05x12 - Commissions and Fees

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Mad Men.

Tell them I want a partnership.

Not silent.

How am I supposed to
find $ in two days?

They'll bury your desk in awards,
but they'll never work with you.

Not after that letter.

Bye.

I'll see you in two weeks.

Jaguar is calling the
president every agency

well that is terrific news.

Bravo!

( Theme music playing )

( opera playing )

Buongiorno, gino.

Mr. Covington, you're early.

I'm not in a rush, believe me.

Don?

Jed, Jed Covington from Dancer.

Jed, nice to see you.

Please have a seat.
I'm almost finished here.

Believe me, he's
impossible to bother.

This is a man who won Jaguar.

What is that?

It's like an expensive,
unreliable Dodge.

What, they didn't go for that?

We tried writing sexy
like you did,

but frankly our creative
went home early.

Well, we'll see what's left of what we
did after working with them for a month.

And Peter...

Campbell, is that his name?

Boy, were they
impressed with him.

This is a big win
for your little agency.

You really eat English muffins?

Yes, but they're not English.

Well, to those of us at A's,
everything about you is American...

your sense of humor,
your hard work.

A lot of people join
professional associations

and just use it
as an excuse to drink

and hand out business cards.

Well, there has been
a bit of that.

I'm sure there are
others more deserving.

Who? months after
losing Lucky Strike

to landing a car...
you kept that place afloat.

I suppose the world
could see it that way.

Well, the A's could use
a little of that.

And there's a little trip
to the greenbrier

for the conference
with wives... or without.

Well, I suppose I accept.

But don't expect any miracles.

Great.
And don't be so modest.

Joan:
Thank you, gentlemen.

This shouldn't be
longer than an hour.

Scarlett, you have to make
sure the freelance squatters

are relocated before
the partners meeting.

- Also?
- Also there should be Danish.

- All partners present?
- Partners: Aye.

Shall we begin
with old business?

- Ongoing.
- Ongoing.

If I may begin.

We've received a confusing
request from Jaguar.

They want to explore the
idea of going with a fee structure.

as opposed to
straight commission.

- Is there a difference?
- Well, it's a very interesting issue.

In its most simplistic form,

the money we receive
for work on an account

is derived from the % commission
included in our media purchases,

plus the markup
on production costs.

But under a fee structure,

the client merely pays
for the work being done,

plus a negotiated
/ - % profit.

Well, that is interesting.

The client asked for it.
That's not good.

What if Dunlop tires
wants to do that?

That's a good hypothetical.

If they can get it,
won't everyone want it?

Whatever it is?

It's not hypothetical. Dunlop called last night.
They'd like to meet.

Well, why didn't
you say something?

I was going to wait
for new business.

- Is it new business yet?
- I don't know.

- What are the billings?
- A little under a million

including sporting goods
and tubing.

But every Jaguar wears them,

so you know they've heard
good things about us.

Incoming calls... what a welcoming sound.
Thank you Mr. Campbell.

Shouldn't we have a vote

on the fee versus
commission, um, question?

I already said no.

Or should I leave so you all
can do whatever you want?

I move we tell them
we'll look into it,

and then we'll look into it.

I second that.

All in favor?

So more new business?
Back to ongoing business?

- Do we have any birthdays?
- ( Laughs )

Is there a TV there?

It's night's wild west.

You guys will miss school and
you're getting to go skiing.

I think the wild west
is very low on that list.

Now put your bowl in the sink
and go get dressed.

Henry will be home in an hour.
I wanna b*at the traffic.

Try these.They're the biggest.

I don't wanna wear
someone else's shoes,

especially ski boots.

You know that they're sweaty.

( Sniffs ) Oh, my gosh!

- Try them on.
- Eleanor has smaller feet than me now.

And I'm not going
skiing anyway.

You think you're going to get sent in
the lodge and read a book, forget it.

I would have rather gone to school and
come home and found you all gone.

Is this your plan...
to ruin our ski trip?

I'm old enough that I can stay alone
while you go laugh your heads off.

Fine! I'll leave you
locked in a trunk.

Just let me go to daddy's.

Do they ever take you
on vacation?

Megan and daddy took me
to Disneyland where it's warm.

You want to spend
the weekend there with her

because she lets you do
whatever you want?

She lets me eat
whatever I want.

- ( Buzzes )
- Mrs. Francis on line .

Hello?

I wanted to know if you
would have any problem

with me strangling Sally.

Should we be having this
conversation on the phone?

I'm not joking.
She's fresh.

And I'd prefer not to have
her sour puss ruining our trip!

( Thumps )

Well, if you think k*lling her
is the only way out of that.

- We're dropping her off.
- ( Intercom buzzes )

- Mr. Cooper here to see you.
- Send him in.

I'm gonna be busy all weekend.

It's your child bride
she wants to spend time with.

Are you still asking
for a favor?

I'm not asking.

We're dropping her off
in an hour

and she can sleep with the
doorman for all I care.

I have a question I don't know how to
phrase other than as an accusation.

- What?
- I took it upon myself to evaluate the fee issue.

And upon examination
of our books,

I found this canceled check
in an unopened statement.

I'd ask you
if you knew about it,

but your signature's
on the check.

- So it is.
- I thought we agreed to forego bonuses.

- We did.
- And yet you gave him one.

Bert, I'll take care of it.

You know, you can't keep
being the good little boy

while the adults
run this business.

Dawn, could you get
Mr. Pryce in here?

( Sighs )

( Knocks )

- You wanted to see me?
- Close the door.

Did you hear about the A's?

I hope it's all right.
I accepted on behalf of the firm.

What the hell is this?

Oh, this.

Uh, I remember.

I didn't sign it.

Of course you did.
Right there.

You want me to play detective?

- Don, we all sign a lot of things.
- Is this the only one?

I won't sit here and bear
this interrogation.

You want a professional
to do it?

- ( Liquid pouring )
- I'm giving you a chance to come clean.

Is this the only one?

How did you get this?

Cooper opened the latest bank
statement and the books.

It was a -day loan.

But then we canceled
the bonuses.

You delayed them,
and then you canceled them.

Then you wanted
the money for Joan.

And I'm the one
who's committed the crime?

- Are you gambling?
- No.

I owe taxes on my portfolio.

Which I liquidated

to put $ , into this firm
after we lost Lucky Strike.

If you needed it so badly,
why didn't you ask?

Why suffer the humiliation
for a -day loan?

That was my money!

I'm gonna need
your resignation.

( Stammering ) Just a moment.

I'm sorry and I am remorseful.

I don't know
how it came to this,

but the company's
in ship shape.

And I will make good by easter,

even if I have to pull
my son out of school.

You embezzled funds
and you forged my signature.

I apologize deeply
for involving you.

I suppose I picked you because you've
always been the most decent to me.

I'm doing the most decent thing
I could possibly do, Lane.

I'm letting you resign.

I have never been compensated

for my contributions
to this company,

including my role
in its very existence.

Who would ever have dreamt
of the word Jaguar, hmm?

I took away nothing from P.P.L.
While you lined your pockets.

And I have operated
on a loss for three years!

Please reconsider.

I'm sorry.

I can't trust you.

I'll cover the money
that you owe.

( Laughs )

That , is nothing to you.

Do you know
how the rest of us live?

And in the end, who's
been harmed, really, hmm?

Can you imagine what would
happen if a client found out?

I'll lose my visa.

I can't go back to
England, not like this.

What would I tell my wife?

( Weeping )
What would I tell my son?

You'll tell them that it didn't
work out because it didn't.

And you'll tell them
the next thing will be better,

because it always is.

Take the weekend.

Think about an elegant exit.

Cooper doesn't know anything.

I feel a bit
light-headed.

That's relief.

I've started over a lot, Lane.

This is the worst part.

( Sighs )

Were you celebrating with Don?

Celebrating?

Scarlett told me about
your A's chairmanship.

Congratulations.

You look busy.

I'm thinking about taking
a vacation this easter.

Oh.

Where are we going?

Do you think there is a difference
between Bermuda and Hawaii?

Well, neither is suitable for commemorating
the death and resurrection of our Lord.

Can you imagine me
locked in a hotel room

with a baby and my mother?

I suppose you'd rather
I imagined you

bouncing in the sand
in some obscene bikini.

I think you should take
your party elsewhere.

Well...
Bon voyage.

I had to get up very early
this morning. To go to work.

To make more money,
buy you more champagne.

( Laughs )

Go back to bed.

She's a -year-old coat
check girl from Long Island

or Rhode Island.

She'd never had room service before.
It's too easy.

Why do we do this?

For the sex,

but it's always disappointing.

For me, anyway.

I don't like what we're doing.

So you're drinking
with a purpose.

I'm tired of this piddly sh*t.

I'm tired of living in this
delusion that we're going somewhere

when we can't even give
Christmas bonuses.

What about your speech about how
we were arriving and so forth?

Or how we arrived.
I don't remember but it was good.

So you feel different
since Jaguar?

- We're getting incoming calls.
- Pete is.

Look, I don't like him, but he's
kind of turned things around.

He still thinks small.

Dunlop's another Topaz.
It's another Mohawk.

It's another coat check girl.

- So you don't want it?
- No.

I don't want Jaguar;
I want Chevy.

I don't want Mohawk;
I want American.

I don't want Dunlop;
I want Firestone.

Don't yell at me.
I'd love to have Firestone.

I spent the night
at the American Cancer Society

with my hand
in Jim Barton's pocket

and you told me I was wasting my time.
You told me he was dead.

Because Ed Baxter told me
the Lucky Strike letter

poisoned us with all
those companies.

What? Why didn't
you tell me that?

Because I wrote that letter.

You let that wax figurine
discourage you?

Why didn't you just ask me?
I'll get you a meeting with Firestone.

- It doesn't mean it's not true.
- Jesus, Don.

You used to love no.
No used to make you hard.

And whether you admit it or
not, things have changed.


You just b*at out
two huge firms

for that shitty car account.

Caroline, get me James
Barton at Firestone tires.

- No, get Ed Baxter.
- Let that go.

What's down chemical bill?
million?

It's about the same size
as Lucky Strike.

I'm telling you, Ed Baxter is Moby d*ck.
There are easier whales.

So you can't get me a meeting.
They're three buildings away.

Look, I'm sure
he'll meet with you,

even if it's just to watch you
eat sh*t, but it's complicated.

What about Kenny?

In case you've forgotten, he squeamish
about working with his family.

Then fire him.

( Door opens, closes )

( Doorbell rings )

- Hi!
- What are you doing here?

My dad didn't even
tell you, did he?

I'm spending the weekend
here because I didn't want to go skiing.

I thought you'd be excited.

I just didn't know.
What's wrong with skiing?

I hate her so much.
She's such a phony.

You know that's not true.

Can we have tea?

Go ahead and put the water out.

( Piano music playing )

Sorry I'm late.

I don't mind waiting
minutes for an unspecified

meeting with my boss.

I mean, it's not like your imagination
would run wild.

( Laughs )

So we're going after
your father-in-law.

I see.

Well, I've told you before,
I can't help with that.

- That's what I'm counting on.
- What the hell does that mean?

We want the business and it
has nothing to do with you.

And we'd like to keep it
that way, since you'd prefer

not to jeopardize your
relationship with your wife.

So what do you
think's gonna happen

when Ed calls me
the minute you call him?

I don't know.

I suppose you could
not answer the phone.

You might be having
a drink with your boss.

That's very smart.

I guess there's nothing
I can do to muck it up now.

What the hell does that mean?

Well, I'd hate to bring
it up with Cynthia,

even by accident.

Look at you.

What would it take for you to do nothing?

Some kind of partnership,
assuming it works out?

No, I don't want to
be your partner.

Not seeing what's involved.

All I need is a promise
that if you get it,

you'll force me on it.

Okay.

You really fought us.

And two other things.

Pete doesn't go to the meeting

and Pete doesn't go
to any meetings.

As you were.

- Where are you coming from?
- Hemisphere club.

I've got good news.
I talked to Ed.

- What did he say?
- That he'll see you Monday morning.

Monday?
Are you kidding me?

You said to get you a meeting,
I got you a meeting.

You think this is
a serious meeting,

giving me hours to prepare?

I think that's up to you.

Don't lose your nerve.

I like that guy I saw today.

I missed him.

( TV playing )

Oh. When'd you get here?

After lunch.
They couldn't wait to get rid of me.

- Where's Megan?
- Taking a nap.

- I love when you surprise me.
- I forgot about it.

Well, don't forget Betty's not
coming home until Monday afternoon,

so you can drive her
out to school Monday morning.

I have a meeting.
You'll have to do it.

I have an audition.
I'm gonna be gone all morning.

( Sighs )

Sally, you're gonna be here
alone Monday morning.

Megan's got plans until lunch.

- I have school.
- Not any more.

Turn off the damn TV.

Anything else?

You don't even call me?

Do you know
how insulting it is,

the assumption that I have
nothing else to do?

I had to fire Lane today.

What?

What happened?

He stole money
from the company.

He seems so honest.

Why would he do that?

What's the difference?

It's all just gossip
at a certain point.

You can't tell anyone.

Is the firm okay?

We'll be fine.

Did you eat or just drink?

I'm not hungry.

Well, you're gonna have
dinner with your daughter.

- I have a lot of work to do.
- So do I.

After dinner.

- What are you doing there?
- We're going to dinner.

- No, dear.
- We're going to celebrate.

- More, obviously.
- No, damn it.

What's gotten into you?

I've had a dreadful day, dear.

Not all of it.

I'm tired of you refusing to recognize
the successes when they come.

I know your work
is unpleasant sometimes,

but I'm very proud of you.

You're very kind.

You obviously had a good day
that turned into a bad day

and you drank too much.

But you came home
to me on time.

Now you're taking me to dinner.

No arguments.

Can't we just take a cab?

I thought racing green.

- How did you get this?
- I wrote a check.

I hope you're not cross.

You know what?
I don't care if you are.

You never spend on yourself.

It's always about my travel
or Nigel's schooling.

And I told the salesman
you were a partner

at the car's advertising agency

and he gave me
a very fair price.

Come, let's take
a little drive.

It's lovely.

Go on, sit in it.

( Vomiting )

Oh, dear.
You really did overdo it.

( Vomiting )

Okay, found it.

You sure you don't wanna come?

He wants to work.
Look at him.

He's got a big meeting
tomorrow.

He'll be miserable.

You girls have fun.

Rebecca:
It's cleared up.

You could just go
round the block

if you're still not
feeling steady.

I've work to do.

I don't understand you.

Are you really going to spend
your whole weekend working?

Don't you like your present?

I love the car
and I love you so much,

but I don't feel
right driving it

until I've taken care of some
of these errands I've let go.

There'll be
plenty of time, dear.

You got sick from drink
again yesterday.

Why do you continue?

It's cognac.
It settles the stomach.

Well, finish up and then
we'll go for a drive.

I don't think there's
really anything to see.

I was telling Sally about
my plan to ensnare David.

Either way, Carter's gonna
wanna rehearse with you alone.

- Can I get some coffee?
- I'll have some, too.

He's not gonna
bring you coffee.

Um... "Georgy girl,".

"Alfie," "Gambit,."

"Night of the generals,"
"Blow-up"?

Anything without abortions
or foreigners in it?

Let's see.
"Fistful of dollars."

I think your father would k*ll
me if I see that without him.

So, I don't understand.
Do you like David or Carter?

Well, Carter likes me.

Do you know what he said to me?

I can't believe
I didn't tell you this.

He asked if I was
a redhead everywhere.

Stop! Okay?

No, it's okay.
I have a boyfriend.

- Since when?
- A while.

But I don't know
if he likes me that way.

Then he's not a boyfriend.

A lot of great romances
start out as friendships.

A boyfriend's a person

that makes you feel special,

a person that knows you.

And holding hands is plenty.

You should see
if you can get a drink.

I don't want a drink.

( Distant traffic blaring )

( Engine chugging )

( Engine chugging )

( Engine chugging, grinding )

( Sighs )

- Are you using the lodge phone?
- Sally: No.

I told Betty and Henry to take
their ski vacation and shove it.

- Are you stuck with Bluto again?
- No, I'm at Megan's.

That's better, I bet.

Actually, I'm gonna be
all alone tomorrow morning.

Wanna come visit me?

- Really?
- You can take the train.

It's not that easy.

I've gotta sneak off campus,
which is serious.

Plus, it's a -minute
bike ride to the station

and then two hours
on the train.

Forget it.

For a year you've been saying how
much you wanted to visit me.

Are we ever gonna
see each other?

All right.

The earliest I can get
to grand central is : ,

but I'm gonna have to work
on my paper tonight

to get it typed tomorrow.

park, apartment b.

I gotta get a pen.

( Typewriter clacking )

Do your homework, don't use the
juicer, and I'll be home around : .

And the first thing I'm
gonna do is feel that TV.

- Break a leg.
- Thanks.


You gonna tell me
what you're gonna talk about

or is my look of surprise
part of the sales pitch?

I don't want it
to sound rehearsed.

No danger of that.

Just go in there
and keep your cool.

But if he baits you, I want you
to punch him in the balls.

What happened
to your enlightenment?

I don't know.

It wore off.

- ( Doorbell rings )
- Sally: Just a minute!

- Hey.
- Come in.

You didn't check the peephole.

I knew it was you, silly.
The doorman sent you up.

- You don't look that different.
- Well, you do.

What do you think?

There's a kid at school whose
parents have one better than this.

It has a second floor.

- Mm, what do you wanna do?
- Are you kidding?

The museum's
right across the park.

We don't go across the park.
There's bums on the other side.

I've got money for a cab.

Okay. Let me get my jacket.

How'd they get
all these animals?

Teddy Roosevelt k*lled them.

Do you think
they were a family?

I hope so. Otherwise,
what were they doing?

Walking around saying, "we just need
a baby to finish this diorama"?

( Both laugh )

There's this kid,
Anderson, he's a senior.

He keeps picking fights with
me and he's twice my size.

What a jerk.

All the senior lacrosse guys
peed in my locker.

They ruined my jersey.
They're a bunch of sadists.

Henry got picked on
when he was little,

and now he runs a city.

That's true.

I keep wishing
he would leave her.

I know it's wrong.
I feel really bad.

Don't. You can't make
it happen.

Just so you know,
I could get in trouble, too,

but I really wanted to see you.

Yeah, I can't believe
I almost didn't come.

My stomach hurts.

Maybe you're hungry.
Want some caribou?

( Laughs )

Listen, I feel kind of bad.

They were teasing me
and I might have told them

that I was coming to the city
to, um... to do it with you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

They don't know
how old you are.

I hope that's okay.

You can say whatever
you want, but I...

I'm not sure that's
the way I like you.

Yeah, good.

Yeah. I always think
that you're, like,

my little sister, except smart.

You have a mustache.

I usually shave on sunday night.

- I didn't think you'd care.
- I don't like it.

I really don't feel well.
I'll be right back.

Okay.
Meet me in Africa.

( Toilet flushes )

Woman: Mr. Baxter will see you now.
You can leave your coats.


An hour and minutes.

Better than I thought.

( Chuckles )

This is Tom Schafer,
director of marketing.

Jack Schmidt,
head of household.

- Roger Sterling.
- Don Draper.

( Clears throat )

Ed, you said they're gonna
bring your son-in-law.

Ken knows better.

So, Don, what's so urgent?

I didn't say urgent.
I said imminent.

Well, Ed, I wanna talk
about your business.

What about it?

See, I've been looking
at what you're doing

and I think you're
in desperate need of change.

- And you're just the guy to do it.
- I am.

Are you still the guy
who wrote that letter?

I don't wanna hear
about that letter again.

Do you know how hard we
fought to save that account?

And they stabbed us
first, believe me.

And nobody's gonna wanna be
in the cigarette business.

The government's in the
process of k*lling it.

- So you're vindictive.
- Not as vindictive as you, apparently.

( Chuckles ) I had a feeling
this is what this was all about.

It's not. This is
about your business.

Well, we appreciate that, but
we're very happy with Macmanus.

I'm sure they're
very happy with you,

but you don't
owe them anything.

All they have to do is keep
running the same work.

You're on the back burner
over there,

subsidizing all the great
creative work they're doing

and paying for
new business lunches.

As soon as you walk away, that
place will fold up like a tent.

We're at % market share
in almost everything we make.

Because you have a big line of
diverse and charismatic products

and you keep making more...
Ziptape, Styrofoam, Rovana.

And why do you do that?

Because even though success is a
reality, its effects are temporary.

You get hungry, even though
you've just eaten.

At the old firm, we had
London fog raincoats.

We had a year where we sold
% of the raincoats

- in the United States.
- Name another raincoat.

But we didn't stop
working for them

because % isn't enough.

Tell me about napalm.

You mean that stuff those kids
outside your building are screaming about?

Napalm was invented in .

The government put it in
flamethrowers against the Nazis,

impact bombs against
the Japanese.

It was all over Korea.
I was there.

And now it's in Vietnam.

But the important thing is when our
boys are fighting and they need it,

America needs it,
Dow makes it and it works.

( Ed clears throat )

But it doesn't change the fact

that we're happy
with our agency.

Are you?
You're happy with %?

You're on top
and you don't have enough.

You're happy because
you're successful for now.

But what is happiness?

It's a moment before
you need more happiness.

I won't settle for % of anything.
I want %.

You're happy with your agency?
You're not happy with anything.

You don't want most of it.
You want all of it.

And I won't stop
until you get all of it.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for stopping by.

I'll buy you a drink if you
wipe the blood off your mouth.

Sally?

Sally?

Henry: Sally!

- What's going on?
- She just pulled up in a cab with a $ fare.

I got it.

Sally? Let me in.

Is Henry out there?

No. Let me in.

I got my...
my period started

and I didn't know what to do.

I just wanted to come home.

It's okay.
We'll take care of it.

It's okay, sweetheart.

It's okay.

- I'm sorry to bother you, but can I leave these here?
- Why?

Mr. Pryce hasn't come in yet
and his door is locked,

and I don't feel comfortable
with the company's records

parked on the edge of my desk.

Just leave them.

Please tell him to call me
the minute he gets back.

Thank you, Dawn.

- Can I help you?
- Is Sally here?

She's not.
Who are you?

I'm Glen.
I... I left my bag here.

- Do you know where she is?
- No. I just asked you.

- What is going on what are you doing here?
- I don't know, okay?

We went to the museum
and she said she wasn't

feeling well, and then
she just took off.

I looked for her and finally just
thought maybe she came back here.

I just need my bag, okay?

Calm down.

- When was this?
- I don't know.

I was at the museum
for a long time.

I... I really looked
for her.

I didn't do anything.
I just want my bag.

I would have left it,
but I've got a book

on Nat Turner in there
and my paper's due tomorrow.

- ( Phone ringing )
- Don't move.

- Hello?
- Yes, Megan.

I was just calling to say
if you or Don were wondering

where Sally is,
she found her way home.

( Sighs ) Thank God.

I just found out
or I would have called.

What happened?

Well...

She became a woman today.

She started.

Oh.

I think she just
needed her mother.

No, of course.

Well, let her know
that I'm glad she's okay.

I will.

What happened?

She wasn't feeling well.

- Was that Betty?
- Yes.

Where are you going?

To grand central to get
the train back to school.

I've already lost
one kid today.

I'll put you on the train.

Well, it doesn't
leave until : .

( Sighs )

Look, just wait here,
finish your paper.

I'll take you later.

Do you want something to eat?

If you don't mind.

Oh.

( Laughter )

What's going on?

I think something's
terribly wrong

in Mr. Pryce's office.

I can't get the door open.

Dear Lord.

( Crying )

Jesus.

Here.

Are you feeling better?

- I'm so embarrassed.
- Don't be.

And if you ever get in trouble like
that again, just ask another woman.

- They'll understand.
- Oh, gosh, I don't wanna talk about it.

Move over.
I wanna lie down.

There's a lot
of responsibilities,

but that's what being
a woman is.

And when it happens every month,

even though it's unpleasant,

it means everything's working.

It means everything's
ready for a baby

when you want one.

And maybe you'll have
a beautiful girl

and you can tell her all this.

( Laughing )

Well, I'll tell you
one thing...

if they haven't
called the agency,

they probably called
the men in white coats.

Pete: Hello?

I think you should sit down.

What's going on?

Lane hanged himself
in his office.

What?

( Crying )

Cooper sent everybody home.

Told them there was
a building emergency.

Nobody knows.

What the hell happened?

Who knows?

Come on, I'm taking you home.

- No, I wanna wait.
- For what?

We're waiting for the coroner to
cut him down and take him away.

What, he's still in there?

You can't leave him like that.

They said not
to disturb the body.

- It's a crime scene.
- Come on.

You can't leave him like that.

Get something to cut him down.

Here, cut.

Jesus.

Come on.

Let's go.

"To my fellow partners."

Open it.

It's a resignation letter.

It's boilerplate.

What are you doing home?

Um, hello, Mr. Draper.

Who are you?

This is Glen.
He's Sally's friend.

He's waiting for his train.

Where's Sally?

She went home. I'll explain later.

I don't understand.
I gotta lie down.

We've met before.

I used to live down the
street in Ossining.

You know my mother,
Helen Bishop?

Oh, right.

I should just go.

And sit in Grand Central
until : ?

- I'll be fine.
- Where are you headed?

I go to Hotchkiss.

It's up in Lakeville.
It's a couple of hours away.

That's fine.
Let's go.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

Are you okay?

I had a bad day.
We can talk about it later.

Thank you very much
for your hospitality, Megan.

It was very nice to meet you.

( Sighs )

Why does everything
turn out crappy?

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Everything you wanna do,

everything you think's
gonna make you happy

just turns to crap.

You're too young
to talk that way.

But it's true.

What do you wanna do?

If you could do anything.

What would you do?
