Mad Men (2007–2015): Season 1, Episode 11 - Indian Summer - full transcript

♪♪ [theme]

Listen, can you mail
this for me today?

Sure, Whitman.

It's going to be
at least 40 cents.

Thank you.

Mama, Mrs. Winter is a busybody.

You're threatening me.

I'm glad he wants to see me,

but I... I don't
want to see him.

I'm working a lot right now.
I don't have a lot of time.

I have to go.



Were you listening
to my phone call?

You mean your
personal phone call?

Good morning, Mr. Draper.

Peggy, will you get
me a glass of ice water?

Someone hasn't told
the sun it's October.

Miss Holloway. Mr. Draper,

it's the Client" Luncheon.

Mr. Cooper said
you were responsible

while Mr. Sterling is out.

Didn't you handle most of
Mr. Sterling's catering questions?

Continue doing that.

How is he? Have you visited?

I have. He's less sickly.

I hope he knows how
concerned we all are.



Good morning, chief. Don.

Joan's been a bitch lately.

Anyone else notice that?

Oh, absolutely.

I like it. Oh, do you?

This got kicked over
from Ed Baltz at Compton.

We sent them
Firestone last month

because of our
conflict with Goodyear.

This is how they
repaid the favor.

Look at that.

I think it's a modified
Lionel transformer.

Well, I never
thought I'd say this,

but what does the research say?

Weight loss is a
hard thing to prove.

No, it isn't. It's "before"
and "after" pictures

since the dawn of time.

Mr. Martin
Buckwald, its inventor,

he calls it the P.E.R.,

or Passive Exercise Regime.

[Don] So it needs a name.

The Electrocizer.

For a slimmer, better you.

That helps a little.

Regarding slimmer,

Buckwald has a fair
amount of testimonials,

but unfortunately none
you can take a picture of.

We tried to get our
own testimonials.

Some of the fellas brought
it home to their wives.

And?

It's tricky. I, uh,
gave it to Jennifer.

She took it the wrong way.

She told me to wear it.

[laughter]

Violet has it.

She says the
scales are the same,

but she hasn't given up on it

like she does with
diets after a week.

Mitch and some
of the other guys...

We had eight belts.

Again, there's been
no weight loss yet.

Who cares if it works?

They're offering us
commission on media,

plus a bounty on every unit
upside of last year's comps.

But fake weight loss claims?

[knock on door]

Thank you. Mm-hmm.

What about her?

She's obviously losing
some kind of battle.

You may have
to let it out a little.

Maybe you should
put her on your regimen

of sprinting out the
door every day at 5 to 5.

What I'm saying is she did
a heck of a job on Belle Jolie.

Maybe lightning
will strike twice.

I don't think
Peggy's the answer.

I promised Buckwald
we'd go with our big guns.

Our big guns have been silent.

Peggy!

Did you need more water?

This device is a new product.

I would like you to give
us your thoughts on it.

Right now?

No.

It's a weight
loss belt, it says.

It, uh, stimulates the muscles,

imitating calisthenics.

You'd be perfect for it.

Why?

Because you're a woman.

And we'd like
your point of view.

I'm getting another account?

It's an assignment,
not an account.

Go ahead, sweetheart.
Take it for a spin.

Uh, am I allowed
to change the name?

Yes.

Thank you.

That'll be all.

I need 3.59 for the phone bill.

I told you I never use it.

But you do use the saltines

and the Velveeta
and the liverwurst.

I never even got any.

I had some people over

while you were out
drinking on Tuesday.

3.59. That's your
half of the phone.

You should use it more.

I have work to do.

I don't know why you do that.

When I leave the
office, I'm done.

[machine hums]

Oh!

[machine stops]

[floorboards creak]

Do you have to go home?

No.

Good. I don't want you to.

I don't want to.

This is hard for me.

Mostly because I
can't even imagine

how hard it must be for you.

I don't think about it.

I mean, I try not to.

Must be a powerful
mind you have there,

because I can't control mine.

I keep thinking about
us being together.

We are together.

I know, but...

I don't know if I
understand how this works,

where it goes.

I'm worried it's a fantasy.

It's not.

I told you, I'm right
where I'm supposed to be.

I just haven't figured
out what to do yet.

I'm sorry. Would you
like me to wait outside?

It's up to you.

I, um, I did the work
on the weight loss belt,

like you asked.

That was fast.

You asked me to.

And what is your
unique point of view?

I wrote it down.

Summarize.

It's one day. I don't
know if I lost any weight.

Do you feel different?

I wrote it down.

Peggy, you're saying even
less in here than you are now.

It's hard to put into words.

Then you have failed.

You definitely feel something

that I think some women...

would like to feel.

Huh.

Where is that here?

It vibrates.

And that coincides
with how you wear it.

Oh. I see that here:

"a sensation."

Yes.

It explains its success.

And it basically made me think

it was probably...
unrelated to weight loss.

We now have a benefit.

And we just have to figure
out how to put it into words.

Have another go at it.

I will work on that, Mr. Draper.

Peggy, just think
about it deeply.

Then forget it,

and an idea will...
jump up in your face.

Thank you.

[doorbell rings]

[Man] Excuse me, ma'am.

I hate to bother you.

I'm from the Frederick
Air Conditioning Company,

and I'd like to talk to you

about an opportunity

to live in frozen comfort.

I'm not interested.

Could I trouble you
for a glass of water?

It's a scorcher out here.

Uh...

I...

Of course.

Thank you.

Ahem.

Thank you.

You know, we have many units

in all price ranges.

What?

I'm married to a salesman.

And I'm sure my husband and I

can brave another week

or however long this
Indian summer's going to be.

Can I come back when he is here?

I mean, a unit here

or in your living room...

We wouldn't even have
to alter your window.

We could just cut
a hole right above it.

You see this gap?

That's where your cool
air, whatever there is of it,

is escaping.

From that little space?

Yes. And there's a science

to how heat patterns work.

Now, what you need
is a unit here downstairs

and one in your bedroom.

That's if you have
the right construction.

That would be nice.

I could take down some numbers,

you know, measure everything.

Write up an estimate...

Something you could
discuss with your husband

when he comes home.

I guess that would be okay.

You know...

my husband...

I think he would
rather go to Sears.

If that's what you want.

You should go.

I can just guess
what this would cost

and put it on your
door for your husband.

Please go.

[door closes]

Fernando, we are pleased to hear

that case sales have
more than doubled.

We still believe that
most of the credit

goes to your rum.

Say hello from me.

Bert Cooper says

it is a unique pleasure
working with you.

I just finished trying to
talk Lucky Strike off a ledge.

Junior or Senior?

Senior. He's coming
for lunch tomorrow

to see if Roger
is still involved.

And they're having this
lunch bedside, I suppose?

I invited him here
to see for himself.

He called my bluff.

Clear tomorrow.

I need you to, uh,

draw focus from
our guest of honor.

Was number 2 in his class
at Columbia Law School.

He works with Morgenthau,

and having been
captivated by him

at more than one cocktail party,

he is a charmer.

I can see he does
something for you,

but I don't know if
this is the right time.

Because you're getting so
much younger every day?

Because I don't know if
my heart would be in it.

Are you seeing that goy?

A little bit.

Well, I told you I
wouldn't let that stop me.

What if he were, um...

You're mumbling.

What if he were married?

My goodness.

Jesus.

Nothing's happened.

Good.

But I have been
thinking about it.

The two of us together.

It feels so natural. I
feel so close to him.

Really?

He's married, but I
don't think he's happy.

Obviously.

What does it matter?
Nothing's going to happen.

All I know is what I
see in the movies.

It's magical, and then they start
talking about him leaving his wife,

and then he doesn't.

I saw this one where the
husband gets the woman pregnant

so he kills her.

You don't want to be that woman.

Go ahead.

Oh, please. Whatever it says

is going to seem
related to this.

"You are your own worst enemy."

That's yours.

You look tired.

I am.

You're working too much.

No, it's just...

Maybe.

It's too hot in here anyway.

[mutters]

You know, we're
losing a lot of our cool air

through the windows
in the dining room?

What?

Nothing. It's just something
the salesman said.

What was he doing
in the dining room?

What are you talking about?

You let a stranger in my house?

Don't raise your voice.

I damn well will raise my voice.

Do you have any idea
what could have happened?

I could have bought
an air conditioner.

It's hot.

Salesmen go into
people's homes every day.

It's like when you
turn on a television set

and then you turn it off, it...

Look, you didn't want
to spend the money...

Good night, Betty.

I feel like I should
make a speech.

Get back to work.

Welcome back. You look good.

Honey.

One hour. That's all you get.

You be a good boy.

I shall be both dog and pony.

Come on.

He looks like death.

I know. His hair and his
skin are the same color.

Not really.

That's the spot...

Exactly where it happened.

[sigh] I can still feel it.

[knock on door]

Oh.

Miss Holloway, we
brought you here

because of your discretion.

Can you help us
with this? His color?

Hey, honey.

Well, you know, we
don't need Miami Beach,

but, uh, just do
what you can do.

Can I kiss you?

I don't know if I
could handle it.

We should have done this
for Nixon before the debates.

Oh, the arrogance
of that campaign.

It's infuriating.

Being the incumbent
is even harder.

You can't just sit on your
ass and look presidential.

You probably
shouldn't get so upset.

It's not good for you.

I missed you.

You know that, right?

I missed you, too.

Oh, Joannie, Joannie,
look at that mouth.

You're not doing my lips.

My rouge is too dark,

but I have this light lipstick.

You'll draw freckles on
me, too, like Raggedy Andy?

Look, I want to
tell you something

because you're very dear to me,

and I hope you understand
it comes from the bottom

of my... damaged, damaged heart.

You are the finest
piece of ass I ever had,

and I don't care who knows it.

I am so glad I got to
roam those hillsides.

Stop it.

I mean it.

I've had a lot of time

to think about the
things I've done

and been sorry about,

and being with you
is not one of them.

[whispering] Oh, Red.

That's not what I wanted.

You look better.

I should have come over.

That's a silly idea.

Damn it.

Soon the milk stains are
going to meet the sweat stains.

Should we get out of
here and let her sleep?

I'd love to, but the door's
noisier than our talking.

She's actually a good
sleeper, thank God,

even with the heat rash.

Poor thing.

And it actually
gets hotter at night.

Did you think about
buying an air conditioner

from that pushy
young man yesterday?

Is that what he was selling?

He looked like one of
Carlton's squash buddies.

Made me sorry I
answered the door.

He was very pushy.

He came in and
started measuring things.

Don was not happy about that.

Don was there?

No.

Carlton would break my arm.

It was foolish letting him in.

Why would you tell him?

It just came up.

I wasn't thinking.

What did he do?

What do you think?

He lost his temper.

He's very protective.

Just as you requested,

a little of our local color:

pastrami, cole
slaw, sour pickles.

Uh-huh. I like it.

It's Yankee barbecue.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

They're all ours.

[Cooper] Here they are now.

Roger. Hello, Lee.

Hello, Don. Lee. Preston.

Jimmy, Preston, how do you do?

It's wonderful to see you.

Well, from what I hear,

you boys had all but
given me up for dead.

I don't think it's wrong

for us to express our concern

for your well-being.

Well, I know how much
you love your delicatessen.

But I know there's
also something else

you want to discuss.

You're worried about
losing the lawsuit?

There were no damages.

But we lost.

But there were no damages.

Blame is one thing,
malice is another.

I worked my way inside
and out of the FTC.

Bought a lot of
dinners in Washington.

You can't fight them.

That's what lawyers are for.

Lawyers? I've seen a girl
fight harder on her first date

than these DC shuttlecocks.

[laughter]

Listen, I'm a stockholder,

so I called Chester Conrad

in the Surgeon General's office,

and he assured me it
would be at least three years

before they could
compile a report.

But legislation is in progress.

We hear another year
or two beyond that.

They speculate they're going to
put warning signs on the packages.

There's still plenty of time

before we have
to worry about that,

during which we wait
to see if share drops off

before we run for the hills
looking for a new campaign.

Is that true?

Well, it must be.
He just said it.

Well, I've been spending
a lot of time with my wife.

I'm glad we came by.

I missed you all.

You New Yorkers.

To New Yorkers.

May they always... Ohh!

Aah!

Oh, Jesus. Not again.

[Cooper] Are you okay?

[Don] Just give him some
air. Give him some air.

Give him air.

[groaning]

I'm okay. Don't talk.

This was stupid.
I'll get the elevator.

No, they're
holding the elevator.

I'm very sorry.

Mona, sweetheart,
this was a mistake.

I tried to talk him out
of it, but you people.

Mrs. Sterling, I had no idea.

I used to think you couldn't
put a value on a human life,

but I never asked
Bert Cooper, did I?

Sweetheart...

Go to hell, Bert.

I don't need to tell you

that Don has
everything under control.

I don't know.

Without Sterling...

I may have a family business,

but I'm not an autocrat.

I have a board,

and my son wants
to be the executive

of an aluminum company.

Ah, still, your board
should give credit

where credit is due.

Share?

We all like Don Draper,

but if I was you, I'd find
some way to show him

that you all do, too.

He's a dead man, you
know, even if he survives.

What are you talking about?

Most clients will put up

with one coronary
from a partner.

Cost of doing business. Two?

Are we going down?

I wrote, prepared, and sent
out my resume this afternoon,

at company expense.

Look, it doesn't take a genius

to see what's going to happen.

They'll bump
Draper up to partner.

Everyone will fall in line.

Draper.

It would have happened
a long time ago

if they weren't so greedy.

They're already paying
him his weight in gold.

Half the accounts at this
agency came for Draper.

Frank Birmingham
brings in a lot of accounts.

Come on. You sit in
that conference room.

Frank Birmingham brings them in,

and while they're dozing off,

Don goes through their wallets.

What about Mitch
Sullivan in Media?

He's fat, bald, and charmless.

You think Draper likes me?

He rides me pretty
hard sometimes.

It's hard to tell with him.

He likes you.

I work at it.

I work at it, too.

I can tell you do.

You never know
when he's doing it.

There's not a man in this room

who's not holding Don
Draper on their shoulders

so that he can reach partner.

He's not going to fire you.

Who said anything about that?

No one. It's just...

You don't think he
deserves it, do you?

Campbell, don't you know
anything about business,

cleaning out the old guys?

It's good for us.
It opens up spots.

My ma, she wouldn't
shut up about you.

I told her I remembered you.

Isn't that nice?

You smoke.

All the time.

It's practically
mandatory in our office.

[cough]

Thank you.

Brandy Alexander for La Donna,

and a Rheingold.

What, you don't like
it? I'll send it back.

Well, my friend Joan
always orders them for me.

They're usually sweeter.

Hmm.

She's a scream.

She lives in the city.

There's a bar in Manhattan
where the glasses are chilled.

Hmm.

What's in that?

I don't know.

So you drive a truck.

Yes.

But I bought my own route.

Wise potato chips.

Really?

Yeah.

I have an area that's just mine.

The route was expensive,

but the hard part was
learning that truck.

Special license.

We have a potato chip account:

Utz.

You get free ones? I do.

I don't know. I don't
like potato chips.

You live out here, right?

Prospect Park. I have
my own apartment.

Well, I share it with
my roommate Marjorie.

She's a character.

My sister's a secretary
for Bulova in Flushing.

I just got a new
account the other day.

I already wrote copy
for Belle Jolie lipsticks.

It's going to be in a
bunch of magazines.

Which ones?

I don't think you read them.

They're about high fashion.

Advertising doesn't work on me.

It's just a lot of people
screaming at you

from the walls and the TV.

If advertising is good,
people never think it works.

How do they know it does?

Did they ever prove that?

Why are you insulting what I do?

"So you drive a truck."

You do.

I'm my own boss, you know?

You get off the train
every day at Grand Central,

and they spray you with gold?

Let me tell you,

you can act like
you're from Manhattan,

but you don't look
like those girls.

Hey, hold on.

That wasn't nice.

I feel sorry for you.

I said I'm sorry.

Those people? In Manhattan?

They are better than us,

because they want
things they haven't seen.

[Announcer] The
Danny Thomas Show

was brought to you
tonight by Post cereals.

All fine products
of General Foods.

Post cereals.

And now...

[TV shuts off]

I'll be up. I want
to check on Roger.

Okay.

[ring]

Hello.

Hello. It's Don Draper.

What can I do for you?

I don't know what
you do for anybody.

Mr. Draper, you sound hostile.

After hundreds of dollars,

all you've managed to do
is make her more unhappy.

I understand this
is frustrating for you.

This has nothing to
do with me. It's her.

You took a woman with
a bad case of nerves,

and you made her
weaker, not stronger.

I'm afraid to leave her alone.

All I can say is
that it's a process,

and time is part of it.

If you'd like to
expedite things,

we can put her
in psychoanalysis.

What are you doing now?

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Psychoanalysis
would mean a minimum

of three sessions a
week and optimally five.

Thank you.

I'll think about that.

Over there.

There's no chair.

I really wish I could have
come in and prepared first.

Sorry. This is the way it works.

Of course.

I only have one and a carbon.

That's all I had time to
do. You'll have to share.

Come on. Just give
it to one of the girls.

Ready when you are.

Women lose weight so they'll
feel good about themselves:

healthier, more attractive.

Rejuvenate has a Latin root

which literally means
"the return of youth."

The Rejuvenator gives
you the flush and glow

not only that you might
have after hours of exercise

but certainly as a young girl.

Isn't it nice to feel that
way whenever you want?

Combined with a sensible diet,

The Rejuvenator.

You'll love the way
it makes you feel.

Look, I'm not going to wait

to see how Don lands on this.

I'm going to tell you it's good.

Nice end run around
the weight loss.

I think it's good, too.
But what does it do?

From what I understand,

it provides the
pleasure of a man

without the man.

[snickering]

We've been replaced?

That's why Mitch's wife
didn't want to take it off.

Oh, I'd love to see her in that.

Oof, she's already
so hot to trot.

4th of July, that gingham halter

with the knot at the bottom?

She was falling out of it.

Jayne Mansfield.

[laughter]

Mitch's wife is very attractive.

Oh, I... I don't know her.

First of all, no Latin.

You sound like a valedictorian.

And the name still isn't right.

Lastly, you still might
need to give us a hint

at what it does.

I could be more explicit.

I was thinking of
calling it stimulating.

I think you need,
like, a code word,

uh, like... I don't know.

Like refreshing.

I'll think about that.

Oh, my God. Freddie,
doesn't your wife have one?

What's your point, Ken?

My point is, didn't
you say she loved it?

That's funny.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Freddie, Sal, you
know what to do here.

I'll get arrested just
doing the layouts.

[Pete laughs]

Now...

that wasn't so bad.

Looks like everybody liked it.

I can tell.

Uh, Freddie's wife
does not look like Mitch's,

you know.

Good work, Pegs.

♪♪ [singing in Spanish]

[knock on door]

Come in.

Mr. Draper, I don't
want to seem ungrateful,

but I think I could
serve Sterling Cooper

and you better as a copywriter

if I had my own desk.

You have a desk.

But now I have radio spots.

Peggy, the
conversation of a raise

is not inappropriate
at this moment,

but do not be timid.

You presented like a
man. Now act like one.

I want $5.00 a week more.

Jesus, what do you make?

$35 a week.

Well, that's a 15% kick.

Don, a word.

Cooper and Draper just
went into Sterling's office.

Tell me when they come
out of there, will you?

Sure. I'll just sit here
and watch the door.

That's all I'll do.

Who the hell do you
think you're talking to?

Is he dead?

No. Quite the opposite.

They let him go
home to convalesce.

And?

I want to make you a partner.

As a symbolic gesture,

I think telling me that
in here is in bad taste.

That's the way it
works. Roger knows that.

I'm not adding your
name to the masthead.

I'm restoring
faith to our clients.

I accept.

I'll start you at 12%

and see how both
you and Roger do.

Of course you'll
remain creative director,

and to fill the position of
head of account services,

you are the only member
of the blue ribbon committee.

Do I hire from
inside or outside?

I just made you partner.
Do I have to do everything?

No contract.

Of course you'd say that.

Beware the nonconformist.

I'm going to introduce
you to Miss Ayn Rand.

I think she'll salivate.

Is he dead?

No.

So when's he coming back?

You know, I think this
office is too big for me.

I might need it if I'm going
to lure in Marty Brennen

as head of account services.

Then it's true. Congratulations.

Thank you. I mean it.

You know I admire your work.

I believe you.

I hope you do.

And I don't think
it can be denied

that we make a very good team.

You know what?

I do like this office.

I think Roger would
want me to have it.

That way he'll always
know he can have it back.

I hope you're aware that I'd
love to throw my hat in the ring.

I am now.

Peggy, we have both
had very good days.

You may leave your post.

It's 4:30.

I'm sorry. That's the
best I can do at this point.

I have work to do.

You can have your raise.

And I'll talk to Miss Holloway

about getting
somebody on your desk

while you attend
to your assignment.

Can I tell her?

Sure.

In the meantime,
go with your friends.

Celebrate.

Good night, Mr. Draper.

Good night.

♪♪ [mellow jazz]

Mr. Draper?

Good night.

Back away from the set.

Come on. You'll
burn your eyes out.

Hi, Daddy.

Uh, I would have
made you dinner,

but I called the office,
and no one answered.

Should I fix something?

No. I was supposed to
have a meeting with a client,

but it got cancelled.

Oh.

I got made partner.

Oh, my God. Don,
that's wonderful.

Don, you were right about
letting people in the house.

I'm so sorry.

I don't want to talk about that.

It'll probably be
