10:03: Cassius Clay vs. Liston (Um, wasn’t he Mohammed Ali by 1965?)
10:04: Pre-fight steak & cocktails at The Palm (I’m in!)
10:05: “If I wanted to see 2 negroes fight I’d throw a dollar
out my window.” (Oh, Mrs. B…)
10:06: I’m glad you feel free to fail! (Thank you, Don.) And women
don’t buy luggage, Peggy! (Don your emotional luggage is overflowing!)
10:07: Flowers and an (in)decent proposal from Duck: “Come on Peggy—you, me, and Tampax! The train’s leaving and I’m sauced!”
10:08: Grey goosed Duck. And so does Peggy.
10:09: “Peggy, I need you. And all your accounts!”
10:10: “You got a call when you were on the toilet.” Oh, Mrs. B.
10:11: Roger & The Brotherhood of Alcoholics? “We can solve this problem with a flask.” I call Roger as my sponsor!
10:12: Is Peggy wearing a pink construction paper birthday crown? Somebody grab me a bottle of Budweiser from her table.
10:13: Trudy’s craps on Peggy’s birthday, “26 is still young.” Oh Trudy, you’re not only having a child—you’re married to one.
10:14: Did you see Pete’s eyes freak out when Trudy and Peggy come out of the bathroom together?
10:15: “Joan knew exactly what I needed and I got it.” Yes Don, you certainly did. We love Mrs. B!
10:16: “Do you think elves do this?” Peggy wants to slap Don.
10:17: Peggy’s boyfriend has a surprise on top of a surprise! You’re mother!
Commercial Break
10:21: OMG! Roger hanging out with the AA crowd! “Freddie’s sponsor killed a guy with a motorboat! You know you get over something like that? You drink!”
10:22: “Look out your window. Can you see me waving?” I love you Roger!
10:23: “Goodnight Sweetheart.” Don, you do care about Roger!
10:24: “Dammit Peggy I have your whole family here for a surprise dinner!” (If any man said that to me I’d barricade myself in my office!)
10:25: “By the way, your twenty-something years old. It’s time to get over birthdays!” Oh Don, what are you going to tell Peggy next? There’s no Santa Clause???
10:26: Uh-Oh—Peggy’s mom’s pissed. “We’re all here—me, Anita, Jerry, the Roommate…”
10:27: “You used my birthday to get in with people I can’t stand.” I feel your pain Peggy!
10:28: “Here’s a blank piece of paper Don. Create another Glo-Coat.” Uh-oh, here we go Peggy.
10:29: Don: There are no credits in commercials! I give you money, you give me ideas.
Peggy: You never say thank you!
Don: That’s what the money’s for! Every day you should thank me and Jesus Christ for giving you a chance!
(Christ on a cracker, Don. That’s harsh!)
10:30: Crying in the bathroom at work. We’ve all been there at least once!
Commercial (Oh no. Hellman’s has fallen prey to Mad Men spin-off commercials? Lucky for these guys I like them more than I like Miracle Whip, so I’m sticking with Hellman’s. But I still hate these commercials!)
10:33: Was that a mouse scurrying in Don’s office? Is Weiner going David Chase on us and sneaking in obscure mind bending symbolism? Please God, no!
10:34: “Peggy get in here!”
“No (Don)!” Way to grow a pair Peggy! Oops, spoke too soon. There she is in Don’s office.
10:35: Don found Roger’s memoir tape. WAIT! Roger bagged Ida Blackenship who was Burt Cooper’s secretary in 1938? She was perverse??? I need a drink!
10:36: Ida was a hellcat and Burt lost his balls????
10:37: There’s that damn mouse again. Oops, Don reveals to Peggy he grew up on a farm. You mean to tell me the mouse was a literary device used to get Don to open up to Peggy? I hope the mouse got SAG wages.
10:38: Don takes Peggy to a diner for her birthday? We all know what happened the last time Don went to a diner—he brought the waitress home to give her a tip.
10:39: “A man has to be ready to go at any moment.” And if he isn’t I’m sure his wife will help him.
10:40: Did Don just jones Peggy’s French fries?
Commercial
10:44: “Everybody thinks I slept with you to get the job.” Awkward silence.
“It’s not that you’re not cute, you’re cute as hell.” And that’s why you won the CLIO, Don!
10:45: “You don’t want to start giving me morality lessons, do you?” I love Don—he just doesn’t care!
10:46: Peggy hauling Don like a drunken sailor to the…men’s room???
10:47: Don on his knees, Duck on a bender.
10:48: DUCK! Wrong office! That’s Roger’s white post-modern couch you’re about to crap on.
10:49: DUCK DON! Don swings and…misses! Did Don just say “Uncle?”
10:50: Can you give me a drink? (Me too, I can use a drink!)
10:51: Don cradled in Peggy’s lap? Is that in the job description?
10:52: California Dreaming. Anna’s ghost is carrying a suitcase. What’s in that suitcase besides all of Don’s secrets? And by the way, is that a Samsonite?
Commercial
10:56: Anna’s gone.
10:57: Anna donates her body to science and Stephanie gets the house.
10:58: Don opens his suitcase: “Somebody very close to me died. The only person in the world who really knew me.” Yes, Anna knew you were really a Dick, but I think Peggy knows you’re really a Dick too.
10:59: Light’s on, Peggy’s out.
11:00: If those bozos barged into my office and blew a whistle in my ear to wake me up on my office couch I would beat them with a Samsonite. Don’s fresh as a Daisy. How does he do it?
11:01: “Why are you shitting on this?” No Don, that was Duck at about 3 in the morning.
11:02: Open or closed? “Open.” The dawn of a new Don.
