The Irishman

Bill Bufalino: Frank, I want you to meet my cousin, Russell Bufalino. Frank Sheeran: How are you? [shakes hands] Russell Bufalino: Hi, nice to meet you. Frank: You helped me with my truck a couple of months ago. Russell: Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. The timing chain. Frank: Yeah. Russell: Did you get it fixed? Frank: I fixed it the next day, yeah. Russell: That a boy. Frank: Thanks again. Russell: Ah, you're welcome. It's my pleasure. I'm glad you fixed it. [pause] Better watch. There's a lot of tough guys around here. Did he [Bill] tell you? You're not afraid of tough guys, are you? Frank: No. Russell: I didn't think so. I'll see you around. Bill: Thanks, Russell. Frank: Your cousin saved my ass. I could'a lost the whole load. Bill: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he knows everything about trucks, really. Yeah, he worked at Canada Drive for a long time.

Frank Sheeran: [voice over] Russell had a piece of everything. He had this store in Pittston called Penn Drape & Curtains. And he ran everything out of there. Who knew what it all was? I mean, I'm sure the man had partners. They always have partners. Nobody keeps all the money. But everybody listened to Russ. That I can tell you. You wanted to bribe a judge, you asked Russell. You didn't know how much to bribe him, Russell was gonna tell you. You wanna promote one of your guys, Russ would tell you you could or you could not. You wanna make somebody disappear, you gotta get Russell's permission. You know, no two ways about it. And when you did something for Russ, you did it yourself. Like Russ used to say... Russell Bufalino: [cuts to Russell, explaining straight to the camera] When I ask somebody to take care of something for me, I expect them to take care of it themselves. I don't need two roads coming back to me.

Jimmy Hoffa: Who said it? Frank Sheeran: Don't matter who said it. Hoffa: It matters. Was it Russell? Frank: No. Hoffa: No. Of course it's not Russell. And the little cocksucker from the Miami fiasco? No? Not him? No? Then who? Frank: I'm gonna tell you. Tony. Hoffa: Tony? Which Tony? They're all named Tony. I mean, what's the matter with Italians that they can only think of one name? Frank: The other Tony. Hoffa: What Tony?

Whispers DiTullio: To tell you the truth, I'm a little concerned. Frank Sheeran: [narrating] Whenever anybody says they're a little concerned, they're very concerned. Whispers: As a matter of fact, I'm really more than a little concerned. Frank: [narrating] And when they say they're more than a little concerned, they're desperate.
