Ann convinces Don to write a play with her.

Just an OK episode. Don thinks Ann's life might make a good play. Ann wants the play to be true to life while Don wants to over dramatize it. They can't come to an agreement. Funniest scene is when Ann throws Don's pages down the garbage chute. They both end up going through the trash in the basement.

Trivia
The mention of Hecht and MacArthur refers to playwrights Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, who famously collaborated on five plays that made it to Broadway: "The Front Page" (1928), "Twentieth Century" (1932), "Jumbo" (1935), "Ladies and Gentlemen" (1939), "Swan Song" (1946). All but "Swan Song" were also adapted to screenplays and made into movies, although these adaptations, with the exception of "Twentieth Century" had little, if any, input from Hecht and MacArthur.

Quotes
Ann Marie: I can't believe that. There has to be a way. If they can put a man on the moon they ought to be able to invent a way for two people who are mad at each other to call each other up and speak to each other and remind each other that they still love each other even if they are mad.
