“The Milk and Honey Route” quotes from Mad Men

Betty

[to Sally about her cancer diagnosis] Henry shouldn't have scared you. I wanted to tell you myself.

Sally

He doesn't know you won't get treatment because you love the tragedy.

Betty

Sally, I've learned to believe people when they tell you it's over. They don't want to say it, so it's usually the truth.

Sally

Henry says you could have a year.

Betty

And what would that year be like?

Sally

I'll be with you. I won't let you give up!

Betty

I know that. But I watched my mother die. I won't do that to you. And I don't want you to think I'm a quitter. I've fought for plenty in my life. That's how I know it's over. It's not a weakness. It's been a gift to me. To know when to move on.

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.

Trudy

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!

Trudy

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.

Trudy

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

Pete

[smiles] I love you, too.

Trudy

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.

Betty

[in her letter to Sally] I used to worry about you because you marched to your own drummer. But now I realize that's a good thing. You life will be an adventure. I love you. Mom.
