Everyone forgets the point of this scene. It's not about how cool Don Draper is steamrolling a meeting and making a highhanded pitch. It's about how much he's changed and how far he's fallen. When he pitched lucky strike, happiness was "a billboard on the side of the street screaming with reassurance that whatever you're doing is okay, you are okay". But here, happiness is just "a moment before you want more happiness". If all of Don's pitches always come from a personal place, then this speaks volumes about how joyless his own life has become. A good setup for the series' ultimate conclusion.

"What is happiness? It's a moment before you need more happiness." This quote can be applied to Draper's lifetime struggles as well. He is never satisfied and is always chasing that momentary happiness. Untill he accepted who he was and where he came from, he will always be that moment away from needing more happiness. His empty consumerism lifestyle does not fulfill him. His multiple marriages to beautiful women never fulfilled him. Those were mere artifacts designed so he can hop from momentary bliss to momentary bliss. This was his hidden conflict in life coming up as a sales pitch.

Dismissing the letter was the key to it all. Don had to get out of his own head. Everyone gaslit him into thinking he made some huge mistake but there wasn't really anything wrong with it. He just forgot how retarded everyone else in his industry can be. Happens in a lot of business environments.

"'You're happy with your agency?' You're not happy with anything" I think that line hits hard on anybody. It's a great technique Don uses because it connects a deep emotion of unsatisfaction with your life as a whole (which I guarantee almost everybody has) with something that's not necesarily related (the agency). It makes you think that if you're really not happy overall, "I'm happy with my agency" sounds fake. And if I said something I now find to be fake, ah... I might have a problem with my agency.

That line is hamfisted. It demands the audience suspend their disbelief. It's good for character formation of Draper, but it jars with the plot and literal events on the screen. It's a poor repetition of the carousel metaphor, which was profound. The show ran out of steam very quickly, and this is the result. It became a parody.

@@Mr___X How is that hamfisted? He told the truth and hit the guys were it counts. They may shrug you off for the afternoon but when they run the numbers or have their shareholder meeting those words will come right back around and you realize you need someone like Don in your corner. Corporate America is based on a flawed model of infinite growth with limited resources. Anyone working for a corporation is a slave to this model and he laid it all at their feet.

​@@Mr___X Sure, its fiction and a show for entertainment. The writers are going to crank things beyond normal reality but the principals he was addressing were still real. Don knew his back was against the wall so he threw a Hail Mary to get the client from a competitor. He had nothing to lose so he hit it hard and gave them something to think about. This is how people talked back then. Look at this real footage of NYC Union negotiations and tell me Mad Men can be painted with the same brush as the rehash comic book garbage Marvel puts out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ipqfyrVqgpunYrQ.html

@@Mr___X This is complete nonsense. This scene (and the season as a whole) has nothing to do with the earlier seasons and especially the carousel pitch. Don has changed a lot by this point and so have the people around him. He had grown frustrated and his life is in pieces. The writing in the later seasons didn't get much worse at all. The show just changed. Comparing it to Marvel is just completely idiotic and ridiculous and only shows that you're not being genuine.

Jon Hamm is great as Don Draper. I’d buy whatever he’s selling, especially Jon Hamm’s John Ham.

My favorite Roger Stirling line to Don is, "No used to make you hard." Insulting and inspiring in ONE fell swoop.

When Don and Roger team up, no one in business can stop them from getting an account.

Greatest show ever

The entire pitch, he's talking about himself. He's never happy. Even when he is, it's not for long. He wants everything, all of it. But it's never enough to make him happy.

I love how Don leaves on his terms, rather than wait to be shown out.

So handsome!

NEVER seen this show aside from "how to deal with something employee" clip.. I see these seasons at Goodwill all the time & i think im going starty watching it. Draper is a beast!

Advertising is based on one thing - happines.

You cut it before the 'wipe that blood off your mouth' comment!

Matthew Weiner created Don Draper and "Mad Men" by imagining what would Cary Grant from the movie "North By Northwest" be like in his day-to-day regular job?

The glare he gave to the marketing director at the end was hilarious

He used the same spiel to woo them away from their faithful agency partner that he uses on married women: you're on the back burner, they take you for granted.

With all his many character flaws, one thing everyone has to acknowledge is that Don Draper can sell. Anything to anyone.

Don never let’s someone adjourn a meeting. He sets the tone and the pace and cuts them off before they say “thank you for your time.”

“What is happiness? It’s a moment before you need more happiness”. Happiness - The Cure for the Common Happiness.

@@byronmann4525 Don't worry. I was just playing with words totally unrelated to your rapper thing. I've always thought they chose the name of the character very carefully to make the connection that Don Draper is a kind of Don Juan type of womanizer but also that he has a darker streak in him. Draper = The Raper.

that is the cinematic expression of the theory of differential accumulation.
