Mad Men quotes

Trudy Campbell

Darling? What's wrong?

Pete Campbell

I can't tell you.

Trudy Campbell

Peter, look at me. Is there something I should know?

Pete Campbell

Trudy, no. It's nothing to do with you. (Offering his hand) Come here.

Trudy Campbell

You should talk to me. You'll feel better.

Pete Campbell

How is it that some people just walk through life dragging their lies with them, destroying everything they touch?

Trudy Campbell

Who are you talking about?

Pete Campbell

I loathe it. No-one ever knows. Except the honest people who have to pick up the pieces.

Trudy Campbell

I don't know what you're talking about, and I want to.

Pete Campbell

No you don't, and I don't want you to.

Trudy Campbell

You can tell me anything. (She moves her hand on her pregnant belly) Ooh.

Pete Campbell

What was that?

Trudy Campbell

Just a kick. He's turning over. Feel. (She places Pete's hand on her belly) Just remember, everything's good here.

Put your home in order, either here or there. You will not live in between.

Lane

Yes sir.

[to Roger] I'm not the solution to your problem; I'm another problem.

[to Roger] Lee Garner Jr. never took you seriously because you never took yourself seriously.

Faye

[to Don] I would never use you like that because I know the difference between what we have and this stupid office.

Faye

[to Don] You want a shoulder to cry on, fine. You want to throw me to the wolves to save your neck, forget it.

Sally Draper

When I think about forever I get upset. Like the Land of Lakes butter has that Indian girl, sitting holding a box, and it has a picture of her on it, holding a box, with a picture of her on it, holding a box. Have you ever noticed that?

Peggy Olson

You always say, if you don't like what they're saying about you, change the conversation.

Don Draper

To what? What they're saying about us is true.

Don Draper

We're Creative, the least important, most important thing there is.

Roger Sterling

Well I gotta go learn a bunch of people's names before I fire them.

Pete Campbell

Yes, Don saved the company. Now go get rid of half of it.

Pete

[to Don] You did what was best for you because you're impatient and childish. You had a tantrum on a full page in the New York Times.

Don

I slept last night for the first time in a month.

Roger

You slept? Really? You weren't smiling over the taste of shit that would be in everybody's mouth over breakfast today?

Don Draper

I've got this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Faye Miller

Listen, maybe it's not all about work. Maybe that sick feeling might go away if you'd take your head out of the sand about the past.

Don Draper

You know it's not that simple.

Faye Miller

Of course it isn't. And you don't have to do it alone, but if you resolve some of that, you might be more comfortable with everything.

Don Draper

And then what happens?

Faye Miller

Then you're stuck trying to be a person like the rest of us.

Don Draper

[about teenagers] The truth is, they're mourning for their childhood more than they're anticipating their future, because they don't know it yet, but they don't want to die.
