“I think Chris is pushing the envelope here... I think Turner might have a hit on his hands.”
“Don't you want to lock balls up a mountain and then have them come crashing down in an avalanche? I do. That's crazy!”

“If this thing plays good then Turner, Turner's coming. He's coming with the thunder baby.”
