Quotes 

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [during her therapy session]  The woman is fifty years old: sometimes I just want to scream in her face "Quit whining, no wonder he left you." Her supervisor looks at her cross-eyed and I get a call at three o'clock in the morning, she wants to talk about her father laughed at her when she fell off her bicycle when she was seven

  Dr. Elliot Kupferberg : Does she call your emergency number?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [irritated]  No, that's not the point: these fucking interruptions. I was raped

  Dr. Elliot Kupferberg : When you have feelings of your own, who was listening?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : That's right damn it. I have to sit there and take care of these people hour after hour with all their problems and some of them are very real and very serious and I'm sorry I care, I really do but it's hard sometimes. I just wanna say "I hurt too"

  Dr. Elliot Kupferberg : Good, I'm sure, that's why your here

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [sighs]  I'm sorry

  Dr. Elliot Kupferberg : No need to be sorry. You've been through such trauma, it takes tremendous strength of will and inner resource to "soldier" on you to do your work

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Thank you, I try, I really do. It's just... hard sometimes

  Dr. Elliot Kupferberg : And patient Soprano, how's all that?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : He offered to escort me to my car, I almost fell in his arms crying
