Quotes 

• 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?
