- Sterling: What are you doing tonight?
-Peggy: I don't know. What did you have in mind?
- Sterling: Are you drunk? Get your feet off that desk. I need you to work up something for Mohawk.
-Peggy: Oh, I'm sorry. For Mohawk, your "man" is Ginsberg.
- Sterling: Let's say you were to do this for me, and on Monday you explain to Ginsberg and Campbell that I asked you to... Only I asked you sometime last week.
-Peggy: Do you have a brief? Did Ginsberg have a brief?
- Sterling: I never told Ginsberg, okay? You have to remember that. You know about the airline strike, right?
-Peggy: Yes. Why is Mohawk still flying?
- Sterling: Because even though all the other mechanics are on strike... They need more wrenches or something. ...Mohawk's mechanics have a side deal, so they have to keep working.
-Peggy: They must love that.
- Sterling: Yeah, well, they're going to love the overtime. American Airlines is taking everything big and giving their northeast corridor to Mohawk.
-Peggy: So what do you want? How about something like, "Mohawk, breaking the strike one flight at a time"? Or maybe, "Fly over the picket line with Mohawk"?
- Sterling: Hey, Trotsky, you're in advertising.
-Peggy: Fine. So what's the angle?
- Sterling: Campbell or I had this idea that it would be something about, you know, how times are tough and you can't get anywhere. So thank God, Mohawk is offering emergency service.
-Peggy: You don't want to use the word "emergency" with an airplane.
- Sterling: I don't want to do any of this. I'll see you Monday.
-Peggy: Hold on a second. You want me to work up an entire corporate image campaign for $10?
- Sterling: I can make you do it for nothing. I'm the boss.
-Peggy: You're right. The work is $10, the lie is extra.
- Sterling: Incredible. What do you make a week, sweetheart?
-Peggy: You don't know, huh? That's helpful.
- Sterling: You know, I could fire you.
-Peggy: Great. There are some portfolios in Joan's office. Maybe you could find somebody tonight.
- Sterling: Why are you doing this to me?
-Peggy: Because you're being very demanding for someone who has no other choice.
- Sterling: Dazzle me.
-Peggy: Fine.
- Sterling: How much you want?
-Peggy: How much you got?
- Sterling: $400.
-Peggy: Give me all of it.
- Sterling: Jesus!It better be good.
-Peggy: Do you want me to take your watch?
