Mr. Baxter will see you now.
You can leave your coats. An hour and 45 minutes. Better than I thought. This is tom schafer,
director of marketing. Jack schmidt,
head of household. - Roger sterling.
- Don draper. Ed, you said they're gonna
bring your son-in-law. Ken knows better. So, Don, what's so urgent? I didn't say urgent.
I said imminent. Well, Ed, I wanna talk
about your business. What about it? See, I've been looking
at what you're doing and I think you're
in desperate need of change. - And you're just the guy to do it.
- I am. Are you still the guy
who wrote that letter? I don't wanna hear
about that letter again. Do you know how hard we
fought to save that account? And they stabbed us
first, believe me. And nobody's gonna wanna be
in the cigarette business. The government's in the
process of killing it. - So you're vindictive.
- Not as vindictive as you, apparently. I had a feeling
this is what this was all about. It's not. This is
about your business. Well, we appreciate that, but
we're very happy with Macmanus. I'm sure they're
very happy with you, but you don't
owe them anything. All they have to do is keep
running the same work. You're on the back burner
over there, subsidizing all the great
creative work they're doing and paying for
new business lunches. As soon as you walk away, that
place will fold up like a tent. We're at 50% market share
in almost everything we make. Because you have a big line of
diverse and charismatic products and you keep making more...
Ziptape, Styrofoam, Rovana. And why do you do that? Because even though success is a
reality, its effects are temporary. You get hungry, even though
you've just eaten. At the old firm, we had
LonDon fog raincoats. We had a year where we sold
81% of the raincoats - in the United States.
- Name another raincoat. But we didn't stop
working for them because 81% isn't enough. Tell me about napalm. You mean that stuff those kids
outside your building are screaming about? Napalm was invented in 1942. The government put it in
flamethrowers against the Nazis, impact bombs against
the Japanese. It was all over Korea.
I was there. And now it's in Vietnam. But the important thing is when our
boys are fighting and they need it, and America needs it,
Dow makes it and it works. But it doesn't change the fact that we're happy
with our agency. Are you?
You're happy with 50%? You're on top
and you don't have enough. You're happy because
you're successful for now. But what is happiness? It's a moment before
you need more happiness. I won't settle for 50% of anything.
I want 100%. You're happy with your agency?
You're not happy with anything. You don't want most of it.
You want all of it. And I won't stop
until you get all of it. Thank you for your time. Thank you for stopping by. I'll buy you a drink if you
wipe the blood off your mouth.
Jon Hamm absolutely killed it in this episode. One of my favorite scenes and episodes ever.
Don Draper vs Bojack Horseman in the finals of the promiscuous alcoholic traumatized childhood severely depressed anti-hero championship
dang now I have to rewatch the whole series.
Don Draper taught us that happiness is the moment before we need more happiness.
TIL: Matthew Weiner worked on the Sopranos too.
I'll need to find the Romanoff's even though it got bad reviews.
My favorite show EVER πππππππ plz keep posting Mad Men
Yassss I'm new to reddit and was just about to look. Thank you!!!
FYI anyone looking to watch it nowadays since it hasn't had a streaming home in a while. Amazon added it to their 'IMDB TV' which honestly I had never heard about but it seems you can watch with Prime Video however it will have ads.
