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.

Wyatt Earp : [to Billy Clanton] You think you're pretty tough, don't ya, son? I never knew a gunslinger yet so tough he lived to celebrate his 35th birthday. I learned one rule about gunslingers. There's always a man faster on the draw than you are, and the more you use a gun, the sooner you're gonna run into that man.

[In a threatening tone]

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.

Cotton Wilson : There's $20,000 in it for you - cash!
