A scene from Tombstone 1993
Johnny

And you must be Doc Holliday.

Doc

That's the rumor.

Johnny

What about you, are you retired?

Doc

Not me. I'm in my prime.

Johnny

Yeah, you look it.

Doc

[incredulously]

And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?

Big Nose Kate

You don't even know him.

Doc

Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him.

Wyatt

[haltingly, to Ringo]

He's drunk..

Doc

En vino veritas. [Latin: "In wine is truth".]

Johnny

Age quod agis. [Latin: "Do what you do best".]

Doc

Credat Judaeus apella, non ego. [Latin: "The Jew Apella may believe it, not I", loosely meaning "I do not believe drinking is what I do best".]

Johnny

Eventus stultorum magister. [Latin: "Events are the teachers of fools.", loosely meaning "Fools have to learn from their experiences."]

Doc

[flashing an evilly playful smirk]

In pace requiescat. [Latin: "Rest in peace." loosely meaning "The experience that you learn from will be your funeral."]

Marshal Fred White

Come on boys. We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language.

Doc

That's Latin, darlin', evidently Mr. Ringo here's an educated man. Now I really hate him.
