Roger Sterling: Well I gotta go learn a bunch of people's names before I fire them.

Roger Sterling: What else is there?
Don Draper: I don't know. Life being lived? I'd like to stop talking about it and get back to it.

Roger Sterling: What you did is totally unacceptable.
Pete Campbell: I realize that.
Roger Sterling: I want you to be very clear about this: You were fired. I wanted you out. Cooper wanted you out. And you would be...if it weren't for this man. [motions to Don] He thought you deserved another chance. That's right. He fought for you.
Pete Campbell: I don't know what to say.
Roger Sterling: Say nothing. You are here because of Don Draper's largess.
Pete Campbell: Thank you. Thank you so much.
Roger Sterling: Now, I know that your generation went to college instead of serving, so I'll illuminate you. This man is your commanding officer. You live and die in his shadow. Understood?
Pete Campbell: [nods vigorously] I won't let you down, Don.
Roger Sterling: Jesus! Campbell...don't ever say that.

Roger Sterling: You know what my father used to say? "Being with a client is like being in a marriage. Sometimes you get into it for the wrong reasons, and eventually they hit you in the face."

Roger Sterling: You know what? I am very comfortable with my mind. Thoughts clean and unclean, loving and... the opposite of that. But I am not a woman. And I think it behooves any man to toss all female troubles into the hands of a stranger.

Roy: So, what do you do, Don?
Don Draper: I blow up bridges.
Midge Daniels: Don's in advertising.
Roy: No way. Madison Avenue? What a gas!
Midge Daniels: We all have to serve somebody.
Roy: Perpetuating the lie. How do you sleep at night?
Don Draper: On a bed made of money.
Midge Daniels: Isn't this an education!
Roy: You hucksters in your tower created the religion of mass consumption.
Don Draper: People want to be told what to do so badly that they'll listen to anyone.
Roy: When you say "people", I have a feeling you're talking about thou.
Don Draper: And I have a feeling that you spent more time on your hair this morning [points to Midge] than she did.

Sally Draper: [sitting in front of Joan, coloring] You've got big ones. My mommy has big ones. When I grow up, I'm gonna have big ones too.

Sally Draper: [to Don] You say things and you don't mean them. And you can't just do that.

Sally Draper: I'm sorry I broke your suitcase.
Don Draper: Find out how much it is to repair and it will come out of your allowance.
Sally Draper: I don't have an allowance.
Don Draper: Then don't break things.
Sally Draper: I just thought - I just didn't want you to go.
Don Draper: Come here. [hugs her] I'll always come home. You'll always be my girl.

Sally Draper: When I think about forever I get upset. Like the Land of Lakes butter has that Indian girl, sitting holding a box, and it has a picture of her on it, holding a box, with a picture of her on it, holding a box. Have you ever noticed that?

Sarah Beth: [about Arthur] We talk about you, and how Gertie has a crush on you.
Betty Draper: She's a sadist. I'll see you Saturday?
[Betty gets into the car in her dirty riding boots.]
Sarah Beth: Don't you hate getting manure in that?
Betty: Little children. What's the difference?

Stephanie: So I'd say Laura was the worst roommate. She had a nervous breakdown. One morning she's reading the Bible instead of her Psych book. The next morning she woke me up, leaning over me with this crazy smile, and said, ‘Morning, Stephanie. Have you heard the Good News?'
Anna Draper: There are worse things.
Don Draper: No there aren't.

Trudy Campbell: Have you been drinking?
Pete Campbell: The whole country is drinking!

[w:Roger Sterling|]]: A wooden leg. They're so cheap they can't even afford a whole reporter.

[Peggy in the hospital]
Don Draper: What's wrong with you?
Peggy Olson: I don't know.
Don Draper: What do they want you to do?
Peggy Olson: I don't know.
Don Draper: Yes you do. Do it. Do whatever they say. [leans in and whispers] Peggy, listen to me, get out of here and move forward. This never happened. It will shock you how much it never happened.
