Vulture has a complete list of quotes from Mad Men’s Roger Sterling. Roger, played by John Slattery, is my favorite character on the show because he adds sharp wit and dry humor to every scene he’s in. I’ve selected a few of my favorites below.
(Mona: Margaret’s run away.) “To where? Bergdorf’s?” (S7, E4)
(On his California trip) “It was a series of busts, and not the kind I like.” (S6, E11)
(Danny Siegel: I know these lugs from my days in advertising.) “More like a day, wasn’t it?” (S6, E11)
“Sunkist, Carnation, the avocado people: My biggest job in these meetings is to keep them from saying ‘golly’ too many times.” (S6, E11)
“I’m afraid she left everything to the zoo. She’s making them name the animals … Her will looked like a manifest from Noah’s Ark.” (S6, E2)
“As a wise man once said, the only thing worse than not getting what you want is someone else getting it.” (S5, E1)
(Don: “I’ll buy you lunch.”) “I’m stuffed. I had a jar of olives.” (S4, E6)
(Paul Kinsey: “He might lose his foot.”) “Right when he got it in the door.” (S3, E6)
“Last time Freddy Rumsen had a cup of coffee, it was one of five being poured down his throat by a cop.” (S2, E1)
“Look, we’ve got oysters Rockefeller, beef Wellington, napoleons. We leave this lunch alone, it’ll take over Europe.” (S1, E6)
“I’ll tell you what brilliance in advertising is: 99 cents. Somebody thought of that.” (S1, E3)
