I noticed in the blog software that someone got here by searching for “Don Draper Quotes.”
I’d personally be willing to set up a “Favorite Quotes” page on the blog if people want that. Contribute your own favorites and we’ll get it going.
(I’ll repost this when we have a larger readership, believe me.)

It will be endless. Just Roger Sterling alone will be volumes.

Point.
Plus, I HATE inaccurate quotes. We either get them verbatim or we don’t bother.

The show makes the accuracy easy. As was mentioned in one of them there articles (once I RTWT), one of their techniques to make it feel period is the lack of overlapping dialogue. (No crosstalk, please.) When Slattery delivers a Sterlingism, there’s no slurryness involved.

Okay, that’s hysterical, and I had completely forgotten it. This is why we need a quotes page.

I used it in my blog once. I’m telling you, easily 20% of this show are strong, clear, keepers.
