Mad Men Season 6 quotes

Roger

[to his psychiatrist] I'm just acknowledging that life, unlike this analysis, will eventually end, and somebody else will get the bill.

Hello, gorgeous.

Joan

[uncomfortable] Hello, Herb.

Did you get all gussied up for me?

Joan

No. I had no idea you would be darkening my doorway.

When are you going to come out to the lot? I told I'd let you have a Jaguar for as long as you want.

Joan

I take the bus.

I know there's a part of you that's glad to see me.

Joan

[looking at his gut] And I know there's a part of you that you haven't seen in years.

Don

[to Pete] I wish you would handle clients as well as you're handling me.

Trudy

We're done, Peter. This is over.

Pete

You want a divorce?

Trudy

I refuse to be a failure. I don't care what you want anymore. This is how it's going to work: You will be here only when I tell you you can be here. I'm drawing a 50-mile radius around this house, and if you so much as open your fly to urinate I will destroy you. Do you understand?

Pete

You know what? You're going to go to bed alone tonight, and you're going to realize that you don't know anything for sure.

Trudy

I'll live with that.

Harry

"Broadway Joe on Broadway". Did anybody in this room think of that? I did.

Pete

What the hell is that?

Harry

It's $150,000 worth of incremental business I generated while solving a problem. And for what? So I can stand outside that door and watch you all in here?

Don

What did Dawn do?

Joan

Well, I'm almost positive...

Harry

Just keep listening to her, because she's a partner! You know what, I'm sorry my accomplishments happen in broad daylight, and I can't be given the same rewards.

Pete

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Harry

You know damn well! The next time this group is called to order, I expect to be sitting at this table. I've actually earned it.

Don

The greatest thing you have working for you is not the photo you take or the picture you paint; it's the imagination of the consumer. They have no budget, they have no time limit, and if you can get into that space, your ad can run all day.

Peggy

Don't do anything stupid.

It's too late. I'm going to Harlem in a tuxedo.

Don

I never wanted to be the man who loves children, but... from the moment they're born... that baby comes out, and you act proud and excited, hand out cigars... but you don't feel anything, especially if you had a difficult childhood. You want to love them, but you don't. And the fact that you're faking that feeling makes you wonder if your father had the same problem. Then they get older, and you see them do something, and you feel that feeling that you've been pretending to have. You feel like your heart is going to explode.

Megan

[about Don] He's so far away. Sometimes when we're alone I feel like I'm making conversation.

Marie

Darling, you have confounded everyone's expectations. And it is very hard to stand next to someone giving an autograph.

Megan

He doesn't even care.

Marie

Of course he does, but he may think that you belong more to other people than to him.

Megan

[in French] Maybe.

Marie

[in French] It's easily fixed. Don't dress like his wife. The only thought he should have at this meal is how quickly he can get between your legs.

Joan

[to Don] Just once, I would like to hear you use the word "we". Because we're all rooting for you from the sidelines, hoping that you'll decide what's right for our lives!

Roger

Come on in, Burt. Have a seat.

[looking at Roger's modernist chair] What is this? A bed?

Roger

Yeah. You might wanna lie down because here we are again.

Well, I haven't forgotten anything. Not a damn thing.

Roger

A lot of times in life you get to do something and you don't realize until it's over how much you enjoyed it. And you swear that the next time it comes around, you're gonna remember that.

You're right. And I think I can work with you, too.

Roger

Work? No Burt, I'm letting you go again.

What the hell? You can't do that!

Roger

It probably doesn't make a difference at this point, but no one fought for ya.

Well we'll see what the folks at Chevy have to say about this!

Roger

Remember Ken Cosgrove? Like a six foot version of Alan Ladd? He's touring the plant right now.

You bastard! I've got four million in billings! What've you got?

Roger

I was thinking you would feel that way, that you had more clients and that gives you a voice. I was imagining you talking over me in meetings. Now I don't have that problem.

My clients will leave with me!

Roger

No one will ever say you weren't funny, Burt.

Well I'll tell you one thing, I'm expecting some kind of severance!

Roger

Who knows? We're really hurting, we're having to cut back...well, obviously.

You're a real prick, you know that?

Roger

Dammit Burt, you stole my goodbye.

Oh, hello, you must be Burt Peterson. I'm Bob Benson. I'm supposed to report to you.

Well, as first order of business, I recommend you stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye!

I think this is over.

Don

It's over when I say it's over.

I had a dream that you crashed in that plane.

Don

But I'm back.

I dreamed that I went to your funeral, and Megan cried on my shoulder.

Don

Stop it.

And then I went back to Arnold, and I made love to him, and I said, "I've been away, but now I'm home."

Don

It means you missed me.

No, it means it's time to really go home. This is over, and not just...this.

Don

It's easy to give up something when you're satisfied.

No, it's easy to give up something when you're ashamed.

Don

[pained] Don't...

It's time to go.

Don, ask a question. You can just think of it. You don't have to say it out loud... [Don says nothing] Perfect.

Does someone love me?

Don

What?

That's what your question was.

Don

Why would you say that?

That's everyone's question.

Betty

What are you doing?

Don

Waiting for you to tell me to stop.

Betty

What did you think when you saw me?

Don

That you are as beautiful as the day I met you.
