Erika (1977)

Bruce Boxleitner: Luke Macahan

Quotes 

• Luke Macahan : That's strange. You'd kill a wolf for trying to kill your sheep but you won't kill a man that's trying to kill you. A wolf's only trying to get something to eat.

  Erika Hanks : A wolf has no soul.

  Luke Macahan : Neither do some men I've run across.

• Luke Macahan : You know, I got a little brother back home named Joshua. We call him Josh.

  Erika Hanks : From the Bible's Joshua?

  Luke Macahan : Oh, no, no, from my great-uncle Joshua. Yeah, folks say he used to run whiskey up and down the Mississippi. That was before he opened up a school for wayward girls and matches.

  Erika Hanks : But Joshua was a successor to Moses, it would not be permitted to call his namesake 'Josh'.

  Luke Macahan : I know, it would not be 'plain'.

• Luke Macahan : Bishop Benjamin, you just can't keep sticking me in the storeroom every time someone comes a lookin'.
