Dennis Quaid credited as playing...
Doc Holliday
- Doc Holliday: Dave Rutabaugh is an ignorant scoundrel! I disapprove of his very existence. I considered ending it myself on several occasions but self-control got the better of me.
- Wyatt Earp: What's wrong with you?
- Doc Holliday: What is wrong with me? What have you got? I am dying of tuberculosis. I sleep with the nastiest whore in Kansas. Everyone who knows me hates me, and every morning I wake up surprised that I have to spend another day in this piss-hole world. (To onlookers) All you can kiss my rebel dick!
- Wyatt Earp: Not everyone who knows you hates you, Doc.
- Doc Holliday: I know it's not always easy being my friend, but I'll be there when you need me.
- Morgan Earp: I say we just kill 'em all.
- Doc Holiday: You know Morg, Wyatt is my friend, but I believe I'm beginning to love you.
- Frank Mclaury: You're next on my list, Holliday. You better get used to seeing my face, 'cause it's the last thing you're gonna see.
- Doc Holliday: McLaury, seeing your face would be a pleasant change. I understand most of your enemies got it in the back.
- Virgil Earp: We're gonna disarm them and take 'em in. You understand, Doc?
- Doc Holliday: Oh, I understand Virgil. But
- [taps shotgun]
- Doc Holliday: do you think they will?
- Warren Earp: Wyatt, you're still a marshal around here, aren't you?
- Doc Holliday: Sure. But now he's going to be a marshal and an outlaw. Best of both worlds, son.
- John Shanssey: Doc...
- Doc Holliday: John.
- John Shanssey: Doc, this here is Wyatt Earp.
- Doc Holliday: Wyatt Earp... I've heard that name before. Can't remember where, but it wasn't good.
- Frank Mclaury: You're first on my list Holiday. Spend the rest of your time expecting to see me.
- Doc Holiday: Mclaury, seeing you would be a nice change. I understand most of your enemies got it in the back.
- Doc Holliday: Wyatt, you ever wonder why we been a part of so many unfortunate incidents, yet we're still walking around? I have figured it out. It's nothing much, just luck. And you know why it's nothing much Wyatt? Because it doesn't matter much whether we are here today or not. I wake up every morning looking in the face of Death, and you know what? He ain't half bad. I think the secret old Mr. Death is holding is that it's better for some of us over on the other side. I know it can't be any worse for me. Maybe that's the place for your Maddie. For some people, this world ain't ever gonna be right.
- [Wyatt takes his first drink for many years]
- Wyatt Earp: Is that supposed to let me off the hook?
- Doc Holliday: There is no hook my friend. There's only what we do.
- Doc Holliday: Do you believe in friendship, Wyatt Earp?
- Wyatt Earp: [nods head silently]
- Doc Holliday: So do I. Do you have many friends?
- Wyatt Earp: [shakes head 'no' silently]
- Doc Holliday: Neither do I.
- [indicates Shanssey]
- Doc Holliday: John here has been a good friend to me when many others would not. *Dave Rutabagh* is an ignorant scoundrel! I disapprove of his very existence. I considered ending it myself on several occasions, but... self-control always got the better of me.
- [takes a slug of whiskey]
- Doc Holliday: Besides, I'm a sporting man. I'm not a killer.
- [goes into a coughing fit]
