• Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday : Want a gun hand?

• 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 : Can't. The marshal of Abilene sent me here.

• 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.

  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?

  [In a threatening tone]

  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?

  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.

• Dr. John 'Doc' Holliday : I Like you, Wyatt Earp. I like your cut.

• Wyatt Earp : You can stay and you can play on one condition: no knives, no guns and no killings.
