• 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!

• 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]
