Roger Sterling and Don Draper in “New Amsterdam”

Roger Sterling

I bet daily friendship with that bottle attracts more people to advertising than any salary you can dream of.

Don Draper

It's the way I got in.

Roger Sterling

So enjoy it.

Don Draper

I'm doin' my best here.

Roger Sterling

No, you're not. You don't know how to drink. Your whole generation, you drink for the wrong reasons. My generation, we drink because it's good, because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar, because we deserve it. We drink because it's what men do.

Don Draper

What about shaky hands, I see a lot of that with you boys?

Roger Sterling

No joke. Your kind with your gloomy thoughts and your worries, you're all busy licking some imaginary wound.

Don Draper

Not all imaginary.

Roger Sterling

Yeah, boo hoo.

Don Draper

Maybe I'm not as comfortable being powerless as you are.
