Vincent Kartheiser: Pete Campbell

Quotes 

• Pete Campbell : I feel like I shouldn't even bring this up. In fact, I don't know how to bring this up, but we're going to lose Jaguar unless an arrangement is made; and it involves you and, well... Herb.

  Joan Harris : How did that come up?

  Pete Campbell : He said he was crazy about you, and then he just asked. And then I thought we were past it, but, right before we put him in a cab, he said it again. And it was quite conditional: a night with you or no vote.

  Joan Harris : Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

  Pete Campbell : Anyway, if you can think of some way to break the news to the company that we're out of this, I'd really appreciate it.

  Joan Harris : You're unbelievable. I'm married. How would you feel if someone asked Trudy?

  Pete Campbell : I didn't bring this up. He did. If you're not interested in the idea at all, I appreciate... It's just, it seems to me that there's something that could be worth the sacrifice. We're talking about a night in your life. We've all had nights in our lives where we've made mistakes for free.

  Joan Harris : You're talking about prostitution.

  Pete Campbell : I'm talking about business at a very high level. Do you consider Cleopatra a prostitute?

  Joan Harris : Where do you get this stuff?

  Pete Campbell : She was a queen. What would it take to make you a queen?

• Pete Campbell : I've seen the campaign, and it's something I couldn't have imagined yet exactly what I expected.

  Don Draper : Thank you.

  Pete Campbell : And I want you to present in the fullest confidence.

  Don Draper : I think it's a winner.

  Pete Campbell : Well, all I wanted to say was we've removed all other impediments. But you do know no matter what else goes on, it's the creative that's going to win this.

  [smirks] 

  Don Draper : Close the door.

  Pete Campbell : It was four to zero. You abstained in absentia. The conversation doesn't end just because you leave the room.

  Don Draper : What did you promise her?

  Pete Campbell : A five percent stake as a voting partner.

  Don Draper : Dawn, can you buzz Mrs. Harris?

  Pete Campbell : She's not here.

  Don Draper : Actually, Dawn, can you get my things?

  [packs up his belongings] 

  Pete Campbell : Yes, you should be well rested.

  Don Draper : I don't want it like this.

  Pete Campbell : It was her idea.
