American Gothic

Lucas: Either the appetite goes, or it becomes voracious. Pleasures disappear, tension comes over the face and body and the addict takes over the soul.

Lucas: Caleb, this... romantic love thing. Selena: What do you know about it? Lucas: From observation, quite a bit. It's really an addiction. No different than booze or drugs or cigarettes. And when you're in its clutches you no longer see the truth. You become totally selfish. Selena: Look who's talking. Lucas: And selfless at the same time. It makes you... stupid. Take Miss Coombs here. Caleb: She's not stupid. Selena: Thank you, darling.

Ben: Can I give you nice people a little bit of advice? Now Lucas and Selena, they fight, they may stray a little bit now and then, but those two are soldered together at the hip.

Lucas: In love you've got to go straight to the heart. Selena: That's why they invented the dagger.

Selena: You are the coldest man I know. Lucas: Yeah, but it's what you like. What you've always been attracted too, so save the sermon Florence Nightingale.

Lucas: You know what a conscience is? Caleb: It's like, when you do something wrong and it bothers you? Lucas: Well, not me.

Merlyn: Hello Caleb. Caleb: I'm dead, ain't I? Merlyn: God's plan works for us all. Caleb: Always figured I'd be afraid. Merlyn: Well you belong here. Lucas: Couldn't agree more. Although it may just be that your timing's off a little bit. You see Caleb; your sister isn't telling you everything. You still have a choice. Caleb: Why didn't you tell me Merli? Lucas: Cause she's afraid Caleb. She's afraid if you live a long and healthy life, you'll make all the wrong choices. See, there's that word again, choice. Caleb: You don't want me to go, do you? Merlyn: I love you Caleb. It's your choice.

Lucas Buck: A man without a plan isn't a man. Caleb Temple: I'd rather have a gun than a plan.

Lucas Buck: Ted, that man is half dead. And you halfway took us hostage. I'm gonna call you Half-Ted.
