Share Your Favorite Lines From the Ladies of Ossining

helen-francine.jpg

Betty Draper isn't the only woman to reside in Ossining, NY. Let's not forget her neighbors Francine Hanson and Helen Bishop. As suburban mothers go, these two may be nothing alike, but they've both been a source of comfort (and sometimes, tension) to those around them.

Have a favorite line from either woman? Let us know.

We'll randomly choose two contributors to win a Mad Men poster, a Mad Men Dyna Moe desktop set, or some Mad Men DVDs. Your selection may even end up on the Mad Men website. All submissions should be posted in the comments section below and must include the season, episode and character from which the quote is taken.

I loved Helen a lot, and I hope we get to some more of her in Season 4 now that she and Betty are ~fellow divorcees~.


Helen: The hardest part is realizing you are in charge.

Anothe fave from Francine who I would love to see more of in Season 4:
Season1,Episode 13, The Wheel, Francine to Betty after she has divulged that she has caught Carlton cheating, "The worst is that I'll poison him. He's so stupid, he'll drink anything! I'm going to have a house full of people. I'll poison them all. His parents, my parents, my kids!" and later in the same conversation, "Dammit Betty, I know everything. What am I going to do?"
