Another alpha male power move from Don, not going into the conference room to face the music from the others, instead forcing them to come into his office to whine about it and show their desperation.
Pete was right though - when Don was getting the award in the Codfish Ball, he was told there that nobody wanted to do business with him because he stabbed a client in the back.
Lights a smoke, then proceed to gaslight a room filed with his co-owners. A hypocrite and a narcissist in the light of day, but if it makes money everything is forgiven.
it takes balls of fcking steal to write something like that and have it printed in the newspaper. a back-handed insult to an industry of whose key market share players literally kept SCDP afloat for so long. and, though it has been mentioned before in the comments, the mention of Emmerson Foote in this scene is absolutely brilliant. God damn. Mad Men was just so well written.
His personal money, not the company's. He gets progressively richer as the show goes on. First season he signs over a check for 5k on a whim, last season it's a million dollars.
Pay very close to how Roger Sterling is reading the room. When Don was getting out of line he told him off, but when the others were firing up he was in bomb defusal mode. He was paying attention to and tempering everyone's mood from start to finish. Superb accounts man.
Always surprised me that they put Don on leave for his Hershey's meltdown but not this. Yes it worked out in the end to be for their benefit but it was a betrayal of trust to the other partners that he didn't at least run it by them

What does Muhammad and Michael Jackson have in common? They are both pedophiles. Hahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha They locked up John Gotti, but not Michael Jackson. Think about it.
"something needed to be done" -- a true statement that is often the rationale for stupidity and yet sometimes is the rationale for brilliance. For Don's character it seems he wandered into brilliance.
Bert’s face at the end cracks me up, it’s a strange fusion between indignation and amazement.
They keep smoking all the time.
The exact moment Don became Jerry Maguire.
The New York Times? Wasn't that founded in 2007? Yuuge historical error by the writers.
This really was the Golden Age of TV

In real life Don would have been fired for doing this.
Did Jerry McQuire steal this idea?
Man it's wild seeing Megan as his secretary.

That Kennedy prank was hilarious!!! Was not expecting it 😂😂
Explain to me why he wasn't fired.
"Woke" mad men.
You are not.
"so no one is happy about this?" "I dunno... it's good not to be the reason this place went down anymore" hahahahaha
This was Don Draper's Jerry Maguire moment.
I love how pissed Roger is reading the letter lol
Pinnacle of writing

Weird how Campbell gets away with utterly shitting on Draper. I wonder why.
A full page in the NY Times was a "big buy". He spent that money without approval?

I love the detail that while he’s writing a letter denouncing the cigarette companies, he is…you guest it…smoking a cigarette.
Cut off just in time so we wouldn't be subjected to the sophomoric humor of CGC.
3:25 Bert: "You humiliated us" Also Bert: "I'm just going go ahead and blackmail you with the information I have on you."

I found it super smug how Henry was reading Don's article in Don's house. He let Betty totally cuck him at first
TURN UP THE VOLUME
Dons firing of Lane was justified. Lane was the controller and embezzled funds by forging signatures, that’s a no no in that line of work
Why I’m quitting Tobacco.. lights a cigarette 😂
Yet he's still smoking ...
Don - the selfish prick
That is the real Ad.... He did what was best for the company.Hate him or not.LOL
This is a bold decision he made
The scene after this🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the greatest written scene in television history and no one can convince me otherwise.
Emerson Foote reference!
Can u please allow the subtitles youtube provides?

If he ran it by the partners they would have killed it. This was the only way.
Why would you end this scene right before it got good
Why is all the clips of mad men on youtube in shit quality? No other shows is like this, unless its from 1985

This was the moment Dick Whitman became Heisenberg
and he's still smoking hahaha

Boomer sound

This letter had new meaning for Don after Betty gets lung cancer from smoking.
wHAT?????
I can't hear it the sound level is too low.
Ok but I really wanted to hear the RFK prank call
