Quotes 

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What was it like sitting sitting there with Fran?

  Tony Soprano : It was a little weird at first. Here I am comforting my father's mistress, my mother's lyin' there dead.

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Are you attracted to her?

  Tony Soprano : Come on, she's old enough to be my mother.

  [Dr. Melfi shrugs] 

  Tony Soprano : Oh, Jesus Christ, it's an expression. Don't cream yourself. I did not want to fuck my mother! You should have seen her in her housedress with that hairnet. This conversation would be over in two seconds.

• Tony Soprano : [Referring to his father]  I don't fuckin live with my mistress. I mean his fuckin slippers?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Go on

  Tony Soprano : When I left there, I started thinking about it: when I was sixteen years old I came home from school and there was this note from my aunt Quinn. My mother became pregnant, another kid after my sister Barbra "change of life" baby they called it. She started bleeding and I was supposed to find my father and get him over there ASAP. I called every number I had. I left messages all over town then finally ten o'clock at night he called me back. He came and got me the next morning. We went to the hospital, walked into her room. She could've fuckin died from a miscarriage, fuck her

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Was there any blame on his part? This man you emulate? The lies? The betrayals with other women?

  Tony Soprano : [Remains silent] 

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Listen to me, this is very important, your mother had her faults but after all this time what should we do with this woman? Burn her at the stake? You need to forgive her and move on

  Tony Soprano : [Realizes she's right by changing the subject]  she made my father give my dog away

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I thought your father was a big tough guy?

  Tony Soprano : He probably he didn't want to hear her bullshit anymore, gave my dog away to his girlfriend's kid, big fuckin deal, if it was up to her, she would've had it killed

• Tony Soprano : [referring to his father's former mistress]  So I talked to her for like an hour, turns out her and my old man had a "thing", right up until he died. He got from her what he couldn't get at home, support, love, a smile when you walk through the fuckin door

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you think that justifies his infidelity?

  Tony Soprano : She drove him into that woman's arms, my mother, to all his women. I'll tell you one thing: all the years he was rotten in that grave, I can't remember once my mother visiting him but this lady Fran...

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [interrupts him]  It's possible your mother found it very painful?

  Tony Soprano : [sarcastically]  Oh, poor her
