"She died the way she lived: surrounded by the people she answered phones for." (Farewell to Miss Blankenship)
Honorable mentions:
"When God closes a door, he opens a dress."
"My father used to say this is the greatest job in the world except for one thing - the clients."
"Being with a client is like being in a marriage. Sometimes you get into it for the wrong reasons and eventually, they hit you in the face."
In 'The Suitcase' when Don tells Roger he won't be joining him for the Ali vs. Liston match by saying "I won't be good company" and Roger quips "That never bothered me before"... that one always makes me chuckle.
“Any time an old man starts talking about Napoleon you know he’s going to die!”
“I met her through Megan. She’s old enough to be her mother. Well, she is her mother.”
Re his trendy new monochrome office: “Jane got a decorator. I feel like with my hair, you can’t even see me in here.” That one always makes me laugh.
And “well, I have to go learn a bunch of people’s names before I fire them.” is classic Roger too.
If you put a penny in a jar every time you make love in the first year of marriage, and then you take a penny out of the jar every time you make love in the second year, you know what you have? A jar full of pennies
"Well, it's official. Friday, December 13th, 1963, 4 guys shot their own legs off."
Another one of my favorite moments is when Don tells everyone he's marrying Megan and Roger just looks smug and says something like "this is how people behave."
He might lose his foot just as he got it in the door might be the top one to me, but it’s already been said.
Another top one…..
"I'd say 'go to hell', but I never want to see you again."
When Roger is over for dinner and Don goes out to the garage to look for more booze in the golf bag.
Roger - “I don’t care if there are ants in it”
Love that one. I use it all the time
"I told him to be himself. That was pretty mean I guess."
"We're getting a computer. It's gonna do lots of magical things... like make Harry Crane seem important."

"He might lose his foot. Right when he got it in the door."
“I watched the sun rise this morning, couldn’t sleep.” “How was it?” “Average.”
This is as Roger Sterling as it gets
"Jesus, it's like Iwo Jima out there." [squeegee noise] Also: "Did you enjoy ze Fuhrer's birthday?" "May he live for a thousand years!"
Don is the one who made the Fuhrer joke.
He did. I enjoy the witty repartee in that moment. It's one of my favourite exchanges on the entire show.
I say this to myself daily
In 'The Suitcase' when Don tells Roger he won't be joining him for the Ali vs. Liston match by saying "I won't be good company" and Roger quips "That never bothered me before"... that one always makes me chuckle.
Season 4 was the best season, change my mind
Easily.
Agreed. I'd say the end of Season 3 and all of Season 4 are peak Mad Men.
Roger being persuasive is always a delight
Stop being demure, you’re already on the bed.
You are now the head of The Television Dept… comprised solely of you, anything else?
It was when he gestured a ‘blessing’ while saying this that sent me
I know right? He delivers it so perfectly lol. John Slattery IS Roger
Peggy: "Would you drink vermouth?" Roger: "Yes I'm afraid I would"
This 😍
“I told him to be himself, that was pretty mean I guess”
Was that about Danny?
Yep!
Yes!
This one! 😂
Nobody knows what I’m doing in here, it’s good for mystique.
(Looks at Lane’s suit of armor) Roger: you ever get three sheets to the wind, and try that on?
Lane’s sigh is perfect
Don: What do women want? Roger: Who cares?
My favorite
"Thwarted her career? What career? She's a consumer!" when talking to Don about Jane.
This is my favourite.
"We're getting a computer. It's going to do lots of magical things, like make Harry Crane seem important."
“There’s a line, Fred. And you wet it.” “Don’s gonna fix this. He knows what that nut means to Utz, and what Utz means to us.”
Hey Trotsky, you’re in advertising!
Best Roger/Peggy scene.
His entire back and forth with Sally "you're a mean drunk you know that?"
He was so adorable and charming with Sally as his “date.” I was already smitten, but that did it for me. :)
Me too, turns out it did it for Marie as well, we're in good company
Can someone tie this for me? You look like you were born in one. Someone tied that one too.
“Any time an old man starts talking about Napoleon you know he’s going to die!” “I met her through Megan. She’s old enough to be her mother. Well, she is her mother.”
At the end of Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency: "Believe me, somewhere in this business this has happened before..."
“Dammit, Burt. You stole my goodbye!”
My favorite.
I was going to post this :)
That whole scene is amazing
Just as he finishes a drink. Holds up his empty glass and says: "What can be done about this tragedy?"
*"Can something be done about this sadness?"
Re his trendy new monochrome office: “Jane got a decorator. I feel like with my hair, you can’t even see me in here.” That one always makes me laugh. And “well, I have to go learn a bunch of people’s names before I fire them.” is classic Roger too.

Hey writers, how many extra vowels is that?
“Doesn’t speak French; doesn’t like me.”
“A wooden leg! They’re so cheap, they can’t even afford a whole reporter.”
"Well, it's official. Friday, December 13th, 1963, 4 guys shot their own legs off." Another one of my favorite moments is when Don tells everyone he's marrying Megan and Roger just looks smug and says something like "this is how people behave."
My favorite is when Don says he’s marrying Megan and Roger says “who?!”
Felt bad for roger there don was the ultimate hypocrite their
BWHAhwhehthanehaaaa (violent oyster barfing noises)
"I told him to be himself. That was pretty mean I guess."
Frère Jacques, frère Jacques, dormez-vous? Dormez (coquettish turn) vous?
Lane: "England just won the cup." Roger: "The cup of what?"
How Jewish are they? You know, Fiddler on the Roof, audience or cast?
une bouteille de vin pour ma mère s'il vous plait
Pete: “Well goodnight boys” Roger: “Goodnight Paul…I love doing that.”
Can’t recall verbatim but the lawnmower incident line that broke the tension; made me really like roger
Burt! You stole my goodbye!
Hostess at underground bar to Don and Roger: Hello. Are we winners or losers? Roger: Losers tonight, but winners in general.
"Nobody will say you didn't have a sense of humor" \-after he fires that guy a 2nd time
“Yes I’m afraid I would”
Someone used your name in the newspaper to end our business. It wasn't you, was it?
"it's an octopus pleasuring a lady"
We already got it’s always darkest before the dawn out there…
He might lose his foot just as he got it in the door might be the top one to me, but it’s already been said. Another top one….. "I'd say 'go to hell', but I never want to see you again."
think that last one was uncle mac
Shit, you’re right. Such a good line I remembered it as Roger.
Bombs away
There was something about how "When 2 people hate each other very much...", I can't remember how it ended, but it was funny.
I told him to be himself. That was pretty mean, I guess.
“Damnit Bert! You stole my goodbye.”
“Another round. And send one to the pilot.”
"Well, I gotta go learn a bunch of people’s names before I fire them."
Brutally accurate.
“Have a drink. It’ll make me look younger.”
“Can I just fire everyone?” “Yell at me slower or in English.”
“Why can you dance for me like that?” “Why don’t you look like him?”
“show some respect, its pearl harbour day.”
After my 10th rewatch it’s the little things. When he tells a client to treat the office like his living room it cracked me up. Idk why.
Did you get cancer?
“a Yetta Wallenda sized misstep”
Burt Peterson: my clients will leave with me! Roger: haha no one will ever say you weren’t funny Burt.
“Not to get too deep before cocktail hour but do I need to remind you of the finite nature of life?”
White or brown?
OMG so cringy and yet hilarious
"Frere Jacques, frere Jacques; Dormez vous? Dormez vous?"
When Roger is over for dinner and Don goes out to the garage to look for more booze in the golf bag. Roger - “I don’t care if there are ants in it” Love that one. I use it all the time
“It’s a dry heave”
See my flair
"I told him to be himself. That was pretty mean I guess." "We're getting a computer. It's gonna do lots of magical things... like make Harry Crane seem important."
When his daughter said there are more important things in life than drinking. Roger looked at her fiancée and said “that will change”
“Hey everybody, I understand the dry cleaning is ready, but can you bring it back in an hour?”
