[Inside the Glenwood Santorium]
"How we feelin' today, Doc?"
"I'm dyin'. How are you?"
"Pretty much the same."
"So now we can add "self-pity" to your list of frailties?"
"Alright, Doc. Alright, how many cards you want?"
"I don't want to play anymore."
"How many?"
"Damn it, you're the most fallible, stubborn, self-deluded, bullheaded man I've ever known in my entire life."
"I call. [looks at Doc's cards] You win."
"Yet, with all ... You're the only human being in my entire life that ever gave me hope. [pauses, reminiscing] I was in love once. My first cousin. She was 15. We were both so ...."
"That's good, Doc. That's good. What happened?"
"She joined a convent over the affair. She was all I ever wanted. What did you ever want?"
"Just to live a normal life."
"There's no 'normal life,' Wyatt, it's just 'life.' Get on with it."
"Don't know how."
"Sure you do: say goodbye to me, go grab your computer, and fire off an interesting question to mattycamp@gmail.com for this week's Battle Red Bag. Take that humor from it; don't look back. Email another question next week. Email right on to the end. Email, Wyatt. Email for me. [pauses, collects himself] Wyatt, if you were ever my friend --- if ya ever had even the slightest of feelin' for me --- email now. Email now, please."
"Thanks for always being there, Doc."

Don't forget Sam Elliot
He is just a bad ass in general
"If my hips had pockets, I wouldn't wear pants at all." @NotBurtReynolds
Definitely
But Elliot’s role was pretty straight forward in this one, whereas Kilmer’s was complex considering he had to play a dying lunger.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
It is unhealthy how much I love this movie

I appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds....
I will send a question

It appears Mr. Ringo is an educated man. Now I really hate him.

Why, Ike, whatever do you mean?
Maybe poker’s just not your game, Ike. I know! Let’s have a spelling contest!

You know what I'd do? I'd take that deal 'n' crawfish, then drill that ol' Devil in the ass. What about you Juanito, what would you do?
I already did it

Oh. Johnny, I apologize; I forgot you were there.
You may go now.

best movie ever....
Doc Holliday: [to Johnny Ringo, after shooting him in a duel] You’re no daisy! You’re no daisy at all. Poor soul, you were just too high strung. It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear.

Billy Clanton: [as Doc plays piano] Is that "Old Dog Trey"? That sounds like "Old Dog Trey."
Doc Holliday: Pardon?
Clanton: Stephen Foster. “Oh, Susannah.” “Camptown Races.” Stephen stinkin’ Foster!
Doc: Ah, yes. Well, this happens to be a nocturne.
Clanton: A which?
Doc: You know: Frederic Fucking Chopin.

Billy: Well, if it isn't the drunk piano player.
You’re so drunk, you can’t hit nothin’. In fact, you’re probably seeing double.
Doc: I have two guns, one for each of you.

I'm in my prime.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

This scene is unbelievable
Johnny Tyler: Is something on your mind?
Wyatt Earp: Just want to let you know you’re sittin’ in my chair.
Johnny Tyler: Is that a fact?
Wyatt Earp: Yeah, it’s a fact.
Johnny Tyler: Well, for a man who don’t go heeled you run your mouth kind of reckless, don’t you?
Wyatt Earp: No need to go heeled to get the bulge on a tub like you.
Johnny Tyler: Is that a fact?
Wyatt Earp: Mm-hmm. That’s a fact.
[Johnny Tyler stands up.]
Johnny Tyler: Well, I’m real scared.
Wyatt Earp: Damn right, you’re scared. I can see that in your eyes.
[Wyatt walks up to Johnny as Johnny reaches for his gun.]
Johnny Tyler: All right now.
Wyatt Earp: Go ahead. Go ahead, skin it. Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.
Johnny Tyler: Listen, mister, I-I’m gettin’ awful tired of your—
[Wyatt slaps Johnny hard in the face.]
Wyatt Earp: I’m gettin’ awful tired of your gas. Now jerk that pistol and go to work.
[Johnny doesn’t do anything and Wyatt slaps him in the face again.]
Wyatt Earp: I said throw down, boy.
[Wyatt slaps Johnny harder and when Johnny turns to look at Wyatt his mouth is bleeding.]
Wyatt Earp: You gonna do somethin’ or just stand there and bleed?
[Johnny still doesn’t do anything.]
Wyatt Earp: No? I didn’t think so.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.

It should be Credit,
As the word is a 3rd conjugation verb, and not a 1st (it does look like a cognate of do, however). Nice usage of ellipsis, however. /Latin teacher.

That is,
Unless you meant to use the subjuntive, of course, but I took it as an indicative, since it seemed to make the most contextual sense, though I am open to correction.

Reminds me of high school and the three years of Latin I took
I’ve lost most of it now, but I can still sing “God rest ye merry gentlemen” in Latin when Christmas rolls around
