Afraid you'll fall in love?

Something like that.

WKWayne Kirkby

Well, I can see you have good taste. This is the one. 1962 Coupe de Ville; does everything but make breakfast. What are you in now?

I had a Dodge.

WKWayne Kirkby

Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere. This is for when you've already arrived.

Is that right?

WKWayne Kirkby

Of course, someone like you, you don't need to see yourself in a Cadillac; you walk about in one every day. How'd you like your car to look like that? Look at you. I bet you'd be as comfortable in one of these as you would in your own skin. [hands Don his business card] Wayne Kirkby. Do you have a card? [Don gives Kirkby his business card] Oh, Sterling Cooper.

Wayne, I would like to buy this car.

DDDon Draper/Dick Whitman

[points to the World card] This is the one.

DDDon Draper/Dick Whitman

Who's she?

Shes the soul of the world. She's in a very important spot here. This is you; what you are bringing to the reading. She says you are part of the world. Air, water, every living thing is connected to you.

DDDon Draper/Dick Whitman

It's a nice thought.

It is.

DDDon Draper/Dick Whitman

What does it mean?

It means the only thing keeping you from being happy is the belief that you are alone.

What if it's true?

Then you can change.

DDDon Draper/Dick Whitman

People don't change.

I think she stands for wisdom. Once you live, you learn things.

S2 E13Meditations in an Emergency

Where have you been? You disappeared.

I had to have some time to think about things.

Must be nice. Needing time and just taking it, all on your own terms, not wondering what anybody thinks. Me, the children.

Bets, I'd do anything I could to undo what happened.

What happened?

I was not respectful to you.

Well, now I know I'm not crazy, that helps.

I can't walk away from this, I want to be with you, I want to be together again.

[shakes head] I don't know. Honestly, things haven't been that different without you.
