[@timmycrw91]

What u explain is kind of what I was thinking : Johnny Ringo is saying that he, the youth, will be the teacher of fools (Doc Holiday), and the Doc threatens, "It's your funeral" (Rest In Peace). The look in Johnny Ringo's eyes and face, and the pistol play, is meant as a rebuttal to frighten Doc. Then Doc de-escalates the situation by mimicking Johnny Ringo with a cup and making the onlookers laugh at Johnny Ringo.

[@timmycrw91]

Also, "The Jew Abella may believe, but not I" must be from some play, I think, but conveys a certain message that would've been understood at the time to anyone who spoke or heard that line.

[@Ralphoifyful]

@@espositogregory the saying is quite explicit in its meaning and you got it completely wrong. Youth is the teacher of fools. There's nothing there about underestimating youth there, but there is something about overestimating it. Ultimately, Ringo was 31 and Doc was 30 the year the OK Corral gunfight happened. Hardly a difference in youth or experience. I think Ringo is just saying that the only thing that matters is experience... which makes more significant his next gesture

[@Josh17656]

@@Ralphoifyful I mean, if we're going to talk about reality and "what really happened" and was, Ringo most likely killed himself....and almost certainly wasn't killed by Doc Holiday.

Doc Holliday knew he was dying of "consumption" (tuberculosis) I believe that whenever he went into a gunfight, he had absolutely no fear of being shot dead. Therefore, his hands were steady, and his aim was true. He died in bed, which was what he feared most.

Actually Johnny Ringo was believed to educated in a mission after the death of his father. The missions were run by Roman Catholic Priests and Sisters. Latin is a traditional language spoken in the early Roman Catholic Church and it's missionary schools.

Fascinating thanks for the heads up!

[@kathleenstringer1989]

True. I was in Catholic High Schol in 1961and Two Years of Latin were required before any other Language. Not a boarding school either.

[@pandapeep1148]

Latin was definitely taught in schools back then and especially to children getting a Catholic education, My father was born in 1910 and he spoke Latin fluently - as he was taught in school and as a Vatican I Catholic. It was not uncommon back then at all. Latin was still offered in school up into the late 1970s, early 1980s in some regions in the U.S. I think it's made a comeback in recent years but, for a long time, it was rare for anyone not studying medicine or law to take it.

They actually thought he might have had schizophrenia and he drank heavily during his episodes. He actually would have performed intellectual battles than with his gun because he was a slow draw. I learned this on a tour in Tombstone

Ringo was self-educated & rode with "epic" novels in his saddlebags. Doc was formally educated, both in military schools & in secondary education with his uncle, where he obtained his DDS. I like to think that Doc was a Noble Man, but he exhibited some poor qualities before he went out West. it was Val's amazing performance that made so many fall in love with Doc.

I am no expert in Latin, but I have studied it. I think there are some problems with this dialog. In vino veritas. Age quod agis. Credit Judaeus Apella, non ego. Iuventus stultorum magister. In pace requiescat. The translation is provided by Donald H. Mills of Syracuse University and Keyne Cheshire of UNC. In wine there is truth. Do what you do. Let Apella the jew believe, not I. Youth is the teacher of fools. May he rest in peace. In explanation, Line 1: Although Wyatt tries to excuse Doc's aggressive attitude with "He's drunk", Doc assures Ringo that he means what he says despite being drunk. Line 2: This seems intentionally ambiguous. Ringo is telling Doc to do what he does, perhaps challenging him with "Are you a drunk, or a gun fighter?" Something like "Go for it!", or "Throw down!". Line 3: Doc responds with a well known line from a satire by an ancient Roman writer, Horace, which literally means "Appella the Jew believes, but I don't", (the "let") is inserted in the translation. Figuratively, this phrase means "Tell it to someone else." Perhaps Doc is saying "You draw your gun first" or "stop talking and draw your gun" or "I don't care what your saying, let's just fight." Line 4: I don't believe that Ringo is using this line the way it was meant to be used by a Latin speaker. I think he means something like "I, as a young man, will teach you, the fool." However, I think it would more likely be taken to mean that "a young person is a fool that needs to be taught by experience." You can see how the English translation might be taken either way, but seems unlikely to me to be meant the way Ringo used it in this context. Line 5: There is no word for funeral in this line as some suggest below. "It's your funeral" is an entirely figurative translation. Nor does it mean "Let him rest in peace". Instead, it means literally "He rests in peace." I have to ask "whom are they talking about?" "Who is 'He'?" I am no expert, but I think it was a mistake by the writers. I think the writers of the script meant Doc to be telling Ringo to rest in peace, as if it were a foregone conclusion that Ringo will die, so he is already dead. If Doc were saying this, he would have said "requiesce" not "requiescat".

[@zentanker]

[@CooleyHigh20]

@@m-catparanormalresearch5569 I'm assuming when you ask about Ringo's dialogue if he misspoke, you're talking about his line "Age quod agis?" The direct translation is Do what you do or come as you are in the old and modern latin, however its meant as a turn of phrase. So when he says that he's 1. Referencing Doc's line (In Vino Veritas) and 2. him both being drunk and being a drunkard, essentially saying "Do what you do best" which Ringo states is drinking and nothing more. This makes Doc's line even bolder as his is basically saying "We both know drinking is not what i do best" hinting at the fact that since Ringo knows him well enough to know his name like that, then he obviously knows his reputation. Ringo then says his line (essentially saying Events are the teacher of fools) which can be read as him saying "If you wanna learn the hard way, so be it!" Which leads the the final line uttered by Holliday (Rest in Peace) basically saying, as you stated, "Its your funeral!" I love the back and forth banter between these characters. Its so intense and satisfying! 😊

Many of the kids graduating high school, would have a lot of difficulty passing a test that would have been given in the seventh or eighth grade years ago. I have worked correcting papers for university students, and many of the university students can hardly put together a coherent paper. We have some students that get accepted into the University level of education, whom have never been taught to be fluent readers.

How about "I'm your huckleberry" Ooh I was just foolin" "I wasn't". Great lines of death.

[@vincepurpura8905]

"Why Johnny, I apologise, I forgot you were there. You may go now." Makes me laugh every time

[@brucem1941]

It is true that not much is known of Johnny Ringo's past. I currently speak 4 languages, three of them very well. While I lay no claim to any of it I have been called scholarly, well read and even a renaissance man. My official School record ends at the eighth grade. Beyond that, I am self-taught, so while little is known of Ringo's education, never assume him to be classically uneducated. Never underestimate the drop out.

[@Wild4]

Good point! Thanks for watching and for sharing!

[@tuanjim799]

The way Doc intensely almost whispers "In pace requiescat" is so chilling and intimidating.

[@Wild4]

Val was the best!

[@MuchKoku]

"Doc Holiday, in his drunken state..." So, basically always.

I love that shot of Morgan Earp trying to figure out if the Latin banter is lighthearted or not

[@renjavier817]

[@jasonrigler7020]

"I know, why don't we have a spelling contest."

[@byroncole7548]

My absolute favorite line in the movie.

[@dj-dq4lr]

Lol

[@agwbcfjc2]

Another reason I loved the latin-speaking theme in this movie is that it bolsters the writings of Louis L'Amour. L'Amour pointed out in several of his novels, that a fair percentage of men in the old west were very well-educated. "Doc" Holliday was one. He had a certification in dentistry and education in studies of classic literature. I dumb person could not have achieved this. This perspective gives the lie to movies like Blazing Saddles wherein western settlers were portrayed as ignorant buffoons, by and large. BTW: "Doc" Holliday was a brilliant card player, lightning with a gun, and totally fearless, according to Wyatt Earp, and he would know!

[@JM-db8ez]

Why would you reference Blazing Saddles as inaccurate? It was a parody, a satire--where stereotypes are exaggerated for comedic purpose. Nothing intended to be historical or truthful, completely different genre. The comparison here is nonsensical. Your point would make sense if you referenced a movie that tried to be accurate and dramatic but failed because of the stereotypes and not reference a movie that intentionally bloated the stereotypes to support the farcical comedy it was intended to be.

[@Falcun21]

L'Amour was also one of the last people to see one of the old breed of gunfighters show off his skills. Bill Tilghman took L'Amour and his brother out and "showed them how it was done with a six-gun" by splitting playing cards edgewise while drawing and firing from the hip.

[@coletrain6545]

Interestingly enough Roland the gunslinger from Stephen Kings dark tower series is a very well educated man speaking 5 languages and deadly with his guns from a post apocalyptic waste land, almost a mirror image in some of these respects

[@markmark1078]

@@JM-db8ez here's why you are wrong ( even though i can tell you're one of those people who thinks he or she the smartest person in whatever room he/she happens to be in)-just like the late-night lefties, who mask their anti-american left-wing propaganda bullshit in comedy-though they may be exaggerated , they're still designed to imprint stereotypes in the minds of the indoctrinable

[@pandapeep1148]

Dennis Quaid did a good job in the role too but once you saw Kilmer's take, it was "game over." It will be the role he will be remembered for by future film fans.

[@lauriefry5847]

Doc's Latin quote "Rest in Peace" is foreshadowing events to come for Johnny Ringo...that's why Johnny Ringo looked at him the way he did...he know it wasn't for show, since no one but the two of them understood what was being said.

[@Wild4]

Doc don't mess around! One of my favorite characters!

The fact that's it's unexpected for a western outlaw to know Latin I think was sort of the point of showung Ringo speaking Latin. Especially since it seems they're quoting sayings.

Age quot ages = Do what you do; that is, focus on what you are doing, mind what you are doing. --He's drunk. --In vino veritas = There is truth in wine; that is, drunk people tell the truth (after someone points out he's drunk). Requiescat in pace = May he begin to rest in peace; that is, may he rest in peace--dead. You dont need an education to memorize a few set phrases in Latin. They are not conversing in Latin. They are merely dusting off their small Latin phrase repertoire.

[@teddyhailey3035]

A drunk will speak the truth with no inhibitions and thoughts of what he's saying..but truthfully I don't think you have what it takes...some are teachers and others are tought and theirs only 1 way to stand on that hill to sort the wheat from the chaff...here and now is not the time...be patient Ladd...death is coming soon for the both of us..Doc.was the living dead and he knew it...he was on a timer..nothing to live for but UNGER his last dental extraction...from the world..

Val kilmer was so robbed not winning an oscar for this. His performance is flawless & he makes the movie. A friend of mine saw the film & loved doc so much he bought a t shirt of val as doc w/ " I'm ur huckleberry " written on it. Other than al pacino as micheal corleone & heath ledger as the joker I've never seen a more mesmerizing performance where the actor totally emerges himself in the character. Also micheal biehn as ringo was terrific in this as well. I did not even realize at first he was reese in terminator. I guess his dark hair & dark facial hair & also getting so into the role I did not recognize him til the credits.
