Sterling Script Lines - S4: Episode 13
1) Pauline, to Betty: Don't you want to get back into that incredible closet of yours? It'll be easy for you. You're just one of those girls.
2) Roger, about hiring a copywriter for Mohawk: This is going to be my account, so I don't want just some hack. He should be brilliant and have awards. Bring me a good-looking version of Don. Peggy: That'll be easy. 3) Stan, about hiring from an interesting portfolio: Stick to mediocre. You'll sleep better. 4) Ginsberg: I have no hobbies, no friends; I will live here. Peggy: Then you're just like everyone else. Ginsberg: I've never heard that. 5) Peggy: You know, your book really does have a voice. Ginsberg: That's what they said about Mein Kampf: That kid really does have a voice. 6) Roger: Define crazy for a copywriter. Sleeps all day, disrespects authority, smells like pee? Peggy, indignantly: Who smells like pee? 7) Harry, eating 20 White Castle sliders: Eat first. That's my recommendation to people who say they're getting married. 8) Megan, when Don tries to get out of socializing: You went to that concert last night, but suddenly it's too overwhelming when we're supposed to see my friends. 9) Roger, to Don: When is everything going to get back to normal? 10) Megan, to Don about Betty: She just needs to have something to call you about. |

Things We Should Have Said
- We see a lot about Pete's discontent and Betty's discontent again this season, but didn't explicitly compare the two of them in that way. They also both seem still tied to wanting Don Draper's approval.
