Slaves (1969)

Shepperd Strudwick: Mr. Stillwell

Quotes 

• Luke : "Luke", you said, "I trust you. Take these horses up into Ohio and bring me back the money. And then I'll make you free". As God is my judge, Master, that's what you said.

  Mr. Stillwell : And that's what I meant.

  Luke : And I turned my back on freedom, walked back into slavery, back into hell, cos' you trusted me and I trusted you. And now you're telling me, I'm sold.

  Mr. Stillwell : I'm as helpless as you.

  Luke : But you ain't sold, Master. Say something about that.

  Mr. Stillwell : There's nothing I can say.

  Luke : But there's got to be something you can say, Master. I come back!

  Luke : If there's nothing to be said, Master, then go.

  [Stillwell leaves] 

  Luke : Lord, what have I done wrong?
