White Collar, Season 5

[Start of session, she pours Neal a glass of water]

Dr. Summers:
Tell me, what kind of change are you looking to make with your life?

Neal:
I guess I'm looking for some normalcy. [picks up glass] Thank you.

Dr. Summers:
And what if that's not possible?

Neal:
[chuckles] That doesn't sound very encouraging.

Dr. Summers:
I'm not here to encourage you. I'm here to help you discover the truth about yourself, so you can accept it.

Neal:
I have to accept that I can't be normal?

Dr. Summers:
You're too interesting to be normal.

Neal:
What makes me so interesting?

Dr. Summers:
Your pathological assumption that you need to be the smartest person in the room at all times.

Neal:
Maybe you're the one assuming things. According to all these diplomas on your wall, you're a lot smarter than me, but then again, those are just papers, not people.

Dr. Summers:
Do you think you're good with people?

Neal:
No more than you.

Dr. Summers:
It's my job.

Neal:
Mine too. You have an aggressive approach.

Dr. Summers:
And you're already withholding. But that's natural. We need to know one another better to build trust.

Neal:
You don't think I'm being honest?

Dr. Summers:
Not yet. But you will be. In time.
