Quotes 

• Carmela Soprano : [running into each other in the supermarket]  Hi, how are you?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : How are you is more the point

  Carmela Soprano : I'm running around crazy here: my son was supposed to get coffee but he told the maid to, it's the one thing I have to have. I got your note, it was so thoughtful

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I've been calling the hospital and they say Anthony is stabilized

  Carmela Soprano : That's what they say

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : If you or anyone needs anything, to talk or to run winterference with the doctors, don't hesitate to call

  Carmela Soprano : I appreciate that, I have plenty of people around I can talk to

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Of course, good luck

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : How can I help you?

  Carmela Soprano : It's about my son... both kids really, this situation with the shooting. I'm very worried about them

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Sure

  Carmela Soprano : It's a very serious problem, you know with guns in the home: it's a "societal concern." Obviously, we learned our lesson too late. I immediately removed all the firearms from the house after what's going on with Tony's uncle. Anyway, last night, I was shrieking at my son and I said something very cruel, and especially since he is trying so hard

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : How are you doing?

  Carmela Soprano : I'm frazzled certainly, but I am more worried about them: they're not "kids" anymore. When they were young, there were certain things we could tell them about Tony's life... lies, just call them what they were

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : so, the issue isn't just guns in the home?

  Carmela Soprano : [after thinking it over]  honestly, I think about my son in front of those news cameras, having to "vouch" for all of this. My daughter and her friends, they have to face all these years of façading"

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [referring to Carmela's children]  "They" do or "you" do?

  Carmela Soprano : The minute I met Tony, I knew who that guy was. On our second date, he brought me and mother each a dozen roses and my father a two-hundred-dollar power drill

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Not the typical story of "young love"

  Carmela Soprano : and I don't know if I loved him in spite of it or because of it. My parents weren't like that and I knew, whether consciously or not consciously, I knew behind that power drill was some guy with a broken arm, you know, or worse

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : And you coped with that, how?

  Carmela Soprano : I would go to my priest and cry about how bad I felt on how my husband made his money but that was bullshit because there are far bigger crooks than my husband

  Carmela Soprano : [becoming emotional]  But the kids, they... don't decide who their born to

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : So, now what?

  Carmela Soprano : Yeah, that's just it, now what? It's all out in the open now, the whole thing and they're not in grade school anymore. They've become... the longer they've stayed with us

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [assuming what she's referring to]  Complicit

  Carmela Soprano : [wipes away her tears]  Oh, God

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Putting aside the moral and legal issues, clarity can't be a "bad thing"

  Carmela Soprano : Yes, Tony's second night in the coma, I told him I loved him. When was the last time I said that?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Are you afraid you aren't going to feel that way, when he wakes up? Anthony tells me things are better between you two
