Peggy: We both know there's a better idea.
Stan: There's always a better idea.

Peggy: Well it's just um. I just wanted you to know that I tried your kids' point of view and it's not good.
Don: (laughs) Well it was great hearing from you.
Peggy: Well I know now that you're presenting that you're prone to more serious thought and I just want you to know this one's a loser.
Don: I'm always working Peggy.
Peggy: Why are you undermining me?
Don: From now on I won't express myself.
Peggy: Well, not it's tainted. It's poisoned because you expressed yourself.
Don: If you don't want to do it, don't do it.

Bonnie: I don't like you in New York.
Pete: Well, then you don't like me.
Bonnie: You're not going to f*ck your way out of this.
Pete: What?

Don: How's it going?
Peggy: Did you park your white horse outside? Spare me the suspense and tell me what your save the day plan is.
Don: I don't have anything yet. The idea I had wasn't great.
Peggy: It wasn't great. It was terrible. I wanna hear the real one. Or are you just gonna pull it out during the presentation?
Don: This idea is good. I think we can get the client to buy it.
Peggy: No you don't or you wouldn't have questioned it.
Don: I'm going to do whatever you say.
Peggy: So you're going to pitch the hell out of my shitty idea and I'm going to fail.
Don: Peggy, I'm here to help you do whatever you want to do.
Peggy: Well, how do I know?
Don: That's a tough one.
Peggy: You love this.
Don: Not really. I want you to feel good about whatever you're doing. That's just the job.
Peggy: What's the job?
Don: Living and not knowing.

Don: Well, whenever I'm really confused about an idea, first I abuse the people whose help I need and then I take a nap.
Peggy: Done.
Don: Then I start at the beginning and see if I wind up in the same place.

Bob: I'm thinking about you Joan. Is this what you want? To be near 40 in a two bedroom apartment with a mother and a little boy? I know I am flawed, but I am offering you more than anyone else ever will.
Joan: No, you're not Bob. Because I want love, and I'd rather die hoping that happens than make some arrangement.

Does this family exist anymore? Are there people who eat dinner and smile at each other without watching TV?

Peggy

Don: I worry about a lot of things, but I don't worry about you.
Peggy: What do you worry about?
Don: That I never did anything and that I don't have anyone.

You think you're going to force me out of my own company?!

Don

That is a very sensitive piece of horseflesh. He shouldn't be rattled!

Pete

You don't owe me anything. Goodbye Don.

Megan

Poor Bert. I should have realized it was the end. Any time a man starts talking about Napoleon, you know he's gonna die.
