White Collar · Season 1, Episode 15

Dr. Summers and Neal in “Unfinished Business”

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

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

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

And what if that's not possible?

[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.

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

You're too interesting to be normal.

What makes me so interesting?

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

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?

No more than you.

It's my job.

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.

You don't think I'm being honest?

Not yet. But you will be. In time.
