Armageddon Movie Quote

Ronald Quincy: [holds out his hand] Imagine a firecracker in the palm of your hand. You set it off, what happens? You burn your hand, right? You close your fist around the same firecracker,

[clenches his hand into a fist]

Ronald Quincy: and set it off. Your wife's gonna be opening your ketchup bottles the rest of your life.
