Tombstone Page #7

but he looks pretty bad to me.

- Whoa!

- I, uh...

They got held up,

and their boss actor got killed.

They came here to water the horses,

then they'll push on.

I'm sorry about your friend.

And I'm... I'm sorry that I...

I forgave you

the moment you said it.

You did? Well...

Thank you.

All set.

I have to go.

Wait.

- Hyah!

Giddup!

What the hell is that?

They got McMasters!

Geez!

Ringo wanted to make sure

he got your attention, Marshal!

He wants a straight-up fight,

just you and him,

to settle this thing

once and for all.

Oak grove at the mouth

of Silver Springs canyon, 7:00!

You tell him I'll be there!

- Are you crazy?

- I'll be there!

It's not finished.

After I'm done

with Wyatt Earp,

take your Cowboys and finish off

Creek Johnson and Texas Jack.

You burn 'em, Ike.

- Burn 'em all.

- Hell, Johnny,

he ain't even gonna show.

Giddap!

He'll show.

I spent my whole life not knowin'

what I wanted outta life,

just chasin' my tail.

Now for the first time

I know exactly what I want,

and who.

And that's

the damnable misery of it.

What makes a man

like Ringo, Doc?

What makes him

do the things he does?

A man like Ringo...

got a great empty hole

right through the middle of him.

He can never kill enough

or steal enough...

or inflict enough pain

to ever fill it.

What does he need?

Revenge.

For what?

Bein' born.

It all happened so fast

with Curly Bill...

I didn't really have time

to think about it,

but I've had plenty of time

to think about this.

I can't beat him, can I?

No.

Wait.

I'm goin' with ya.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Wyatt.

It's all right, Doc.

What's it like to wear

one of those?

Don't worry.

They want him,

they gotta come over us first.

He's waitin' for you by the big oak,

quarter mile up that trail.

They're not givin' ya

any safe conduct.

Shootin' starts, you better kick east

to the New Mexico line.

I ain't got the words.

I know.

Me neither.

Well.

I didn't think

ya had it in you.

I'm your huckleberry.

Why, Johnny Ringo,

you look like somebody

just walked over your grave.

Fight's not with you, Holliday.

I'll beg to differ, sir. We started

a game we never got to finish.

Play for blood, remember?

I was just foolin' about.

I wasn't.

And this time...

it's legal.

All right, lunger.

Let's do it.

Say when.

Come on. Come on!

Oh, Johnny. Come on!

You're no daisy.

You're no daisy at all!

Poor soul.

You were just

too high-strung.

I'm afraid the strain

was more than he could bear.

Oh, I wasn't quite

as sick as I made out.

Good God.

My hypocrisy

goes only so far.

All right.

Let's finish it.

Indeed, sir. The last charge

of Wyatt Earp and his immortals.

Hyah! Hyah, come on!

No! Here!

Look at this!

Hello, Wyatt.

Father Feeney

and I were just...

investigating the mysteries

of the church of Rome.

It appears my hypocrisy

knows no bounds.

You're no hypocrite, Doc.

You just like to sound like one.

I brought you somethin'.

Well, let's see.

Where are we today?

I'm $17 down to you.

- Two bits a hand. Stud?

- You keep comin' back here.

I told you not to,

and I meant it.

You're the only person

I can afford to lose to anymore.

How we feelin' today, Doc?

I'm dying. How are you?

Pretty much the same.

- So now we add self-pity

to our list of frailties.

- All right, Doc.

All right, how many

cards you want?

I don't want

to play anymore.

How many?

Damn you.

You're the most fallible,

stubborn, self-deluded,

- bullheaded man I've ever

known in my entire life.

- I call.

- You win.

- Yet with all,

you're the only human being

in my entire life who ever gave me hope.

I was in love once.

My first cousin.

She was 15.

We were both so...

That's good, Doc.

That's... That's good.

What happened?

She joined a convent

over the affair.

She was all I ever wanted.

What did you want?

Just to live a normal life.

There's no normal life, Wyatt.

There's just life.

Now get on with it.

Don't know how.

Sure you do.

Say good-bye to me.

Go grab

that spirited actress...

and make her your own.

Take that beauty and run,

and don't look back.

Live every second.

Live right up to the hilt.

Live, Wyatt.

Live for me.

Wyatt? If you

ever were my friend,

if you ever had even

the slightest feelin' for me,

leave now.

Leave now.

Please?

Thanks for always

bein' there, Doc.

I'll be damned.

This is funny.

I never thought I would see

Gilbert and Sullivan performed

right here in Denver.

- Good night, Josie.

- Good night.

Good show.

Ya ever see the sun come up

over the Rockies?

It hits all of a sudden,

and below there's California.

And you swear

you're lookin' at heaven.

I have nothing left,

nothing to give you.

I have no pride,

no dignity.

No money. I don't even know

how we'll make a living, but...

I promise I'll love you

the rest of your life.

Don't worry, Wyatt.

My family's rich.

What shall we do first?

What you wanted to do

the first night we met.

- Remember?

- Uh-uh.

May I have this dance?

Yes.

And then we'll

have room service.

The power of the Cowboy Gang

was broken forever.

Ike Clanton was shot

and killed two years later

during an attempted robbery.

Mattie died of a drug overdose

shortly after she left Tombstone.

Virgil and Allie Earp

moved to California, where Virgil,

despite the use of only one arm,

became a town sheriff.

Wyatt and Josephine

embarked on a series of adventures.

Up or down, thin or flush,

in 47 years they never left

each other's side.

Wyatt Earp died

in Los Angeles in 1929.

Among the pallbearers

at his funeral...

Among the pallbearers

at his funeral...

were early Western movie stars

William S. Hart and Tom Mix.

Tom Mix wept.
