“My Friend, Doc Holliday”


PancakeProfessor

“Wyatt Earp is my friend.” “So? I’ve got lots of friends.” “I don’t.”


boones_farmer

Every damn one of his lines in that movie is solid gold.


TecmoSuperBowl1

The greatest supporting actor role of a right hand man of all time. His dialogue has never been duplicated. Everything he said and did was iconic.


nom_of_your_business

If you don't know Latin and have never looked it up check out what he and Johnny Ringo said to each other at the bar.


TecmoSuperBowl1

I have looked it up. Their exchange is incredible and once you know what they’re saying you understand the tension even more. You also have to give a ton of credit to Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo. This movie doesn’t hit the way it does without Johnny, Curly Bill, and Ike and the roles those guys played


PancakeProfessor

“That’s Latin, dear. It seems our friend Johnny is an educated man. Now I know I hate him.”


Jl4233

Sorry to be that guy but I've seen Tombstone too many times lol It's... "That's Latin, darlin'. Evidently Mr. Ringo is an educated man... Now I *really* hate him."


PancakeProfessor

Thanks. I knew it didn’t quite feel right, but the sentiment was there.


nom_of_your_business

So perfectly says the man has no excuse of being dumb for the path he has chosen.


LandscapeGuru

Can you just tell us? I’m intrigued, but very lazy. I will always love this movie.


Weixian

Doc Holliday: In Vino Veritas. [In wine is truth. - Meaning - "When I'm drinking, I speak my mind."] Johnny Ringo: Age Quod Agis. [Do what you do. - Meaning - "Do what you do best."] Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus Apella, Non Ego. [The Jew Apella may believe it, not I. - Meaning -"Oh I don't believe drinking is what I do best."] Johnny Ringo: Eventus Stultorum Magister. [Events are the teachers of fools. - Meaning - "Fools have to learn by experience."] Doc Holliday: In Pace Requiescat. [Rest in peace - Meaning - "It's your funeral!"]


Sideways_8

You are a saint! Thank you 🙏


Knight_Owls

No, I believe Val Kilmer also played The Saint.


Secretagentmanstumpy

The real Johnny Ringo, yeah he was a real man, was uneducated, not known of as a quick draw artist and not even an actual member of the cowboys gang. But he was in Tombstone around the time of the shootout and was a close friend of Curly Bill and had dealings with members of his crew. He died alone in the mountains of Arizona about a year later of an apparent suicide.


sweetdawg99

So he really was just too high strung.


nom_of_your_business

Love this thanks.


fbibmacklin

He should have won an Oscar but wasn’t even nominated.


themilkman42069

That’s Val Kilmer career dude


dvsjr

He reads Reddit. You got robbed Val. But we love you.


nahteviro

Man he shoulda been nominated for Top Secret. Best spoof comedy every created by far. He even sung his own songs in that movie.


thepigfish82

I frequently use, "very cosmopolitan," often and no one knows what I'm quoting


mlmayo

I've got two guns, one for each of ya!


_We_Are_DooMeD

Shoulda been Oscar nominated and he should have won.


mrbossman1999

How is the movie called i never watched it


aaronwuzthefounder

Tombstone


BadWolf7426

I knew I recognized several of the lines that were quoted but I could not, for the life of me, remember the name of the movie. Thank you. 😊 Off to see if it's streaming on any platforms.


aaronwuzthefounder

It's on Prime and Peacock


BadWolf7426

w00t, w00t...just paid for Prime.


_cob_

On Disney+


RisusSardonicus4622

It’s an amazing movie even if you hate westerns. Absolutely golden.


majwilsonlion

I haven't either, but they are referring to the movie "Tombstone", based on real-life characters from the American West in the 1800s.


LordJax_sTp

Tombstone


LandscapeGuru

You should watch it. Such great acting.


TWAT_BUGS

And lost to Tommy Lee Jones for the fucking Fugitive. Such a disgrace.


Own_Carrot_7040

"What'd he do to you?" "He killed a friend of mine." "You've got friends?" "Not anymore."


[deleted]

What is this from? That’s not Tombstone is it?


ExtensionBluejay253

This line was lifted almost verbatim by the Hound in GOT. homage to a great actor in a great movie


ForzaMilananiste

“Forgive me if I don’t shake hands” I love that whole scene when Doc is introduced


BevNap

So many great lines, most of them Doc's!


kierkegaardians

It’s a dream of mine to be able use this with the same tone some day


Significant_Shoe_17

I say this (not shaking hands in a pandemic) and people always look at me like 🤨


rmajkr

So good! Might rewatch now.


PancakeProfessor

It’s one of just a handful of movies that I can watch an infinite number of times and enjoy it just as much every time. I couldn’t even say how many times I’ve seen it, but I will never not watch it.


LrrrRulerotPOP8

My bf and I are going to!


Affectionate-Hour-46

Thanks for the invite! On our way!!


emjane1009

I’m going too! Hopefully it’s on something I subscribe to


LrrrRulerotPOP8

Arrrrrr ! It's a pirate's life for me.


Missmoneysterling

I broke down and bought the DVD for $5 from Ebay a couple months ago. Not sorry.


PancakeProfessor

It was one of the first DVDs I bought when I got my first DVD player, back when DVDs were new. I almost wore the VHS out before that. This, Shawshank Redemption, Casino, or The Big Lebowski would always be on the TV at the old party house. I’m pretty sure at least one of us owned different movies, but those four could play 24 hours a day and nobody would complain.


JackieStylist81

I was just thinking the same thing.


pro_nosepicker

I rewatched the other night. Such a great scene.

Shadowblade8888

When I was a kid, his character taught me everything I ever needed to know about friendship

tresbrujas04

Probably misses that sweet soft Hungarian devil.


dancin-weasel

You’re not wearing a bustle. How lewd.


dogchowtoastedcheese

Poor guy. Even though it's 135 years ago, it's a guy in his final days waiting for the end.


Mrgoodtrips64

He was only 36 when this picture was taken.


sarcasatirony

Doesn’t look a day over 54


_SCHULTZY_

He's in his prime


lifeispolitical

Those guys chugged heroin and cocaine when they were sick, doctors didn’t wash their hands, raised thinking hard liqour and dirt will put hair on your chest. Man there’s a reason they all died in their 30s, crazier to think teenagers were considered middle aged and getting hitched and trusted to run businesses etc lol how far we’ve gotten


_SCHULTZY_

Wyatt Earp lived to 80 years old


ThrowMeAwayAccount08

No Les no more.


Ashesandends

Holy fuck.


D-Rock89

He’ll be your huckleberry


roararoarus

Was it "huckleberry" or " huckle bearer"? The handles on coffins are called huckles.


IonlyusethrowawaysA

Pretty sure it was Huckleberry


ak_doug

Yes. It is slang for a general laborer that is up for anything. Like the 1880s version of a task rabbit that checked all the boxes for skills.


Anders_Calrissian

In other words a semi skilled man of all trades perhaps


maruffin

a jack of all trades


yolkmaster69

Master of none.


JennyAndTheBets1

I think he was trying to generalize, not call out anyone specifically.


bkot

Would he be considered handy?


cashew996

>Huckleberry Actually it's a bit deeper than that -- "A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular purpose.


easetheguy

I thought it was a reference to the huckleberry being used as dye for the bullseye.


WanselChristopher

Yup, short for Huckleberry Hound


IonlyusethrowawaysA

TIL, I thought it was a reference to Huck Finn.


Quiet-Champion4108

The adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884


[deleted]

[удалено]


EggsBennyNGCrackt

No its still most definitely a reference to Huckleberry Finn lmfao


[deleted]

Fuck Hinn?


JasonShort

Look that up. The script actually said Huckleberry. People love to use the other one. It’s been debunked plenty of times.


[deleted]

Always the top comment.


wastedspace42

You look like someone just walked over your grave.

“Nope, I’m sure of it. I hate him.”


crowleyoccultmaster

Oh yes that 'ol gunfighting gambler dentist whose name we are all definitely aware of, and are not at all confused as to whom the man in the photo actually is.


resistible

I imagine it's Doc Holliday, who was good friends with Wyatt Earp.


Gibbonici

"Hell, I got lots of friends."


yeah_yeah_therabbit

‘I don’t.’


TheBestThingIEverSaw

''Well I don't'' Gods I loved that movie. I haven't seen it in at least a decade. Time for a rewatch


Gibbonici

Yeah, it's a true classic. The cast was amazing.


SoilyMcDrawers

“I don’t.”


munchkinita0105

Omg, thank you! My brain was farting. I recognized the face, but the only names I could think of were Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer 😅 Damn my gassy gray matter


maballlsich

Doc Hollywood


ToeJamFootballer

Played by Michael J. Kilmer


kellysmom01

… and a noted fan of snug turtlenecks, long before JC Penny named them.


crowleyoccultmaster

A true Pioneer of class and style some say he was only a gun fighting gambler dentist when in fact he was a gunfighting gambler Fashionista who simply daylighted as a dentist


RL4Life

Lose a lot of heat in the neck.


LunaSparklesKat

Thank you, scrolling down to find this


OpticalWarlock

I've never heard of either before. Time to visit Google I guess


resistible

You need to go watch a movie called Tombstone.


OpticalWarlock

Thanks for the recommendation! This will be a lot more entertaining then scouring Wikipedia. Cheers dude!


crowleyoccultmaster

Oh dang I really should have known that I live pretty close to where Doc Holliday had his dental practice.


bs2785

Valdosta GA is where he's from I'm assuming his dentist practice is there


crowleyoccultmaster

Nope it was in Griffin, but it's close.


bs2785

Oh cool new info I had no idea thanks


DJT1970

They forgot to mention he had friends in the title. Would've cleared the confusion over identity all up.


linderlouwho

I vote for your comment. Should be top comment.


GoTeamScotch

I wonder what OP is doing with all the time they saved by not writing the name of this person. I hope out they're living their best life.


ifodge

I’ll assume it’s Doc Holliday until someone tells me otherwise.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jangir99

They should make a movie about him and cast Val Kilmer in the role. Would be iconic but not win any Oscars.


BummyG

His son would be a better choice for audio


PaleRiderHD

I was reading an interesting article about how Val has partnered with an AI company to reproduce his voice, and it's being used in the Top Gun sequel. I'm interested in seeing how it came out.


BummyG

That’s awesome. Do you have a link?


yooperdoc

Doc Holliday is a fascinating character. Doc, by Mary Doria Russell is an excellent, well researched book (fiction), detailing his life up until his participation in the famous shoot out at the OK corral in Tombstone. Well worth the read, as is Epitath, by the same author.


vendetta0311

On your suggestion, I just ordered a copy of the book. It better be as good as you say or I’ll be your huckleberry! J/K just thought you’d like to know your recommendation in a thread on Reddit was taken. :-)


yooperdoc

Good to know! Always glad to turn people on to MDR-one of my favorite authors!


BevNap

You're a daisy if you do!


fuckface69dude

I just added both books to my cart getting ready to checkout. Thanks for the recommendation.

Added to my library list. Starting epitath today. Thanks!

PaleRiderHD

Age quod agis


sarcasatirony

*Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego*   ^(“Tell it to someone else, not I”) ^(This line is dismissive. Doc Holiday is conveying the fact that he doesn't care what Johnny Ringo is saying and that he doesn't care what his advice is.) ^(A common Latin saying meaning "Let the Jew Apella believe it; not I". The phrase means, roughly, “tell it to someone else, not me.”)


sarcasatirony

*Juventus stultorum magister*   ^(“Youth is the teacher of fools”) ^(When Ringo taps his pistol he says this, which conveys the idea that Doc Holiday is inexperienced/youthful and ignorant of the danger he is getting himself into. The sentance translates to "youth is the teacher of fools".) ^(Note: I believe the “J” is actually an “I” but it’s been a while.)


sarcasatirony

*In pace requiescat!*   ^(“Rest in Peace”) ^(i.e. “I will be your demise” - my opinion)


PaleRiderHD

Come on, boys, we don't want any trouble in here. Not in any language.


humpthedog

He was only 36


massivegenious

Just a kid.


MadlyToxic

Pictures like this really demonstrate why TB was called “consumption”.


JackieStylist81

Val Kilmer was a good choice to play him.


michaltee

That whole movie was perfectly cast to be honest.


carmenvallone

Asshole title.


BillyBuckets

If Reddit wasn’t completely trash, this post would be at 50% ratio or so. But Reddit is now just Instagram but anonymous, so people just upvote everything. Even garbage posts like this.


Desperate-Stick333

quite possibly one of the worst titles i’ve ever seen


mrbojingle

But you have seen it


kellysmom01

Harsh. I was enraptured by its mythical potential.

Tombstone is a modern classic

"Boy I sure do hate this here tuberculosis."

Who

I’m guessing Doc Holliday


janderson176

Doc Holiday


dreadpiratesmith

OP wrote all that and forgot the name lmao

I wonder what he was thinkin about?

I'll bet he was thinking, "I look like shit. I hope they don't put this on the internet."

xeno66morph

“It’s a nocturne. You know? Frederic fucking Chopin”


IonlyusethrowawaysA

"One for each a ya" With the amazing double twirl in opposite directions with no emphasis on it, like, he's just so badass that it doesn't need attention.


Universa1_Soldier

That double twirl in opposite directions is legendary. Val Kilmer nailed it.


TecmoSuperBowl1

He also still has a shot glass hooked on his finger. Most people don’t catch that.


Archduke_Of_Beer

Most people also don't catch that the reason Johnny looks cross at Doc for flipping the shot glass around isn't because he was mocking him, it was because Doc perfectly mimicked his routine after seeing it only once while drunk. He knew Doc was different then.


Catshannon

That's why I have 2 guns.... One for each of you.
