I have sand in the weirdest places.
Jones beach? Don't be so sure it's sand.
- ( radio playing ) - hold up.
We got hitchers.
- Made it. - I see that.
Hey.
Hi.
Girls, on the hop.
You gotta get up.
All I want to say is I did not plan this.
Nobody talk. I'm really stoned.
I'm sorry.
You're like a pound or less.
( door closes )
( engine struggling )
I see you went in.
I like the water.
- Can I quote you on that? - ( engine starts )
I'm learning.
- Oh my God. You're a slob. - Shh!
( softly ) we have to be quiet. I have a roommate.
( kissing )
God, I love your shoulders.
You look like you're in the Olympics.
You never stop talking.
It was like the movies. One minute we're listening
To a lecture on rhododendrons,
The next, Patricia is driving
Like a speed racer to the hospital.
And Trudy keeps apologizing in the back seat.
We're saying, "it's okay. Nobody cares.
- You're having a baby!" - ( chuckles )
Meanwhile, Campbell's on the back nine
With his father-in-law, who's also a client.
Well, that's a nice way to end a round.
Ken Cosgrove. Don't get up.
John Flory.
This is my fiancée Cynthia,
Her parents, ed and Lillian Baxter.
- Sorry to interrupt. - It's a pleasure.
- Nice to meet you. - Aren't you lucky?
I'm spending my Sunday night with dodge.
Nice to see you, Ken. And I'm sorry about, you know.
- My condolences. - Oh, David Montgomery?
I was only there for about six months. I didn't really know him.
Oh. Right.
Well, I should be on my way.
- It was nice meeting you all. - Ed: Mmn.
Flory.
Look, you're with your family.
- I shouldn't have said anything. - You didn't.
What's going on?
Lucky strike.
They're coming over to us.
What?
Look, you didn't hear it from me, okay?
( snorts ) you're winding me up.
No. American tobacco came in last Monday,
Said they're moving all the brands to us.
Well, that's not true.
Someone should tell Lee garner Jr. That.
Sorry.
Ed: You okay, son?
Whenever ad men meet, all they ever do is brag and brag.
It's hard not to get rattled.
Ed, Lillian, you'll have to excuse me.
Sweetheart, I swear to you I wouldn't do this
If it wasn't serious.
Ken! What a pleasant surprise!
There's nothing much to celebrate yet.
They were going to send Trudy home, but her mother protested.
I sent her for food just to get rid of her.
Anyway, I suppose your visit is premature.
- I shouldn't use that word around here. - Can I talk to you?
John Flory, some prick over at b.B.D.O.,
Just told me that lucky strike is going there.
What?
- ( phone ringing ) - you made me wait for you
While you worked. ( kissing )
I'm not waiting anymore.
I should get it.
Faye: Of course. The kids.
- Hello? - It's Pete.
Have you heard anything about lucky strike leaving?
- No. - Ken heard from somebody at b.B.D.O
- That Lucky's coming over. - Bullshit. Call Roger.
I did. He's out.
Wake Cooper. Meet me in the office.
- What happened? - I'm not sure.
I have to make a call.
Roger: Hello?
- What's going on? - Pete: Ken here
Heard that lucky strike is leaving.
- That they've already left. - What?
- Who told you what? - John Flory.
He's an account executive at b.B. D.O. That's where they're going.
- No. That's impossible. - Call him.
I'm telling you it's impossible.
Don't lose your temper.
Somebody call lane in London?
Yeah, I don't think he'll go back to sleep.
Could I get a drink?
It's ringing.
Lee. Roger sterling.
From your agency?
Well, it's serious.
He's drunk.
You're damn right I heard.
Because you can consolidate your business here.
Just because your father's non compos mentis
Doesn't mean you have to listen to the board.
It's bullshit! Lee!
30 years?!
I have to hear it on the street?
No review? Nothing?!
He hung up.
It's true?
Tomorrow morning we're getting on the 6:00 A. M. To Raleigh-Durham.
I'll do it.
I've known him half my life.
I need a drink.
( keys jingle, door opens, closes )
( keys clatter )
- What time is it? - Midnight.
You want one?
Looks like you need both.
It looks like lucky strike might have gone South.
Holy crap.
Obviously we'd like to avoid that information getting out.
What happened?
Supposedly, they're consolidating
For a reduced commission at b.B.D.O.
Hey, watch it. You have to keep a clear head.
( bottle thuds )
( sighs ) every day, I tried not to think about what would happen
If this happened.
Aw, look at that plum.
- What's that? - That face.
You're the most hirable man on Madison Avenue.
I'm not at that point yet.
Okay.
( TV playing )
- Where's Trudy? - Her mother's got her all worked up.
She made such a stink. And that thing's at least another day away.
Can I see her?
Have you been drinking?
You need to calm down.
I was at a ballgame when Trudy was born.
Go about your business.
( sighs )
Are you all right?
Could I speak with you candidly?
Always. I'd like to think
I'm more to you than a typical father-in-law.
You are. That's the problem. It's about business.
There's no business in here, son.
We may have lost lucky strike.
I'm sure this agency was a thrill,
But you've had your folly.
That's not right, Tom.
I haven't stayed at Vick chemical for 28 years because I love it.
It's because I have a family. Any minute here, you will too.
- This still can work. - I'm not rooting against you.
You've got my account, for God's sake.
It's just...
You're a frequent topic at c.G.C.
Apparently you were a tough act to follow
- When we moved Clearasil over there. - Ted Chaough?
- I hate him. - He's a good guy.
He's not interested in me. He's just trying to hobble don.
There's no reward in going down with the ship.
I have an agency. I'm a partner.
I found him.
He was down at the candy machines dozed off.
- Can I see her? - No.
She finally went to sleep.
Why don't you just go back
To the candy machines and we'll wait?
I'm sorry about that.
The air conditioning guy's supposed to be there at 8:00.
I guess I'll see you then.
You don't want me to go?
I want you to do whatever you usually do.
Hey, I don't usually do anything.
- Really? - Can't you tell by how badly I'm leaving?
I'm not letting you leave.
What about your air?
You're unbelievable.
I'm sorry. I'm not usually like this.
( rings )
- Hello? - I just walked out of there.
It's over.
- I see. - Since his father got sick,
The board took over. There's no point in talking to them.
He said we did good work.
Our clients need to hear this from us.
I know, Bert. Don't wait for me.
I'm standing by Lee's receptionist.
I didn't want to have to pay for the long-distance call.
Very well then.
( staff chatting )
Lane Pryce isn't coming back.
That's my guess.
I think they'd do that in a memo.
I got $5 that says Cooper's retiring.
No champagne?
I'd say he's got cancer.
It's in bigger print now.
Everyone? If we could have your attention, please?
- Bert. - Ahem.
"we have called this meeting of our nearest and dearest"
To let you know of a change in the agency.
After 30 years of consummate service,
American tobacco has reluctantly decided
To consolidate their business
"At batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn."
Damn it.
"so what does this mean to you?
Now Donald draper: Partner, creative director."
Pete Campbell and Ken Cosgrove
Will handle calls to clients.
Those are the only calls we want made with this news.
Now we've had a pretty good year.
We've gained more accounts
Than we've lost, a lot more,
Because our work is thoughtful and effective...
Even lucky strike said so...
Which means that nothing should change.
Nothing will change.
We're gonna push ourselves shoulder to shoulder
And we're gonna overcome this and succeed tenfold
And it will be exhilarating.
( staff murmuring )
Joe?
As don said, nothing is going to change.
( faintly ) there's only a small modification in policy.
Anything out of the ordinary
Must be approved by myself, Joan Harris or lane Pryce.
That said,
Inquiries as to paychecks and advances...
- What's going on? - That's the head of accounting.
What do you think's going on?
Joe: Any questions?
Nothing?
Okay. If you want to talk to me individually,
- I'll be in my office. - ( staff murmuring )
- What happened? - We lost lucky strike.
Jesus.
But it sounds like everything's under control.
I've got to go to a meeting.
Peggy, Freddy, Danny, Stan... in my office.
We're in some trouble here.
Creative needs to be on its toes.
Is it a "last hired, last fired" sort of thing?
You're in this room. That's all I can say.
Now myself and the other partners
Will be out there beating the bushes for new business,
But creative's job is to hold on to what we have.
That means client's ideas should seem better than they normally do.
For the next few weeks the only words you know
- Are "yes, sir." - yes, sir.
That means, Stan, you babysit that Samsonite shoot every day.
Peggy, the Playtex presentation is still set for tomorrow.
I'll bring in my notes. I can prep you in 10 minutes.
No. You're still gonna do it.
It'll look desperate if I'm suddenly involved.
- So what about it then? - Be successful.
I'm not worried.
Okay. Let's skip the gossip out there.
Get to work.
Peggy?
( flatly ) you're not worried?
I don-t know. You seem to have everything in hand.
Should I be worried?
We don't even know how bad this is gonna be
Until lane shows up.
Every time something good happens,
Something bad happens. I knew I'd pay for it.
You're not paying for anything.
But I'm counting on you.
Close that, will you?
( phone rings )
- Joan Harris. - Joanie, I'm glad you're there.
I'm so sorry.
I feel so guilty.
It's not your fault.
I need to see you.
I need you to come down here.
I'm not flying to Raleigh.
- When do you get back? - No, I'm here.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Cooper said he spoke with you.
He did, but I didn't go.
Damn it, Roger. Get on a plane.
You're very persuasive in person.
There's no point.
It's been over for weeks. Garner was supposed to give me a month.
The bastard couldn't keep to it.
You knew about it?!
I can't believe you. We could've done something.
Don't yell at me. You know what it's been like
Walking around with this? I got a hole in my gut.
What am I supposed to do with this information?
I'm sorry.
But I need you to know why I need you to see you.
You should've told me.
Why didn't you tell me?
I kept meaning to say something.
I thought I still had time. I don't know.
I should go. There's a lot of work to do.
Come after work.
I'm at the Statler.
I had to stay away from midtown.
I'll have to see.
I think my setup is good,
But don always has these little examples at the end
That explain to the client how big the idea is.
They're always kind of poetic.
So get don to write it. We can't lose this.
Since when do we have donuts?
Condemned man always gets his choice of a last meal.
You know what Pete Campbell just said to me?
He said if anybody sends a resume out of here,
- They're gonna get executed. - Fellas, we're on an account right now.
Playtex gloves protect a woman's hands
So they're soft enough to touch
All the things a woman wants to touch.
All the things?
- ( snorts softly ) - uh-huh.
The exciting things she wants to feel
With her fingertips.
His lips.
The tuft of hair on his chest.
The small of his back.
I can't imagine don saying that.
Excuse me. I have a delivery for Peggy Olson.
- What? - Are you Peggy Olson? It's c.O.D.
Let me get my purse.
Go ahead without me. I'm gonna take care of this and then practice.
Am I wrong or is she giving it off?
Well, it's the last days of Rome.
I was in an agency that went down.
The women get sex-crazed.
The energy is very good.
They said they wanted to revise the media plan,
But I think what they really wanted was a budget
To see how much of their money we haven't spent yet.
- Who are we talking about? - Birds-eye.
Harry: Why are we worrying about existing accounts?
If anything, they're going to get more attention.
Because they're afraid we won't be here.
I have news from London.
Pete, wake up.
Lane thinks our billings are probably around $22 million without lucky,
But he has to look at everything in person.
( yawns ) when's he coming?
As soon as he can.
David Montgomery's memorial is tomorrow afternoon.
In case we need cheering up?
The man was senior vice president of accounts
At the #4 agency.
There's gonna be a lot of vulnerable clients in attendance.
- I think Roger knew him. - Sorry to interrupt.
- It's Al Weaver from glo-coat. - What does he want?
- I don't know. - Do you want me on the call?
Didn't you talk with him this morning?
No.
- Al, how are you? - Hello, don.
I'm glad I could reach you. I just wanted to let you know
We appreciate everything you've done for us,
But we've decided to take the account in a different direction.
- All right, Al... - I want you to know it wasn't an easy decision.
- Now can I talk? - Sure.
I don't think you understand what's happened here.
And I'm not talking about losing lucky strike.
- Lucky strike didn't enter into it. - Really?
So that has nothing to do with this?
Don, it's a simple coincidence that it happened now.
Okay, you're right. It is bad timing.
How can you blame us for wanting to move on?
Because that commercial, that little cowboy kid,
Was the first successful strategy you've been near
Since you sponsored fibber McGee and Molly. We won the Clio!
- You won the Clio. - With work we did for you!
With your direction!
Believe me, we know how it looks,
But it's just business, plain and simple.
I'm coming out there. We're gonna talk about this in person.
I'm sorry, don. The decision's been made.
I just thought you should hear it from me.
You know we're gonna want another shot at this soon.
As long as you're around.
We'll be here. Don't worry.
Good luck, don.
I hope we can work together again sometime.
- Okay. - Goodbye.
Goodbye.
- ( loud thud ) - what was that?
Nothing.
- Do you want ice? - No, but I need a favor.
- Make sure I don't overdo it. - Okay.
How do I... um, it's hard to tell with you.
Stop me at three. This is one.
The doctor says they never let the labor go past two sunsets.
Harry: What exactly is the problem?
Apparently Trudy's pelvis is too small
And the baby's shoulders can't get through.
- They should cut it out. - They don't like to start there.
Go to the hospital. There's nothing to do here.
- It's obviously what matters to you. - What?
I don't know what the hell you said to them this morning.
So, Joan, that puts us at what? 20 million and change?
Are you doubting my efforts?
All you had to do was tell them everything was fine.
You think that call's easy to make?
I think you're distracted.
Because of that, I think you scared the shit out of 'em.
Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
Don't blow a gasket.
He called looking for me and my secretary told him where I was.
Incredible.
( Jeannie laughing ) that was something else.
There he is... the man of the hour.
Ted. How considerate of you to stop by.
I wish the baby was here already,
But I'm sure everyone feels that way.
Good news is always worth waiting for.
Well, Jeannie, remember: Don't let your vanity get the best of you.
There is nothing wrong with being called grandma.
Oh. ( laughs )
It's a rattle. You can get it engraved.
Ogilvy sent me one when my son was born.
Thank you. What do you want, Ted?
No, this is about what you want.
I mean, you're about to have everything
The minute that baby comes.
You know your father-in-law never stops talking about you?
He doesn't know the half of it.
You've brought in a little business since you went out on your own...
Glo-coat, life cereal,
Sugarberry hams, Vick chemical obviously,
Mountain dew, Fillmore auto, birds-eye, ponds?
I didn't do all that by myself.
Pete, as far as I'm concerned, you're what's missing from c.G.C.
Jim cutler's due to retire.
"Campbell, Gleason & Chaough"?
Has a nice ring to it.
Wouldn't you want your name first?
I'm open to it if we're having that discussion.
You'll have a full voting third.
I'm not don.
It's not the wild West.
We just got Alfa romeo... little Italian sports car.
I don't know if you've heard of it, but I think you'll really enjoy driving one.
- I don't drive. - I'll teach you.
Tom, Jeannie, my offer still stands.
If you want a hotel room, I can get you one across the street.
Roger. I let you come over
Because you said you needed to talk. We can talk.
- Joanie, I need you. - Stop it,
Or we can talk on the phone.
Is that what you sleep in now?
What do you want? I'm exhausted!
I waited for you at the hotel.
- Why didn't you come? Are you mad at me? - No.
Roger, I can't do this anymore.
You always say that.
- Then you come back to me because we belong together. - Don't do that.
I need you right now.
Because I'm a port in a storm?
No. Because I feel like shit and you care about me.
I'm not a solution to your problems.
I'm another problem.
Are you serious?
I can't do this anymore.
You'll change your mind. You'll see.
I'm sorry.
I just can't do this anymore.
So what are you trying to say?
Roger.
So that night we got mugged,
That was the last time?
Wish I'd known that.
( door closes )
( buffer whirring )
God, I'd think this place would be packed still.
It's 8:00.
There's only so much we can pretend like we're doing.
- Are you okay? - You want something?
I'd rather eat, but that's me.
I'm one over for the day.
( whirring stops )
See that?
I kissed you and it got quiet.
- How'd it go? - It was...
Miserable.
Clients are running scared.
I'm used to having my ideas rejected, not me.
How do you do it?
My job is to present facts.
If they're unhappy with the agency, it's not my problem.
Who's unhappy?
Come on. Clients are always unhappy.
Like who?
- Are you kidding? - No.
Why? I'm drowning here.
You know I can't do that.
If a client is unhappy, they're unhappy.
There's nothing against telling them to have dinner with me.
If you don't want to, tell me who they are. I'll call 'em out of the blue.
I can't do that.
Sure you can. Who'll know?
The standard of ethics this business is low enough.
God knows I've done some things I'm not proud of,
But those other agencies pay me.
What about protecting the clients?
So I'm gonna kill my business to save yours?
It's not your business. It's Atherton's. This is different.
- This is everything to me. - I don't believe this.
You want a shoulder to cry on, fine.
You want to throw me to the wolves so you can save your neck, forget it.
- I would do it for you. - I would never ask.
I would never use you like that
Because I know the difference
Between what we have and this stupid office.
- ( intercom buzzes ) - woman: Mr. Cosgrove says Playtex just left the hotel.
Thank you.
God, I'm so nervous.
You need to relax.
I can't do this drunk.
I know a technique
That can really take the nerves away.
I learned it from a yogi.
( lock clicks )
( clears throat )
- Show me. - Close your eyes.
- Take a deep breath. - ( inhales )
Fill your lungs until you can't anymore.
Stick out your stomach.
Now release it in a cool stream right in my face.
( exhales )
Hey! What are you doing?
You said you wanted to relax, so...
- Let's relax. - Stan, no.
Oh, come on. You're so horny I can smell it on your breath.
Stan, knock it off.
Hey, I saw you with the delivery boy yesterday.
What? He's my boyfriend.
Oh, come on, baby. It's the end of the world.
Why do you keep making me reject you?
I was trying to do you a favor.
Well, thank you. I'm not anxious anymore.
( footsteps )
- Should I get the door? - No. It didn't get any worse.
What exactly did he say?
He said they were terrified about the British
Banning cigarette ads from TV and they need to cut costs.
Maybe it's a good time to get out of this business.
That's crap. Sales were up 10%.
You do what you can do.
David Montgomery's memorial is in 40 minutes
- At the River club. - David Montgomery died?
( chuckles ) well, there's your silver lining.
Who the hell wants to go to that?
We're trying to get new accounts.
- Remember how to do that? - You wanna dogpile on me?
Saving that account was impossible.
Because you ignored it!
One damn account and you ignored it.
You don't know what you're talking about. Pete, explain it to him.
You squeezed me off of it, Roger.
You wanted it all to yourself.
He would have never let this happen.
But you do what you can do which is nothing.
Hey. You're the one who dragged me into your amateur hour.
I was perfectly happy where I was.
Why did I do it? Out of friendship.
But now that the account's gone, I guess that went with it.
Get out of here, all of you. Go Chase a hearse.
Sorry to interrupt.
Mr. Campbell, your father-in-law called.
Your wife and your daughter are resting comfortably.
Oh. Just now?
Yes, it happened. You've got a baby girl.
- All: Congratulations. - Bert: Good job.
Thank you, Megan.
- Okay, we should get going. - Don: Let me get my coat.
Where does draper get off?
Lee garner Jr. Never took you seriously
Because you never took yourself seriously.
- Are you ready? - Mmm.
No hard feelings?
None at all.
Everything good?
Absolutely.
And so I think about that night...
Staring out the window of that Detroit hotel room,
Knowing we were going home with Buick
And saying to David,
"is this the best thing we're ever going to do?"
Lynn, it was your fifth birthday.
The next day when we were in the airport,
He showed me this pendant he'd bought the day before downtown.
As he closed the box, he said,
"Crosby, that's the best thing I'll ever do."
I know it's hard,
But Dave loved you more than anything, sweetheart.
( softly ) that's Stu Carlsbad from Ralston Purina.
He's always ripe.
( softly ) we have dog food experience.
I've got him.
Man: I don't know how prepared I am,
But Dave was always a fan of winging it.
( all chuckle softly )
Beth, his beautiful wife.
You were there before he made partner
And then you gave him to us,
But you know you and Lynnie
Were always on his mind.
True story.
We'd been in London for three months
Trying to nail down British petroleum.
- Never happened. - ( all chuckle softly )
But once a week he would drag me to Portobello road
Looking for thimbles for your collection, Lynn.
Silver thimbles.
And he was an expert.
It's because Playtex is strong enough
To protect a woman's hands.
Through her fingertips, she can dry the tears of a child
Or feel the warmth of her husband's skin.
Playtex protects a woman's touch.
It's very romantic. I have to admit
When you first brought it up, I didn't think that was possible for latex gloves.
These images are about the moments
After the housework is over.
They're about the meaningful life
A woman leads when work is done.
Well, I feel pretty good about this.
Peggy, our pleasure.
We're thrilled to get this in the first try.
Well, I'm gonna let you get back to the hotel
And then steaks and a show.
That went well.
You have lipstick all over your teeth.
What?
- Why are you still here? - I didn't know if I should leave or not.
- How was the funeral? - We'll see.
Get me the campaign briefs on Ken's accounts
And then you can go.
And send Peggy in.
( sighs )
( footsteps )
Miss Olson's gone r the night,
- But if you need help... - did you do that?
I thought in the end you wouldn't want to throw it away.
You're wrong.
That commercial was great
And nothing they do can change that.
I'll take those.
Thank you. You can go.
You sure you don't want some help?
This is a little complicated.
That's okay. I'd really like to learn what goes on here.
( flatly ) really.
Well, first of all, I think it would help me
From making mistakes with your work the way I have.
And secondly,
I think I'd like eventually to do what you do
Or what miss Olson does.
- I didn't know that. - Unless you'd rather be alone.
I don't want to be in the way.
No. I don't mind.
This is a strategy statement
Signed by Fillmore auto parts.
Copywriters stray from these midstream sometimes
If they have a better idea,
But we can't take that chance now.
Wouldn't clients want a better idea?
What'd you like about the commercial?
( laughs ) oh.
You're putting me on the spot. Um...
I know it's a floor wax, but I really remember that feeling
Of being a little kid
And feeling like I was being punished when my mother cleaned the house.
- Where are you from? - Montreal.
We didn't have glo-coat.
- Why'd you move here? - Well, first of all, it's New York.
For an artist, it's mecca.
You're an artist?
I wouldn't say I'm an artist.
I'm an artistic person. I majored in literature
And I've dabbled in writing and painting
And a little bit of acting.
( giggles )
What are you laughing about?
Because I just realized
I know everything about you.
I mean, you're in my head all day,
Even when I go home. And you don't know anything about me.
Well, you haven't been here that long.
And you don't know how long I will be,
So why get to know me?
I can see that's what everybody must think.
You judge people on their work.
I'm the same way.
Everything else is sentimental.
- You want one? - How many is that?
( laughs ) four.
I know you're angry, but I hope you're not afraid
Because you will get through this.
You don't know that.
Why do you care what I think?
Megan, I don't think this is a good idea.
This has nothing to do with work.
I can't make any mistakes right now.
Let's be clear.
I'm not gonna run out of here crying tomorrow.
I just want you right now.
( music playing softly )
Hey. Where are you going?
I'm exhausted.
How was your day?
Fine.
I know how to make it better.
I'm really tired.
Sit down.
What'd you buy?
Look.
( sighs )
Look at it.
Sign it.
"to my loving wife."
( softly ) oh.
I'm so proud of you.
You should go first. Actually, I should go first.
( sighs )
Do you want to grab a bite?
I want you to go home
And I want you to sleep.
And I don't want you drinking any more tonight.
Wait. Did you want to go first?
Good night, Mr. Draper.
( keys jingling )
Didn't expect to see you here.
I was gonna call,
But I didn't want to do this over the phone.
So you were gonna write it on an envelope.
Can I come inside?
I got you a meeting with Heinz.
It's vinegar, sauces and beans.
They're at Ketchum Macleod and they're restless.
- Faye. - I thought about what you said,
I thought about you...
And I thought about... whatever. You are my life right now.
You didn't have to do this.
I wanted to.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you wanna stay?
I'll probably fall asleep on you.
Just sit with me.
