About this piece

You ever been hunting, Peggy?

Summary

In this episode Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser), a young executive at the ad agency Sterling Cooper, returns a wedding gift, a chip and dip, and exchanges it for a rifle. His wife gets mad at him as the gift was from her aunt. In this scene Pete goes back to his office with the rifle and is sitting on his couch, thinking. Peggy, a secretary, walks in and Pete asks her if she's ever been hunting. Then in this monologue, he tells her of the times he went hunting with his uncle in New Hampshire, and then confesses that what he really would have wanted to do with his prey, after having hunted it down, is drag it to a cabin in the woods, hang it up, cut it open, drain it, cut a loin out of the side and then bring it to a woman who would cook it for him...
