Oh, right. Duh. Thanks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think Betty was trying to test whether she could get a man to give her something just for being pretty to compare herself to her call girl friend, but I could be reading to much into it.
sj, oh I think you are right, but that tow truck driver was kind of a creep. I thought Betty was going to back down because he was very threatening. I thought we'd see a bit more growth in Betty...

I think he was actually a decent guy in a lot of respects, taking the $3 and leaving like that. If that scene had taken place in The Sopranos, it would have ended differently.

I think we have seen a lot of changes in Betty. Last season Betty was so worried that Don would have to eat leftovers out of the fridge. This year she didn't seem to care. Plus, she insisted on ordering what she wanted from room service. She's testing her power.

CI, I suppose but I wish he had been upfront: give me my money or take the $$ and go. He was trying to intimidate her for a bit - even if it didn't last long.

Corwood, yeah that scene with Peggy and Don made me blush, in a not-good way

She really articulates one of the radical strengths of the show. It just says: this is what entitlement looks like. It's invisible to the people who receive it.

We're rewatching Mad Men, because the original broadcast was interupted several times. All the little power struggles that are going on are fascinating. I don't think it was coincidence that the first time we see Betty she's wearing pants.
I can't believe Betty made that Gone with the Wind comment to her daughter.
