I don’t know the context for this but AS is wearing a scarf and fedora and that’s all that is needed to be said.
Ken sits at his desk, holding a manuscript in his hands. Sal walks into the room. Ken quickly puts it away.
SAL: Not your resume, I hope.
KEN: No, it’s nothing.
SAL: By “nothing”, you mean a “Hargrove” original?
Ken grins sheepishly.
KEN: I guess I can’t hide it from anyone.
SAL: You know I’ve always been a fan.
KEN: This isn’t exactly “Tapping a Maple on a Cold Vermont Morning”.
SAL: I hear it’s something to do with robots, sabotage, and mass murder.
KEN: Basically.
SAL: So, when’s it getting published?
KEN: Are you kidding me? Roger would throw me out the window.
SAL: Not if you pulled out the bolt on the bridge first.
Kenny Cosgrove: The best account man on Madison Avenue

Here’s a sample of The Punishment of X-4 by Ken Cosgrove written by Damon Lindelof:
DATE OF INCIDENT: 14 Sagittarius, 2785. LOCATION: Aristophanes Interplanetary Span (“The A Bridge”) CAUSE: Automaton Malfunction.
“Let the transcript reflect the Supervisor cites artificial responsibility.”
“Comrade… you understand that by doing so, The Code requires the presence of an Artificial Intellect for these proceedings?”
“Nephytus, while rich in Gallium, offers a hostile atmosphere and no naturally occurring source of fresh water.”
“The solution seemed obvious… create a commuter colony that would work on Nephytus, but live on Aton.”
“Comrade, in your own words, explain to us the history and function of the Aristophanes Span.”
“The X-4 has a purely binary function. Insert. Or Remove.”
Peggy Olson - If I had to guess, people who idolize Peggy are likely to be the permanently exasperated girl in the office or in class. She is (rightfully) convinced that she’s far more competent than any of the dolts surrounding her, but as she is neither in possession of a) a penis or b) the capacity to tell people to go f-ck themselves, she’s going to be stuck climbing that ladder the unsexy, slow way. But she’s going to be the girl you go to in moments of crisis, because she’s the only one who legitimately takes notes when the professor is rambling on and everyone else is cruising Facebook, or she’s actually stayed on top of the big project and has copies of all the important emails no one bothered to read. We need you, Peggy people, don’t let your lack of a promotion convince you otherwise.
Roger Sterling - You are an enormous ass hat in every way.
Sally Draper - You are awesome, despite the massive, massive toolbags you have for parents. We believe in you

Ken Cosgrove
Your favorite character is awesome, and we don’t see nearly enough of him. Aside from being married to Alex Mack (!), you are just the genuinely good-natured, funny, likable, successful guy that more or less everyone enjoys being around. You’re appealing and charming in a completely un-forced way, and you have the most endearingly earnest side-projects and hobbies. You are terrifying to people like Pete because you represent all of the easy success and happiness that comes with being just a natural people-person. You’ll only have to do half the work of people like Pete or Peggy and get twice as far, because you come across as the guy everyone wants to hang out with and trust. You are awesome, could we have a beer together or something? If you’re not busy.
Stan Rizzo
You adorable, overgrown frat boy, you. Don’t ever change. Also, keep being sweetly kind and brotherly towards people like Peggy, they need people like you.
Please announce yourself in this fashion in every future project thank you please.
