Don Draper's best pitch from Mad Men. Kodak are doing their rounds, listening to what various ad agencies are offering. Don's marriage is in trouble. The guy that walks out - his has ended. The speech takes us from personal anecdote through technical detail to personal imagery and the emotional impact it has. The best line is "where we ache to go again". He means it here as an ache to go back to a time and place where we knew we were loved. Like when marriage is young and the fire still burning. But we all ache all the time for a time and place before that. Back to the primal experience of all-consuming love and nurture. This ache underlies every desire we have.
