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?
