Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Alright just relax, focus on your breathing, slowly
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It's not that I just...
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : No, please focus. I've got my medical bag in case
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I had a fight with my mother and had a fuckin panic attack
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Ok forget that for now
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Carmella was supposed to come over with some fuckin yarn for booties she was making for Meadow. She was late, oh why the fuck go into it?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Close your eyes, focus on your breathing
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : She was carrying on and I say to her "Carmella loves you, you've got to understand she's got a three month old," she kept going on and I started screaming at her so I left. I went over to the car then boom and cut my fuckin head open
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : And your cousin doesn't know this?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No I lied. What am I going to tell them? I had a fight with my mother and fainted? That's why I missed the job. Jesus fuckin Christ!
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : That's a lot to get off your chest
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I thought I was smart and that's why I bumped him up to protect him, it turns out I'm just a robot to my own pussy-ass weakness
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : His also a capable person
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You know sometimes what happens in here is like taking a shit.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Yes. Ok. Although I prefer to think of it as childbirth.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Trust me. It's like taking a shit.

Tony Soprano : So, I solved a major problem business-wise. I put a very good piece of man power to work: my cousin Tony
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You mentioned how close you two were
Tony Soprano : You know when we were kids they used to call me "Tony Uncle Johnny" and call him "Tony Uncle Al."
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Right yes you've told me all that
Tony Soprano : Anyways his a very smart guy, his got an IQ of 158
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you put a lot of stock into that number?
Tony Soprano : Why? Are you going to tell me its bullshit? Because I took that test and if someone gets a 158, they know a few things
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : So we can assume his smarter than you
Tony Soprano : Honestly I think his smarter than you because of the way you keep shitting on the test. I was having second thoughts myself but this was a good move. Carmella and I slept together.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What was that like?
Tony Soprano : It was nice, very erotic, she's been using that perfume that she wears. The poor thing was starving for it honestly. I'm the only man she's ever been with.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Did you discuss it?
Tony Soprano : No I left before she work up
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : How come?
Tony Soprano : Because if I was still there when she woke up, it'd send "mixed signals" you know
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Before Tony's cell phone rings] I'm not sure that's the best...
Tony Soprano : [Answers the call, over the phone] no tell him I got fax machines out my ass

Dr. Jennifer Melfi : And you were feeling so positive
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It "flushed" over me
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You are dissolving a twenty year marriage
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It's not my mother fuckin God damn marriage ok? I had another panic attack and I thought I had this shit beat
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What happened?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I was playing golf with a friend of mine. He was talking about this young guy who passed away. I guess I became overcome with emotion because they had to help me off the tee. It's not the first time it's happened recently.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I wish you had told me
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Well, I wished you cured it
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : When the attacks first reappeared, what was going on in your life?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You'd just reap off my affections
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : When you actually passed out, were you thinking about me?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : My cousin moved into my house and the cleaning girl was crying on the phone about her cousin went off the road in some Mexican bus wreck or something and I remember feeling inside on how I wanted to fuckin choke her because it was always something going on with her, then the next thing boom!
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Your cousin was at your house?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : "Tony uncle" whatever
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Correcting her] Uncle Al
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : And your maid was crying about her cousin?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : The other day at the golf course my cousin came into my head too
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : In what way?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : He hurt his foot
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You were so concerned about your cousin's foot you collapsed on the golf course? His a grown man isn't he? Is he in danger of losing his foot?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Fuck his foot, it's not the foot, forget the foot. I worry about him, his right out of jail ok? Look, the reason he went to jail is because he got pinched hijacking a truck of TV's in 1996 and they hooked him on a RICO and he got 17 years and I was supposed to be there the night of the hijacking
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I see
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Oh, you see
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Why didn't you go?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I got jumped by a bunch of Moulinyans, they were trying to take my shoes and I fought them off. They fuckin cut my head open, the fuckin jiggaboo cock suckin mother fuckers...
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Interrupts him] ok forget that, and your cousin went to prison, that's tremendous guilt to carry
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Referring to the military classification that is given to someone trying to join the military indicating that person is not acceptable for service because of medical reasons] If he went to Nam, I was 4-F and that's how our friends look at it
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : And that's why you favored tony Uncle Al
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You know in 17 years I did so good, he lost his wife, and his daughter
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : No wonder why your having anxiety attacks
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe if you came clean with him...
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Before beginning to breathe deeply, nods] yeah well
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You ok?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah, go on with what you were saying
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Are you having an attack now?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No, I had a huge lunch that's all, it's gas
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What is it Anthony?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Alright, the night he got pinched I had a fuckin panic attack from my mother God damn it. I didn't know what it was then
