Season 3, episode 1: “Out of Town.” Originally aired August 16th, 2009.
Another marker of comparison for a character, this time for Pete Campbell. During Mad Men’s run, Vincent Kartheiser’s Pete Campbell struggled with his overwhelming desire for what he didn’t or couldn’t have, but felt like he rightly deserved. This line is particularly momentous when we consider where Pete ends up in the series’s finale: climbing aboard a Learjet with Trudy (with whom he repaired his once-broken marriage) and daughter Tammy, off to build a new life thanks to an illustrious job. So many good things all at once.
