Analyze This
By Bob
Andelman
"How many more people
have to die for your personal growth?"
-- Dr. Jennifer Melfi, "The Sopranos"
Tony Soprano's psychiatrist gets a little
emotional at times; the stress of having a hit put on you by
Junior Soprano isn't easy to deal with. But she's asking an essentially
rhetorical question; get in the Boss's way and you get whacked.
Let it be known that you, too, will stop
at nothing in accomplishing your business objectives.

"Even though it's
my right, I ain't gonna take revenge. And you wanna know why?
Because you got a problem. You got a problem with aggression.
I don't know-maybe you weren't hugged when you were a kid. But
you oughta look inside yourself. Look inside the inner self and
find out who you are."
-Paul Vitti (Robert DeNiro) in "Analyze This"
Revenge on your enemies is not what your
inner child is crying out for. What it really wants is an almond
Biscotti and a smooth mocha latte. (This is not a common Mob
view, of course. It is presented merely in the interest of balance
and billable hours.)
