Dialogue/Figurative Language/Literary References/Quotes
“Doc” Holliday: It’s impossible to repeal the law of retribution, and one of these days it is going to catch up with you.
Jonesy: Why good morning, Miss Porter. Good morning, Miss Porter.
Miss Porter: Why two good mornings?
Jonesy: Just being polite, one for each face.
Meaning: Two-Faced
Doc: But the Doc Holliday School for Happy Losers opens any minute.
Jonesy: Eh, you better not stand too close to that man, you’ll catch politics.
“Doc” Holliday: Mold men’s minds. That’s were the real money is, my boy. Manufacturing public opinion to swing elections. … Why the printed word is much more lethal than a gun.
“Doc” Holliday: One firmly wedded to the highest ideals of the business world – Getting the mostest out of the most. In short, you need me.
Jeanie Porter: How much do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
“Doc” Holliday: I love thee to the depth, breadth, and height my soul can reach.
I love thee with the breath, smiles, and tears of all my life.
And if God choose, I shall love thee better after death.
“How Do I Love Thee” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“Doc” Holliday: There’s such a waste of people in this world.
