  • Doc and Wyatt's brothers egging him about his obvious attraction to Josephine, daring him to make a move at a party, which he doesn't.
    Doc: I stand corrected, Wyatt. You are an oak!
    [Later when Josephine invites him for a picnic and rides off ahead of him]
    Wyatt: [To himself] Yeah, I'm an oak alright... [Follows after her]
  • Doc Holliday defusing a tense standoff between the Cowboys and the Earps by spinning a cup around his finger in mocking of Johnny Ringo's admittedly impressive Gun Twirling. Even the Cowboys though it was funny!
  • "I have not yet begun to defile myself."
  • After being told he's probably so drunk he's seeing double, Holliday responds, "I have two guns. One for each of ya."
  • Wyatt's line to Johnny Tyler (the obnoxious, bullying card dealer): "You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?"
  • One exceptionally cranky Cowboy gives Wyatt a little too much guff while springing Ike from jail. Wyatt retorts back by quickly snatching the man's own gun from his belt and hammering him square in the face with it, shutting the jerk up but good.
  • After Wyatt drives Johnny Tyler out of the hotel, Tyler comes back with a shotgun to get revenge, only to be interrupted when Doc Holliday comes into the scene. Tyler stops short entirely in shock when he hears Doc address Wyatt by name and realizes just who he was messing with. Doc and the Earp brothers exchange greetings and have a pleasant conversation for a couple minutes with Tyler standing awkwardly in the background, almost unnoticed, until there's a lull in the conversation and the four of them look over at the man.
    Doc: Oh, Johnny, I apologize, I forgot you were there. You may go now.
    Johnny: (slowly starts backing away)
    Wyatt: Leave the shotgun.
    Johnny: (slowly setting the gun on the ground) Thank you.
  • "Maybe poker's just not your game, Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!"
