  • doc is not saying huckle berry, hes saying huckle bearer . huckle was name of the handled coffin that was used back then so him saying huckle bearer meant doc was the one that was going to put him in his grave..listen carefully...

  • @PONTIACDIEDIN1981 this is argued below too...either way - I love the scene!!

  • The expression "I'm your huckleberry" spoken by Doc means "I'm the perfect man for the job." It is not a reference to Mark Twain's Huck Finn, as that book was published in 1885 and this movie takes place in 1881. And it ain't "huckle bearer" either. The whole phrase is "I'm a huckleberry to your persimmon". The trivia section on IMDB for Tombstone is your friend y'all. :)

  • Christ almighty how many people are going to keep saying it’s “I’m your hucklebearer”??? It’s HUCKLEBERRY — the script says it, Val Kilmer says it, it’s been noted that the real Doc Holliday said it, hell they even sell Tombstone t-shirts on Amazon that have the phrase “I’m Your Huckleberry” on them. You people need a to take a hearing test.

  • "I'm your huckleberry" is a way of saying that one is just the right person for a given job.

  • That's a peach of a clip.

  • "I'm your huckleberry" is an Old West term. A Huckleberry is the last nail in the coffin, therefore Doc is saying he will out Ringo in a coffin.

  • @HumaneAnon Damn post modernist writer. I think you are talking about a pallbearer.

  • It's Hucklebearer, as in Paul Bearer in the old manner of speaking.

    Damn post-modernist ears can't even fucking hear shit ^_^

  • @PONTIACDIEDIN1981 What's with a couple random youtube commenters going around saying it's hucklebearer? It's obvious he says huckleberry if you listen, huckleberry makes perfect sense, and huckleberry is in the movie's script. Quit being an idiot.

  • He is saying "I'm your Huckleberry" and it means, im the man you are looking for.

  • IMDB memorable quotes has Doc saying "I'm your Huckleberry.."

  • Yea, it's Huckle Bearer guys.. Unless Doc was telling Ringo to eat me.
