EPISODE
INT. KNICK KNACK BAR 4
Vinyl upholstery and mirrored walls, but brand new. It's after work, but the women have their hair done and each man's tie is pushed to the top of his collar. Highballs and martinis clink under quiet music and everywhere are the sights and sounds of smoking.
Alone in a red corner booth is DON DRAPER, early 30's, handsome, conservative, and despite his third old fashioned, he is apparently sober. He is doodling on a cocktail napkin. He crosses something out, puts down his fountain pen, and taps a cigarette out of a pack of "Lucky Strike".
The BUSBOY, a middle-aged black man, too old for his tight uniform, approaches. BUSBOY Finished, sir?
DON Yeah. Got a light?
The busboy pulls out a pack of matches from the back of his 'Old Gold’s' and lights Don's cigarette.

“SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES” PINK 4/20/06
35 INT. DRAPER’S CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
We watch Don's feet, now in slippers, cross the oor. He eases onto the side of the bed. His hand reaches out to gently stroke a shock of gold hair. We pull out to reveal he is sitting between the twin beds containing Robert and Sally, his two children. Don has a hand on each of their heads as they sleep. He looks up to the doorway where Betty now leans in her peignoir, smiling at the scene of domestic bliss.
