Dr. Summers quotes from White Collar

Precisely. The harder a person fights to be perfect, the more he suppresses his true nature.

Are you? Just because a person starts doing good things doesn't mean he wants to stop doing bad things.

This is not about me.

You're redirecting...

Because you’re uncomfortable.

I’m asking if you really want to.

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.

And what if that's not possible?

Neal

[chuckles] That doesn't sound very encouraging.

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?

You're too interesting to be normal.

Neal

What makes me so interesting?

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.

Do you think you're good with people?

Neal

No more than you.

It's my job.

Neal

Mine too. You have an aggressive approach.

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?

Not yet. But you will be. In time.
