• Sal Romano: Should we drink before the meeting or after? Or both?
  • Don Draper: Advertising is a very small world, and when you do something like malign the reputation of a girl from the steno pool on her first day, you make it even smaller. Keep it up, and even if you do get my job, you'll never run this place.
  • Joan Holloway: You and your boss rely on the willing and cheerful cooperation of a few skilled employees. Never snap, yell, or be sarcastic with them. And above all, always be a supplicant.
  • Lee Garner, Sr.: Manipulation of the media? Hell, that's what I pay you for.
  • Don Draper: Advertising is based on one thing: Happiness. And you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams with reassurance that whatever you're doing...it's okay. You are okay.
    • Don Draper: She won't get married because she's never been in love.' I think I wrote that to sell nylons.
    • Rachel Menken: For a lot of people, love isn't just a slogan.
    • Don Draper: On, you mean love. You mean the big lightning bolt to the heart where you can't eat and you can't work and you just run off and get married and make babies. The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons.
    • Rachel Menken: Is that right?
    • Don Draper: I'm pretty sure about it. You're born alone, and you die alone, and this world just drops a bunch of rules on you to make you forget those facts, but I never forget. I'm living like there's no tomorrow...because there isn't one.
    • Rachel Menken: I don't think I realized it until this moment, but it must be hard being a man, too.
