Neal Caffrey: You make something from that?
Dr. Mara Summers: It's too early to diagnose.
Neal Caffrey: But you've got something.
Dr. Mara Summers: Your answers are unique, in summation.
Neal Caffrey: I assure you I can handle it, Doctor.
Dr. Mara Summers: Your behavior is sociopathic
Neal Caffrey: [chuckles] I'm sorry?
Dr. Mara Summers: You work on perception, the perception of others, how you think they'll feel. This influences your actions and thoughts more so than your own emotions. Deceit and manipulation are the essential characteristics of the disorder. You excel at both.
Neal Caffrey: Deceit and manipulation are generalities that can apply to anyone who lies, and everyone lies, including you, Dr. Summers.
Dr. Mara Summers: That may be true, but not everyone believes their own lies.
Neal Caffrey: Why would I delude myself?
Dr. Mara Summers: Because you don't want anyone to see your vulnerabilities
Neal Caffrey: I don't strike you as confident.
Dr. Mara Summers: Confident people admit to their flaws. You don't. Instead you smile, a lot.
Neal Caffrey: You're confident. What are your flaws?
Dr. Mara Summers: I can be aggressive, like you pointed out earlier. I also pick at my nails when I get nervous.
Neal Caffrey: Nobody's perfect.
Dr. Mara Summers: Precisely. The harder a person fights to be perfect, the more he suppresses his true nature.
Neal Caffrey: [suddenly very insecure] I'm..I'm reformed.
Dr. Mara Summers: Are you? Just because a person starts doing good things doesn't mean he wants to stop doing bad things.
Neal Caffrey: Of course not, because everyone has done something bad at some point in their life. Even you.
Dr. Mara Summers: This is not about me.
Neal Caffrey: I thought confident people could admit to their flaws.
Dr. Mara Summers: You're redirecting...
Neal Caffrey: So are you.
Dr. Mara Summers: Because you're uncomfortable.
Neal Caffrey: You don't think I can change.
Dr. Mara Summers: I'm asking if you really want to.
