Sophie quotes from In Treatment

Paul

[reading a report Sophie made him read] According to what it says here... it looks like you could have died too.

Sophie

Yeah, that would have solved a lot of problems.

Paul

What would it solve?

Sophie

Nothing. I didn't mean anything by it.

Sophie

Did you know, like, every girl there is a Mia or an Anna except me? They know it. They just don't do anything about it. They encourage it.

Paul

These girls, Anna and Mia, are they friends of yours?

Sophie

You don't know these girls? They're fun girls, especially Anna. Rexic...?

Paul

Anorexic. Okay. And Mia, bulimia?

Sophie

You're sharp as a tack.

Paul

Thank you.

Paul

I'm not a magician. I don't know anything more than what you've told me.

Sophie

I fucking hate you! You never say what you really mean. You know, you're just like all the rest of them. Why can't anyone ever tell anyone else the truth? I can't listen to any more of your stupid bullshit words.

Sophie

[recounting a perfect routine she did in the gym] I could feel everybody's eyes on my back. I wanted to turn around and just...

Paul

And what?

Sophie

Nothing.

Paul

No, come on, tell me.

Sophie

I wanted to flip them the bird with both hands like 'Fuck all of you and the fish you swam in on.'

Paul

A few minutes ago you said you had to run off to the gym in order to be with her [mother].

Sophie

How extraordinary, Dr. Freud. Whatever do you think I meant? Maybe it means that... No matter what I do, I can't get rid of her.

Paul

Maybe it means that, in order to keep her interested in you, you feel you have to run away.

Sophie

That doesn't even make sense. You sound like a fortune cookie.

Paul

No matter what you did, you are not responsible for your parents’ actions. The only actions we can control are our own. And the only power we have is how we treat other people and how we treat ourselves.

Sophie

So, you want me to forgive myself?

Paul

mm-mm

Sophie

[sigh] How?

Paul

Slowly. It’s going to take a while. It’s taken you a few years to fall into this and it’s probably going to take a while to get out of it. But you have to start trying now. Because you know something? You deserve to be happy.

Sophie

Qué vergüenza.

Paul

hmm?

Sophie

It’s a Spanish song and means What A Shame.
