John Morris Quotes in The Car (1977)

Amos Clements: [complaining about Morris' french horn] And if I hear another sound out of that thing, I'll ram it so far up your ass, you'll be farting music for a year.

John Morris: [thoughtfully considering the idea] Wouldn't that be fantastic? Farting music. For a year!

Amos Clements: So you're the one that woke me up this morning with that awful bugle music.

John Morris: That's impossible sir, that's not even a bugle, it's a French horn.

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]

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.

John Morris: Stevie, what's the matter with you? You're quiet tonight, huh?
