Episode Quotes

Karen Ericson: Everyone on the first floor loved your humourous ad. You seem like someone I could really be friends with, not like the last girl.
Peggy Olson: [awkwardly] Well, I'm fun! And I love to have... fun.
Karen Ericson: She was always keeping her door shut, and I think you should only close your door for one reason.
Peggy Olson: What's that? [Karen smiles and raises her eyebrows] Oh!
Karen Ericson: I just don't get along with women like I do men, but she left to get married, so I must be some kind of good-luck charm. Do you have a steady?
Peggy Olson: No, I- I'm still playing the field.
Karen Ericson: There are so many interesting men out there. Except sailors. I have a couple of rules. One of them is I don't like sailors.
Peggy Olson: [confused] No sailors, I agree.
Karen Ericson: So Peggy Olson, I have to ask: are you Swedish? Because I am.
Peggy Olson: [apologetically] Norwegian.
Karen Ericson: Well, we won't tell my parents. I'll make appointments and come by at five. Or do you want your girl to do it?
Peggy Olson: I finish up around six.
Karen Ericson: Well, then tomorrow?
Peggy Olson: Most days. Can we look on Saturday? Oh, but not this Saturday, I...
Karen Ericson: You work on Saturday?
Peggy Olson: Not every Saturday. And Saturday nights, never. I'm out in the city... ready for fun...
Ken Cosgrove: Don, George Caan dropped out of Patio to direct a picture in L.A.
Don Draper: I look forward to his average work. Replace him.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (factual errors): Grandpa Gene is rummaging through his WWI memorabilia and tells Bobby how he shot a German soldier in the head and kept his helmet as a souvenir. However, the helmet is the old style Prussian helmet (Pickelhaube) with the spike on top. These helmets were quickly found to be ineffective and by the time the US entered the war, these helmets had been replaced with steel helmets, so it's not something the German soldier would have been wearing.

Trivia

  • Action takes place on June 11th, 1963, the day a Buddhist monk set himself on fire performing a ritual suicide in protest against governmental anti-Buddhist policies, and the two days before.
