...but in her office she finds just what she needs to cheer her up -- a vase full of pink carnations. Smiling, she reads the card...
...and then calls Duck, who's apparently at home. She's happy he remembered her birthday, and he asks if she opened the present that came with it, which she proceeds to do, and it's a business card for "Phillips-Olson Advertising," with Peggy's name and title of Creative Director underneath. She's a bit stunned, and he tells her that while they'll need another partner, he wants to form his own agency with her at the Creative helm, and he's had some under-the-table but promising talks with Tampax, "plus that queer at Belle Jolie's been barking up my tree." Don't know if that means the "queer" came out or if Duck just reads him as such, but either way I hope Sal thought to go there for a job. Peggy asks where she's calling him, which...did he put a number on the card with the flowers? I guess she always used to call him at Grey, so I suppose that makes sense. Ignore me. Anyway, Duck says he's in his home office, and Peggy wonders if that means he already gave Grey his notice, but Duck, who by the way has a drink in hand and is sweaty and stumbled over at least one sentence that I heard, tells her he's not "wasting [his] talents" over there anymore, and "believe me, it was mutual." Wow. I wonder if he actually said the words "You can't fire me, I quit!" Or some slurry variation thereof.
