Lorraine Bracco: Dr. Jennifer Melfi

Quotes 

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : My son, I don't know what he understands. I'm trying to talk to him about the immigrants: His talking about room service

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : We need to talk about your recent behavior in here. Your angry tirade

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You want to talk about that now? That was weeks ago

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : It was my judgement at the time, you were in crisis about Gloria's suicide

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Didn't you get the flowers I sent?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Your behavior was unacceptable: you cannot have these outbursts and expect to redeem yourself with a bouquet

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm sorry, alright?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : It's good that your sorry but no, it's not alright. We've been down this road before

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I know, I know

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : The fact that your angry is fine. It's ok to talk about your anger but when it manifests itself in physicality, it becomes unacceptable

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Hey, I never laid a finger on you

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You "loomed", you threw my tissue holder

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah, and I picked that up. I was very upset: you lied to me

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I did not lie to you

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You withheld information about a very sensitive subject. Alright, look, I know what I did was wrong, ok? And you may not believe this but I did exercise impulsive control and I have been controlling my anger: this thing with my son, I went to show him the old neighborhood and we got harassed by these two crackheads. One of them had a gun and the other one threw a bottle at my car. Now, it may not sound like much, but I let it go, I drove away

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [leans forward]  Well, I ask in the future, you extend to me the same courtesy as you would to a crack addict

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Alright, as long as we're being truthful here, you know opening up? I've been holding a grudge against you for recommending that Wendy Klober, the half assed adolescent shrink, that stupid bitch almost sent my daughter to Barcelona

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [when Melfi sighs, after he realizes there's no comparison]  Your right, it's no excuse
