Gunfight at the O.K. Corral Page #2

around here!

Ed Bailey.

Doc Holliday killed his brother.

The guy was begging for it.

He came in drunk, cheated at cards,

he pulled a gun on Doc.

Did you ever meet Holliday?

We crossed trails once.

He was a dentist then.

You know,

I've yet to see the guy pick a fight.

Trouble just naturally seems to find him.

It's gotten so every would-be gunman

on the frontier

wants the honour of putting him

in Boot Hill.

You know how it is

when a man gets a reputation.

I sure do. Where is Holliday?

I better get to him

while the getting's good.

He's at the hotel.

- Keep that steak warm. I'll be back.

- You ain't missing much. It's longhorn.

Holliday?

Sit down, make yourself at home.

Just like you were invited.

- I don't know if you remember me...

- I remember you. Wyatt Earp.

Pulled a tooth for you 10 years ago.

If I knew when I had you in the chair

what you were gonna turn out to be, I...

I hear you've taken up

a new occupation.

- It's too bad, you were a good dentist.

- My patients didn't like my coughing.

I'd like some information.

The name of this game is solitaire.

I'm in a position to do

a little horse-trading.

Good evening, Mr Earp.

I know something

that would interest you.

You don't know a thing

that would interest me.

Suppose I was to tell you that Ed Bailey

has a small derringer

hidden in his boot?

- Left or right?

- Left.

I'd say that was good information.

Bailey's left-handed.

Ike Clanton and Johnny Ringo

rode through here three days ago.

You played cards with them.

- Which way were they heading?

- Beats me.

I thought we were making a deal.

That's what you said.

I didn't make any deals.

But you know where they went,

don't you?

Look, you're interrupting my game.

Got a real big hate for the law,

haven't you?

There any reason why I shouldn't?

Your brother Morgan ran me

out of Deadwood last year

and impounded $10,000 of my money.

As a matter of fact,

you've got brothers marshalling

all over the frontier, haven't you?

I'll see you again, Holliday,

if you're around.

- What did you find out?

- Not a thing.

It's my hunch they headed

for Tombstone.

Ike's old man has a big ranch there,

but I can't be sure.

Isn't your brother Virgil

a marshal at Tombstone?

That's right.

I sent him a telegram asking him to be

on the lookout for them just in case.

- What are you gonna do?

- There's nothing I can do.

The trail's ice cold.

I'm heading back for Dodge City

in the morning.

- Oh, Mr Holliday.

- Yes?

Would you care

to settle up your bill now?

What I mean, sir, is we didn't know

whether you were checking out or not.

You'll have word in 15 minutes.

Doc, you're walking into a stacked deck.
