Lucas Buck quotes from American Gothic

Selena

What did you do, Lucas?

Lucas

You know me better than that love. I don't do anything. Things just happen.

Gail

You don’t have a heart. You’re not even human.

Lucas

Some would consider that a positive, not a negative.

Lucas

We're meant to be together, you know that.

Gail

No! None of this was meant to happen!

Merlyn

What's happened with my brother?

Lucas

Notice a little change have you? Now why don't you help me out of here and I'll explain everything over a cup of java?

Merlyn

I want you to die.

Lucas

You may get your wish, Merli-ann. But what you seem to have forgotten is that Caleb will just pick up the sword. If he hasn't already.

Merlyn

His behavior is changing.

Lucas

And I'm only sick. Imagine how charming he'll be after I suffocate. Get me out Merli. I get healthy and Caleb will turn around. But if I die, you'll see a monster in that child like you've never known before.

Merlyn

Well, at least you're alive. And since I helped bring you back, you're going to do the same for Caleb.

Lucas

Are you suggesting that we had a deal.

Merlyn

Yes.

Lucas

News to me.

Merlyn

Look I don't have time for your games, Lucas. Gail is pregnant with your child.

Lucas

So? That's just a little insurance policy, case the boy don't go my way. An heir and a spare.

Merlyn

The heir is about to eliminate the competition.

Caleb

Lucas?

Lucas

It's all right, son.

Caleb

What happened?

Lucas

You fell.

Caleb

Where's Merli?

Lucas

Gone.

Caleb

Gone where?

Lucas

I believe she's part of you now. There had to be a sacrifice, Caleb. One of us had to go... and it wasn't going to be me.

Lucas

You know what a mentor is?

Caleb

Half-man, half-beast?

Lucas

That's a Minotaur. A mentor's like a father, a wise advisor.

Caleb

You want to be my mentor?

Lucas

I'll help you find the way, Caleb. Growing up's like groping in the dark, sometimes you need someone with a flashlight.

Gail

Then what? you own my soul?

Lucas

I don't want your soul.
