The Final Mad Men Caption Challenge

dyna-moe-guns.jpg

Just as the first Mad Men Caption Challenge hearkened back to Season 1 via some office horseplay, so does this one -- and it's a twofer: Pete's rifle from "Red in the Face" and Betty's firepower in "Shoot." Have ideas as to what Pete and Betty might be talking about? Let us know in the comments section below with a memorable quip of ten words or less.  (If you're curious, the illustration is by none other than Dyna Moe of "MadMenYourself").

On Mon., Nov. 23, we'll narrow the submitted entries down to five selections. Readers will then vote for their favorite. On Wed., Nov. 25, we'll announce the winner who will receive a Desktop Mad Men and a Season 2 poster; four runner-ups will each receive a Season 2 poster.

Click here to see the winner from the second caption challenge.

Of course I keep missing. YOU try shooting without a left thumb.

default userpic

"Don did a lousy job of teaching you Bette's, I am going to walk you through it! Make sure you have a firm grip and that its slightly erect...pull back...pull back...that's it, that's it! Now lets get a drink!"

default userpic

Pete: "I know exactly how you feel but don't do anything drastic. He is the father of your children after all"

default userpic

"Yeah, that one missed, too. You know, Mrs. Draper, just a wild guess, but I think you may be squinting the wrong eye."

user-pic

I'm not saying the SNL writers don't deserve it Betts, but an acting lesson couldn't hurt.

default userpic

I like your no nonsense approach to taking care of business at the office. My turn for a shot at it now.

user-pic

You shot him down in flames, Betts.

default userpic

Betty, are you really going to aim for the crotch again?

user-pic

It's toasted.

Pete to Betty: Wow, you do hate Don more than I hate Ken!!!

user-pic

Pete: Okay, you got the beatnik, the rich girl, the stewardess,the comedian's wife and the gypsy. Double or nothing on the teacher.

default userpic

On second thought Betty, I believe this actually IMPROVES Cooper's painting!

default userpic

Gosh, I'm sorry Don, in your black and grey suit, I thought you were a pigeon...

default userpic

Betty, I said "not fired", not "fire one off"!

default userpic

Pete: So it's agreed? you get the kids, and I get the Hilton account

default userpic

Pete: "What's SNL??" Betty: "Just shut up and shoot!"

default userpic

Wow, Betty. I guess we can add John Wayne to your Grace Kelly comparison.

default userpic

Betty, you are right. These COULD be sold in a variey of colors.

user-pic

When Roger announced he was gunning for Don, Betty and Pete got the wrong idea.

default userpic

Sally, go to your room!

default userpic

"You did warn him that you hated being called Betts?"

default userpic

"Betty, you are right. These COULD be sold in a variety of colors."

default userpic

"I never had an air-rifle: I'd shoot my eye out."

default userpic

No, Betty, you can't use your earrings if you run out of bullets!

default userpic

Betts, you're distracting me with your rear - er, RARE - form!

user-pic

pete to betty " Hells Bells Betts, they sure did teach you a lot at Bryn Mawr!" betty to pete " YOU BETCHA!"

default userpic

Mine's bigger than yours, Pete.

default userpic

Wow! We're actually "shooting" Don's fall in the opening credits!

user-pic

He should be coming through the door right about......NOW!

user-pic

I got your "Betts, let's talk" right here, buddy !

default userpic

Don's down to his last life, Betts. Shouldn't you, erm, slow down a bit?

default userpic

YOU have double standards, Don, but I have DOUBLE BARRELS!

default userpic

Betty you sure do have good aim, are you sure that you haven't held a gun before?

user-pic

You think Reno was fast? This is fast.

user-pic

How many SNL writers ARE there?

default userpic

Pete 3. Betty 5. Holdin' a gun; still no balls.

user-pic

You sure Sally gets her temper from Don?

default userpic

Guns are for BOYS. GIRLS can't have gu-NO BETTY!

Don never wants a second cup of MY coffee!

We're not "shooting blanks" here, are we?

Whoa-oa, black Betty (Bam-BA-Lam)!

"Keep talking while I aim and I'll shoot a hole through your can, Campbell." - Betty

default userpic

Pete: "Three shots may be my limit. I'm feeling pretty loaded."

user-pic

" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, New York in the summertime............PULL !! "

" Does this shotgun make me look fat? "

default userpic

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, no Dicking around.

default userpic

The two of us - here - playing with our shotguns, Betty? A thing like that...

default userpic

"Well heck Betty, maybe I should try pretending they're all Don, too"

default userpic

"Keep talking while I aim and I'll shoot a second hole in your can, Campbell." - Betty

(slightly more crass than my first attempt)

default userpic

Betty, you're really going to have to control your breathing. Just wounding those McCann fellows won't do.

default userpic

No, Betts, you can't see Russia from here. That's New Jersey.

default userpic

Betty, Thanks for your help with the Lady Remington account.

default userpic

Betty: "Draper season"
Pete "Cosgrove season"
Betty "Draper season"
Pete "Cosgrove season
Betty " Cosgrove season:
Pete "Draper season...hey...

user-pic

Should we untie Don and give him a sporting chance?

default userpic

Pete: All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!
Betty: Any of you f&^&*^ pricks move, and I'll execute every motherf^&%4 last one of ya!

default userpic

Is that really what the Aqua Net ad made you think of, Betty?

user-pic

Pete: You know Mrs. Draper, knowing your target audience is what advertising is all about... so don't shoot till you see the whites of Don's eyes.

Betty: Shut up Pete, it's not Don's eyes I'm aiming for!

user-pic

Whatever you do Betty, it's sure to end with a "BANG".

user-pic


" Betty, I just love how your dress swirls up from the kick-back of the shotgun "

default userpic

"Well, she isn't wild, but I bet she's game."

default userpic

OK -- we've got our Duck Hunting licenses, too.

default userpic

"It's Manhattan Pete! They all look like Don!"

default userpic

Betty: "this is more effective than every idea or campaign you ever pulled DON!"
Pete: "Ain't that right"

default userpic

Don't shoot Don, Betty, I need a promotion!!!

user-pic

"Nice shot Betty, now be a sport and hit Peggy!"

user-pic

"Gee this is better than shooting skeet at the club. Good shot Betty!"

user-pic

" Enough with this anemic, pea-shooting Browning, Pete. You got a gun around here with some real 'kick' to it? "

default userpic

On second thought, Cooper's art actually looks BETTER this way.

user-pic

Hell, Betty. If more women could shoot like that you could all join the army instead of shopping all day. Where did you put the Stolichnaya? That's imported, you know.

Pete: "Wow, a thing like that."

default userpic

Betty: "I hit him with 5 shots and he's still alive!"

user-pic

we're one step away from my trifecta..

user-pic

Go a-hem.. MAKE MY DAY! I mean, life.. hey, what an idea: we should both get one! I'm so-o-o forward-thinking :D

user-pic

You remind me of a certain Dick.. some 30 years into the future!

default userpic

Pete: ... and when I'm out of bullets I use it to play air guitar.

default userpic

Nice shot, Sweetheart! Now be a good girl and get me a cup of coff....................

default userpic

Betty, I'm impressed. Slick city skeet shooter you.

user-pic

I have to admit your right Betty. It is possible that Oswald was the lone gunman.

user-pic

Betts: "Oops..let me try again, my tool belt slipped"

default userpic

"I, too, enjoy pointing my gun at birds."

user-pic

Yahoo..I can see Canada from this window..You betcha!

user-pic

Guy walks by an advertising agency!

user-pic

Yes Betty, I'm positive that Don has been disguising himself as Ken Cosgrove.

user-pic

"Betty, did you go shopping with Peggy again?"

default userpic

Geez Betty, Just use a bottle opener already.

default userpic

Betty: Where is that Don?

Pete: He is out for a "Nooner"

default userpic

Nice shot sweetheart! Now be a good girl and get me a cup of coff........................

user-pic

Puttnam, Powell & Lowe hire Betty to follow through with the layoffs after the buyout of Sterling – Cooper.......

default userpic

Yes, Betty... Creative did come up with this new concept called "Going Postal."

default userpic

Wow. Those Macy's balloons drop faster than Don's pants....

default userpic

Betty: Pete, just do as I say and you'll get the Winchester account as well as Don's position at the new firm.

Pete: Betty, I'll go pick up your prescription. It's been a while since your last tranquilizer, right?

user-pic

So... you finally found the box, huh?

user-pic

Hey, Don! Limit your exposure!

user-pic

What do you mean "go upstairs!"? It's my office.

user-pic

"Hey Betty, how do you cock this thing, I can't seem to get mine cocked!"

default userpic

Pete, I know you're upset at the way some people in the office have treated you, but GET OUT OF THE WAY.

default userpic

Pete: Oswald made everything seem all right. Betty: He sure did.

user-pic

"I dreamed I was a sharpshooter in my Maidenform bra."

default userpic

Pete: "It's never too early to do shots..."
Betty: "...and you need to catch up!"

default userpic

"I love Nintendo Duck Hunt!"

user-pic

"Don's a worthy target, but I'd rather be Duck hunting!"

user-pic

"Peter, I'm done with 'catch and release'. It's shooting time!"

user-pic

Pete: "Hey, this is better than a chip and dip!"

Betty: "So Don's not giving me a penny in the divorce huh? We'll see about that!"

user-pic

Pete: How about first to get NINE in creative, wins?

user-pic

Betty takes aim seconds before the opening credits.

user-pic

It's open season on Donald Duck.

default userpic

You've finally hit the chip'n'dip Betty.. now how do we explain the damage to Matt Weiner's mom!!

user-pic

Betty: "Aim and shoot!"

Pete: " I've got a perfect shot from back here."

user-pic

Sorry Pete, A fainting couch trades for a better shotgun!

default userpic

Finally, you'll get your freedom and I'll get my promotion!

user-pic

Pete: "My gun is bigger."

Betty: "I don't know what to say."

user-pic

Pete: "It's Duck season."

Betty:"No, it's Dick season."

user-pic

Betty:"Our photo shoot was today..."

Pete:"Shooting this is more fun."

default userpic

Betty: Pete, you know, I'm glad I found someone who loves nailing Manhattan executives as much as I do...

user-pic

Pete: "Betty, maybe if you'd spend more time in the kitchen instead of the shooting range..."

user-pic

Pete: You're about to hit "The Point of No Return"..
Bettie: I prefer "La Femme Nikita".
Pete: One thing's 4 sure: we're not in Venice anymore!

user-pic

Betty: Tell me again why we won't get quote.. I mean, caught.
Pete: Remember that thing with abundance of information making censorship unnecessary? We have 8 decoys ready to take the blame.. And then we'll kill whomever gets it!
Betty: Now THAT's reassuring..
Pete: Relax sugar, nobody ever blames a beautiful woman. Just think of Don and whatever warm, receptive orrifice he's in right now!

user-pic

Pete: .. Je n'ai pas encore l'information. Le contact sera visible dans 10 seconds.

user-pic

Pete: I'm forward thinking, but a lone woman shooter?! Who knew?"

default userpic

I say Bets! We make a great team.... I drive Don utterly crazy and you put them him out of his misery.

default userpic

Pete: "Betty, ... Mrs. Draper, you do realize that I am allowing you to win because you are a girl."

default userpic

Pete to rifle: Please don't leave me alone again.

user-pic

Don't worry about getting blood stains on your skirt Betty, I have know someone at Bonwitt Teller who will exchange it for a new one.

user-pic

Pete: After you finish off Trudy I'll take care of Don. You know, we wouldn't have to do this if New York's divorce laws were fair.

user-pic

Pete, step aside and stop checking out my behind!

user-pic

Pete: Its my turn now, Betty. I can't believe you couldn't hit Don after 4 shots. Hell, Oswald only took 3 shots.

default userpic

Pete: " I see Don let you read the Feminine Mystique, eh Betty."

default userpic

You know, some people are actually suggesting there may have been a second shooter.

user-pic

So "Let's go shoot the breeze" meant this? Hells Bells!!

user-pic

Betty, dear, is this being fueled by postpartum depression?

default userpic

Bets, You've given new meaning to the phrase "advertising game".

user-pic

Well, Betty dear, I quit when they start shooting back.

user-pic

I think we've actually improved on Bert's Rothko.

user-pic

" Oh dear. I do hope these shell casings won't stain the carpet "

user-pic

" Just like shooting fish-in-a-barrel.... and 'Ducks' ..... and 'Dicks' "

user-pic

" Got to wonder if these false eyelashes actually 'help' my aim "

user-pic

" Aim for the John Deere... aim for the John Deere! "

user-pic

"Meditate on THIS emergency!"

default userpic

Jeez Bets... you're not supposed to hit the Bottle!

default userpic

Now that's what I call a 'Lucky Strike'!!

user-pic

It'll take a basket of bullets to mark my man!

default userpic

Peter Campbell, you have no idea what I'm aiming at!

default userpic

Why Betty Draper, who would ever guess you were so vindictive.

user-pic

Sure beats the hell out of horseback riding.

user-pic

Puttnam, Powell & Lowe hires Betty to implement the merger layoffs after their buyout of Sterling – Cooper.......

user-pic

" Okay Don, now..........DANCE...!!! "

default userpic

Betty, I got this other "Duck" you can shoot too!!!!

user-pic

" What's wrong, Don? Under enemy fire -- and you with no 'fox holes' to bury yourself into this time, huh? "

user-pic

Gee Betty, this is better than skeet shooting at the club. Nice shot!

default userpic

"Season 3? Nailed it."

user-pic

Woman, stop screwing with my rifle and go back to the kitchen.

user-pic

Pete, while you took Charleston lessons, I learned to shoot!

default userpic

it's toasted!

default userpic

Betty. Your gloves don't match your outfit!!!

default userpic

Betty, I know you have questionable parenting skills but this...

user-pic

" What the hey...?!?! Peggy gets an Emmy nomination, and I don't...??? "

user-pic

Shoot one more partner, Betts, and the company's ours!

user-pic

Shut up, woman. Get on my horse.

user-pic

" Don gets an Emmy nomination? Roger gets an Emmy nomination? Even Peggy gets an Emmy nomination. Now its MY 'shot' "

user-pic

' Don gets an Emmy nomination...? Roger gets an Emmy nomination...? Even Peggy gets an Emmy Nomination.....?!?!?! Well......now it's MY 'shot' '

default userpic

Pete Cambell: "His name is Dick Whitman."
Betty Draper: "Good. That's what I'm aiming for."

default userpic

Dick's already dead, Betty. No one will be the wiser.

user-pic

You know, Betty, if you take out all of Don's clients, it will be hard to get alimony!

default userpic

" Pete, no Dick jokes while shooting"

default userpic

Pete: So, Betty, what you're saying is: the more people we shoot, the less competition there will be for my job AND Don's affections?

Betty:
That's right, Pete.

Pete: Ingenious, Betty. Really - it's quite keen.
