Dr. Jennifer Melfi
- Tony Soprano: It's Tuesday three o'clock so we've got to talk about something ok? Spin the wheel", here's something that's been bothering me I gave my daughter a car
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Really?
- Tony Soprano: Yeah a used car, one of those SUV's, a 92 pathfinder. The thing is that it belonged to a friend of hers from school and it came into my possession incurred of a debt by the kid's father and this is the way he elected to make payment
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You gave your daughter her friend's car?
- Tony Soprano: It was a nice, safe, car to which I had the pink slip
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: What's bothering you?
- Tony Soprano: I must've known that she'd known it was her friend Eric's car and how I got it and she'd freak out
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Then why did you give it to her?
- Tony Soprano: I don't know, I mean for all these years I've been shielding her and protecting her from certain "truths" so now I want to rub her nose in it.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Any thoughts on that?
- Tony Soprano: This kid's father, his fuckin degenerate gambler but his also a respected business man in the community and everything that goes along with that
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: One of your "Happy "wanders"
- Tony Soprano: How do you remember this shit?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [Smiles, remains silent]
- Tony Soprano: So it becomes my fault he lost his kid's car? I've got to look out for him because his a sick bastard? My friend Artie Bucco got a restaurant right? Now believe me no one's telling him to refuse a plate a fettuccine to a guy that's eating himself to death
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Maybe that's what you were saying to your daughter
- Tony Soprano: What?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: By giving her the SUV, wanting her to confront some of these "moral ambiguities"
- Tony Soprano: [Implying that he doesn't understand her terminology] English
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Meadow's going to be going away to college next year
- Tony Soprano: Yeah that's why she needs the car
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: "Leaving the nest"
- Tony Soprano: Not those fuckin ducks again
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Maybe you were preparing her for the reality of teaching her to "fly"?
- Tony Soprano: You know your people are something, I gave my little girl a car to rub her face in shit and you're telling me I did something noble?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: We're getting to something here
- Tony Soprano: [Realizing she's right] time's up
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Look, we still have time and we're doing good work, what? You feel you're cured?
- Tony Soprano: Alright, I'll sit here but I got nothin else to say
