My “Mad Men” Spec script (Starring me, Adrian Chen!)

SCENE: The office of advertising executive Donald Draper.
DONALD DRAPER: Joan, I’d like you to meet our new junior executive. His name is Adrian Chen.
JOAN HOLLOWAY (AKA THE HOT REDHEADED SECRETARY): Hello, Mr. Chen.
ADRIAN CHEN: Hello, Joan.
DONALD DRAPER: Now, Joan. I’m going to ask you to do something. And I’m going to warn you, it may sound a little weird.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Anything for you, Mr. Draper.
DONALD DRAPER: I need you to kiss Adrian, here. Hard. On the lips.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Kiss him? But… why?
DONALD DRAPER: It helps me think of ideas for advertisements.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Mr. Draper, I don’t think I understand…
DONALD DRAPER: Joan?
JOAN HOLLOWAY: …yes?
DONALD DRAPER: You do remember this is the 1960s, right?
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Yes…
DONALD DRAPER: That’s a good girl. Now, go ahead. Don’t be shy.
(ADRIAN CHEN and JOAN HOLLOWAY kiss.)
DONALD DRAPER: I just thought of three good ideas for advertisements.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Great! May I go now?
DONALD DRAPER: No, they were ideas for other products than the one I’ve specifically been assigned to come up with ideas for today. What I really need is for you and Mr. Chen to start having sex.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: But—
DONALD DRAPER: 1960s!
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Yes, Mr. Draper.
(ADRIAN CHEN and JOAN HOLLOWAY begin to have passionate sex on the floor.)
DONALD DRAPER: That’s it. Excellent. I think… I’ve… almost… got… an… idea… Nope. No, definitely not. That’s not right at all. Joan, I need you on TOP of Mr. Chen. There you go.
JOAN HOLLOWAY: Mr. Draper, how much longer do we need to do this for?
DONALD DRAPER: (Looks at his watch.) I’d say about 55 more minutes, with three six minute breaks in between.
ADRIAN CHEN: Wow. The world really HAS gone mad! (Winks at camera.)
(ADRIAN CHEN and JOAN HOLLOWAY continue to have passionate sex on the floor for the rest of the episode.)
THE END.

I’ve never watched “Mad Men” before, but now I’m DEEPLY interested all of strange sudden.

could you write me a walk-on where I have sex with that chubby nerdy guy in the copy department who I find inexplicably foxy, and it causes Don to have a cigarettes-and-booze-related heart attack and so then I move into his house and me and Betty hang out drinking martinis and I teach her about feminism? It could be the season finale, I’m thinking.

Somehow I knew you liked the chubby nerdy copywriter, Ritchey.
