He actually says huckebearer, which means coffin bringer, so you an guess what hes saying.
-
Ringo knocks over a coffin at the end. Accident or foreshadowing?
-
@shimatetsuo2019 Thats why Doc says "I'll be damned, this is funny" at the end in the hospital, while he stares at his feet. He always said he would die with his boots on, and he didn't.

@montereypopfestiva67 I believe it was Wyatt Earp who said that Doc Holiday was, "The deadliest man I ever met.".

I'm your huckleberry, Jim J.
-
most dangerous man is one that is already dead
-
"I'll put you out of your misery."
Ringo was 100% dead-on with that line.
Any man would pick fights hoping to die than to die slowly (and painfully) of TB.
In fact, isn’t that why Doc had predicted he’d have his shoes on when he died?
Bravery or Suicide? You make the call.

thumbs up to the people who have watched the movie more than a few times to count and actually know what they're talking about in the movie and understand whats truly going on. and pity all of those who just don't understand.

Doc Holliday (the real one from history) was supposidely the fastest draw. His reputation preceeded him everywhere he went, so everyone, including the cowboys, knew he was the fastest. Ringo couldnt beat him normally, and drunk Ringo would have no chance. Curly Bill said "now ain't the time" as a reference to the sneak attacks they pulled later. The real cowards are the cowboys, knowing they can't kill Doc in a fair fight and plan to do it sneakily, from behind, if you will

LOL at hucklebearer
@CrassHeretic 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. :)

Listen closely, I think Doc Holiday is saying, "Anyone who thinks I'm saying Hucklebearer is a complete idiot."
