my big hunting knife and I’d cut this loin right out the side. And I’d go into the cabin and there’d be this woman waiting for me. Standing by one of those old stoves with a big black pipe. And I’d hand it to her and she’d put it in a cast iron skillet and then I’d sit at the table. And she’d bring it to me. And I’d wipe my knife on my knee. And then I would eat it. While she watches.

Peggy Olsen: That would be wonderful.

"We have dog food experience"

Draper.

How do they keep a straight face sometimes ?
I hope that Weiner produces a comedic outtake
reel,  with the cast breaking up.

Megan;  "How was the Funeral ?"

Don;  "We'll see."

See above.

"Have your girl make the reservations".... YAY FAYE! Stake your claim!

Roger throws back a stiff belt and bellows "Well, I gotta go learn a bunch of people's names before I fire them".

"At least now we can say, 'This is what killed us.'"
--Roger

"it's nice to finally not be the reason we went under" - also Roger.   (I may have the wording wrong)

"I didn't THINK they'd start with HIM."

On Coopers apparent departure.

;0)

Trudy: "I FORBID you to use any of our money for a stateroom on the Titanic! And don't even think of asking my father!"

Pete: "Uh...I...You can't 'forbid' me to do anything!"

"It's like drinking a hundered bottles of whiskey,
while someone licks your tits."

Midge on heroin addiction

Joan: "And as Lane mentioned, we'll try to hold on to any staplers, scissors, hole punchers and tape dispensers."
Lane: "They do disappear, you know."

Bert: "Mr. Crane! OUT!"
Harry is the Rodney Dangerfield of the office. He gets no respect.

Heinz guy: "There's a time for beans and a time for ketchup."
To everything, turn, turn, turn...

Max, you beat me to that line.  Seems like only someone with experience could have written that.

Joannie had my favorite lines in this episode.  First, was to Peggy after they heard Don's news. "Whatever could be on your mind?"

Second, to hubby "Yes, they're bigger."

I don't remember the exact line, but it was Megan quoting her college roommate, who said, "You could never be an actress because of your teeth."
I was thinking the very same thing. Sheesh! Who does she know, or what did she do, to get on that show?

She's stunningly beautiful otherwise, and the teeth only make her a more interesting character.
