Quotes 

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you want to tell me what your thinking?

  Tony Soprano : Believe me, you don't want to know. You want to know what I'm thinking? Seriously?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Nods] 

  Tony Soprano : I'm thinking I'd like to take a brick and smash your fuckin face into fuckin hamburger

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : OK

  Tony Soprano : Don't worry, I know I broke your coffee table and it's not going to happen again but you asked: I told

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : But you'd like to smash my face

  Tony Soprano : Not really, it's just a way of describing how I'm feeling

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you think making hamburger out of me would make me feel better?

  Tony Soprano : Mother of Christ, is this a "woman thing"? You asked me how I'm feeling. I tell you how I'm feeling and now your going to torture me with it. I don't know who I'm angry at, I'm just angry ok? I mean why the fuck am I here? I even asked to come back. I got the world by the balls and I can't stop feeling like a fuckin loser

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Who makes you feel like a loser? Your mother?

  Tony Soprano : Please, we wasted enough oxygen on that one. It's everything and everybody. I see some guy walking down the street with a clear head. You know the type, his always fuckin whistling, like the happy wanderer. I just want to go up to him and rip his throat open. I want to fuckin grab him and pummel him for no reason, why should I give a shit if a guy's got a clear head? I should say "good for you."

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Let's get back to smashing my face

  Tony Soprano : [Annoyed, leans back on his chair and moans]  Jesus Christ

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : No, I think it all ties in

  Tony Soprano : Alright, sometimes I resent you making me feel like a victim that's all

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I make you feel like a victim?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah, remember the first time I came here? I said the kind of man I admire is Gary Cooper: the strong silent type and how all Americans are crying and confessing, complaining, a bunch of fuckin pussies, fuck them, and now I'm one of them: a patient

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Your parents made it impossible for you to experience joy

  Tony Soprano : Yeah, see? There you go again

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You said yourself your not the happy wanderer

  Tony Soprano : Well I'm more like one of those assholes, fuckin jerk offs, and douche bags I see leaving this office

• Tony Soprano : [referring to how Tom Giglione, Sr. died]  This gust of winds comes: knocks him off the roof, all for a satellite dish

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : That's very sad

  Tony Soprano : Yeah

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : How old?

  Tony Soprano : Sixty-five. the guy works his whole life, takes care of his family, does the "right thing." One day after he retires... it's freaky

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [referring to the American writer]  Carlos Castaneda said " Live every moment as if it was your last dance on earth"

  Tony Soprano : [mistaking Castaneda for Carlos Monzón, a boxer]  Who the fuck listens to prize fighters? Ali maybe? He had a little wisdom

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Well, at least Tom Sr. isn't the happy wanderer anymore

  Tony Soprano : What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : He got "his", you don't have to pummel his ass: his joined the ranks of the unlucky

  Tony Soprano : Maybe you know what you're talking about but I don't

  Tony Soprano : [changing the subject]  I found out I had another uncle: a retarded uncle... my father's brother that nobody told me about. you believe this shit?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Was he seriously developed mentally disabled?

  Tony Soprano : serious? No he had everybody in stitches back then

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Now that you found out about a retarded family member, do you feel better about coming here?

  Tony Soprano : [confused]  What?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Is it permissible now? Is it enough of a sad tragedy that you can join the douche bags?
