| season four is in the books. the suitcase is often cited as a top if not the best mad men episode mostly because it focused on don and peggys relationship but the beautiful girls had a couple of the most memorable lines revolving around the death of a character who was primarily a running joke namely dons aged secretary ida blankenship.
the line that is most remembered was uttered by the company founder bert cooper who had long prior had a truncated liaison with her. for her obit he proclaimed, "she was born in 1898 in barn and died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. she was an astronaut."
as good as that was i laughed aloud at roger sterlings more sly but no less true remark. "she died as she lived -- surrounded by the people she answered phones for."
