[Don is doing Peggy's performance review]
What do you see for the future?
Well, ah... is that on there?
No. I'm just curious.
I'd like to be the first woman creative director at this agency. [Don smiles] Is that funny to you?
No, I'm impressed that you know exactly.
What else is there?
That's what I'm asking. Let's say you get that. What's next?
Land something huge. Create a catchphrase.
So you want fame.
Yes.
What else?
I don't know.
Yes you do.
Create something of lasting value.
[chuckles] In advertising.
This is supposed to be about my job, not the meaning of life.
So, you think those things are unrelated?
[stands up] I didn't know you'd be in a mood.
Do you want me to do this or not?
Why don't you just write down all of your dreams, so I can shit on them? [leaves]
