In honor of the Twins bullpen and a certain straight-fastball throwing member we might start calling “The Gascan” for his ability to make leads and baseballs explode, we give you quotes today from what are considered some of the best explosion-filled action/adventure movies of all time.

1. But if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco.

2. You Americans, you’re all the same. Always overdressing for the wrong occasions.

3. This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time. You wake up at Air Harbor International. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

4. I’ve seen horrors … horrors that you’ve seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that … but you have no right to judge me.

5. It’s not everyday you find out that you’re responsible for 3 billion deaths. He took it pretty well.

6. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge … Me.

7. You want to know the secret to surviving air travel? After you get where you’re going, take off your shoes and your socks then walk around on the rug bare foot and make fists with your toes.

8. You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel.

9. He knew the risks, he didn’t have to be there. It rains … you get wet.

10. You are nine hours behind the toughest target you have ever tracked. Now I want everyone to sit down, strap in, and turn on all you’ve got. That would mean now.

Fasola-link! The momentary density of things.
