• Roger Sterling : I've been in the war room, Don, preparing for the American Cancer dinner. Caroline went to the library and got me pictures of these guys. I'm 50 dollars away from a seating chart.

  Don Draper : Look, I don't take this honor lightly.

  Roger Sterling : Good, say something like that. Titans of industry are giving you an award. We are being lowered in a bucket into a goldmine. I'm gonna bring my pick and crack something off the wall.

• Megan Draper : Why do you think my mother is so competitive?

  Don Draper : I didn't see that.

  Megan Draper : Didn't you notice she touched you six times in an hour?

  Don Draper : She's French.

  Megan Draper : No, that's not what that is.

• Ed Baxter : I've been telling Ken you should get out of your business altogether.

  Don Draper : Why is that?

  Ed Baxter : I'd introduce you to him, but I don't want to waste your time. He's on the board.

  Don Draper : He obviously likes my work.

  Ed Baxter : He loves your work. They all do. But they don't like you.

  Don Draper : What?

  Ed Baxter : This crowd, they'll bury your desk in awards, but they'll never work with you. Not after that letter. I mean how can they trust you after the way you bit the hand?
