Mad Men 5x7

At the Codfish Ball

& Roger: I did have a, um... Well, I had a life-altering experience... Mona, I took LSD. I went on a trip.

& Mona: So what’s it like?
    Roger: Euphoria and insight and... I don’t know. My whole life, people have been telling me I don’t understand how other people think. And it turns out it’s true.
    Mona: Maybe I should try it...

& Mona: I thought you married Jane because I had gotten old. And then I realized it was because you had.

& Megan: My father won’t care if he finds out you read James Bond.
    Don: You know what? This is a good book. You should read it.

& Peggy: What happened?
    Michael: Boss’s wife had an idea.
    Peggy: Is it any good?
    Stan: It’s better than what we had!
    Peggy: Good for her.

& Joan: Well, it’s been my experience that when a man insists on a meal, he has something important to say... It’s usually a proposal.
    Peggy: Really?!

& Peggy: Someone dumped you?
    Joan: Peggy, I’m just like everybody else.

& Roger: Oh, you two are actually working.

& Don: It doesn’t matter why I wrote it.
    Roger: You’re right. Who knows why people in history did good things? For all we know, Jesus was trying to get the loaves and fishes account.

& Don: Megan’s father is a communist.
    Roger: What?!
    Don: He’s a socialist or a maoist or some ideology plus, you know, I’m sleeping with his daughter.
    Roger: So he’ll see you shaking hands. You know, it’s very interesting, but a lot of times you think people are looking at you, but they’re not. Their mind’s elsewhere.
    Don: Lots of people that haven’t taken LSD already know that, Roger.

& Peggy: This is a home run! I know what you did and it is a big deal. And when it happened to me, they acted like it happens all the time. It doesn’t. I tried to crack that nut. I mean, if anything, I should be jealous. But I look at you and I feel like, I don’t know, I’m getting to experience my first time again. It’s a good day for me. This is as good as this job gets. Savor it.
    Megan: You’re right. I will.

& Emile: Don, there is nothing you can do. No matter what, one day your little girl will spread her legs and fly away. ... What? It’s true.
    Megan: Wings, daddy.

& Emile: What do you do every day?
    Pete: ... Well, what do you do? You’re a scholar and an intellectual, right?
    Emile: Yes.
    Pete: Actually, from what I hear, you’re a bit of a trailblazer. I don’t know if that’s true. I bet the world would be better off if they knew about the work you’re doing.
    Emile: You are very kind.
    Pete: That, Emile, is what I do every day.

& Pauline: This boy, he will use you for practice until he decides to get married and have a family. And he will, believe me.
    Peggy: You want me to be alone?
    Pauline: You know what your aunt used to say? You’re lonely, get a cat. They live 13 years, then you get another one and another one after that. Then you’re done.

& Roger: Well, Marie, I woke up one day and I realized at what point should you ever stop trying?
    Marie: I agree. We should have everything we want.

& Emile: This apartment, this wealth that someone handed to you, this was what Karl Marx was talking about. And it’s not because someone else deserves it, it’s because it is bad for your soul.
    Megan: Don’t beat me with your politics because you hate that I love Don.
    Emile: No, I hate that you gave up. Don’t let your love for this man stop you from doing what you wanted to do.

& Ed: I’d introduce you to him, but I don’t want you to waste your time.
    Don: He’s on the board. He obviously likes my work.
    Ed: He loves your work. They all do. But they don’t like you.
    Don: What?!
    Ed: This crowd, they’ll bury your desk in awards, but they’ll never work with you, not after that letter. I mean, how could they trust you after the way you bit the hand? ... Oh, sorry about that.

& Glen: How’s the city?
    Sally: Dirty.
