And there's a refrigerator and all this.

It's a beautiful piece of writing.

And it's an incredibly emotional moment, not only for this man, but for Dawn.

And there's a connection that they have.

Well, thank you.

I felt very, very good about what I did on the show.

Well, and it's because you don't really, Don gets there under such duress and it's such a strange journey that he ends up there and he's lost this connection with his job, his family, his everything.

It's really the Siddhartha kind of moment of just shed everything and to discover who you really are.

And there's a moment, and of course,

the opening sequence of the show is this man falling out of a building and everyone's like, this is where he does it.

He's going to jump off the cliff.

He's going to kill himself.

This is the end of the show.

He's going to die.

And it's, it could have gone that way.

I think there's a version of this story where Don doesn't get it and doesn't allow himself to understand it and is so overcome with the

his emotion and his feeling of inadequacy and failure and what he has failed at as a husband, as a friend, as a father, as a fill in the blank, that he does do that.

But he doesn't.

He kind of takes it in, takes the moment, feels the feelings for real and has the moment of clarity where he goes like, you know, and it's beautifully rendered with the Coke ad and the iconic kind of moment of this.

And it's like, this is who I am.
