[tps_header] “It’s a mistake to be conspicuously happy.” [/tps_header]
Season 3, episode 3: “My Old Kentucky Home.” Originally aired August 30th, 2009.
Sage words from Roger Sterling, the man who once searched for happiness in younger women, the bottom of liquor bottles, and the spiritual journeys he went on while high on LSD. Don follows this proclamation with, “No one thinks you’re happy. They think you’re foolish.” This line encompasses the time in which Roger filled a void with artificial love and all things grandiose, distinguishing it as the place he can compare his life to later when he really is happy – in a Parisian cafe with Marie Calvet, the woman with whom he finally got it right.
