Mad Men S3E9 Wee Small Hours episode time stamps:

00:00 Introduction

01:24 "I want what I want when I want it."

Conrad Hilton, Baby Gene, and Betty's fainting couch fantasies

04:33 "I'm going home. And the whole point is to run there."

Don finds Suzanne in the early morning, Martin Luther King Junior's I Have a Dream speech, and which pieces of history societies enjoy remembering or prefer to suppress

14:30 The first time Don ever got to work early

15:08 An old-fashioned letter-writing romance

17:51 "Give me more ideas to reject. I can't do this all by myself."

20:18 Sal directs the Lucky Strike TV commercial

We compare whether Conrad Hilton or Lee Garner Junior is the bigger bully

24:21 Don goes looking for Suzanne; it's the first day of school

27:58 Lee Garner Junior proves he is the bigger bully

32:29 Letter-writing and Lies, with a side of wine

36:53 "I can't work with him. He's no good."

We beg to differ, Lee Garner Junior. #JusticeForSal

Also, "I'm not going to do anything stupid like I usually do."

#YouAbsolutelyWill,Harry

40:24 "You're like a son to me."

47:02 "I wanted to see you. I drove past your exit a dozen times."

49:04 This Lucky Strike meeting is somehow worse than the one when Roger had a heart attack

50:51 Every time we watch, we hope this scene goes differently

1:00:50 Don, we're hosting a fundraiser

1:02:26 "Good night, boss."

1:03:03 Let's have a fundraiser

1:03:37 "How do you say fresh towels in Farsi? Hilton."

But the lesser bully wanted the moon.

1:09:03 "I'm actually the person who briefs Mr. Francis."

When the guest speaker takes the fun out of your fundraiser

1:15:52 "What do you think accounts does? Besides limit your brilliance."

"I'd tell you, but I don't want to hurt your feelings."

1:17:41 "Maybe it's not supposed to happen right now."

1:21:18 Sal has a genuine conversation with Kitty and lives happily ever after with Elliot from Belle Jolie. He definitely doesn't just call Kitty from a pay phone near Central Park. And he starts his own firm, "where copy follows art, not the other way round," and gets everything he ever wanted. That's what should have happened.

1:22:33 "You only want this because I'm new and different. I know how this ends."

1:24:12 Closing song, Episode Wrap-up, and Listener Shout-out
