you know what? here’s a blank piece of paper why don’t you turn that into glo-coat. are you out of your mind? you gave me twenty ideas and i picked out one of them that was a kernel that became that commercial. so you remember? i do. it was something about a cowboy congratulations. no it was something about a kid locked in a closet because his mother was making him wait for the floor to dry which IS BASICALLY the whole commercial. it’s a kernel. which YOU CHANGED JUST ENOUGH so that it was yours. i changed it into a commercial. what are we going to shoot him in the dark in a CLOSET? that’s the way it works there are no credits on commercials. BUT YOU GOT THE CLIO! it’s YOUR JOB. i give you money you give me ideas. and YOU NEVER say thank YOU. THATS WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR! YOU’RE YOUNG YOU WILL GET YOUR RECOGNITION and honestly it is absolutely ridiculous to be two years into your career and counting your ideas. EVERYTHING to you is an OPPORTUNITY and you should be THANKING ME every morning when you wake up along with JESUS for giving you ANOTHER DAY.

“In the end, the circumstances of this account and this pitch brought three people without families together to break bread and to form their own family, for however brief a moment it lasts. And how perfect that it’s these three, who have passed a bunch of secrets back and forth to each other; whose entire relationships with each other are bound up in their shared secrets and experiences. How is that not a family?” — Tom and Lorenzo on 7.06 “The Strategy” (x)

My helpless male secretary that I scald with hot coffee & blow smoke into his face whenever he is working.

I remember in the audio commentary that Matt Weiner said “You’re wife’s drunk” was the worst possible insult that you could say to another man in the ‘60s.
