Quotes 

• Peggy Olson : I don't hate kids.

  Stan Rizzo : Look, you got to a certain point in your life and it didn't happen. I understand you're angry about it, but you've got a lot of other things.

  Peggy Olson : Don't do that.

  Stan Rizzo : I mean it. You couldn't have done all you've done otherwise.

  Peggy Olson : I guess that's the secret to your spectacular career? The fact that you don't have kids?

  Stan Rizzo : Not that I know of!

  Peggy Olson : That's funny to you. Because it wouldn't matter if you did. You can walk away.

  Stan Rizzo : I would never do that.

  Peggy Olson : But you may not even know. That's what you said. It's been a long day.

  Stan Rizzo : You're right. I didn't mean to judge her.

  Peggy Olson : But you did and you don't understand it at all.

  Stan Rizzo : I had a mother. And she wasn't great. And I don't know that she wanted me, so I understand something.

  Peggy Olson : But you don't understand your mother.

  Stan Rizzo : Well, maybe I don't want to.

  Peggy Olson : Maybe she was very young. And followed her heart and got in trouble. And no one should have to make a mistake just like a man does and not be able to move on. She should be able to live the rest of her life just like a man does.

  Stan Rizzo : You're right.

  Peggy Olson : I know. Maybe you do what you thought was the best thing.

  Stan Rizzo : What did you do?

  Peggy Olson : I'm... I'm here. And...

  Stan Rizzo : Oh.

  Peggy Olson : He's with a family somewhere. I don't know, but it's not because I don't care. I don't know because you're not supposed to know. Or you can't go on with your life.

  Stan Rizzo : I'm sorry. I didn't know that.

  Peggy Olson : Well, you don't know lots of things about lots of people. That's the point.

  Stan Rizzo : No, it's not.

  Peggy Olson : I'm fine. I have work to do.
