Quotes 

• Whitey Bulger : Morris... me and you gotta have a sit dowm about something... what the fuck did you marinate this steak in 'cause it's outta this world! You're killin' me with this.

  John Morris : Ah, ah, ah... that's a family secret!

  Whitey Bulger : [Jokingly]  I gotta knife here. Ah, c'mon, you can do it. What's the secret family recipe? C'mon, what's the secret?

  John Morris : It's ground garlic and a little bit of soy.

  Whitey Bulger : That's it?

  John Morris : Yup.

  Whitey Bulger : I thought you said it was a family secret.

  John Morris : It's a recipe.

  Whitey Bulger : No... no. You said this was a family secret and you gave it to me *boom* just like fuckin' that. You spill the secret family recipe today, maybe you fuckin' spill a lil' somethin' about me tomorrow. Am I right in assuming that?

  John Morris : [Looking to Connolly]  I...

  Whitey Bulger : Don't look to John... he can't fuckin help you.

  John Morris : I was just sayin...

  Whitey Bulger : Oh you were just sayin'? Just sayin' get people sent to Allenwood. Just sayin' got me a nine year stretch in Levinworth and Alcatraz, do you understand? So... just sayin' can get you buried real fuckin' quick.

  [laughs Maniacally] 

  Whitey Bulger : Look at his fuckin' face! Hey! I'm just fuckin' with you. It's a fuckin' recipe! Couldn't give a shit! Tastes great, I'm fuckin' with you.

  John Connolly : [laughing nervously]  Yeah, well... you got me too. I'd like make a toast...

  [raises his glass] 

  John Connolly : ... to success.

  John Morris : To sucess...

  Whitey Bulger : [Clinging his cup against theirs]  Just gettin' started.

• Fred Wyshak : How come no one has nailed Whitey Bulger? He seems to be involved in every crime in the city, and yet the Bureau keeps saying he's clean!

  John Connolly : Well, what's Bulger done?

  Fred Wyshak : What's he done? Everything!

• John Connolly : Like it or not, Marriane, you married a street kid. And the streets taught me that you give and you get loyalty from your friends. And loyalty means a lot to me.

• John Connolly : Thank God for Whitey Bulger

• John Connolly : I'm not asking you to help me. I'm asking you to help your brother.

  Billy Bulger : That's the same thing now, isn't it?

• [from trailer] 

  John Connolly : Bulger's playing us, making a fool of the Bureau. We're in too deep, and he knows it! God help us all.

• John Connolly : Jimmy's no ordinary criminal.

  FBI Agent Charles McGuire : Well, you're right about that.

  [reading from dossier] 

  FBI Agent Charles McGuire : "A vicious animal who won't take no for an answer." "Violent decisiveness at any hint of betrayal." Oh! "A ripened psychopath determined to succeed above all else."

• Brian Halloran : You got me on, like, fifteen other things I didn't even do!

  John Connolly : What did you not do, Brian? Did you not kill your drug dealers in a Chinese restaurant? 'Cause that's why you're really here. That's all over the fuckin' street, so you thought you'd come in here and try to cop some immunity before the fact.

• John Connolly : I've known him since forever!

  Marianne Connolly : And you certainly hold your boyhood heroes in high regard. 'Jimmy' this, 'Jimmy' that...

  John Connolly : He was very good to me when I was little, Marianne, that's all you need to know.

  Marianne Connolly : [sarcastically]  How was he good to you, John? Did he take you trick-or-treating?
