Mad Men 3x2

Love Among the Ruins

Season 3, Episode 2

& Betty: Where are you living?
    Rebecca Pryce: We have a finished flat in sutt place. Three bedrooms, spectacular view of the river. And we're near the U.N., so there's plenty of africans.
    Pryce: Like the Bordeaux grape, may we all get better with time.


& Edgar Raffit (Madison Square Gardens): Why do you people insist on making us sound like villains?
    Draper: Your concern over public opinion shows a guilty conscience. Now what good is that serving you if what is to be done is already under way?
    Raffit: So let's say I don't have a guilty conscience.
    Draper: Good. And let's also say that change is neither good or bad, it simply is. It can be greeted with terror or joy... A tantrum that says "I want it the way it was" or a dance that says "Look. It's something new."
    Raffit: Would you draw the line at 50%?
    Draper: I'm not drawing a line at all. P.R. people understand this, but they can never execute it. If you don't like what is being said, change the conversation.

Bye Bye Birdie by Ann-Margret:

& Peggy: We have a few versions of a song, and the boys are very excited about finding this girl.
    Draper: I'm sure.
    Peggy: Don't you find her voice shrill? Just throw yourself at the camera.
    Draper: It's pure. It makes your heart hurt.
    Peggy: No one seems to care that it speaks to men, not the people that drink diet drinks.
    Draper: What do the geniuses at Patio want?
    Peggy: Maybe we should be talking about how this is better than coffee or dexedrine.
    Draper: It's not about making women feel fat. This is "Look how happy I am that I drink Patio. I'm young, excited and desperate for a man."
    Peggy: I don't mind fantasies, but shouldn't it be a female one?
    Draper: Peggy, I know you understand how this works. Men want her. Women want to be her.
    Peggy: Even if that's true...
    Draper: It is. I'm sorry if that makes you uncomfortable.
    Peggy: Well, you know if we were making a movie or a play, we'd be embarrassed to do this. It's phony*.
    Draper: You're not an artist, Peggy. You solve problems. Leave some tools in your toolbox.


& Roger: Let me ask you something. You're a young girl.
    Peggy: Excuse me?
    Roger: You're the only one around here who doesn't have that stupid look on her face.
    Peggy: What does that mean?
    Roger: What would your father have to do for you to not want him at your wedding?
    Peggy: My father passed away.
    Roger: Here you go. You do anything.
