Mia: Put that in today's session notes, which I hope you keep now. 'Successfully shattered patient M's romanticized image of her narcissistic father.' Paul: Actually, what I would write is 'Mia, born to a depressed mother, idealizes her father so as not to feel completely alone. And this week, after finally confronting him, she can see her dad for who he really is.'
Mia: (to Paul) Is this how closure works? You remind me of my miserable family life, and then my love life, and then what? Global warming?
Paul: Of course you're free to leave therapy. But my guess is, until you untangle those crossed wires, the next man, and the one after that, and the one after that, they're gonna disappoint you too. Mia: That's my lifelong pattern? Because I've been too attached to bad dad? Why didn't you tell me this 20 years ago? I mean, what the fuck?!
Paul: Every time you stand in that courtroom to defend a client, I think you're actually defending your father to everybody, especially yourself. Mia: Shit. How long have you known that one?
