Bri West, which comment are you disagreeing with?

The first line is a straightforward business transaction - which demonstrates the fact that Peggy has evolved.

The second (watch) line is retrograde, something a whore would use. This line only serves to reinforce the notion that all women are essentially whores.

The question is, which responce would any woman truly wish to be known for having employed in THAT precise moment?

Peggy is being induced/coerced (FORCED) to cover for one man (Roger - her boss) and do the work of another man (Ginsberg). She's smart enough to figure out she's in a fairly powerful negotiating position.

Roger acceeds reluctantly to her BUSINESS proposal. Roger pushes his luck. Peggy delivers a line (designed by writers) purely for comedic value.

The lesson here is:

We can be entertained by simple comedic one liners designed to reinforce misogynistic stereotypes, or we can celebrate the evolution of a much loved, though somewhat awkward character from "mouse" via "Cinderella" and the deal making classic "Go Get it Gal" - a new invention at that time.

Personally, I like to fool myself that not all women are capable of acting like whores, and credit the smart calculation as the line to applaud...;)

But I stopped watching TV soon after this. Why? Because of scenes like this with their inbuilt duality of meaning and intent - which one can possibly only truly recognise for what they really are, after six years of TV free rehab.

What I love about Roger is how he doesn't hold a grudge against Peggy. Yeah he's pissed but also rather impressed in the way she hustled him out of $400. "Do you want me to take your watch??" I about lost it at that point, freaking HILARIOUS.

Edward Pate

It was more than 400 hundred. He started counting and then stopped and said 400 thinking that was high enough and Peggy immediately said "give me all of it" taking the 400 and whatever rest was there in his hands that he didn't kept counting.

A J

37w↑1

@uafc1 I never noticed that! Such a good detail and so clear now you've pointed it out. His expression when he says the 400 has an air of deception to it and that's why he reacts so sharply to her asking for it all! He knows she bested him lol

In this scene, when Roger walks in, he asks Peggy what she’s doing tonight. She has her feet on the desk, and in a funny, play-flirty way, she answers, “Why? What did you have in mind.” He yells, “Are you drunk? Get your feet off the desk.” Without any embarrassment, she just takes her feet off the desk, and they have this conversation... and she gets the best of him. So much confidence, as opposed to the FIRST season when Don is standing at Peggy’s desk, and Roger walks over to them and asks the same thing. Peggy answers in that weird voice she had then, “Just working and then going home.” Roger basically laughs at her, and says, “I’ll give you that one sweetheart, but I was talking to Don.” She seemed embarrassed, as anyone would be. But I love the comparison to those clips. She changed so much that she went from not being able to speak up for herself, to saying “dazzle me” and taking all Rogers money and threatening to take his watch. This show is the epitome of perfection. I still binge watch it even though it’s been off the air for several years.

@Ms. Twelve_Deadly_Cyns And complaining of income inequality when they get paid the same for the same work (they just don't do the same work as a cohort that males do, so measuring the entire male and female cohorts against each other isn't a good measure)

Curran Frank

4y↑122

@WatcherFall The 70% wage gap is slightly misleading, because that's mostly due to women and men being in different job fields. Plus if a woman has a child that'll reduce her hours. However, there's still a gender gap between men and women for the same work. Studies have been done that show there's still a wage gap of around 7%, meaning women make 93% of what men make for the same work. That's still a wage gap, and not a negligible one. Not to mention, while much of the differences in pay come down to different job fields, I think that's still something that should be addressed. It's concerning to me how many STEM fields are dominated by white men.

Philosopher Penguin

4y↑52

@WatcherFall That's part of the issue people are pointing to when people mention income equality. It's the fact that traditionally male jobs are still really difficult for women to break into comparatively and so they still work the jobs that are 'acceptable' for women to work. The issue is better now than it was in, say, the fifties, but it's still enough of a problem that on average the average pay between men and women is still different. People aren't saying, "Pay women the same for the same work" most of the time (though there are positions where this is a problem). They're saying, "Let women work the same jobs as men without the stigma."

Twelve_Deadly_Cyns what? You’re acting like it’s a hobby for women to hurt each other or something. Sure women hurt each other sometimes but men do it just as much lol, it’s called being human and being competitive or even downright aggressive at times

Funny thing is, if you watch the interviews with Weiner about the creative process that went into this show, you'd know the dialogue in this 128 second scene probably took a roomful of show writers 3 hours to contrive. That's why it's so damn good. I'm not even insulting the people who made this; I wish ALL the shows on TV had writers that were so thorough.

People saying she would be fired in real life are missing the fact that she's doing his dirty work and also that she's got connection with Don. Also she can definitely get another job at a rival corp. And they both knew that. So she called his bluff. Plus firing someone for not doing something unethical is....well unethical. Ball is in her court.

Dr. TJ Eckleburg

She and Roger had a history too. She's a valuable long-term employee who's well respected at the firm. Nobody was going to fire her, least of all Roger. He knows he's being unreasonable and respects the fact that she's playing hardball with him. He just wants his work done quietly. The humor is in the theater of it. It's hilarious because you know there's no real peril to either character.

When you're in the business of doing lots of deals, you never put all your cash in one pocket.

What does make Roger stand out, amid all the office and personal drama, is that he has always been sharp-focused on his clients and the business. Not proving anything to anybody, being able to win or lose an argument as long as it was good for business. That’s what mattered and made him cool.

I love how Peggy holds her own with Roger here. He's annoyed and exasperated, but she still wins.

It makes sense that rather then being mad about it, Roger seems genuinely amused when Peggy hustles him out of $400.00. In a much earlier episode when she asks for her own office, he calls her aggressive and she starts to apologize. Roger says “I like it. There are thirty men out there who didn’t have enough balls to ask”.

This girl deserves an emmy just for this scene.

This is the best scene of all the episodes. And when she keeps backing him down and standing up to him every time he brings up he's the boss, etc., and she just throws it back at him, and then scares him so much that she might not do it and he just throws $400 at her which was probably a month's pay for her back then. AND HER BEST COMEBACK WAS THREATENING HIM THAT SHE'LL TAKE HIS WATCH OFF OF HIM IF HE DOESN'T BACK OFF AND SHUT UP, THAT WAS THE SILVER LINING ON THE WHOLE SCENE.

This is truly one of the greatest scenes on Mad Men; the 'Wheel Pitch' is still my favorite, but there you go. Somebody else said it best. "Don taught you well, Peggy." :D Remember when she asked for her first raise in season 1?

"and it's not "the wheel; it's the carousel"...

"The Wheel" is the official name of the episode. The carousel is the name of the product on the episode.

A high school buddy of mine's Dad worked at Eastman Kodak. He had one of those damn Carousels. He would always make us sit thru presentations of vacations !!
the picture show was always good, but he spent WAY TOO MUCH time on the talking.

I was looking for “Peggy’s best lines.” Rewatching and she is so hilarious. When Ted waits for her at her home he says he told her neighbors he was a cop.
“You should leave before they kill you.”

When Don sabotaged Ted by getting him drunk in front of creative.
“He can’t drink like you. You know that because no one can.”
😂

Random hippie dude: "How do you sleep at night?"
Don: "On a bed made of money."
-Actual best line ever

Or "Hey there's cops outside you can't go out there!" and Dons like "You can't"

For all the people that forgot that Peggy and Roger had a magical scene earlier in series. So good together.

Great writing. This is why the writing and the writers need more credit. The delivery was great, but it's the writers who really need the credit.

I died laughing during the one epidode where I think it was a season finale , so they are going through each character , showing them reflecting on their current point in life , and it flashes to Peggy just chillin at home by herself , she looks out the window and all you see is 2 dogs humping each other 😭😂😂😭

It just felt like such a serious moment , and that just caught me so offguard lmfao , not a quote, but that had to be my favorite moment

Niiles Punkari

The best line is the "last" scene (in season 7), where the random guy at the rehab talks about his dream of living inside a fridge, and asking (begging) to be picked-up/chosen just like all the other products inside the fridge. Heavy stuff.

I always loved Coopers lines when when he says “she was born in a barn, and she died on the top floor of a skyscraper, she’s an astronaut” (it’s been years, so I can’t remember the exact words)

Laura Malek

Yes, the writers gave Bert Cooper quite a few classic lines as well.

Cynthia Goldstein

Loved the scene where Don and Roger wanted to get Pete fired but Bert explains that doing so would disrupt the balance of New York society because Pete's old money family could prevent Sterling Cooper from getting more business from other old money corporate families. Bert waxes poetic about how New York is a finely tuned watch with levers and gears...

"Boo hoo they need more wrenches or something."

Roger was my favourite character of Mad Men. He knew what he was and didn't care.

Der Brandmeister

I like it when people know their value and don't sell themselves short. Great scene.

Random but, I absolutely loved the moment they had towards the end when they got bought out and he was singing and playing the keyboard/organ while she was skating. 💫

I think the best line in this is "Hey, Trotsky, you're in advertising."

Lootroq

9y↑33

Henry Cobb I know who Trotsky is but I don't enough about him to get the joke. Could you explain?

Henry Cobb

9y↑204

Lootroq He was a communist leader. Roger says "Hey Trotsky, you're in advertising" in response to Peggy making jokes about how the workers are right for picketing (the opinion that Trotsky would likely have of the situation, favoring the workers).

Lootroq

9y↑27

Henry Cobb Stupid me, I know Trotsky was a communist leader, but I wasn't thinking of the workers. too much Schlitz's maybe?

Haha, yeah. To be honest, I've been seeing more and more of this type of interaction on Youtube lately - even people admitting when they were wrong or mistaken. It's nice to see Youtube maturing

Great, great, great scene. "They need more wrenches. Boo-hoo." I love both these actors.

Amy Corrigan

I watched MM back when it came out and liked it and her, but now I'm halfway through The Handmaids Tale and wow, what a talent. Amazing performances.

Stiltzy

"Boo-hoo, they need more wrenches or something."

Hilariously brutal, Roger could do stand-up crowd work even today.

Melinda Douglas

I love Peggy! She had him just where she wanted him!
