Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency

Season 3, Episode 6

& Hooker: And Mr. Kinsey, you might want to shave your beard.
    Kinsey: What?! Who the hell are you people?!
    Hooker: ... That was a joke.


& Cooper: There's no need for panic. Just think of this as the same as any major client visit.
    Roger: They're flying across the ocean to have their knobs polished?
    Don: 4th of July. Subtle*.
    Cooper: Get the door, will you?
    Roger: The British are coming.


& Cooper: I have a theory. I believe they're coming to see you.
    Don: Why?
    Cooper: They've shown a great deal of interest in you. They study and dissect your work, trying to decipher what is your particular American genius.
Roger: What do you think it is? The presidency*?
    Cooper: No, I think it'll be a creative umbrella with a dual position: here and London.
    Roger: Bye-bye, Don.


& Betty: What are you doing?
    Bobby: I'm bored.
    Betty: Go bang your head against a wall. Only boring people are bored.

& Crane: What the hell just happened?
    Pete: They reorganized us. And you're the only one in this room who got a promotion.
    Crane: Really?
    Roger: Yes, really.
    Cooper: [Don, ] I apologize for my wild imagination.


& What is it?
    Sally: It's a Barbie.


& Hilton's secretary: Mr. Draper, this is Miss Wakeman. Mr. Hilton has expressed a desire to meet with you.
    Don: May I ask what this is regarding?
    Wakeman: I just set his schedule. When are you available?
    Don: ... How about right now?
    Wakeman: "Right now." Please hold. ... How far are you from the 'Waldorf Astoria'?
    Don: 15 minutes.
    Wakeman: It's the presidential suite.
    Don: I'm on my way.




& Roger: I wasn't even on the chart. My name's on the wall out there. ... I like to think, "I'm rich. They can't hurt me."
    Cooper: That's a mistake.
    Roger: I'm being punished for making my job look easy. Although... That kid guy, he has a spark*.
    Cooper: He is a pure account man. And what is that job all about?
    Roger: I don't know. It's about listening to people And never saying what's really on your mind.
    Cooper: No. It's about letting things go. So you can get what you want. ... We took their money. We have to do what they say.


& Peggy: I don't want you to think I never listen to you. It's just... We can't all be you.
    Joan: Be that as it may, and I do take some credit for your success here.


& Don: I'm Donald Draper.
    Hilton: We've met before.
    Don: We have, haven't we?
    Hilton: Yellow Rock country club. We had a drink. You fixed it for me. Let me return the favor.
    Don: I can't believe you're Conrad Hilton.
    Hilton: Connie.
    Don: Don.
{ What a surprise! }


& Don: What can I do for you?
    Hilton: What do you think?
    Don: I think you wouldn't be in the presidential suite right now if you worked for free.
    Hilton: Don, this is friendly.
    Don: Connie, this is my profession. What do you want me to do?
    Hilton: I want you to give me one for free.
    Don: .......... I don't think anybody wants to think about a mouse in a hotel.
    Hilton: Well... that was my idea.


& Hilton: What do you want?
    Don: I'm not gonna lie... I'd love a chance at your business.
    Hilton: Okay... But the next time somebody like me asks you a question like that, you need to think bigger.
    Don: Well, Connie... There are snakes that go months without eating. And then they finally catch something. But they're so hungry that they suffocate* while they're eating. One opportunity at a time.
