Peggy Olson quotes from Mad Men

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.

Peggy

[about Marilyn Monroe] You just don't imagine her ever being alone. She was so famous.

Some people just hide in plain sight.

Peggy, sometimes I feel He called me to this parish to reach you.

Peggy Olson

No, I didn't know that.

Well it's true. Hell is serious and very real and unless you unburden yourself you cannot know peace.

Peggy

I understand that, Father, but you're upsetting me right now.

That is your guilt, Peggy. All that God wants is for you to reconcile with him. Don't, don't you understand that this could be the end of the world and you could go to Hell?

Peggy

I can't believe that's the way God is. Good night, Father.

Peggy Olson

Let's assume we can get a girl who can match Ann-Margret's ability to be 25 and act 14.

Is that what she's doing?

Paul Kinsey

[after smoking marijuana] If you were feeling it, you'd be hungry.

Peggy Olson

I am hungry. It's just not worth moving.

Peggy

I look around and I think, I want what he had. You have everything and you have so much of it.

Don

I suppose that's probably true.

Peggy Olson

What do you want from me?

I want to take you in that bedroom, lock the door, take your clothes off with my teeth, throw you on the bed and give you a go-around like you've never had.

Peggy Olson

I have to go to the printer.

Paul Kinsey

I know a nooner when I hear one.

Peggy Olson

You're disgusting.

Don Draper

No. Because there are people out there who buy things, people like you and me. And something happened. Something terrible. And the way that they saw themselves is gone. And nobody understands that. But you do. And that's very valuable.

Peggy Olson

Is it?

Don

With you or without you I'm moving on. And I don't know if I can do it alone. Will you help me?

Peggy

What if I say no? You'll never speak to me again.

Don

No. I will spend the rest of my life trying to hire you.

Roger Sterling

Peggy, can you get me some coffee?

Peggy Olson

No.

Peggy Olson

[after Joyce kisses her] I have a boyfriend.

He doesn't own your vagina.

Peggy

No, but he's renting it.

Peggy Olson

Have you been yelled at by Don yet?

I'm not scared of him.

Peggy Olson

So that's a no.

Don Draper

It's your job. I give you money, you give me ideas.

Peggy Olson

And you never say thank you.

Don

That's what the money is for!

Don Draper

[about her pregnancy] Do you ever think about it?

Peggy Olson

I try not to, but then it comes up out of nowhere. [She pauses] Playgrounds.

Peggy Olson

What happened?

Don Draper

Somebody very important to me died.

Peggy

Who?

Don

The only person in the world who really knew me.

Peggy

That's not true.
