Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe first of two episodes in a row that refer to the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). This episode is titled "The Monolith"; a large black monolith plays an important (if mysterious) role in the plot of 2001. And in the next episode, "The Runaways," Ginsberg spies Lou and Jim talking in the glassed-in computer room which is staged like the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) where HAL reads the lips of the astronauts, right down to the rapid pan of the camera between the two sets of silently-moving lips.
- GoofsLloyd knocks on Don's door to ask for a light while Don is on his couch reading, and he tucks his book in between the cushions such that it is barely visible. When Lloyd sits down, the book has moved upwards and when he stands up to leave, it has moved back down but not quite as far as where it started.
- Quotes
Don Draper: I want my job back.
Fred Rumsen: How the hell do you think that's going to happen when you're at the bottom of a bottle? You know you never have to have another drink again.
Don Draper: I don't want to hear that right now.
Fred Rumsen: You're hungover. It's the best time to hear it.
[short pause]
Fred Rumsen: I mean, are you just going to kill yourself? Give them what they want? Or go in your bedroom, get in uniform, fix your bayonet, and hit the parade?
[short pause]
Fred Rumsen: Do the work Don.
