Lunger/Gambler/Pistoleer


Like Doc Holliday?

Among many, many others.

Pros:

Having Town Marshalls and Sheriffs as your friends means you can pretty much gun down any one you want. Carte blanche. "I've got a lot of issues with you people!!!"

You can be an unattractive, consumption-ridden hothead who has trouble shooting straight, but all it takes is a debonair performance by Val Kilmer for everyone to think you were a total bad-ass.

People don't expect a lunger to be quick with the pistol.

Being romantically involved with with women with colorful names, like Big Nose Kate or Crabbin' Callie.

I'm your huckleberry.

Cons:

Spending time with Virgil Earp.

People fear you less when they find out you're a dentist.

The consumption sucks.

Having to remember your Latin schooling in order to insult Johnny Ringo.

Quotes:

Ike Clanton: What is that, Holliday? Twelve hands in a row? Ain't nobody that lucky.
Doc Holliday: Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!

Johnny Ringo: Don't any of ya have the guts to play for blood?
Doc Holliday: I'm your huckleberry.

Doc Holliday: Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave.

Wyatt Earp: Well, I'll be damned.
Doc Holliday: You may indeed, if you get lucky.

Doc Holliday: You must be Ringo.
Doc Holliday: Look, darling, it's Johnny Ringo. Deadliest pistolier since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling, should I hate him?

Johnny Ringo: My fight's not with you, Holliday.
Doc Holliday: I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?
Johnny Ringo: Oh that. I was just foolin' about.
Doc Holliday: I wasn't.

Frank McLaury: I've got you... you bastard!
Doc Holliday: You're a daisy if you do!
