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&quot

Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis.

("Do what you do" meaning: "Do what you do best&quot

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.&quot

Johnny Ringo: (pats his gun) Eventus stultorum magister.

("Events are the teachers of fools" meaning: "Fools have to learn by experience&quot

Doc Holliday: (gives a Cheshire cat smile) In pace requiescat.

("Rest in peace" meaning: "It's your funeral!&quot

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.
