Stan and his beard march through the office to a room marked "Private," into which they disappear as spy-caper music plays, and Ginzo wonders if they could get this clock with a camera in it he saw on a spy show into the room. The older lady, about whom I'll point out we STILL KNOW NOTHING after four episodes, doesn't look up as she notes that getting into the room would sort of obviate the need for the clock, but Ginzo is undeterred by such cold logic as he goes on that he's guessing the secrecy is for a military account. "And I would guess they picked Stan because he has no conscience." Hee. Benson wonders what "Project K" could possibly refer to, and given that he was the only one of these guys present at the initial meeting with Ketchup, it's a little slow of him not to figure out what "K" might stand for here.
After a little Ginzo paranoia, Don enters and stays for as long as he can stand being in Ginzo's and Benson's combined presence; one and one-quarter seconds later, he's opening Stan's door to find him smoking a joint. A little unprofessional, perhaps, but the beard kind of makes it obligatory. He offers it to Don, who at first gives that face of his most people reserve for staring down stubborn eight-year-olds, but when Stan assures him it "clears the cobwebs," Don surprisingly relents. I should clarify that I'm not surprised at the fact of it, just that I'd think Don would share my philosophy that pot is nothing but mental cobwebs. To back me up, Stan and Don stoned-speak about whether a hot dog takes ketchup or mustard for like ten seconds, and then Stan is like, "I think we should order lunch." Hee. The appropriate giggling fit ensues...
...while, in less hilarious parts of SCDP, Scarlett comes into the break room and, sniffing the air, notes to Dawn, "Someone's having a party and didn't invite us." Dawn smiles that she doesn't know what she might mean, before taking the card out of Scarlett's hand and wondering if it's "Clara's" birthday. Scarlett clarifies that it's the next day before adding that it's two dollars a head and inviting Dawn to come. Dawn begs off, however, saying Don always needs her, and if her schedule is such that she can never attend straight-after-work social events, it might not entirely be race's fault that she's not meeting anyone downtown. Scarlett asks Dawn if she could punch her out when she leaves, and Dawn balks for a moment, but agrees. Oh, Dawn. At least tell her that there may come a day when you ask for a favor from her.
