We're flawed, because we want so much more. We're ruined, because we get these things, and wish for what we had.

“Well, it’s good for him. He’s interesting. But I’ve never been interesting to anybody. I, um, I work in an office. People walk right by me, I know they don’t see me. And I go home and I watch my wife and my kids. They don’t look up when I sit down. I don’t know. It’s like no one cares that I’m gone. They should love me. Maybe they do, but I don’t even know what it is. You spend your whole life thinking you’re not getting it, people aren’t giving it to you. Then you realize they’re trying. And you don’t even know what it is. I had a dream I was on a shelf in the refrigerator. Someone closes the door and the light goes off. And I know everybody’s out there eating. And then they open the door and you see them smiling and they’re happy to see you. But maybe they don’t look right at you and maybe they don’t pick you. Then the door closes again. The light goes off.”

Last day on the set of Mad Men (x) “It’s been nine years of our lives,” said Elisabeth Moss, who started playing Peggy Olson when she was just 23. “To bring that to a close is definitely something that feels big … You change a lot in your 20s.” Hamm’s scenes in the Oklahoma motel might’ve seemed lonely on screen, but viewers often forget that there’s a big production crew on hand behind the scenes. “There were a lot more people around because everyone was kind of done and like, ‘We’re still at work but there’s nothing to do,’ ” Hamm said. “The significance wasn’t lost on anyone.” January Jones and Weiner share a cheerful moment on set, but Jones insisted that her last day was “awful”: “I’ve never been so attached to someone, or played someone that long,” she said. “It was like someone was dying.” When her character Betty was diagnosed with cancer, Jones’ lament became more than just a metaphor. “In terms of the actors, whose life changed the most? Kiernan [Shipka],” Weiner said of the 15-year-old, who was 6 at the start of the show. “What I felt was, I’m the teacher and everybody’s graduating,” Weiner said (shown here with Hendricks, Hamm and Vincent Kartheiser). As filming wound down, “Everything is so gradual,” he said. “I had like five months ahead of me [in post-production] … so I kind of delayed the end.” “Pretty much changed in every single way” since scoring the role of Joan Holloway Harris “It was a very strange, hopefully proper, hopefully therapeutic process,” Jon Hamm of the final days on set. “Everyone wanted to be there for the end … and register it and be like, ‘This happened.’ ”

“Far Away Places” Mad Men S5E6

[museandreverie]

My name’s Leonard and I don’t know if there’s anything that complicated about me. And so I should be happier, I guess. Do you remember what I said to Daniel about “should?” Oh. Well, it’s good for him. He’s interesting. But I’ve never been interesting to anybody. I, um– I work in an office. People walk right by me. I know they don’t see me. And I go home and I watch my wife and my kids. They don’t look up when I sit down. How does it feel to say that? I don’t know. It’s like no one cares that I’m gone. They should love me. I mean, maybe they do, but I don’t even know what it is. You spend your whole life thinking you’re not getting it, people aren’t giving it to you. Then you realize they’re trying and you don’t even know what it is. I had a dream I was on a shelf in the refrigerator. Someone closes the door and the light goes off, and I know everybody’s out there eating. And then they open the door and you see them smiling. And they’re happy to see you, but maybe they don’t look right at you, and maybe they don’t pick you. And then the door closes again. The light goes off.
