  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You worried about him?

  Tony Soprano : Jackie? Jackie's so fucking mean, he'll scare that cancer away.

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [about Jackie's condition]  From what you're telling me it doesn't sound very good.

  Tony Soprano : From what I'm telling you? Well, what the fuck do I know? I'm not a doctor.

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You're angry. Who with?

  Tony Soprano : Let me tell you something. This man has had chemo every day for three fuckin' weeks and he still has every last hair on his head. Every last hair on his head and he's got a beautiful head of hair. So don't tell me about how it sounds because you don't know him and you don't know me and you don't know what the fuck you're talkin' about!

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What's happening is we're getting closer to your confronting your true feelings about what's really going on here.

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : The tree in the painting rotted out, you said. There's nothing in that picture to indicate that.

  Tony Soprano : The fucking painting. I knew that painting was a scam. I knew that painting was a fuckin' scam!

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You remember your dream? The ducks? It took on another meaning. What happens to a tree that's rotted out?

  Tony Soprano : Trees, ducks. What the fuck are you, Ranger Rick? I'll tell you, some job you shrinks got! You think everybody is lying to you while you're pulling scams on them! Fuck you!
