Ryan Gaerity quotes from Blown Away (1994)

Ryan Gaerity

You have me wrong. I'm not the destroyer, I'm the creator.

Ryan Gaerity

You might want to mind your feet there, Liam. Betty's a very particular bomb. I hate guns. You fell for it. That wasn't the real trigger, this is.

Ryan Gaerity

The real fireworks for Katie and Lizzy would be later. Why don't you just settle down with Betty, catch it on the telly. I wasn't expecting you so early. It's funny how things always work out for the best.

Ryan Gaerity

Down the hatch, Liam. I'll be leaving you with my masterpiece. I'd love to show you how it works, but really there's no time.

Ryan Gaerity

So, you found us, Liam? And your country's birthday as well?

Jimmy Dove

You always made us laugh, Ryan.

Ryan Gaerity

We sure had good time, didn't we, Liam?

Jimmy Dove

Yeah, we did, and you're not fun anymore. (frisks Gaerity) Do you have any weapons, Ryan?

Ryan Gaerity

No, no, just this. (reveals a remote control) Look. Now you're gonna blow my brains or shoot my finger off? What do you think it's the safest course of action, Liam? Think it over.

Jimmy Dove

Why don't you do it? I'm tired of war. Go ahead, take us both.

Ryan Gaerity

No, no, it's not for us. It's for your lovely wife. It could be her farewell performance. Now you would be back away from me that goddamn pistol.

Jimmy Dove

You're chickenshit, Ryan.

Ryan Gaerity

There she is sawing away on her fiddle for 500,000 beautiful Americans celebrating revolution. I'll bet little Lizzy is there as well. She's waiting for the fireworks, Liam.

Jimmy Dove

Ryan, don't give me your political bullshit. You're doing all this out of revenge.

Ryan Gaerity

She's waiting for the rocket's red glare...

Jimmy Dove

That's 25 years ago!

Ryan Gaerity

And the bombs doing you know what!

Ryan Gaerity

Mind your feet there, Liam. Betty's a very particular bomb. I hate guns. You fell for it. That wasn't the real trigger, this is.
