Pete Campbell:
You ever been hunting, Peggy?
Peggy Olson:
No, I don’t think so.
Pete Campbell:
You either have or you haven’t. I went a couple of times with my uncle. New Hampshire.
Peggy Olson:
I saw my cousin shoot a rabbit by Coney Island.
Pete Campbell:
It’s an incredible sensation. You have to be very quiet. Take it down with the first shot or you scare it away. And sometimes you have to go up and finish it off. Then you tie it to the bumper, and you go home. But you know what I’ve always wanted to do? I would pick it up throw its back legs over my shoulder and I would drag it through the snow to this little cabin. And there I’d hang it up between a couple of trees, cut it open, drain it, dress it and then I’d take my big hunting knife and I’d cut this loin right out of the side. And I’d go into the cabin and there’d be this woman waiting for me, standing by one of those old stoves with a big black pipe and I’d hand it to her and she’d put it in a cast-iron skillet and then I’d sit at the table and she’d bring it to me. And I’d wipe my knife on my knee and then I would eat it while she watches.
Peggy Olson:
That would be wonderful.
