Sterling Script Lines - S1: Episode 13
1) Betty, to Don: I don't understand why you can't make my family your family.
2) Don: Bringing in business is the key to your salary, status, and self-worth. 3) Peggy: What we are selling is confidence - a better you. That woman isn't a better anything. 4) Peggy: It was my idea. 5) Peggy: Go in there and console her, and after you make plans or whatever, call Rita - that older lady you liked? She's probably at home with the Relax-A-Cizor right now. 6) Bert: That's it, Cowboy. 7) Harry: I thought it was like someone reaching through stone, right to us. 'I was here.' 8) Glen: I'm not really sure how long twenty minutes is. 9) Betty: I suppose it means I'm not enough. But maybe it - it's just him. 10) Don: In Greek nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It's a twinge on your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn't a spaceship. It's a time machine. It goes backward and forward - takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called the wheel. It's called the carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels: round and around, and back home again. To a place where we know we are loved. |

Things We Should Have Said
- SPOILER!!
We didn't explicitly point out that Pete expresses that he is not ready to support a child with Trudy in the same episode that his child is born (Peggy being even less ready to support it) - The third woman auditioning for the radio spot (not Rita or Annie) is one of the writing interns on Mad Men
- Betty comparing herself to an ostrich when she talks to Dr. Wayne is another bird reference with women this season (Don calls Betty "Birdie" as a pet name, Roger gives Joan a caged bird to encourage her to get her own apartment, Fred compares the brainstorming secretaries to chickens, Betty shoots at the neighbors' pigeons as she "defends" her children)
