Sterling Script Lines - S5: Episode 1

1) Roger, to Caroline: Joan's not here and you just took fifty dollars from me, so let your conscience be your guide.

2) Joan, to her mother: A ten? Are you buying his formula or yours?

3) Megan: You've never seen me throw a party. Everyone's going to go home and have sex.

4) Raymond: Ken, I thought you said there was going to be a bite and smile on the phone.
Ken: I think I said there was going to be a bean ballet, Raymond.

5) Ken: Did you crash with Mohawk?
Pete: No, it was perfect except for my deep nausea and impending headache. Roger made an appearance.

6) Peggy, about Don: I don't recognize that man. He's kind and patient.

7) Stan's cousin, as Abe, Stan, and Bert have an increasingly graphic conversation about the war at Megan's party: I thought there would be girls here.

8) Roger: I know. You wonder what they're laughing about. It's not you.

9) Roger: Why don't you sing like that?
Jane: Why don't you look like him?

Things We Should Have Said

•  Steve mentions that Pete is the only partner in the office focused on work. He talked about Lane as also being focused, but that part was cut for time.
• We didn't shout out Peggy's meme-able "It's June 1st" line when Megan talks about Don's birthday, and how Peggy continues to prioritize work over social obligations (she reveals she hasn't gotten Megan and Don a wedding present, much less thought ahead to a birthday present for Don).
  
• Jenna had allergies while recording this episode and we're sorry she sounds fuzzy!
