- Wyatt Earp: [Opening Narration] Historians credit Wyatt Earp with more than a hundred gunfights. Wyatt himself never kept count. Marshal Earp did not like gunfights and he avoided a showdown with .45s whenever he could. Thus, when his younger brother, Morgan, arrived in Dodge City, Wyatt was confronted with an emotional problem. Bat Masterson's brother, Ed, had been killed in a gunfight. Was young Morgan Earp to go the same way? Or how could Wyatt save this brother from the hoodlums of Dodge City, especially when Morgan was a brave but hot-headed young buckaroo full of romantic notions of becoming a Deputy Marshal?
- Morgan Earp: Doctor Holliday!
- Doc Holliday: Hello, Morgan! I haven't seen you since Texas.
- Morgan Earp: That's right.
- Doc Holliday: Deacon Earp would not approve of our association. Although by my bad example, I have turned hundreds away from strong drink.
- Doc Holliday: You young fella's got a whisper in your ear that says 'it won't be me; it couldn't be me.'
- [has a bad coughing fit]
- Doc Holliday: I used to hear that.
- Morgan Earp: Here, Doc, rest yourself.
- Doc Holliday: And wait until the coughin' has passed. Spell it c-o-f-f-i-n and you've got a good pun.
