Mad Men s02e11 Episode Script

The Jet Set

"I lay on my pillow at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel.
"Delicious and destroyed.
"Inhaling the fragrance of the sheets.
"Feeling the warmth of where you were just laying.
"You make me new with laughter.
"You make me old with wisdom.
You make wine taste sweeter.
" Who wrote that? I write a lot of poetry when I'm inspired.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything you do.
You shouldn't.
It's insulting.
I have to keep you in line, or I'll lose you.
Yes, you will.
I don't like the idea of making you older.
I just meant I don't know.
It doesn't matter how old I am.
Our souls are the same age.
Oh, God.
You're getting to me.
How do I know I'm not just going to eat another mushroom and this room will disappear and I'll be back on a train to Trenton? Because I love you, Jane.
This is hard for you.
I know it.
You don't want me to talk about it, but Margaret and Mona have been your life for the last 40 years.
Listen, I'm not being impulsive, because I've been thinking about this all the time.
I want you to be my wife.
What? Marry me.
Roger, are you serious? Will you do that for me? say they play sports.
Most impressive, 80% of the fellas saying "yes" to the question: "Does Right Guard make you feel more confident at work?" Did anyone watch Loretta Young last night? I was supposed to.
What happened? I can't even describe it, it was so awful.
Creative, think old Donnie Draper will mind if we think better on a full stomach? Well, if you'll all swear Gillette dropped in.
Are you kidding? Absolutely.
I'll pretend they're here if you give me some actual ideas.
Right Guard already has a great campaign men being men.
You know, women smell bad, too.
Not you, of course.
Women have perfume.
"Perfume does not fight wetness.
" Loretta Young.
She's my dad's favorite.
The aprons.
The nauseating upholstery on the couch.
Strangers who drop by.
Hear from Kinsey? What do you mean? Did you read what's going on down there? In this day and age.
The papers said it's gonna be Little Rock all over again.
I don't know why people keep stirring up trouble.
It's bad for business.
Just another reason not to watch TV.
Kurt doesn't even have one.
You have to have one.
It's your job.
You're gonna miss the playoff.
It's a different life for single men.
What do you do with your spare time? I like concerts.
I like park.
He saw Bob Dylan at Carnegie Hall.
I heard him on the radio.
So we're not gonna work at all.
Tell Right Guard, short of a new product just for women, we need more research and time.
And lunch.
Can we split a lobster? Does he sound like the album? When you hear him, he plays it himself.
He must be something to see.
I'd love to go sometime.
So go.
Yes, I should.
You will go with me.
What? You would go with me? No.
I don't want to impose if you have plans.
When you hear him, you will smile like this.
Pick you up at 8.
I live in Brooklyn.
It's a hike.
Neighbors.
Joey says that Duck's in the blind.
It's now or never.
This is why I booked a day early.
What did Ricardo in there say? He's in hourly contact with TWA, and they've offered to buy you new luggage.
And fill it with my things? Ricardo recommended a tailor.
Chinese.
And he said they've got a whole shop full of swim trunks.
I brought mine.
There's not gonna be any swimming.
The convention doesn't start for another day.
You want to be the hundredth person to shake someone's hand at some convention? For what, a free pen? We'll follow up face to face.
Forget Santa Monica.
Take your list, target some of these guys, and make them feel special.
Didn't Roger give you leads? He did.
I'm gonna need sunglasses.
Come on.
You want to be on vacation, Pete? Because I can make that happen.
Old-fashioned.
Excuse me.
My friends and I have been speculating about you, trying to decide who you are and what you do.
Why? Are you an actor? No.
Are you an astronaut? No.
Someone over there would like to meet you a young woman only if you are none of these things.
I'm Viscount Monteforte d'Alsace.
- Willy.
- Don.
This is Don.
She's been staring at you all day.
Can't stop talking about you.
I'm Joy.
And this is Rocci.
You look so comfortable alone by the pool all day.
Made me wonder if you're waiting for someone.
I am.
Do you smell that jasmine? Dine with us.
Maybe another time.
That never happens.
Hello.
Pete, this is Joy and Rocci and Viscount Monteforte.
Very good.
D'Alsace.
Willy.
That's quite a name.
Peter Dykeman Campbell.
Have we met somewhere? Newport? I have a terrible memory for faces.
Nice meeting you.
Yes.
A pleasure to meet you.
Look for us.
Everybody here is late for everything.
I just saw Tony Curtis in the men's room.
Handing out towels? Tony Curtis, Don.
A thing like that.
Who's for dinner? Rodney Barnes.
Classic salesman turned executive.
And this interesting scientist, Caleb Sawyer.
He has this Optoman thesis.
In addition to rockets, they're going to start engineering man you know, for travel in space.
New organs, super strength.
You know the Soviets are working on it.
Are all of our meetings like this? It's American Aviation and Rocketdyne.
It's not a joke.
Can I get a drink here or what? The Raphael was a little tired, but the Fifth Arrondissement has most of your good restaurants.
Of course, we kept getting lost, and every time Sherry asked for directions, it turned out to be another American.
Well, there you go.
I'll take Jane to Paris, and I'll send Mona to Reno.
You don't have to marry her, do you? No.
Maybe you and Mona could work out one of those modern arrangements.
George, stop.
It is possible that you'll get tired of her, and then where will you be? Mona doesn't have a right to anything not my company money, not my family money.
She's lucky I'm giving her anything.
And you know what? We've been miserable for years.
I don't want to die with that woman.
Calm down.
I didn't know that.
This is the life I was always meant to have.
Congratulations.
Mona has the marriage license, and she wants to hurt you.
If you want to be with this 20-year-old girl, you're going to have to buy it from her.
I have to warn you.
Women in this situation become extra irrational.
Well, how badly does she want to hurt me? I have a list of conditions and an alimony that could support Rita Hayworth.
Think of all the good things in life and cut them in half.
I want you to push as hard as you can, but I want it done.
Mr.
Phillips is here.
In a minute.
I'll proceed.
But I want you to think about it.
Duck Phillips, this is George Rothman.
Actually, we know each other.
Roger.
It's good to see you, Duck.
Was he for you or against you? He's supposed to be the best.
Him or Marvin Hughes.
That's who Mona has.
He's her cousin.
How bad was it? Do I want to know? I don't think my circumstances were the same as yours.
What can I do for you? Actually, this might not be the best time to talk about this.
Can't you tell I'd welcome a change in subject? Well, good, then.
What the hell, right? Listen, we're coming up on two years together here.
Did you get me something? I think we're at a point in time where I need to know what your plans are.
A partnership.
I think I've earned it.
Right.
I'll bring it up at the next meeting of the partners.
Thank you.
Of course you might have to come in and be an advocate for yourself.
I'd be proud to present my accomplishments.
Good.
Because I'm at a loss.
What is that supposed to mean? You haven't exactly delivered on that 30% you promised.
I think we've really performed in a very dismal year.
These things are cyclical.
You know that.
Is there some question about my value to Sterling Cooper? Just think about the board.
Bert Cooper hates everyone.
And his sister well, she does whatever he says.
Don, he's only 121/2%, but I can't say he's your biggest cheerleader.
What are you saying? Everyone thinks you're a fine fellow.
But if I were you, I'd go out there and make rain.
Thank you for being so candid.
This year we have seen an historic collaboration in American aerospace.
Building on Lockheed's new Polaris A3, Bell Aerosystems, Aerojet General, and NASA have developed a restartable rocket engine.
Can we get the lights, please? We at Space Technology Laboratories have set our minds to the challenges of the future.
In July, Khrushchev said the Soviet Union now has an anti-missile that can hit a fly in outer space.
Space Technology Laboratories is leading a coordinated effort to create an invulnerable warhead multiple, independently targetable reentry vehicles M.
I.
R.
V.
s.
And North American Aviation's vernier thruster allows the primary missile to correct its trajectory before shooting off several warheads hidden inside its nose cone.
The M.
I.
R.
V.
Can be launched from a submarine or land into the stratosphere.
Then it splits off into 14 individual warheads.
That's 14 different targets.
each with ten times the payload of Nagasaki.
Even if Khrushchev hits 35%, that's 5 out of 14.
Secondary strike capabilities will be extremely limited due to the decrease in infrastructure and population.
Total annihilation.
Do you realize that one of these companies spends more annually on media than three Lucky Strikes? It's a gold rush.
Where are the valets? So much for cheap labor.
Go see if General Dynamics beat us here.
Drop these by the front desk.
You don't want them under your arm.
Hello.
I think you're happy to see me.
Well, take a good look.
I have to be on my way.
Are you working? Yes.
That's too bad.
I'm going to Palm Springs.
You should come with me.
I don't know about that.
Why would you deny yourself something you want? You want to get your things? No.
Well.
Why don't we give it a few more minutes? Enjoy the scenery, order some drinks.
I think Don needed to make a phone call.
Hello? Just leave the bags there.
Who lives here? Friends.
They're in Sardinia.
I'm supposed to be in Edward's room.
That's Stephanie in the swimming pool.
And Willy and Rocci you've met.
And there's Greta and her friend Carlos.
I'm surprised to see them in the same place.
Come with me.
Hello, Greta.
Hello, Joy, darling.
Who's this? This is my friend Don.
I'm Carlos Villa Declan.
It's medicinal.
Good-bye, Carlos.
Come for a swim with me? You can go inside and ask for some trunks, or you can go au naturel.
I think I should go inside.
You're white as a sheet.
Don, are you okay? Where am I? You're with me, remember? You have heat exhaustion.
What are you doing? It's fine.
It's medicine.
Klaus is a doctor.
No, it's okay.
I just need some water and some aspirin.
Everybody out.
I thought you were going to break your neck.
Next time you feel faint, lean towards the pool.
See you at dinner.
Little girl, don't get any ideas.
This man needs rest.
I found you some clothes upstairs.
Who are these people? They're friends.
We're nomads together.
What are you all doing here? There's an open door policy.
You should rest up for dinner.
Have you ever had Mexican food? No.
You're gonna like it.
Come out when you're ready.
You're spoiled.
This is great food.
This is Mexican.
I don't like Mexican.
I want to do French again.
We're in Califor Sweetheart.
Mexican does pig.
I don't eat pig.
- I've already told you.
- Okay, well - He's here.
- Don.
Klaus, could you let Don sit here? Would you like some wine, Don? Klaus, is that okay? He looks healthy enough.
You must be hungry.
Everyone, to our guest.
To not being carried out in a box.
So, Don, what's your story? I don't know how to answer that.
Where are you from? New York.
Try this.
It's a pepper filled with cheese.
Darling.
And there's the sauce.
Joy and Willy think that you're a spy.
But your wallet fell out when they carried you inside.
You're in advertising.
Or I'm a really good spy.
You'll never meet a group of people more interested in professions, and yet, there is not one of us here who has one.
I'm a physician.
But you don't work.
So I assume you're all well off.
I should take something up.
I'm smarter than I've ever been in my life.
Not only do I know so much, but my brain is more agile.
I didn't know that was possible.
And my muscles are remembering their skills.
Are you an athlete, Don? I played some football in high school.
Willy was a champion fencer.
I made the Olympic team twice.
Foils.
It's hardly a sport.
Let's play places.
I'll start.
You have to name a place that starts with the last letter of the place that's named.
Kalambaka.
Alaska.
It's not a city.
Amalfi.
Irún.
Naples.
- Stockholm.
- Malagá.
Athens.
Sarajevo.
Oslo.
Wow.
"O" is impossible.
Odessa.
- Orezzo.
- Osaka.
Oakland.
Dunkirk.
Kabul.
London.
- Nice.
- Essen.
Nairobi.
Istanbul.
Lisbon.
Negril.
Lauzon.
How old are you? I'm 21.
How old are you? I'm 36.
You're still warm.
Who are you? I'm Joy.
There's glazed.
Coconut, crullers.
Bismarks.
Who brought these in, Cosgrove? I haven't seen contracts, but this is certainly a good sign.
Gosh, Joan, thank him for me.
We're going to be getting a delivery like this every week, with all the varieties.
Lemonaires.
Are these for us? The spoils of victory.
Excuse me? Our destination.
Okay.
Where are you two going? To the Bob Dylan.
Isn't that interesting? Peggy and Kurt in the Village, oh, my.
Don't be shy.
I think you two are adorable.
What is with this? You think Peggy and I? We do.
I'm homosexual.
I don't think that means what you think it means.
Kurt.
No.
I make love with the man, not the woman.
What? Of course.
Absolutely.
Enjoy the dancing beans.
Did you know about this? He's from Europe.
It's different there.
More for me.
So Kurt is a pervert.
How about that? He certainly had me fooled.
Mr.
Cosgrove, do you want me to invite the girls in? I knew queers existed.
I just don't want to work with them.
What, he's the first homo you ever met in advertising? You think Smitty's in love? Which bathroom does he use? Joan, get the girls in here.
What are you reading? William Faulkner.
I took a survey of American literature.
So you're in school? I was at Pembroke.
Willy has a house in Rhode Island, so it seemed convenient.
Didn't fit.
Is it good? Sex is good.
This book is just okay.
I like sex.
You do, too.
I can tell.
Greta and Carlos are arguing.
I knew they had problems.
Greta has.
Carlos never had any.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Do you hear them in there? The humiliations have been spectacular.
Christian is coming with the children.
I hope you don't mind.
No matter how late I show up, I'm never later than Christian.
Look at him.
You are so beautiful.
You are a brat.
She has her mother's temperament.
That's why you love me.
I make beautiful babies, don't I? I'll see you outside.
That's your father? He doesn't want people to think he's old.
Yes, it's Peter Campbell from Sterling Cooper for Clarence Hastings.
Is there any way we can meet here? I can't drive, and there doesn't seem to be a taxi that will take me to Pasadena.
We can meet by the pool.
Thank you.
How are you two today? Duck Phillips.
Saint John Powell, how are you? Capital, capital.
This is Alec Martin.
Duck Phillips.
By Jove, man, catch up.
I have a bit of a cold.
Well, it's warm already.
It'll open up the passages.
It's warm, or he would have drunk it.
So, how are you finding New York? Brief.
We're going to visit a candy plant for Cadbury.
Then it's fate that I caught you here.
You say fate.
I say another round.
Have mine.
If you're not drinking, what's this about? I keep thinking how I miss doing things your way.
Two years ago, you said you wanted to come here and be with your children.
They're grown.
It's not a good time.
I'm not going to take no for an answer.
I wouldn't expect you to.
You know, if we were hiring, you would be at the top of our list.
That's too bad.
I love you New York ad men.
To our noble profession.
How old are your children? Alec's wife is about to have their first.
Do you think that I have nothing to offer you? No, of course not.
You represent over 20 American companies, doing business in Europe.
I know you want a U.
S.
Presence.
You're wasting your time doing things like digging around here for Cadbury.
And you could make a difference? What if I were to bring you every account at Sterling Cooper? Fully serviced and completely satisfied? What are you talking about? I'm suggesting that you buy Sterling Cooper.
There are very few client conflicts.
All you have to do is change the welcome mat.
I didn't know it was for sale.
Roger Sterling has a 20-year-old fiancée, and his wife's lawyer is not going to leave him a pot to piss in.
Alec, would you excuse us? Did he send you here with a price? Send me here? a lot less than you think, plus a finder's fee.
Two percent.
I want to be in charge of all international business, and I have to be president.
Creative reports to me, or the whole thing falls apart.
Thank you for thinking of us.
To old friends.
Hello.
Did you have any trouble finding me? Neighbors.
Right.
Would you like some wine? Very much.
Listen, in the office, I hope you weren't embarrassed.
No.
It's okay.
It's good.
Well, if you have a man that you'd like to go to the concert with tonight, I completely understand.
Are you not on the trip tonight? I don't know why I pick the wrong boys.
You're drinking sad.
I don't know.
What's wrong with me? You are old style.
No, I'm not.
This is not modern office, a working woman.
What are you talking about? I fix you.
We should leave.
Each time, Bob Dylan is late.
He will not miss us a half hour.
Sit.
Look at me.
I am very good.
Just a trim.
Yes.
For you.
Oh, my God.
It's okay.
It's good.
We're headed to Lyford Cay, Nassau.
Why? It's what we do.
Something about taxes.
It's very different than here.
I think you'd like it.
You'll need a tuxedo.
Will I? You don't need a passport, unless you want to follow us to Capri after.
Stephanie's uncle's an ambassador.
Joy.
My father will take care of you.
He likes having you around.
You're beautiful and you don't talk too much.
I'm not possessive.
You can be with anyone you want.
Hello, Joy.
Who is this? Christian, this is Don.
Bernard and Amelia.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello there.
Did Isabel ring? Why would she? Because I'm sick of her attorneys.
These are my children.
They should be with me.
Are you in Edward's room? You can have it.
Thank you.
As you can see, we're very tired.
Come, Bernard.
You gave away our room? Looks like someone doesn't want to sleep.
Come in.
Joyce seems to have stepped away.
I'm sorry, but Mr.
Crane accidentally opened this.
Thank you, Joan.
My, oh, my.
A case.
They're all there.
I checked.
All the card says is that it's for you.
Well, thank you, Miss Holloway.
Why don't you just take this? As a finder's fee.
A whole bottle? It's the good stuff.
I know.
Thank you.
Anything else? No, thank you.
The town of Oxford is an armed camp, following riots that accompanied the registration of the first Negro in the university's 118-year history.
James H.
Meredith was formally enrolled in the University of Mississippi Hello, all.
How the hell was California? Looks like Draper let you off the leash.
Did you see this? Yes, I did.
Strange, isn't it? Americans are free, in short, to disagree with the law, but not to disobey it.
For any government of laws So, how was it? Spectacular, business-wise, but I don't know that I'd want to live there.
Here.
These are for everybody.
I'd like to see it for myself.
What's wrong with it? The people.
I don't know.
I'm glad to be home.
Has Don checked in? Is he here? No.
I don't think so.
by force, or threat of force, could long deny the commands You look different.
It's my hair.
Right.
Kurt's a homo.
no judge would be sure of his So are you leaving us? No.
So? What, then? What if I told you that the international divisions of General Foods, Bird's Eye, Campbell's Soup, Chevron Oil, Lever Brothers, Hoover, Warner Brothers, Eastern Airlines, and Chrysler can all be part of Sterling Cooper? How is that possible? Saint John Powell, of Putnam, Powell & Lowe, called me the other day.
They want to open up a New York office to deal with their American clients.
They love the idea of just sticking a key in the door at Sterling Cooper.
Really? Is this as solid as American Airlines? I guess you're happy having to scramble on the third tier of this industry, waiting for minor divisions of major companies to drop in your lap.
On the table will be mountains of money, international prestige, a chance at going public, and we don't have to change our name.
I guess we could think about it.
No.
I need to know that you're open to this.
If so, I'm giving them five business days to try to impress us with a price for controlling interest in the agency.
There he is.
There's the man I heard so much about.
Five days to make an offer.
Or you can give me a price, and I'll pass it on.
No.
Let them open the kimono.
Daddy, Daddy, over here! This water's cold.
Stop splashing.
Hello.
It's Dick Whitman.
Yeah.
I'd love to see you.
Soon.
No.
I didn't bring it with me.
Hold on.
I'll see you soon.
