Mad Men · Season 1, Episode 8

Midge's Friend, Midge Daniels and others in “The Hobo Code”

Midge's Friend

Dig. Ad man's got a heart.

Midge Daniels

The grown-ups are talking.

Midge's Friend

Don't defend him. [to Don] Toothpaste doesn't solve anything. Dacron sure as hell won't bring back those ten dead kids in Biloxi.

Don Draper

Neither will buying some Tokaj wine and leaning up against a wall in Grand Central pretending you're a vagrant.

Midge's Friend

You know what it's like to watch all you ants go into your hive? I wipe my ass with the Wall Street Journal.

Woman

How come every time we have a party the ladies have to sit and listen to the men talk?

Midge's Friend

Look at you. Satisfied, dreaming up jingles for soap flakes and spot remover, telling yourself you're free.

Don Draper

Oh, my God. Stop talking and make something of yourself.

Roy

Like you? You make the lie. You invent want. You're for them... not us.

Don Draper

Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is no big lie. There is no system. The universe is indifferent.
