Trivia
During a 2012 interview on the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," Matthew Weiner told Gross that when Glen goes into the bathroom and interrupts Betty, it was definitely not an accident. Weiner said, "He went in there to see her. He went in there to see her and that's why he stood there and she had to chase him out." Weiner also told Gross that while discussing the scene beforehand with the actor who plays Glen (Marten Weiner, who is also Matthew Weiner's son), Matthew told Marten that deliberately walking into a bathroom to look at an adult woman on whom he had a crush was something he had actually done as a child, and Marten said, "Daddy, you're weird."

Goofs
At various stages of the discussion between Peter Campbell and his wife regarding the purchase of their co-op apartment, they discuss down payments and mortgages. In 1960, the buyer would have been expected to pay the total amount up front for a co-op.

Quotes
[Don Draper pours a drink]
Roger Sterling: I bet daily friendship with that bottle attracts more people to advertising than any salary you could dream of.
Don Draper: That's why I got in.
Roger Sterling: So enjoy it.
Don Draper: [drinks] I'm doing my best here.
Roger Sterling: [scoffs] No, you're not. You don't know how to drink. Your whole generation, you drink for the wrong reasons. My generation we drink because it's good. Because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar. Because we deserve it. We drink because it's what men do.
