Don Draper’s Culture Shock, round 2

1. It gets how many channels??
2. What do you mean you don’t want to pay for newspaper ads?
3. “I’ve been gone 51 years? Thank God my money was all in good, safe, stable stocks like Pan Am, Woolworth, Lehman Brothers, Schlitz Breweries, Chrysler, Zenith Electronics, and Eastman Kodak.”
4. “We want the models to look sophisticated and glamorous, so cover them in mink or seal coats.”
5. “Who cares what kind of international aid or something that Africa’s getting? I’m not using a condom.”
