Season 4, episode 11: “Chinese Wall.” Originally aired October 3rd, 2010.
A classic from Christina Hendricks’s character Joan Harris, said to John Slattery’s Roger Sterling. This line is perhaps one of Mad Men’s most popular, being quoted by people who have yet to watch an episode, demonstrating the power of these words. Up until this point (and even in instances afterward), others had treated Joan as an object that would heal them, one they could turn to after they’d been thrown into tumult. She put her foot down and gave us this treat, as if to say, “I’m a person, not an object. Remember that.”
