  Wyatt Earp : No, sir.

  Doc Holliday : I thought not. My patients hate me.

• Doc Holliday : Hold on. What's your name?

  Wyatt Earp : Wyatt Earp.

  Doc Holliday : [chuckles]  And all the time I thought it was a fluke shot you threw at Skunky. Handsome, fast with a gun and in the best of health. Get out of my sight, sir.

• Doc Holliday : I was talking to Bill Tilghman about you a couple of months ago. He called you, "Deacon Earp".
