‘I Have What Is Rather Disappointing News!!’
Sunday Evening Brings The Almost-Last MAD MEN Of 2009!!



I am – Hercules!!


Last week Betty confronted Don with the Dick Draper Drawer and Suzanne began her long walk home.

As the Draper kids were trick or treating, Lee Harvey Oswald was about to begin his third week at the Texas Schoolbook Depository.

The Beatles arrived at JFK Feb. 7, 1964.

“What am I supposed to do, Don?? Am I supposed to keep it from them??”

“I have to ask this, but did you lose your temper??”

“Come on, creative!! Be creative!!”

“Everything you do is for her!!”

“If they wanted to fire you they’d have fired you!!”

“What are you doing here??”

“Bert Cooper still has a say around here!!”

Tonight and next week:

3.12 "The Grown-Ups"
Don meets with a candidate; Peggy second guesses her taste in men; Pete makes a big decision.

3.13 "Shut the Door and Have a Seat"
Don has a meeting with Connie; Betty gets some advice; Pete talks to his clients.

10 p.m. Sunday. AMC.
