That poor girl. She doesn't know that loving you is the worst way to get to you.
S6 E9The Better Half
S6 E10A Tale of Two Cities
We're conquistadors. I'm Vasco de Gama, you're... some other Mexican. We're going to land, buy whatever they've got for the beads in our pockets. Our biggest challenge is to not get syphilis.
Dying doesn't make you whole. You should see what you look like.
S6 E11Favors
[about Ted] Can you imagine what it does to his wife every time he takes that plane?
I guess so.
You don't want me to to talk about his wife.
I don't know what you're talking about.
But I do. I've seen that look.
[pause] I know. But nothing can happen.
And he's in love with you, too.
You're the one who's in love with him.
I could use an account, and he's been generous. At least one of us ended up important. [pause] Please tell me you don't pity me.
I don't.
Because you really know me.
[smiles] I do.
[Pete thinks that his mother and her live-in nurse are having an affair; Bob is trying to calm him down]
Can I ask you something? Did she seem happy?
[admittedly] Yes, she did.
[Bob takes a drink and a deep breath]
Is it really so impossible to imagine?
What?
Couldn't it be that, if someone took care of you, very good care of you... if this person would do anything for you... If his well-being was his only thought... that you might begin to feel something for him? [smiles at Pete] When there's true love, it doesn't matter who it is.
[Bob nudges his leg up against Pete's. After a very uncomfortable silence, Pete moves his leg away]
Tell him I'll give him a month's pay, and tell him it's disgusting!
[embarrassed] Of course.
S6 E12The Quality of Mercy
I wouldn't bother you at home, but I've got good news!
You finally found a hooker who'll take traveler's checks?
[Don has meddled in Peggy's ad and with her relationship with Ted]
I know what you did, I just don't know why you did it.
Calm down.
Wanna offer me a drink, pretend like you're helping me a little more?
Close the door.
Oh, of course, you deserve privacy!
Look, there's still enough money for the ad. We'll make it work.
Stop hiding behind the ad! I know what you did.
I saved both of you. How do you think it looks?
You hate that he is a good man!
He's not that virtuous. He's just in love with you.
Well, you killed him. You killed the ad. You killed everything. You can stop now.
I'm just looking out for the agency.
You're a monster!
S6 E13In Care Of
[to Don] What's your occupation, young man?
Staying out of people's business.
[Don has a crisis of conscience in the middle of a pitch to Hershey's]
I'm sorry... I have to say this, because I don't know if I'll ever see you again.
What?
I was an orphan. I grew up in Pennsylvania, in a whorehouse. I read about Milton Hershey and his school in Torn Up Magazine, or some other crap the girls left by the toilet, and I read that some orphans had a different life there. I could picture it. I dreamed of it - being wanted. Because the woman who was forced to raise me would look at me every day like she wished I would disappear. The closest I got to being wanted was with a girl who made me go through her johns' pockets while they screwed. If I collected more than a dollar, she'd buy me Hershey bar, and I would eat it alone in my room with great ceremony. [choking up] Feeling like a normal kid. It said "sweet" on the package. It was the only sweet thing in my life.
[aghast] You want to advertise that?
If I had my way, you would never advertise. You shouldn't have someone like me telling that boy what a Hershey bar is. He already knows.
