Quotes 

• Billy the Kid : I think I'll have another drink of water.

  Doc Holliday : What are you talking about? You didn't have one in the first place.

  Billy the Kid : I know, but I had the same idea about an hour ago.

  Doc Holliday : It wouldn't do any good. Take my advice.

  Billy the Kid : What?

  Doc Holliday : Killing a woman.

  Billy the Kid : Why not?

  Doc Holliday : Because they're all alike. There isn't anything they wouldn't do for you... or to you.

• [Pat and Doc rescue Rio, whom Billy has left bound, gagged and strung up by wrists within sight of a desert waterhole] 

  Doc Holliday : You know, I think he's in love with you.

  Rio : What are you talking about?

  Doc Holliday : The crazier a man is for a woman, the crazier he thinks and the crazier he acts.

  Rio : He's only crazy about one thing - himself.

  Pat Garrett : Hey, that gives me a thought. Maybe we'll get Mr. Billy after all.

  Rio : How?

  Pat Garrett : Like you said - if he's crazy enought to do you like this, maybe he's crazy enough to come back to turn you loose.

• Doc Holliday : Sonny, that head of yours is sure screwed on tight.

  Billy the Kid : If it wasn't, somebody would have knocked it off long ago.

• Doc Holliday : Well, Billy, I guess this is it. Men are pretty much like children after all. Have you ever seen two kids wrestling in the yard? They push and they tussle and maybe they look like they're fighting... but they're not. They're really friends and everything is fun. Then pretty soon they play a little too rough. One of them gets mad. And in the end, somebody always gets hurt. So for you and me, this is where somebody gets hurt. But when it's over, and however it turns out, son, no hard feelings.

• Doc Holliday : I need a little money and I thought maybe you'd like to come in with me.

  [Pat laughs] 

  Doc Holliday : What's the matter?

  Pat Garrett : I'll let you have the money, but if the deal's anything like that last one of yours, you better not tell me about it.

  Doc Holliday : Why not?

  [Pat pulls back his vest and reveals his Sheriff's badge] 

  Doc Holliday : Where'd you get that?

  Pat Garrett : Oh, they stuck it on me about two weeks ago.

  Doc Holliday : You're the last man I thought would be so easily satisfied.

  Pat Garrett : Well, l... l... , a man's gotta settle down sometime.

• Doc Holliday : Cutest little fella you ever saw. Mean as mean; but, I dote on him like he was pure rock candy.

• Doc Holliday : You're lookin' plenty sassy. You wintered kind of fat, didn't yah?

• Pat Garrett : Did you see anything of a strange strawberry roan?

  Mike - Waiter : Strawberry roan?

  Doc Holliday : Yeah. About 13 hands high and as cute as bug's ear.

• Billy the Kid : Doc, if you're not already fixed up, you can bunk with me tonight.

  Doc Holliday : No thanks, Billy. I've got a girl. She and her aunt just moved in town.

  Billy the Kid : Yeah?

  Doc Holliday : You got a girl, Billy?

  Billy the Kid : Nah, I ain't got nothin', except that horse.

• Billy the Kid : What, no kiss?

  Doc Holliday : No. He don't like mush.

• Doc Holliday : You can't fool me. A good-lookin' boy like you. You must have a girl somewhere.

  Billy the Kid : Nah. I don't trust 'em.

  Doc Holliday : Hey, you're pretty young to talk like that.

  Billy the Kid : Well, I've known quite a few.

  Doc Holliday : And they all did you dirty, eh, every one of them?

  Billy the Kid : Yeah, every one of 'em.

• Doc Holliday : Come on. Let's get out of here before this hothead makes us plug him.

• Doc Holliday : If he goes out of his head, tie him down. If the neighbors hear him yelling, well, tell 'em your aunt has smallpox. That'll keep 'em away.

• Doc Holliday : I guess you better cut his clothes off.

• Billy the Kid : Well, just to show you my heart's in the right place, I'll let you take your pick.

  Doc Holliday : Huh?

  Rio McDonald : You mean you'd trade me for a horse?

  Billy the Kid : It's up to Doc.

• Doc Holliday : I guess you figured you'd better come back and get Rio.

  Billy the Kid : You're daffy. I wouldn't come back two inches to get her.

• Doc Holliday : So long, Pat. Don't take any wooden nickels.

• Doc Holliday : I don't trust you. I think I'd rather have that cuckoo clock do the counting for me.

  Billy the Kid : Yeah, that's good enough. It's gonna strike in a minute. Should we pull on the last cuckoo?

• Billy the Kid : I'll show you how much I care about her. If you want her back, you can have her and welcome. Now what do you think about that?

  Doc Holliday : I don't want her. Cattle don't graze after sheep.

  Billy the Kid : Sheep? Sheep did you say?

  Doc Holliday : I didn't say goats or monkeys!

• Doc Holliday : Are you gonna fight or do you want me to nick your ears?
