Val Kilmer credited as playing...
Doc Holliday
- Johnny Ringo: My fight's not with you, Holliday.
- Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. "Play for Blood," remember?
- Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about.
- Doc Holliday: I wasn't.
- Curly Bill: [takes a bill with Wyatt's signature from a customer and throws it on the faro table] Wyatt Earp, huh? I heard of you.
- Ike Clanton: Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?
- Wyatt Earp: I'm retired.
- Curly Bill: Good. That's real good.
- Ike Clanton: Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law just don't go around here.
- Wyatt Earp: I heard you the first time.
- [flips a card]
- Wyatt Earp: Winner to the King, five hundred dollars.
- Curly Bill: Shut up, Ike.
- Johnny Ringo: [Ringo steps up to Doc] And you must be Doc Holliday.
- Doc Holliday: That's the rumor.
- Johnny Ringo: You retired too?
- Doc Holliday: Not me. I'm in my prime.
- Johnny Ringo: Yeah, you look it.
- Doc Holliday: 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?
- Kate: You don't even know him.
- Doc Holliday: 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 Earp: [to Ringo] He's drunk.
- Doc Holliday: In vino veritas.
- ["In wine is truth" meaning: "When I'm drinking, I speak my mind"]
- Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis.
- ["Do what you do" meaning: "Do what you do best"]
- Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus apella, non ego.
- ["The Jew Apella may believe it, not I" meaning: "I don't believe drinking is what I do best."]
- Johnny Ringo: [pats his gun] Eventus stultorum magister.
- ["Events are the teachers of fools" meaning: "Fools have to learn by experience"]
- Doc Holliday: [gives a Cheshire cat smile] In pace requiescat.
- ["Rest in peace" meaning: "It's your funeral!"]
- Tombstone Marshal Fred White: Come on boys. We don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language.
- Doc Holliday: Evidently Mr. Ringo's an educated man. Now I really hate him.
- Doc Holliday: What did you ever want?
- Wyatt Earp: Just to live a normal life.
- Doc Holliday: There's no normal life, Wyatt, it's just life. Get on with it.
- Wyatt Earp: Don't know how.
- Doc Holliday: Sure you do. Say goodbye to me. Go grab that spirited actress and make her your own. Take that beauty from it, don't look back. Live every second. Live right on to the end. Live Wyatt. Live for me. Wyatt, if you were ever my friend - if ya ever had even the slightest of feelin' for me, leave now. Leave now... Please.
- Wyatt Earp: Thanks for always being there, Doc.
- Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
- Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
- Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
- Doc Holliday: Revenge.
- Wyatt Earp: For what?
- Doc Holliday: Bein' born.
- Doc Holliday: [to Johnny Ringo, after shooting him in a duel] You're no daisy! You're no daisy at all. Poor soul, you were just too high strung.
- Frank McLaury: [a mortally wounded McLaury is taking aim at Doc] I've got you now... you son of a bitch!
- Doc Holliday: [holds up arms] You're a daisy if you do!
- [Morgan shoots McLaury]
- Doc Holliday: [taunting a card player who believes Holliday is cheating him] Why Ed does this mean we're not friends anymore? You know Ed, if I thought you weren't my friend... I just don't think I could bear it!
- Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double.
- [Billy Clanton draws a knife]
- Doc Holliday: [takes out a second gun] I have two guns, one for each of ya.
- Billy Clanton: [as Doc Holliday is drunkenly playing a somber piece on the saloon piano, Clanton speaks, just as drunkenly] Is that "Old Dog Trey? Sounds like "Old Dog Trey."
- Doc Holliday: Pardon?
- Billy Clanton: Stephen Foster. "Oh, Susannah", "Camptown Races". Stephen stinking Foster.
- Doc Holliday: Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne.
- Billy Clanton: A which?
- Doc Holliday: You know, Frederic fucking Chopin.
- Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Doc, you oughta be in bed, what the hell you doin this for anyway?
- Doc Holliday: Wyatt Earp is my friend.
- Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Hell, I got lots of friends.
- Doc Holliday: I don't.
- Ike Clanton: What is that now? Twelve hands in a row? Holliday, son of a bitch, nobody's that lucky.
- Doc Holliday: Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
- Doc Holliday: It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.
- Wyatt Earp: Doc you're not a hypocrite, you just like to sound like one.
- Wyatt Earp: How many cards do you want?
- Doc Holliday: I don't want to play any more.
- Wyatt Earp: How many?
- Doc Holliday: Damn it, you're the most fallible, stubborn, self-deluded, bullheaded man I've ever known in my entire life.
- Wyatt Earp: I call.
- [looks at Doc's cards]
- Wyatt Earp: You win.
- Doc Holliday: You're the only human being in my entire life that ever gave me hope...
