Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : I was feeling good, all of a sudden I'm back to square one

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What'd you mean?

  Tony Soprano : I had another one of those panic attacks this morning, but not the whole thing. It was right there under the surface, that feeling like I got Ginger ale in my brain

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Are you taking your medication?

  Tony Soprano : Not everyday

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Is that what the prescription says?

  Tony Soprano : [Implying his not following the prescription instructions]  another thing to feel bad about

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Well, can you tell me what led up to this?

  Tony Soprano : [Takes his notepad out of his back pocket and tosses it on her coffee table]  you want my log? That I'm supposed to write everything down for you? Look, it's the shit I've got to do for Christmas

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Well, that's true, isn't it?

  Tony Soprano : Look, the question is: what am I gonna do about Jackie? Should I tell my wife? Meadow... it'd break heart if she knew

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [before Tony abruptly gets up to leave]  On another subject, I was thinking what we were talking about the last time you were here: you know your friend who was working for the federal government?
