Ken, Harry, and Sal approach Don's secretary, and Ken somewhat apprehensively asks what kind of mood Don's in. The girl, just as nervously, replies, "I'm never right." Heh. Don then opens the door and asks if he needs a coat, and his tone of voice doesn't exactly suggest he's in an Ann-Margret-like mood, which makes it all the tougher on Ken to break the news that the planned director for the Patio commercial dropped out and left them high and dry. After asking what Ken would have done if the need to fire the director had arisen and getting a "Durr, hadn't thought of that" fly-catching expression in response, Don tells him to have Sal do it, as it's a single-shot endeavor for which Sal did the storyboards. "I could go on, but I don't think I should have to." And there's the Don Draper single-sentence life philosophy I've been searching for. He leaves, and Sal restrains himself from acting out the storyboards in delight. For now, at least.
