Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : Jennifer, civilization...

Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [during her therapy session, referring to Tony] Richard was right: I've been "charmed" by a sociopath, why didn't I listen?
Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : Why do you think?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Why did I reject a good man like Richard in the first place? If you think about my life, it's so "textbook." Marry a man ten years my senior, of course Richard's gonna be "protective" and "patriarchal" and then I reject him for exactly that
Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : There's nothing wrong with wanting to be safe: it's a basic human need

Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Please with the terminology...
Dr. Elliott Kupferberg : You know psychotherapy is "limited" in the treatment of anxiety disorder, now you've medicated Soprano properly, you've helped him "gain" what "insight" in what his able to absorb... it's time to send him on to a behaviorist
