"You know, I got everything I have on my own. It's made me immune to those who complain and cry because they can't." It kicks Don into gear to make it on his own. The rest of the episode is Don making sure he's immune too.
I never thought about it that way but you’re probably right. I also always wondered if Connie would have come along to the new agency if don asked, even though it was clear don was tired of dealing with him.
No one ever "got everything" on their own... Someone can be the primary driver of their success but every single succesful person was somehow helped by the right team, significant other, family upbringing, educators, mentors, initial backers or socio- economic circumstances. Alone you are nothing, together you can be anything

@ not danced to Hilton’s tune and every request. You have to manage expectations and listen to what the client wants or manipulate them to come around. Dons fails miserably. Even let’s Hilton sit in his office chair.
The whole storyline with Don and Connie was one I liked because I saw it in real life many times. A guy who was not in sales spends his life thinking it is an easy thing. Then he has to do it himself and he realizes it is not.
Don was in used car sales before he got to Sterling Cooper. He’s got a bit of understanding of that world. But it’s different than being an account man. A salesman only has to maintain the relationship until the sale is made. An account man has to continuously nurture the relationship for an indefinite length of time. And like Fey said, Don’t only likes the beginnings of things. He doesn’t know how to make relationships last
Well, he had many years of advertising ahead, quite possible he worked with him in some future. His best & biggest ad was in series finale, his career could only get better after that.
There is that exchange in the last season when they go to McCann and Jim hands him a gift and says it it’s from his old buddy Conrad Hilton and dons response is “well that’s never good.”
Don previously did not have a formal contract with Sterling Cooper. But Conrad Hilton asked Sterling Cooper to sign him, otherwise he won’t accept them to make a ln advertising pitch. So Don had to bind himself to Sterling Cooper for a pitch, which Conrad Hilton afterwards rejected because “Don didn’t give him the moon”, although it was an excellent pitch. Now, PPL is selling Sterling Cooper to McCann, which Don never wanted to work for, ever. But now he has a contract and must go to McCann. Contracts bind you to your employer and come with a non-competing clause of at least 5 years - meaning that if you quit, you cant really work anywhere else . You see this in the episode with Duck Philips becoming “head of the company” when PPL buys it : Don is chill, and just leaves the agency and tells them “ let’s talk on Monday”.
@@abc.933 I still don't get it even after I saw the whole series. Did McCann have a competing hotel so he had to leave them for conflict of interest? I do remember McCann was always so big they had to resign accounts. Otherwise I do not see the problem.
She was cut out of her inheritance, sent to an abusive boarding school and built a $300m fortune for herself with TV, music, fragrances & fashion. One of my coworkers met her doing some business for the family, she is a nice gal behind the camera and signed his laptop. People can think what they want but she got the last laugh.
@mikeg2491 to add to that, if I were his descendant I'd be pretty proud to not be anything like his piece of shit ass either. Of course I'm referring to the Mad Men version of Connie, no idea what the real person was like haha
Conrad: "You want it to be one way. But it's the other way."
don got marlo'd
One more thing - price of the brick goin' up.

Don:
“Sssssssshhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttt”.
Read the autobiography of Conrad Hilton " Be My Guest." Fascinating story.

Conrad is lying about getting everything he has on his own. What a nonsense thought.

"What"?! - Donald Draper
Don deserved it. Connie wanted his face on a billboard, dressed like an 'A-Raaab', whilst standing on the moon🌙...
Don was really bad at managing people like this. He’s not an account man.
So what should he have done differently?

Ya! I swing by!
By the way, Don never had an opportunity again with Hilton (he was asked and refused, which doesn't mean it was possible)
He didn’t want to work with him.

Hilton is a diva, plain and simple.
Dons not used to that so was poor at handing this case.
@@kb4903 Don is creative, but Hilton was too self-important to go through accounts. He wanted creative on call 24/7.
Hilton treated Don like how Don treated his affairs.

Don should have said: “Does this have anything to do with the moon“.
Lol 😂@@epicgamesforyou3615
He literally explained why he did that lol
How many women and subordinates did Don do the same? It was great to see his ego brought down a bit frankly
