Sterling Script Lines - S1: Episode 11
1) Fred, about Peggy writing for a second product: Maybe lightning will strike twice.
2) Peggy Olson, about the weight loss product: You definitely feel something that I think some women would like to feel. 3) Don Draper, to Peggy: Peggy, just think about it deeply, then forget it, and an idea will jump up in your face. 4) Rachel's sister to Rachel: All I know is what I see in the movies. It's magical, and he talks about leaving his wife, and he doesn't. I saw this one where he gets the woman pregnant so he kills her. You don't want to be that woman. 5) Don, to Betty: Do you have any idea what could have happened? Betty, to Don: I could have bought an air conditioner. 6) Roger, coming in to re-assure Lucky Strike: I shall be both dog and pony. 7) Roger, to Joan: I want to tell you something because you're very dear to me, and I want you to understand this comes from the bottom of my damaged, damaged heart. 8) Mona Sterling: I used to think you couldn't put a value on a human life. But I never asked Bert Cooper, did I? 9) Peggy Olson, to her date: Those people in Manhattan? They are better than us. Because they want things they haven't seen. 10) Pete Campbell, to Hildy: Cooper and Draper just went into office. Tell me when they come out. Hildy: Sure. I'll just sit here and watch the door. That's all I'll do. |

Things We Should Have Said
- The Relax-a-cizor was a real device, and apparently, it was hazardous to your health
- We notice that Peggy named the "weight loss" device the "Rejuvenator," and while she and Don are getting promoted at work, other attempts at rejuvenation (Betty's love life, Roger's health, Roger and Joan's relationship, the Lucky Strike account) aren't working so successfully
