Morgan Earp Quotes in Tombstone (1993)

[Morgan is fatally wounded in a gunfight]

Morgan Earp: Nice scenery.

Doc Holliday: Well, an enchanted moment.

Josephine Marcus: Interesting little scene. I wonder who that tall drink of water is.

Josephine Marcus: I want one.

Mr. Fabian: Happy hunting.

Virgil Earp: Hold on nothin'! I walk around this town and look these people in the eyes. It's just like someone's slappin' me in the face! These people are afraid to walk down the street, and I'm tryin' to make money off that like some goddamn vulture! If we're gonna have a future in this town, it's gotta have some law and order!

Wyatt Earp: Don't do this to me!

Virgil Earp: It's got nothin' to do with you! It's got to do wi...

Wyatt Earp: Nothin' to do with me? I'm your brother, for Christ's sake! God, I don't believe this!

[to Morgan]

Wyatt Earp: Talk to him, will you? Or hit him!

[Morgan sheepishly shows Wyatt his deputy badge under his coat]

Wyatt Earp: [Firing shotgun in air, blocking advancing Clemmens Crew] I'm Wyatt Earp!
