Mad Men at the Movies 1.2

Sharing the movie references in Mad Men episodes just for fun, love of trivia, open discussions and occasional enlightenment.

1.2 "Ladies Room"

Paul: [conducting a tour of the office] Account Management: Where prep schoolers skip arm in arm a la The Wizard of Oz, joined together by their lack of skill and their love of mirrors. Account executives are all good at something ...although it's never advertising.

[Pointing to an office. In Rod Sterling voice] Submitted for your approval, one Peter Campbell, a man who recently discovered that the only place for his hand is in your pocket.

Do you watch it?!? Have you seen it, The Twilight Zone?

Peggy Olson: I don't think so. I don't like science fiction.

The image of account executives skipping like pig-tailed girls from Kansas makes me smile. And speaking of pig-tailed girls... OF COURSE Peggy doesn't like science fiction. Is there anyone on the show more focused on reality as is? I mean apart from her temporary break from it.
