The Sopranos (TV Series)

Second Opinion (2001)

Lorraine Bracco: Dr. Jennifer Melfi

Quotes 

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [seeing Carmela for a session without Tony]  You sounded tense on the phone

  Carmela Soprano : I just wanted to make sure it was ok if I came alone? I mean Tony couldn't make it. I love the artwork you have here: the country scenes

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : thank you

  Carmela Soprano : [referring to the nude statue in the waiting area]  That statue is not my favorite

  Carmela Soprano : [when Melfi doesn't respond]  Oh, come on, look, it's not like this when me and Tony are here together, you never give him the silent treatment

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Is that what you think? I'm giving you the silent treatment?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [when she doesn't respond]  Maybe you can tell me why you came today?

  Carmela Soprano : I'm worried about my husband: the mood swings. I thought... when his mother died maybe... but still half the time he doesn't even talk to me. You've seen him get like that, the day he stood here like a wall. I know he is your patient and I am only the patient's wife but you try living like that twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and see how you feel

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I see

  Carmela Soprano : Oh, you do? Well, for your information, I am not the only one: the fact is Tony isn't under the weather today, he just didn't feel like coming. Fuck that shit is what I think he said

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Usually when that happens when we touch on a nerve, he was distressed over this young man's death in the garbage compactor

  Carmela Soprano : He didn't say garbage compactor, did he?

  Carmela Soprano : [when Melfi doesn't respond, referring to they didn't realize Tony was lying to them on the cause of death of the young man when he first told them]  See?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What is it you believe?

  Carmela Soprano : You know about his job, he reports to a strip club, who knows how he spends his days?

  Carmela Soprano : [after beginning to cry]  I'm sorry. I'm just frustrated, Tony's been out of sorts for so long. There is nothing I can do to help him

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I think coming to therapy with him has stirred up a lot of feelings in you that you would like to address with somebody?

  Carmela Soprano : Oh, please, I am just a little emotional today

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I would like to help you but as you pointed out your husband is my patient

  Carmela Soprano : I am not the one who needs mental help, I just needed to vent
