Page 2 of 5
Ike Clanton
[Doc Holliday has beaten Ike Clanton at a game of poker once again.]

What is that now? Twelve hands in a row? Holliday, son of a bitch, nobody's that lucky.

Doc

Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game. I know, let's have a spelling contest!

[Doc Holliday joins the Earps just before the gunfight at the OK Corrall]

It's not your problem, Doc. You don't have to mix up in this.

[Glares at Wyatt]

That is a hell of a thing for you to say to me!

[Frank Stillwell, and Ike Clanton follow Wyatt and Virgil Earp to a train station in Tucson with plans to ambush them and their wives. Wyatt and his men were prepared, and Wyatt has just shot and killed Stillwell.]

All right, Clanton... you called down the thunder, well now you've got it! You see that? [Opens his overcoat, revealing a badge.] That says "United States Marshal".

Ike
[fearfully pleading for his life]

Wyatt, please...I...

Take a good look at him, Ike.... 'cause that's how you're gonna end up! The Cowboys are finished, you understand me? From now on, I see a red sash, I kill the man wearin' it! So run, you cur... run! Tell all the other curs the law's comin'! You tell them I'm comin, and hell's comin' with me, you hear that? Hell's comin' with me!

[Johnny Ringo is awaiting Wyatt Earp's arrival in anticipation of a pistol duel.]

Well... I didn't think you had it in you.

Doc
[lifting head to reveal his face]

I'm your huckleberry..

Doc
[Ringo stops short, looking startled.]

Why, Johnny Ringo. You look like somebody just...walked over your grave.

Fight's not with you, Holliday....

Doc

Oh, I beg to differ, sir. You and I started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?

I was just fooling about.

Doc
[smirks]

I wasn't. And this time...[opens overcoat to reveal badge] It's legal.

Stilwell
[Stilwell is yelling to Mattie as their train pulls off, aiming his shotgun at the train.]

Hey Mattie, where's Wyatt?
Wyatt [off camera] Right behind you Stilwell! [Wyatt shoots Stilwell]

[The Earp brothers, their wives, Doc and Big Nose Kate are in the balcony at the Bird Cage Theatre. Wyatt is reading a playbill after viewing a theatrical performance of Goethe's Faust.]

I wonder who the devil was?

[Josephine Marcus removes her mask, revealing herself to have been playing the part of Satan]

I'll be damned!

Doc
[leaning forward]

You may indeed, sir, if you get lucky.

[Wyatt has patiently watched a blustery faro dealer belittle a group of players for several seconds. The dealer finally notices Wyatt's presence and looks up at him.]

Somethin' on your mind?

Yeah, I'd just like to let you know that you're sitting at my seat.

Is that a fact? You run your mouth awful reckless for a man that don't go heeled.

Oh, no need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.

Is that a fact?

Hmm...that's a fact.

[stands up]

Well, gee, mister, I'm real scared.

Damn right you're scared, I can see that in your eyes.

[Tyler reaches for his pistol]

Go ahead, skin it! Skin that smokewagon and see what happens. [backhands Tyler]

[tearing up]

Look mister, I'm gettin' tired of your...

[backhands Tyler again]

I'm gettin' about sick of your gas, now jerk that pistol and go to work! [backhands Tyler, who's mouth has started to bleed, yet again] I said throw down, boy. You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?

[Doc Holliday, Jack Johnson, Jack Vermillion and Sherman McMasters have just witnessed an improbable gunbattle victory in which Wyatt Earp stepped directly into the open line of fire and came out unharmed.]

Where is he?

Doc

Down by the creek..[sarcastically] Walkin' on the water.

[Last lines]

Remember what I said about dying people seeing a white light? It ain't true! I can't see a damn thing! [Dies]

[On his deathbed, he notices he has bare feet, despite saying he wanted to die with his boots on]

Well, I'll be damned. Oh, this is funny.

[quoting Coleridge]

Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.
