[At his brother's grave]
Wyatt Earp : 1864, 1882. 18 years. You didn't get much of a chance did you James? I wrote to Pa and Cory Sue. They're gonna be all busted up over it. Cory Sue's young, but Pa. I guess he'll never get over it. I'll be comin' out to see you regular James. So will Morg and Virg. I'm gonna be around here for a while. Can't tell. Maybe when we leave this country young kids like you will be able to grow up and live safe.

Old Man Clanton : That so? Well, that's too bad.
[Wyatt starts out the door]
Old Man Clanton : I guess you'll be headin' for California, huh?

Wyatt Earp : I've heard a lot about you, too, Doc. You left your mark around in Deadwood, Denver and places. In fact, a man could almost follow your trail goin' from graveyard to graveyard.
Doc Holliday : There's one here, too... the biggest graveyard west of the Rockies. Marshals and I usually get along much better when we understand that right away.

Wyatt Earp : Sure is rough-looking country. Ain't no cow country. Mighty different where I come from. What do they call this place?
Old Man Clanton : Just over the rise there. Big town... called Tombstone.

Clementine Carter : I love your town in the morning, Marshal. The air is so clean and clear... the scent of the desert flower.
Wyatt Earp : That's me... barber.

Old Man Clanton : My boys... Ike! Sam! Phin! Billy!
Wyatt Earp : They're dead. I ain't gonna kill you. I hope you live a hundred years... so you'll feel just a little what my pa's gonna feel. Now get out of town - start wandering!

Wyatt Earp : You leaving?
Clementine Carter : Yes, I'm leaving for the east on a stage.
Wyatt Earp : East-bound stage don't leave 'til noon on Sunday.
[moment of silence]
Wyatt Earp : It's a mighty short visit.
Clementine Carter : Some people think I've overstayed my visit already.
Wyatt Earp : I don't know, ma'am. But if you ask me, I... I think you're givin' up too easy.
Clementine Carter : Marshal, if you ask me, I... I don't think you know too much about a woman's pride.
Wyatt Earp : No ma'am, maybe I don't.

Wyatt Earp : [Virgil Earp slides pistol to Wyatt, who picks it up and examines it] Brother Morg's gun.
[Slides gun back to Morgan, Doc turns to see Morgan pick up pistol and holster it. Doc holsters his pistol as well]
