Dr. Jennifer Melfi
- Tony Soprano: It's in his blood, this miserable fuckin' existence. My rotten, fuckin' putrid genes have infected my kid's soul. That's my gift to my son.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I know all this is difficult but I'm very glad we're having this discussion.
- Tony Soprano: Really, really? 'Cause I gotta be honest, I think it fuckin' sucks.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: What does?
- Tony Soprano: This. Therapy. I HATE this fuckin' shit! Seriously, we're both adults here, right? So after all is said and done, after all the complainin' and the cryin' and all the fuckin' bullshit... is this all there is?
- Tony Soprano: I came here today to tell you, in all seriousness, that I'm done. I did what you said. I gave it a lot of thought and I decided, once and for all, it's over. The truth is this therapy is a jerk-off. You know it and I know it.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I actually don't know it but please continue.
- Tony Soprano: It's a jerk-off.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Yes, you've said that.
- Tony Soprano: I was coming here to quit, I had it all planned out, but guess what? My son's talking about suicide so I'm trapped here forever
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: My God, what did he say?
- Tony Soprano: his girlfriend, fiancé, whatever, she broke up with him, his beyond devastated
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Would you like me to recommend someone for him to talk to?
- Tony Soprano: Carmela is getting a referral from our old pediatrician
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: oh
- Tony Soprano: after that incompetent you sent Meadow to?
- Tony Soprano: [Referring to Patsy and Carlo] you know friends of mine have sons his age, their happy, ambitious, they fuckin take life as it comes
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I know it seems that way but do you really know these boys?
- Tony Soprano: I know what I see, my son crawled up on the couch in a fetus position when he should be out banging co-eds
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Have you talked to him?
- Tony Soprano: [Referring to Carmela] until I'm "blue" in the face. We both have, now we're afraid to talk to him because of what he might do. Obviously, I'm prone to depression, certain bleak attitude about the world but I know I can handle it. Your kids though, it's like when their little and get sick, you'd give anything to the world to trade places with them so they don't have to suffer and then you think you're the cause of it
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: how are you the cause of it?
