- Quotes
Whitey Bulger: [from trailer]
[at dinner]
Whitey Bulger: What did you marinate this steak in? Because it's out of this world! You're killing me with it!
John Morris: Now, now, it's a family secret.
Whitey Bulger: Oh, come on! You got to tell me that! What's the secret? Come on, you can do it, come on, that is one of the best goddamn steaks I have ever had in my entire life. What's the family secret recipe?
John Morris: It's ground garlic, with a bit of soy.
Whitey Bulger: That's it?
John Morris: Yeah, that's it.
Whitey Bulger: [pause] I thought it was a family secret.
John Morris: It's a recipe.
Whitey Bulger: No, no. You said to me this is a family secret, and you gave it up to me, boom just like that. You spill the secret family recipe today, maybe you spill a little something about me tomorrow, hm?
John Morris: I was just saying that...
Whitey Bulger: You were just saying? "Just saying" gets people sent away. "Just saying" got me a nine-year stretch in Alcatraz, you understand? So, "just saying" can get you buried real quick.
[suddenly laughs]
Whitey Bulger: Look at his face!
