Doc Holliday: In vino veritas.
Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis.
Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego.
Johnny Ringo: Iuventus stultorum magister.
Doc Holliday: In pace requiescat.

Exchanges from "Tombstone". BTW, if anyone who knows Spanish, please translate the exchange between Doc Holliday and Johnny RIngo. Thanks in advance

Actually, it's Latin.

H: Truth in wine. (drinking loosens the tongue in the modern saying)
R: Do that which you are doing - (basically pay attention to what you're doing)
H: Let the Jew Appela believe, not I. (classic quote from Horace - kind of a slur of disbelief)
R: Youth the teacher of fools. (don't be stupid)
H: He may rest in peace. (bang and he'll be dead)

Thanks for the translation. That's been driving me mad not knowing what they were talking about. Just a couple of smarta**es sizing up each other.
