Mad Men: A Horse By Any Other Name…
With only three episodes of Mad Men left this season, the writers are pulling out all the stops. Not only does Bitty know about Don’s past, she makes him confess everything. Well, everything except the fact that he’s still sleeping with Thally’s teacher. And what’s up with Roger not sleeping with his old girlfriend? Has he really turned over a new leaf? 19-year-old girls will do that to an old guy. Allegedly. Plus Joan returns from the Republic of Dress.
“Tho then I thaid thereth no way that a boy ith ever going to thick hith thingie inthide me. Thath juth groth!”
“The girl has a point. I wouldn’t let a boy stick his thingie in me either.”
“We’re going on a pony ride!”
“Don’t leave The Draper hangin’ .”
“They call cow, beef. They call chicken, poultry. I want a new name for horsemeat.”
“How about ‘Roger’?”
“Still sleeping with all your secretaries?”
“Whatever, Catherine the Great. At least I stay within my own species.”
“God, you fuck ONE horse and you’re a horsefucker for life.”
“I very much would enjoy being hired as the rapist.”
“That’s ‘therapist’ Greg.”
“Goddammit.”
“I could just put you in a pot and boil you alive.”
“Bitty’s going to be gone for a few days, so why don’t we go away someplace romantic. Like my pants!”
“Roger, I need a job. Greg’s rape career isn’t going as well as we’d hoped. He’s lucky to make two to three rapes a week right now.”
“I have a client who has a thing for horses. How does Greg feel about riding crops?”
“Yes, my balls have dropped. Why does everyone keep asking me that?”
“My husband Don is a real Dick.”
“Unfortunately, being a dick isn’t grounds for divorce in this state.”
“No, I mean his name isn’t Don. It’s Dick.”
“Have you tried just calling him Richard? Or maybe Rick? That’s what I’d tell my daughter to do.”
“So, remind me again why we broke up?”
“Because you were terribly self-involved and immature. By the way, how’s your teenage wife?”
“You don’t know what it’s like, Joannie, to plan for something your entire life and then have it not work out. You’re just a secretary who’s dreamed of marrying a doctor since she was a little girl.”
“You have no idea what I’m going through right now.”
“Boy, the dogs really seem to love horsemeat.”
“They’re not the only ones.”
“Jesus, it was just that one time. And that horse meant NOTHING to me.”
“Peekaboo!”
“Hello Dick.”
“Thtop it Mommy. Dickth are groth!”
“Open the drawer, Dick.”
“You’re the reason I drink.”
“I suppose I’m the reason you screw around so much, too?”
“Well, now that you mention it…”
“So what now…?”
“What now? Let me tell you what now. I’m going to call a couple of hard, pipe-hitting Norwegians, who’ll go to work on you with a Husquvarna chainsaw and some hot whale blubber. Do you hear me talking, hillbilly boy? I’m not through with you by a damn sight. I’m going to get Nordic on your ass.”
“I was born a poor black child…”
“This is Uncle Mack. He loved the three F’s: food, fun and fisting.”
“This is my brother. He killed himself a couple years ago. Good times.”
“Great news, Joan. I joined the Army. I’ll be a surgeon, and I’ll get to rape as many gooks as I want!”
“Greg, that’s wonderful. Now BOTH of your dreams are coming true.”
“How’s Annie? How’s Annie? How’s Annie?”
“Listen, I got caught, so I can’t see you anymore.”
“Dick.”
“What? Oops.”
“Our mom is totally passive-aggressive, so she made us dress up as a hobo and a gypsy to punish our father, who’s been living under an assumed name to hide the fact that he grew up dirt poor and his mother was a whore. Trick or treat!”
“And who are you supposed to be?”
“The president!”

“What? Oops.”
Hahah that shit never gets old. Nice work, cg.
This is one of the all time best episodes of any show, ever.
I can’t stop thinking about it. Like candy. And handcuffs.
Comment #1 on 10.29.09 at 3:34 pmTechnically Don’s name is CutOffHisDick.
Bets was Du är underbar.
I loved that Sally wanted a store bought Halloween costume and Don told her they were cheap & plastic. Hummmm. Cheap & Plastic sounds like your life DICK.!
cg – the shows timeline is only a couple of weeks away from JFK in Dallas, do you think they will work it into the show or skip over it?

Comment #2 on 10.29.09 at 5:39 pm“And what’s up with Roger not sleeping with his old girlfriend? Has he really turned over a new leaf?” I suspect that if she’d been 25 rather than 50, Roger’s response would have been different.
“I was born a poor black child…” MARVELOUS!
