Mad Men2007

Michael Ginsberg:
I know I'm not a manager but it's very hard to get things done with you in another room.

Don Draper:
Well, I obviously have the opposite feeling.

Michael Ginsberg:
Permission to speak freely?

Don Draper:
What?

Michael Ginsberg:
I know you forbid us from thinking of the mistress but I kept imagining the a**hole who's gonna want this car, and how he's probably already got a lot of beautiful things...

Don Draper:
Or maybe he thinks the car will help him get them.

Michael Ginsberg:
So I can go on?... And one way or another, what he has isn't enough, so no matter what, the first idea has gotta be, "Finally!", like you're getting what you wanted. The copy is still describing the car as another woman, but a woman you can't have, because they have all the qualities of a Jaguar. Good looking, expensive, fast, and frankly, not practical.

Don Draper:
I've always been fine with all that. But what's the line?

Michael Ginsberg:
Jaguar... at last, something beautiful you can truly own.

[Don looks down for a moment, then laughs with Ginsberg in mutual reprieve]
