Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Wyatt Earp: All gunfighters are lonely. They live in fear. They die without a dime, a woman or a friend.

Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: If I'm going to die, at least let me die with the only friend I've ever had!

Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Want a gun hand?
Wyatt Earp: You? No, thanks.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I do handle them pretty well. The only trouble is, those best able to testify to my aim aren't around for comment.

Wyatt Earp: Hold up your right hand. Do you solemnly swear to uphold... oh, this is ridiculous. You're deputized. Grab some gear, I'll get the horses.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Wait a minute, don't I get to wear a tin star?
Wyatt Earp: Not on your life!

Wyatt Earp: Look, Holliday, as long as I'm the law here, not one of those cowpokes is going to cross that deadline with a gun. I don't care if his name *is* Shanghai Pierce.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Well spoken. I'll repeat those words at your funeral.

Wyatt Earp: We'd like you to come to the wedding, Doc, - if it doesn't interfere with your poker.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I'm not good at weddings - only funerals. Deal me out.

Wyatt Earp: [to Billy Clanton] You think you're pretty tough, don't ya, son? I never knew a gunslinger yet so tough he lived to celebrate his 35th birthday. I learned one rule about gunslingers. There's always a man faster on the draw than you are, and the more you use a gun, the sooner you're gonna run into that man.

Kate Fisher: [hears banging on her door] Who is it?
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Open the door!
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [breaks the door open] Start talking, Kate.
Kate Fisher: Doc, I don't know nothin' about it.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: TALK.
Kate Fisher: Why? What difference does it make now? I sure messed everything up real good, ain't I? I wanted you back... because I love you. And... I... I thought if Wyatt was out of the way, you'd come back to me. That's why I kept quiet when I heard them.
[breaking down]
Kate Fisher: I must've been out of my mind.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Where?
Kate Fisher: The Clanton ranch.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Who was there?
Kate Fisher: [getting emotional] I didn't want that boy to be killed.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [losing patience] Who was there?
Kate Fisher: Ike, Finn, Cotton Wilson, and the MacLowerys.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: And Ringo?
[Kate doesn't answer]
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [enraged] WAS RINGO THERE?

Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [after shooting a few antagonists] Anybody else want to try their luck?
Wyatt Earp: [Herding the arrested cowboys to jail] Get moving! - Keep moving, all of ya!
Johnny Ringo: [Holding his wounded arm] All right, Doc.
[In a threatening tone]
Johnny Ringo: We ain't finished yet!
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: You would have been, but I felt in a charitable mood tonight.

Kate Fisher: What difference does it make to you where I go or who I take up with?
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Shut up!
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [throwing her dress on the floor] Get your things together. You're leaving!
Johnny Ringo: [entering from the bedroom] She's staying here!
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: Keep out of this, Ringo!
Johnny Ringo: You got no right to come bustin' in here!
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I'm talking to Kate. Take a walk!
Kate Fisher: Anything you got to say you can say in front of him.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [with contempt] You slut!
Johnny Ringo: Wait a minute, Holliday. You don't talk to my woman like that!
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [contemptuously] Your woman? Anybody's woman!

Charles Bassett: [after losing consecutive hands of blackjack] You know Doc, if we were playing for real, I might be compelled to take a look at that deck
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I might be compelled to make you.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: [Charlie goes for his gun; Doc draws first and offers it to Charlie] Here, take mine.
Charles Bassett: [Handling Doc's gun] It's a good thing Wyatt doesn't let us draw these; somebody might get hurt.

Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I'm a gambler. Money's just a tool of my trade.
Wyatt Earp: Of course, you will guarantee you won't lose.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: I never lose. You see, poker's played by desperate men who cherish money. I don't lose because I have nothing to lose, including my life.

Billy Clanton: I don't know why I get into gunfights. I guess sometimes I just get lonely.

Kate Fisher: Why don't you put a rope 'round my neck, and pull it when you want me?

Cotton Wilson: There's $20,000 in it for you - cash!
Wyatt Earp: $20,000! The wages of sin are rising!
Cotton Wilson: $20,000 against a six foot hole in Boot Hill or a $20 a month pension - IF you live long enough to collect it.

Cotton Wilson: [wanting to leave before the gunfight] Ike, I can't take this kind of gunplay anymore. Let me out.
Ike Clanton: [angrily] Get over there.

Ike Clanton: [sees Cotton trying to ride away when shooting starts] Cotton! You chicken-livered miserable... !

Wyatt Earp: You can stay and you can play on one condition: no knives, no guns and no killings.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: No knives, no guns, no killings.
Wyatt Earp: That's it.
Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday: You have my word as a gentleman.

[first lines]
John Shanssey: [lighting a cigar as Ed and his gangmen enter the saloon] Hello Ed.
Ed Bailey: Where's Doc Holiday?
John Shanssey: Over at the hotel more than likely. He's been expecting you...
Ed Bailey: Get word over there I'm waitin' for him.
John Shanssey: No need to do that Ed, the whole town knows you're waitin' for him by now. Before there's another killing...
Ed Bailey: You just go on servin' your watered down liquor, and keep outta my business Shanssey.
John Shanssey: Your brother came in here stinkin' drunk spoilin' for a fight; he drew a gun on Holiday.
Ed Bailey: [demandingly ordering the bartender] Whiskey, over there.
[points at the table]
John Shanssey: Huh, have it your way Ed. Check your guns if ya wanna stay here.
Ed Bailey: [he and his gangmen gruffly leave their guns and holsters on the bar and sit down at a table] Leave the bottle.
[pours whiskeys all around]
