Quotes11

  • 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?

  • 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."]

  • 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.
  • Curly Bill: Hey Johnny, what did that Mexican mean by a sick horse is going to get us?
  • Johnny Ringo: He was quoting the Bible, Revelations. "Behold the pale horse". The man who "sat on him was Death... and Hell followed with him".
  • Johnny Ringo: [waiting by an oak tree for Wyatt Earp for a showdown, he believes the person approaching is Wyatt] Well,I didn't think ya had it in you.
  • Doc Holliday: I'm your huckleberry.
  • [Ringo is startled that it's Holliday and not Wyatt]
  • Doc Holliday: Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave.
  • Johnny Ringo: Fight's not with you, Holliday.
  • Doc Holliday: I'll beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?
  • Johnny Ringo: I was just foolin' about.
  • Doc Holliday: I wasn't. And this time...
  • [opens his coat to reveal a U.S. Deputy Marshal Badge]
  • Doc Holliday: ... it's legal.
  • Johnny Ringo: All right, lunger. Let's do it.
  • Doc Holliday: [they both start moving in circles slowly into position for a showdown, staring at each other without blinking] Say when.
  • Doc Holliday: [they both draw but Holliday is a tad quicker and shoots Ringo in the head and Ringo struggles to stay standing and finally falls] Poor soul. You were just too high-strung.
  • [Holliday places the badge on Ringo's corpse]
  • Doc Holliday: [Holliday hears running footsteps and turns to see Wyatt Earp approaching] I'm afraid the strain was more than he could bear. Oh, I wasn't quite as sick as I made out.
  • Wyatt Earp: Good God.
  • [knells to examine Ringo and picks up the badge]
  • Doc Holliday: My hypocrisy goes only so far.
  • Wyatt Earp: All right. Let's finish it.
  • Doc Holliday: Indeed, sir. The last charge of Wyatt Earp and his immortals
  • Johnny Ringo: [Ringo has taken Holliday up on his offer to 'finish the game'] All right, 'lunger'. Let's do it.
  • Doc Holliday: Say when.
  • Florentino: [attempting to translate what the Mexican priest said] He talkin loco... crazy... somethin' about a sick horse comin' to get us.
  • Johnny Ringo: That's not what he said, you ignorant wretch. Your Spanish is worse than your English.
  • Wyatt Earp: I just want you to know it's over between us.
  • Curly Bill: Well... bye.
  • Johnny Ringo: Smell that, Bill? Smells like someone died.
  • [while watching a play in which Faust sells his soul to the Devil]
  • Curly Bill: You know what I'd do? I'd take that deal 'n' crawfish, then drill that ol' Devil in the ass. What about you Juanito, what would you do?
  • Johnny Ringo: I already did it.
  • Johnny Ringo: I want your blood. And I want your souls. And I want them both right now!
  • Johnny Ringo: [Ringo is trying to get McMasters to rejoin the Cowboys] So, there's nothin' I can say to get you to come back?
  • Sherman McMasters: Not after what you done. Not after shootin' at the Earp's women.
  • Johnny Ringo: All right then, I guess you can just get back on your horse and ride back down there to your new friends.
  • Ike Clanton: [placing a shotgun to McMaster's head] Hey. I just got one question; how're you planning on gettin' back down there?
  • Johnny Ringo: You gonna stick with your new friends?
  • Sherman McMasters: 'Least they don't go around scarin' women.
