- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Tony is at Dr. Melfi's shortly after having a monetary dispute with Hesh] You got a lot of Jews in your business right?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: What do you mean?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: This.
- [surveys her office]
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: . You gotta hand it to 'em. When it comes to money.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I've found that that's nothing more than an ugly stereotype.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Really? Because I got a friend, you tie a krugerrand to a fishing line, you're gonna land him.
- [makes a sound emulating a fishing line being reeled in]
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: . Right up on the dock.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [referring to Hesh] it doesn't sound like you think of him as a "friend"
- Tony Soprano: come on, we go way back but that didn't stop him from bustin my balls because I owe him some money
- Tony Soprano: [when she doesn't respond] anyway, I needed a little bridge loan for some of the gambling losses we've been talking about
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: still?
- Tony Soprano: I'm good for it
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: why not just stop?
- Tony Soprano: it's a big part of my life
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I know but you've been talking about it a lot
- Tony Soprano: well, you lose sometimes, you gotta act like it hurts more than it does, you know, for your guys
- Tony Soprano: [when she doesn't respond] if you couldn't lose, what's the fuckin point, huh? See, it's the risk
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: what are you chasing? Money? Or a "high" from winning?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [after he shakes his head] before we end, there's something I need to bring up: you missed a lot of appointments
- Tony Soprano: excuse me, I always give you the required notice or I pay for the hour
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: that's not my point
- Tony Soprano: well, I get busy
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: it's my fault, I've condoned it for a long time
- Tony Soprano: I haven't had a panic attack since my uncle shot me, did you notice that?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: yes
- Tony Soprano: [sarcastically] it must be nice to know everything
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: is that the only reason why your here? The panic attacks?
- Tony Soprano: no... this an oasis in my week
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: so, this is vacation?
- Tony Soprano: no, I benefit in many ways
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: decide if you want to keep coming but know there are "protocols" that have to be followed, or I won't be able to continue
- Tony Soprano: [suspiciously] ok, I will
