Mad Men

I want to stop doing this.

Previously on Mad Men...

It's been my privilege to be treated like a protégé,

and for you to be my mentor.

We're going to lose Jaguar unless

an arrangement is made...

Tell them I want a partnership.

My wife's a big TV star.

Break a leg.

Beans came in today.

And he says he's gonna kill the account and himself

if they even talk to ketchup again.

I want you to find out everything you can on Heinz ketchup.

So you haven't officially told anyone

you're looking to change your life?

Yes.

Why put Doyle Dane into hysterics

when all I want to do is have what NASA calls

an "exploratory mission" with your agency?

Still, Timmy, Don has some anxiety about--

well, obviously about Raymond.

Heinz Baked Beans has given us

national recognition and Raymond's a friend.

I'm not used to telling people what my account is worth.

Not just in billings,

but in the prestige that comes with ketchup.

Don knows that or he wouldn't be here.

He's not that polite.

Just relax.

If you do the work and I like it,

I guarantee that Raymond will fall in line.

I have that power.

And if you don't like our work?

Raymond never has to know.

I don't know if that solves my problem.

Look, I understand your risk.

Or we could have met in your office again.

In fact, we can have the presentation here, too.

No, we'll get a hotel.

I am supposed to be meeting someone in about 20 minutes

and she likes me to wait for her.

Well, take your time.

And remember,

I don't need much of an excuse to come to Manhattan.

When I say a small team, I mean Stan.

Just the three of us.

We bill it under Project K.

Nice place.

Well, it's available to you.

You know, if you ever have to spend the night in the city.

I live here, Pete.

It's been 7:00 for 20 minutes.

I'm starving.

I'm sorry I'm late, but I have a job.

You know what, Dawn? You have another job,

which is being my maid of honor.

Well, I can't lose that one, can I?

Well, I have some bad news.

Al called me

and he said both the caterer and your date fell through.

William? What happened?

Al doesn't think he's ready to settle down.

And he didn't want you to spend the night defending yourself.

You tell Al to keep looking

because I'm never gonna meet someone at that office.

Al and I met at church.

Church is impossible.

You can't stand out in that crowd of harlots.

You stand out.

You must run into somebody downtown.

I get on the train and it's just us...

and then it gets thinner and thinner until about 72nd.

Sometimes it's just me and this old shoeshine--

and he won't even look at me.

Bea Carter says her son Anthony ran into you.

But that's what you don't understand.

We were walking through the plaza

and we passed each other and we just nodded.

Someone told me he said that,

but he didn't talk to me.

And I didn't talk to him, either.

Well, I'll keep looking.

That might be too much blush.

If you look a little rusty, it's 'cause I'm a little rusty.

I need all the help I can get.

The makeup's not the important part.

Mary Kay always says it's really about making yourself feel better,

and that starts with doing something for you.

Well, that'll be a first.

- Kate! - Shh, I just put the baby down.

- You have not changed. - Well, you have.

How did you suddenly get younger than me?

Because she's in the beauty business.

What do you think?

- How much did she spend? - It's free.

This is my old stuff. I'm a sales director now.

- How are your boys? - Good.

- Did you see Kevin? - She looked in.

Why don't we let him sleep while we eat dinner?

I made a pork roast.

And I made reservations at Le Cirque for two.

Well, I want to catch up. And, more importantly,

Kate has a job interview tomorrow and I don't want her tying one on.

- Who are you meeting with? - The competition.

Can we take a raincheck?

Splendid.

She hasn't changed.

Why are you getting on the elevator going up?

Because the door opened and you were standing there.

I pressed down.

Where have you been?

I missed you.

Working all the time. Don't tell anyone.

Like who?

Arnie's on call Thursday or Friday.

I'll leave a penny under the mat when he's flown the coop.

I have to go.

Can you be more specific?

- ( doors open ) - Nope.

Good night.

Dennis must be doing well.

- That's from the company. - My goodness.

What do you have to do to get this?

Just have a lot of my recruits sell a lot of Mary Kay.

How much? Those are diamonds.

Just has to be the most.

They know what they're doing.

I know. They do.

But there's no way for me to move up there.

So is that why you're going to Avon?

There's women above me at Mary Kay,

It's just working out of Spokane,

there's only so far I can go.

Well, Joanie's a partner and I don't know if anyone

would want all that extra responsibility.

You should visit more often.

Turns out someone's proud of me.

- I'm a monster. - ( laughs )

Believe it or not, "My daughter is a partner

at a Madison Avenue advertising firm"

is something I enjoy saying.

It does sound pretty good.

Well, so much for keeping my wits about me.

I should be getting back to the Waldorf.

Well, I wish you the best of luck tomorrow.

But if worse come to worse,

you're appreciated somewhere.

What are the "Life" magazine closing dates for Birds Eye?

Ken, it's Monday.

I got a perfect cup of coffee and a Danish on the way.

You want to start with "Good morning? How was your weekend?"

I spent it with my in-laws listening to Ed complain

about how much the world hates Dow Chemical.

And I know that every gripe he has is directed at me and this company.

Is it possible that this has turned Ken Cosgrove into a neurotic?

If he wants people to stop hating him,

he should stop dropping napalm on children.

I know you just came here to complain,

but I actually think that I can help you.

God, that's really true.

I just came in here to complain.

How hard would it be to meet with Ed, just you and me?

If I have a good reason?

I'm sorry, Mr. Cosgrove, but it's the last one.

- Did you find your keys? - I did.

Can you get Pierre Cossette on the line?

I have an idea. Let's see what happens.

Harry has great ideas.

I saw this thing on a spy show.

It's a clock with a tiny camera in it.

All we have to do is get it in there.

If you can get in, you don't need a clock.

I would guess it's a military account.

And I would guess they picked Stan

because he has no conscience.

So Project K stands for what?

Project Kill Machine!

That's not what it stands for.

So what does it stand for, Bobby?

I don't know what it is.

Are you saying that because you do know what it is?

No.

- Stan come through? - Stan who?

I know one thing-- he's not in a room with tinfoil on the windows.

How are things, Don?

There's nothing in here.

'Cause you're gonna fill it with work.

- If you don't fall asleep. - Mmm.

I'm telling you, it clears the cobwebs.

( "Friends I Haven't Met Yet" playing )

I think a hot dog and a hamburger are too similar.

Plus, a hot dog cries out for mustard.

No, I think a hot dog cries out for ketchup.

A squiggly line.

Hmm.

I think we should order lunch.

Mmm.

My goodness. Someone's having a party and didn't invite us.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Is Clara's birthday today?
