Joan Holloway quotes from Mad Men

Joan

But no flowers from you.

Don

You scared the shit out of me.

Joan

[people watching in a bar] Who do you think he is? Advertising? Insurance? Lawyer? And who do you think's waiting at home? I bet she's not ugly. The only sin she's committed is being familiar.

Don

So you think it's all him?

Joan

Because she can't give him what he wants?

Don

Because he doesn't know what he wants. But he's wanting.

Joan

He knows. It's just the way he is. And maybe it's just the way she is.

Don

You know what this woman said to me once? I like being bad, and going home and being good.

Joan

I bet that stuck to your ribs.

Don

It was a disaster.

Joan

And you enjoyed every minute.

Pete

[to Joan] It turns out he wanted something we weren't prepared to give. Something very unorthodox.

Pete

What would it take to make you a Queen?

Joan

I don't think you could afford it.

Hello, gorgeous.

Joan

[uncomfortable] Hello, Herb.

Did you get all gussied up for me?

Joan

No. I had no idea you would be darkening my doorway.

When are you going to come out to the lot? I told I'd let you have a Jaguar for as long as you want.

Joan

I take the bus.

I know there's a part of you that's glad to see me.

Joan

[looking at his gut] And I know there's a part of you that you haven't seen in years.

Harry

"Broadway Joe on Broadway". Did anybody in this room think of that? I did.

Pete

What the hell is that?

Harry

It's $150,000 worth of incremental business I generated while solving a problem. And for what? So I can stand outside that door and watch you all in here?

Don

What did Dawn do?

Joan

Well, I'm almost positive...

Harry

Just keep listening to her, because she's a partner! You know what, I'm sorry my accomplishments happen in broad daylight, and I can't be given the same rewards.

Pete

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Harry

You know damn well! The next time this group is called to order, I expect to be sitting at this table. I've actually earned it.
