Episode Report Card Couch Baron: A- | 3 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT It's A Man's World

Don is sitting and waiting by Midge's door when she comes stumbling in, noting that it's eleven in the morning. "Did you get fired?" Please. Society may have a death wish, but Sterling Cooper doesn't. Don tells her that he brought Betty in to see the doctor, but he himself isn't feeling so great, and called in sick. Midge tells him not to talk to her about Betty. "It makes me feel cruel." So you probably don't want to hear about her meltdown at dinner, I'm thinking. Don stands and accedes to her request, and then offers, "I can't decide if you have everything, or nothing." And that is exactly why you are living in both these worlds. Midge, emboldened, says she lives in the moment, and after kissing him, adds, "Nothing is everything." Existential philosophy does tend to make more sense on no sleep. Midge then says that she lost her key, and asks Don if he would be a gentleman and break in through the fire escape so she doesn't have to. Don stares at her, and then wordlessly hands her his hat. Heh.
