- Narrator: Wyatt's violent introduction to the mining camp of Tombstone and his discovery of the brutal lawlessness there convinced him that it was no place for his brothers or himself. The Earps would be outsiders in a town and county dominated by the corrupt political ring who were called The Insiders. Wyatt was sick to his soul of fighting and to wear a star in Tombstone would be, he foresaw, his own death warrant.
- Horseman Betting on Earp: Hey, Doc, fifty dollars on Earp that he lasts ten miles.
- Hoodlum who Doc Shoots: It's a sucker bet, Doc. The Clantons ain't even got word of it yet.
- Doc Holliday: I don't bet on a friend's life.
- Horseman Betting on Earp: He ain't our friend and we've already bet.
- [the outlaws reach for their guns, but Doc shoots them both out of their saddles]
- Wyatt Earp: Well, Miss Clanton, you're a strange mixture. Your father is just about everything that's wrong with Tombstone and this part of Pima County. He's a rustler and a killer.
- Emma Clanton: Stop it!
- Wyatt Earp: You can't make up your mind if you're a sure enough Clanton and a you're just a girl who happened to be born a Clanton.
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: What do you think, Fred?
- Marshal Fred White: You give me Earp and then you ask me what I think?
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: He can't win. The Clantons and the Ten-Percent-Ring in Tucson can't afford to let him win.
- Judge Griskam: And you, Deputy, you better just be a little more careful after this. Mr. Clanton and his cowboys are good, honest citizens. Just member that, sonny boy.
- [Wyatt throws the contents of an ink well in Judge Griskam's face]
- Judge Griskam: Sheriff, I charge this man with bodily assault!
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: You arrest him, Judge.
- Wyatt Earp: I wish you'd do that.
- Wyatt Earp: Shouldn't the Clantons be arrested?
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: Not by Fred White, no. He's only a fair hand with a gun. Here's a deputy's star. If you want to arrest them, pin it on.
- Wyatt Earp: Sheriff, all I want to do is leave Tombstone.
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: All right. I'll get a posse and escort you to Benson.
- Wyatt Earp: No, sir. I don't need a posse.
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: That's the only way you'll get to the railroad alive.
- Wyatt Earp: I can't do that and you know it. Sheriff, you're dealin' from the bottom of the deck.
- Sheriff Charlie Shibell: Yes I am! The Citizens' Safety Counsel here needs good young peace officers. You're young and you're good.
- [last lines]
- Doc Holliday: I'll help you, Wyatt, but I'll never wear a star.
- Wyatt Earp: You don't have to wear the star. I'll deputize you only when there's trouble.
- Doc Holliday: Me a Johnny Law?
- Wyatt Earp: That's right, but you don't have to wear the star. You can keep it in your pocket.
- Doc Holliday: If anybody called me Deputy Holliday, I'd kill him. Why the very sound of it just about...
- Emma Clanton: Marshal Earp! Papa wants to know if you're leavin' town by sundown.
- Wyatt Earp: Well, you tell him no, Miss Emma.
- Emma Clanton: You're a fool. Do you want to leave in a coffin?
- Wyatt Earp: I haven't ordered one.
- Emma Clanton: Oh. And as for you, Doctor Holliday, you keep associatin' with him and you'll get it, too.
- Doc Holliday: [to Wyatt] The star, please. You can just drop it in my pocket.
- Miner: He just walked with Emma Clanton up Allen Street.
- Doc Holliday: Is she still with him?
- Miner: No, she just left town - and mad.
- Doc Holliday: Couldn't set him up, huh? Is Wyatt still out there?
- Miner: Yeah.
- Doc Holliday: You go tell Dick Gird that Wyatt will be on one side of the street and I'll be on the other. You got the miners stationed in the shafts?
- Miner: Sure, but I thought you and Earp had a fight.
- Doc Holliday: Nothing unusual about that. Wyatt and I are always havin' fights.
