Scenes with Pete Campbell 27

[Pete thinks that his mother and her live-in nurse are having an affair; Bob is trying to calm him down]

BBob

Can I ask you something? Did she seem happy?

Pete

[admittedly] Yes, she did.

[Bob takes a drink and a deep breath]

BBob

Is it really so impossible to imagine?

Pete

What?

BBob

Couldn't it be that, if someone took care of you, very good care of you... if this person would do anything for you... If his well-being was his only thought... that you might begin to feel something for him? [smiles at Pete] When there's true love, it doesn't matter who it is.

[Bob nudges his leg up against Pete's. After a very uncomfortable silence, Pete moves his leg away]

Pete

Tell him I'll give him a month's pay, and tell him it's disgusting!

BBob

[embarrassed] Of course.

BBonnie

[reaching her hand into Pete's pants] Meet me in the ladies' room in 60 seconds.

Pete

[breathlessly] I have always wanted to do that!

S7 E6 The Strategy

Pete

I've secured Birdseye. I think Ferguson Donnelly is one happy man.

More like a man-and-a-half. As my father would say, he really puts the "Mick" in "McCann".

S7 E8 Severance
View quote →

Roger, I just wanted to let you know I won't be collecting severance.

You got another job? Good for you. But you're still entitled.

It wouldn't be right. My signing bonus from Dow is so big it feels like a second helping.

What the hell are you talking about?

See, I wasn't just Ed's son-in-law. They actually value their relationships.

Well, I suppose they need a guy in fertilizer.

I'm taking Tom Schaeffer's old post. Head of Advertising.

Pete

So, you're going to fire us.

No, it's going to be way worse than that. I'm going to be your client. And I hate to tell you, but I'm very hard to please. Until we meet again. [leaves]

Pete

Shit.

S7 E8 Severance

Pete

I just talked Secor Laxatives into joining us.

[Don smirks]

Do you want to?

Were they difficult to move?

Pete

The thing to do is not make that joke.

Pete

I was offered a job tonight. Because its origins were supernatural, I realize its benefits might be as well. I want you and Tammy to come with me. I want you to relocate to Wichita, pick out a house, and be my wife and family again.

Peter, I'm not dismissing you, I'm just saying, with respect to whatever is happening with your eyes right now, that we both know the past can't be undone.

Pete

Says who? We're not even through half our lives. Even if we are, we're entitled to more!

Of what?

Pete

[pause] Then we're entitled to something new. I wanna start over, and I know I can! I'm not so dumb anymore. I'm not ignoring the fact that I could lose your love.

[gently] You never lost it. But I will not allow you to hurt me again.

Pete

[smiles] I love you, too.

You think you can just come in here when I'm all disoriented and say the things I wanted you to say 2 years ago, and I'll just run away with you?

Pete

I said it to you 10 years ago, and I'm saying it now: I do.
