- New York City, 1960s. In the Golden Age of advertising, everyone is selling something and nothing is what it seems.
Rachel Menken enters the first season of Mad Men as an ambitious and modern Jewish American businesswoman, looking to transform Menken’s department store into something contemporary, stylish, and innovative. She employs Sterling Cooper, an esteemed ad agency dominated by white men in designer suits, to bring her vision for Menken’s department store into fruition.
Don tries to talk to Rachel a second time after their disappointing meeting. He admits he acted unprofessionally and Rachel immediately accepts his apology. Don changes the subject by grilling Rachel on why she isn't married, and Rachel explains that she finds business to be a thrill, and she doesn't "wear an apron" because she has never been in love. Don explains his philosophy on love and life.
She completely charms Don Draper through her witty banter and brilliance, leading the two of them to engage in a heated affair. This affair eventually, along with a series of other plot-related details, drives Don to ask Rachel to run away with him.
Don in many ways exhibits the thinking of an existentialist - the lack of innate meaning in life is what gives you the freedom to choose. But he also, at times, lets that facade crack, and his view turns nihilistic, as it does in his nylons monologue.
Don is great at constructing meaning, even when - especially when - there isn’t anything there. He invents a story, convinces others it’s the case, then comes to believe it himself. He tells people that something is what they’ve always wanted, even if it never really was.
- You got in trouble, didn't you?
- I shouldn't have lost my temper, and I certainly shouldn't have treated you like anything less than a client.
- Apology accepted.
- So you understand.
- Now I do. It was, uh, refreshing, really. I mean, actually hearing all the things I always assumed people were thinking.
- Well, I'm not really as bad as all that. I was under a lot of pressure. Another account.
- Doesn't really matter.
- No, it doesn't.
- So, without making things worse, can I ask you a personal question?
- Don't you want to get a second drink in me first?
- Why aren't you married?
- Are you asking what's wrong with me?
- It's just that you're a beautiful, educated woman. Don't you think that getting married
and having a family would make you happier than all the headaches that go along with... fighting people like me?
- If I weren't a woman, I would be allowed to ask you the same question. And if I weren't a woman, I wouldn't have to choose between putting on an apron and the thrill of making my father's store what I always thought it should be.
- So that's it. You won't get married because you find business to be a thrill.
- That and... I've never been in love.
- She won't get married because she's never been in love. I think I wrote that once to sell nylons.
- For a lot of people, love isn't just a slogan.
- Oh, you mean love. You mean the big lightning bolt to the heart where you can't eat and you can't work and you just run off and get married and make babies. The reason you haven't felt it is because it doesn't exist. What you call lovewas invented by guys like me to sell nylons.
- Is that right?
- I'm pretty sure about it. You're born alone, and you die alone, and this world just drops a bunch of rules on the top of you to make you forget those facts, but I never forget. I'm living like there's no tomorrow... because there isn't one.
- I don't think I realized it until this moment, but it must be hard being a man, too.
- Excuse me?
- Mr. Draper...
- Don.
- Mr. Draper, I don't know what it is you really believe in, but I do know what it feels like to be out of place, to be disconnected, to see the whole world laid out in front of you the way other people live it. There is something about you that tells me you know it, too.
- I don't know if that's true. You want another drink?
- No. But you can tell your boss that you charmed me.
- So I guess we'll be seeing each other again.
- I'll be back in the office Monday morning, for a real meeting.
- I'd like that.

one of the best scenes in Mad Men. I really miss this show where nothing big happens, you just follow people lives
I was so in love with the way she put him in his place, without even trying. "Mr Draper.." "Don." "...Mr Draper."
Very few women are like that.
@@roninenlightened6350 I've known a couple
the face crack to end all face cracks, she had only met him once and already broke through his steely demeanor to the child thats really in control of him
Rachel was my favorite of Don’s women. Smart, stylish and takes no prisoners
Mine too. Matthew Weiner described her as the one that got away for Don and she was the only one with whom he was truly vulnerable with.
Same
Me too
RACHEL IS AWESOOOME
Why would I want a woman who "takes no prisoners"? Taking no prisoners means killing people instead. I'd rather have a woman who is the exact opposite of Attila the Hun. 🤷🏻♂️
I love how Rachel is this practical and headstrong woman, but she has a soft side and isn’t as cynical as Don. “That and… I’ve never been in love”
She wants to get married just hasn’t found the right guy.
The reason you love Rachel so much is because she doesn't exist. What you call, "Rachel" was invented by guys like Mathew Weiner to sell HBO subscriptions...
@@RaptorFromWeegee God I wish Mad Men was on HBO, just imagine the nudity
Don does not believe In love. He is charmed by her style and Wit. She definitely seems much more mature.
She was in a class all her own, and even Don knew it, the usual cocky confident facade dropped and even he seemed nervous and knew not to trifle with her cause she was way above his bullshit and didn't make the time for it.
She was too mature for him.
Not a question of maturity. I don't think a Don would be attracted to her, just to the billing she'd bring to the firm. He's there to do his job, which means charming her and warming her up.
And lets face it, she's wrong and he's right. He knows what he's doing, otherwise he wouldn't be the epic figure he is. She's arrogant and clueless. She doesn't listen. Raise prices in a Brooklyn department store in 1960, on the assumption that people'll shop there just to spend more, is madness.
Wouldn't be until the 1970s this strategy worked, and then it was Bloomingdales, in Manhattan. Brooklyn would take another 20 years to get hip and to cultivate that mentality.
Now, if it were me, I'd advise the client to keep the buildings art deco grandeur but temporarily use draped fabric over the interior walls to freshen up the look. Then I'd tack on a temporary removable facade on the outside, again, leaving the original facade fully recoverable. I'd steer her away from her high falutten business plan to something that worked.
I'd reassure her that we could switch back to her business plan at a later stage in the market evolution. Of course we all know that ain't go happen until maybe 1983 but in the meantime we still get to keep billing her business up the ying-yang.
@Person1865, I agree and admirable succinctness. My note above may interest you.
Or too smart. She saw through him and he wasn’t used to that.
"it doesn't really matter"
"No it doesn't", with that withering disdain. Perfect
That last thing she says about Don basically sets the theme for the rest of the series. Don doesn’t see the world the way everyone else does and he’s always searching for it, for some meaning and I don’t know that he finds it until that very last episode where he’s meditating and smiles before the camera cuts to the famous Coca Cola ad.
"I dunno what it is you really believe in. But I do know what it feels like to be out of place.. to be disconnected. To see the whole world laid out in front of you the way other people live it. There's something about you that tells me you know it too."
The reason that Don is disconnected is that his whole life is based on a lie and he fears exposure. Maggie/ Rachel is disconnected because she is The Other.
One of the many things that made me love this show...was the style of it. The harkening back, to a time when people took pride in their appearance...when elegance, and style was the rule of the day. And not just the wealthy. My dad(RIP), who was born in 1923, spoke many times, of everyone...rich or not, being dressed appropriately, manners in check, etc. Men, always wore hats(usually fedoras), suits and dress shoes. Women, nice dresses or skirts, hair nicely done, sometimes wearing a hat, very nicely perfumed. Smokers had cigarette cases and nice lighters(Yes, even the non-wealthy), etc. My mother(Also, RIP) used to speak of it as well. She was born in the Bronx, New York in 1930. She became an advertising artist, actually working on Madison Ave. This was her world. She spoke of the same thing that my dad, a guy from East L.A., spoke of. It was a golden era, from the working class to the well to do. They all knew style and elegance.
Rachel upends the Sterling team's strategy for her store, their assumptions about how they can deal with a mere, unknowledgeable woman client, and Don's ego causing him to act like a childish jerk - the smoother than smooth Don Draper. Then, while trying to regain his image and the client, she ultimately up ends Don by pointing to his secret disconnection from the world, saying they share that (but not it's source!), his ultimate unmasking. An astonishingly self possessed and intelligent woman. Why does she find him attractive? He's just a lost little boy covering up with his advertising talent and filling in his non personhood with dead end affairs.
The first time I watched this scene between Rachel and Don, the dialogue gave me the chills. I was really in awe and impressed with Mad Men’s writer, producer, and director Matthew Hoffman Weiner. This was the scene that really got me hooked on this series.
Its main theme was about identity, which I felt was the most prevalent one as I continued to watch, along with masculinity and femininity and so much more. There was just so many nuances and richness to this series. Mad Men and Breaking Bad are the only two series that I can re-watch multiple times.
Don Draper’s cynical views on love:
“The reason why you haven’t felt it is because it doesn’t exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons. You’re born alone and you die alone, and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts, but I never forget.”
Rachel Menken (my favorite of Don’s women and I love what she says here simply because it really resonated with me and I’m sure to others as well):
“I don’t think I realized it until this moment, but it must be hard being a man, too. I don’t know what it is you really believe in, but I do know what it feels like to be out of place, to be disconnected, to see the whole world laid out in front of you the way other people live it. There’s something about you that tells me you know it too.”
And what was that ?
I dont want to be the cinical one but he is right! Love is just a slogan for money
thank you for this post. high quality mad men clips are lacking on yt.
thank u i appreciate this recap
This woman is incredibly attractive. I love how she smokes her cigarettes!
All the better to ash out her shell fish with.
I met Maggie a few years ago. She’s a force of nature.
now I wanna watch
you really should
So have I misunderstood this scene or does he try to impress her by playing cool and cynical and telling her how love doesn't exist. And she doesn't buy the act. And he's kind of shocked she's too smart for it.
Yup, you got it
You have partially misunderstood the scene, Don was not just playing it cool. He meant what he said here; he's fully aware that you are born alone and you die alone.
I know Don had too many affairs and a big womanizer, but honestly Rachel is the perfect fit for Don, even though I think Joan with such a strong personality would make a good match with him, but Rachel is the one
Too bad she died randomly. I was mad af when I thought she was gonna make another appearance in season 7 then they wrote off her off as dead......VERY disappointing
@@tayetiwoni Rachel's untimely death made perfect sense. Especially when you integrate it within the context of this particular scene. You see, although Rachel's life was short, it was full of love and meaning -because she chose to believe in love. She married a good man and had two children -and as her sister said at her shiva - she had everything. She died fulfilled -surrounded by her family.
Don, meanwhile, continues to be adrift and he will linger on without a family, without roots, and without fulfillment. He destroyed every opportunity he had to give and receive real love. Don's life is the real tragedy -not Rachel's death.
@@lauramorgan27 I'm late to this party. But you explained this perfectly.
I was definitely born too late. One of my favorite things about MM is the fashions of the time. The women all looked so elegant and beautiful, something that we don't see today. I love watching the scenes with Rachel for this reason. One of the most beautiful women on the show, and she was the perfect fit for Don.
So true ppl had standards back then
Nah, Don was poison. She deserved better
The 1960s would have been a great time, as long as you’re white, male, straight, able bodied and have either looks or money. Otherwise, you’re screwed.
That look 0:45 breathtaking
2:28 "I'm living like there's no tomorrow." Jewish "theology" is vague on the aspect of heaven and even vaguer on hell. So the corollary is - Carpe Diem.. even though that is in fact Latin.
I'd bet Weiner wrote Don's lines or someone like him. I used Theology in parenthesis because that word is more closely associated with the RCs or the Anglican church. No hidden meanings. Don does the hidden meanings.

@@harrisonfreund7845 Comment read. I came on on Don and Mad Men about 2020 only. I find him and it a breath of fresh air in crappy US acting.
Please be more careful landing your aeroplane or perhaps you have handed in your pilot's licence.

@@harrisonfreund7845 For real life Jewish life with no theology watch the Markel case trials in Sth Florida . She's a shocker.
The Society Page has done a number of takes on events on Ytube. Particularly "The Conversation " but also one featuring the famous Donna Adelson call to the FBI agent where she denies everything...

Thank you for this scene. I have no access to HBO so the only other D and R scene I've viewed is the Zionism one, which I really love. I know most about Don through the Dick Whitman chronicles - It's lucky someone put that together.
Rewatching Mad Men. Disregarding the antiquated grandpa decor it's truly one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
Disregarding? Disagree!
@@beauty_will_save_the_world YEah, right?! I think that decor is timeless and always elegant. Maybe if you're from like Grand Rapids you'd think that. Pretty sure that resturant is 'El Morocco', a top night club from Repeal though to the grand and glorious 80s!
I assume that by the decor you mean the look of the Sterling Cooper offices which I believe most people were bowled over by because of its cinematographic, technicolor modern look, the cutting edge of that period. My beef is that that visual impressiveness, like advertising itself, is made to impress and is a key aspect of how the show Mad Men was made to impress the viewing audience. I found it predictable. It WOULD have been revelatory if it had been made in 1970.
I thought it was to sell diamonds
LOVE her look at 02:32
I
Liked
Her❤
Episode…?
Is this 'El Morroco'? Sure looks like it with that zebra paper on the walls. Oh, and what does she mean by, "a real meeting"?
Jax Tellers old lady
“What you call love was invented by guys like me” 🤌🏽
