Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : It's Tuesday three o'clock so we've got to talk about something ok? Spin the wheel", here's something that's been bothering me I gave my daughter a car

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Really?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah a used car, one of those SUV's, a 92 pathfinder. The thing is that it belonged to a friend of hers from school and it came into my possession incurred of a debt by the kid's father and this is the way he elected to make payment

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You gave your daughter her friend's car?

  Tony Soprano : It was a nice, safe, car to which I had the pink slip

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What's bothering you?

  Tony Soprano : I must've known that she'd known it was her friend Eric's car and how I got it and she'd freak out

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Then why did you give it to her?

  Tony Soprano : I don't know, I mean for all these years I've been shielding her and protecting her from certain "truths" so now I want to rub her nose in it.

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Any thoughts on that?

  Tony Soprano : This kid's father, his fuckin degenerate gambler but his also a respected business man in the community and everything that goes along with that

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : One of your "Happy "wanders"

  Tony Soprano : How do you remember this shit?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Smiles, remains silent] 

  Tony Soprano : So it becomes my fault he lost his kid's car? I've got to look out for him because his a sick bastard? My friend Artie Bucco got a restaurant right? Now believe me no one's telling him to refuse a plate a fettuccine to a guy that's eating himself to death

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe that's what you were saying to your daughter

  Tony Soprano : What?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : By giving her the SUV, wanting her to confront some of these "moral ambiguities"

  Tony Soprano : [Implying that he doesn't understand her terminology]  English

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Meadow's going to be going away to college next year

  Tony Soprano : Yeah that's why she needs the car

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : "Leaving the nest"

  Tony Soprano : Not those fuckin ducks again

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe you were preparing her for the reality of teaching her to "fly"?

  Tony Soprano : You know your people are something, I gave my little girl a car to rub her face in shit and you're telling me I did something noble?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : We're getting to something here

  Tony Soprano : [Realizing she's right]  time's up

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Look, we still have time and we're doing good work, what? You feel you're cured?

  Tony Soprano : Alright, I'll sit here but I got nothin else to say

• Carmela Soprano : [during family dinner, to Tony]  while you were sleeping, we found out Hunter Scangarelo got into Reed College

  Meadow Soprano : [to her mother, irritated]  can't you be happy for Hunter? Reed was her first choice: she'd die if she didn't get in. Why do you always think everything has something to do with me?

  A.J. Soprano : because you didn't get in anywhere

  Carmela Soprano : [after chastising AJ for insulting his sister]  nobody has heard anything for months: Hunter took early acceptance so she found out early, what that means is she could only apply to that one college. Your sister, on the other hand, gave herself a lot of options such as Bowdoin, Holy Cross, Georgetown...

  Meadow Soprano : you know Georgetown is a total reach for me

  Carmela Soprano : oh, please they'd be crazy not to want you

  Meadow Soprano : if I can in there, I can probably get into Berkeley?

  Tony Soprano : over my dead body

  Meadow Soprano : there are more Nobel Prize winners in the San Francisco Bay area than any other area on the planet

  Tony Soprano : Nobel Prize for what? Packing Fudge? Look, you know you can go anywhere you want to go to college but I'll tell you where I'm not gonna pay for, and that's Berkeley

  A.J. Soprano : I want to go to Harvard or West Point

  Tony Soprano : well, you might get to see them on television but that's about it: you wanna go to college like those, you gotta crack the books

• Carmela Soprano : [referring to their daughter's main choice on where to go to college]  What is this obsession with Berkley? What? Is she trying to get away from us?

  Tony Soprano : Absolutely: that's her job

  Carmela Soprano : Go ahead, laugh. What are you gonna do if she gets into Berkley and not into Notre Dame and Georgetown?

  Tony Soprano : She's in the National Honor Society for Christ's sake

  Carmela Soprano : Don't be naïve, please? How do you think Hunter Scangarelo got into Reed College? Her uncle. That's how, him and his wife are graduates

  Tony Soprano : That little freak show isn't gonna get into college anyway

  Carmela Soprano : Second Baby Boom: grades, great SAT scores, it's not enough anymore, it's all who you know and how many buildings you give

  Tony Soprano : What'd you want me to do, huh?
