Sterling Script Lines - S4: Episode 13
1) Joan, after being promoted without a raise: Well, it's almost an honor.
2) Don, about writing the quitting tobacco letter (and absolutely not referring to anything else in this episode): In my heart, it was an impulse, because I knew what I needed to do to move forward. 3) Ken: I know that every account I have will eventually leave me. Cynthia's my life - my actual life. 4) Megan: Don't be upset. It's just a milkshake. 5) Don: Miss Calvet and I are getting married. Roger: Who the hell is that? 6) Peggy: I signed the first new business since Lucky Strike left, but it's not as important as getting married. Again. 7) Faye: Well, I hope you're very happy, and I hope she knows you only like the beginnings of things. 8) Joan, to Greg: And he's smiling like a fool, like he's the first man who ever married his secretary. 9) Sally: Who's Dick? Don: That's my nickname sometimes. 10) Megan, to Don: I know you have a good heart. You're always trying to be better. |

Things We Should Have Said
- Steve talks about Don liking Megan because she cares for the kids well, and Jenna talks about Don being afraid of Faye's expectation that Don be an adult and face his past, preferring Megan who seems to make his life easier and focus exclusively on his needs. We also talked about Anna's hand in his proposal (the ring, the California setting, Don's karma mentality during the proposal). We didn't explicitly connect that to Don missing a mother figure in his life, who will love him unconditionally, but that is likely a factor in his decision, too.
