Chuck Connors: Lucas McCain

Quotes 

• [comparing their troubles to those of Job in the Old Testament] 

  Lucas McCain : Mark, Job was as miserable as a man could be... but he knew he'd been good and righteous... and he'd not lost faith with the Lord... The Lord was so proud of Job that he restored all the old man's children, and his house and his camels and sheep and gave him over twice as many cattle as before and Job lived over one hundred and forty years as happy as a birddog.

• Lucas McCain : Well tell him to shoot! If you've got guts enough! You better do it Jackford or I'll be waitin' out in the brush every time you step out the door! I'll kill your stock and I'll burn your barn! I'm gonna pay you back Mr. Jackford! Now what's it gonna be?

• Lucas McCain : Your BOYS burnt down my house!

• Lucas McCain : You can't by it for money, marbles or chalk Mr. Jackford! You're gonna keep your stock, your men, and your dogs off my property until I tell you different.

  Oat Jackford : And if I don't?

  Lucas McCain : I'll bury 'em there!

• Lucas McCain : Old man if you wasn't so slow you'd be wearin' a brokin' wrist.
