She tells him that he may not understand the words, but he can understand the emotional tone of what she's saying.

Notes[]
- During his scene with David, Don's framed picture of Joe Raposo sits near the counter of Hooper's Store rather than on his piano.
- Don's attempt at soft music includes snippets from "As Time Goes By," "Call Me Irresponsible," "The Shadow of Your Smile," and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."
