Quotes 

  • Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : Jennifer, civilization...

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Oh, don't worry, I won't break the social compact. But that's not saying... there isn't a certain satisfaction in knowing that I could have that asshole squashed like a bug... if I wanted!

  • Tony Soprano : [Referring to her blouse]  is that new? Looks good

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Did you bring your log?

    Tony Soprano : My log?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You remember last week, you were going to keep a record. I asked you to write any feelings of anxiety or memories of past anxiety attacks

    Tony Soprano : [Remembering what they discussed at their previous session]  yeah, my parents, the pork store, it was interesting

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Have you thought at all about that?

    Tony Soprano : How do people find the time?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : To get well

    Tony Soprano : My mother's dead, I haven't had a panic attack since

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You've gone months without them before, the conflicts that caused them and your depression are buried deep inside you. Are you happy?

    Tony Soprano : Am I happy? Look, I'm sorry I didn't bring the list. I'll bring it next week

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [sighs]  we ought to think about bringing your wife into this

    Tony Soprano : In here? Carmela?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You're the one who wanted to take a more proactive approach

    Tony Soprano : [Disagreeing with her suggestion]  that's not in the future

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Let's talk frankly. You've demanded more of me. Fine but you're not trying

    Tony Soprano : Yeah I know, the past, but shit happens in my daily life that needs attention now. I got some genuine concerns, like my son, he shies away from anything that requires effort and I think that he picks that up from me. I mean his in football now right? But Carmela is guilty about this as I am.

  • Richard La Penna : [while they prepare dinner, jokingly, referring to Tony]  Didn't you see my favorite patient today?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Tomorrow

    Richard La Penna : How's that going?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [not wanting to talk about Tony]  Let's not

    Richard La Penna : [referring to stopping Tony's treatment then continuing his therapy sessions]  I still wished to Christ you hadn't taken him back

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [referring to their divorce and reconciling]  I took you back

    Richard La Penna : You think the synergy escapes me? You start treating him, we start seeing each other again. No, seriously...

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [interrupts him]  If you really wanna know, he had a real breakthrough last week

    Richard La Penna : [amused]  Breakthrough what? Somebody's jaw?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [sarcastically]  Your right, I'm wasting my time: better I should boycott with the National Italian American Foundation and save the world from... oh what is it this week?

    Richard La Penna : The very idea ABC would even think of producing that stereotypical goombah fest

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : We're the advertisement for the American experiment. We did great

    Richard La Penna : I'm so fed up with people assuming I'm a thug because my name ends in a vowel: undershirts, yelling, Hollywood tries to give these sociopaths a tragic grandeur of Al Pacino

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Condescend to me, it gets me so hot

    Richard La Penna : Tell me a little more about this breakthrough then. You yourself said this guy's an alexithymic: he said Nothing's gonna get through, not if it threatens that straw house his built inside his head to shelter his base criminality. It really concerns me you don't see this, I mean pink slip this guy: his dangerous

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I'm gonna pink slip you if you don't get that chicken in the oven

  • Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [during her therapy session, referring to Tony]  Richard was right: I've been "charmed" by a sociopath, why didn't I listen?

    Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : Why do you think?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Why did I reject a good man like Richard in the first place? If you think about my life, it's so "textbook." Marry a man ten years my senior, of course Richard's gonna be "protective" and "patriarchal" and then I reject him for exactly that

    Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : There's nothing wrong with wanting to be safe: it's a basic human need

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I know Richard's right, I should get Tony Soprano... oh shit

    Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : I always thought it was the other guy in the news, Little Augie Aprile

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I can't believe I revealed his name

    Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : Why did you? Does Richard know who he is?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I think he saw it in my daytime once. That's why his been so adamant because Soprano is very "high up"

    Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : And if he was some "button man", you wouldn't be treating him?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Please with the terminology...

    Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : You know psychotherapy is "limited" in the treatment of anxiety disorder, now you've medicated Soprano properly, you've helped him "gain" what "insight" in what his able to absorb... it's time to send him on to a behaviorist

  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [after placing his pager on her coffee table as she requested and beginning his therapy session]  see? I turned it off

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Since we've last met, I've been thinking about your course of therapy

    Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You're the doctor

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I think you're ready to move on to Behavior Modification Therapy

    Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What's that mean? Talk to somebody else?

    Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [when she doesn't respond]  Is this because what happened last time? Look, I'm sorry, like you said, it's hard to think about that stuff. I mean, it took me how long to remember it even happened?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I realize that

    Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You know, your fuckin unbelievable. I ask you to get serious in here and when it gets hard, you "pawn" me off on to somebody else

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I'm just introducing the idea: something for you to think about. I'm going to bring some things for you to read about Behavior Modification Therapy

  • Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [over the phone]  hello, may I speak to Anthony Soprano please?

    Carmela Soprano : His not available to come to the phone right now: who may I tell him is calling?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : This is Jennifer Melfi... is this Mrs. Soprano?

    Carmela Soprano : yes, it is Dr. Melfi, how are you?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Actually, that's why I'm calling, to cancel Tuesday's appointment

    Carmela Soprano : Oh, he'll be so disappointed, nothing serious, I hope?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : A little car accident but I'm fine

    Carmela Soprano : Oh my God, I hope he had insurance, you weren't hurt, I hope?

    Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Well, my knee got the worse of it. I'll be up and about in a couple of days

    Carmela Soprano : I'll tell him: you stay off of it and take care
