Carmela Soprano : [Participating in Tony's therapy session for the first time] how are you feeling, from your accident?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Fine, thank you
Carmela Soprano : Honestly, if you told me five years ago I'd be sitting here today
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Anthony's attacks, how do they make you feel?
Carmela Soprano : Concerned of course, helpless, a little frustrated
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe with your inability to help him?
Carmela Soprano : To tell you the truth I was referring to your inability to help him
Tony Soprano : She has helped me, what're you talking about?
Carmela Soprano : You've been coming here for three years Tony and you still pass out on a regular basis
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [to Carmela] I understand your frustration. Did Anthony share with you any insights about his last panic attack?
Tony Soprano : I told you remember? The gabagool and my mother when I was a little kid
Carmela Soprano : Right, yes
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you think that there's anything in the present family "dynamic" that could serve as a trigger? Something in your dialog perhaps?
Carmela Soprano : Excuse me?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I don't really know you that well, we're trying to get to root causes
Tony Soprano : Like maybe you do things that may have some affect on me?
Carmela Soprano : Oh, really?
Tony Soprano : What? People affect each other in life
Carmela Soprano : [to Dr. Melfi] oh I get it, is this how it works? You can't get any answers so you start looking for someone else to point the finger at?
Tony Soprano : She's not saying anything, why are you getting so defensive?
Carmela Soprano : You know what Tony? Maybe you should "explore" your own behavior, maybe you pass out because you're guilty over something. Maybe because of the fact that you stick your dick into anything with a pulse, you ever "explore" that as a root cause?
Tony Soprano : [Sarcastically] very nice, that's very nice
Carmela Soprano : Uh-huh
Tony Soprano : [to Carmela] I told you months ago I broke it off with that Russian person
Tony Soprano : [to Dr. Melfi] right?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Remains silent]
Carmela Soprano : It's incredible, it's like people who smoke their entire lives then they sue the cigarette companies when they get cancer
Tony Soprano : [Faces away from her] you know, you agreed to come here, oh forget it, this is fuckin ridiculous
Carmela Soprano : Right, just sit there, silence, anger, then you pass out and then you blame the rest of the world
Tony Soprano : [Sarcastically] yeah I love you too
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You're both very angry.

Carmela Soprano : Two weeks ago? Why didn't you say anything? Did you report it at least?
Meadow Soprano : Who? The rent-a-cops? Campus security is a joke
Carmela Soprano : Don't you think they should know they have a thief "preying" on the school?
Tony Soprano : [after entering the kitchen] Who? What're you talking about?
Meadow Soprano : [avoiding to involve him in their conversation] Nothing
Carmela Soprano : Her bike was stolen outside the library two weeks ago
Tony Soprano : The ten-speed? Did you lock it up?
Meadow Soprano : They used bolt cutters
Carmela Soprano : Some black guy from the neighborhood: one of the other kids saw him
Meadow Soprano : [irritated, noticing Tony smiling] What?
Tony Soprano : Did I say anything?
Tony Soprano : [while pouring himself a cup of orange juice, sarcastically] A black guy, imagine that
Carmela Soprano : [implying to him not to start an argument with Meadow after the incident between Tony and Meadow's African American boyfriend] Tony...
Tony Soprano : [sarcastically] You know, I can't believe it
Meadow Soprano : I'm not listening to this shit
Tony Soprano : Why don't you just admit it? You're thinking exactly what I'm thinking
Carmela Soprano : Tony, what did I say?
Tony Soprano : What is it my fault, you're twice as likely to get robbed by a black?
Meadow Soprano : [angrily] That is so fucking racist
Tony Soprano : It happens to be a fact
Meadow Soprano : [referring to the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan] Or who? David Duke?
Tony Soprano : No, try the FBI, I saw it on TV
Meadow Soprano : Oh, so now you're quoting the FBI?
Tony Soprano : I'm just telling you what I heard
Carmela Soprano : Tony, stop, now
Tony Soprano : Why?
Meadow Soprano : For your information, crime is an economic issue: not a racial one. White or African American, you're more likely to steal if you're in a lower income bracket which most African Americans are
Tony Soprano : Good, then next time, you'll feel better when the next one takes your car stereo
Meadow Soprano : [raises her voice] You are such a hypocrite
Tony Soprano : [raises his voice] This is what I've been trying to tell you all along: stay with your own people
