TOBACCO EXEC: Who the hell wants them? They're ten percent of the population.
EXEC 2: They're poor.
DRAPER: Think of it this way. You're never going to be Marlboro. But if you can get 98% of 10% of the country to buy your cigarettes, that's 18 million people. If only three quarters of those people buy cigarettes, and trust me, that's 13 million customers. But that's not it. You can count on this customer base to never change brands, they'll be more loyal than cowboys. Menthol is the new Cadillac. And regarding the poor: poor people love cigarettes.

It just might.
But purpose makes courage.
Bravery can be a silly mistake with a quick outcome.
Bravery is death.
