An iconic Tombstone line is confusing.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the 1993 western classic, Tombstone, Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday commonly uses the term "daisy," a slang term from the film's period. The film, which stars not only Kilmer but also Kurt Russell and Sam Elliot, is based on events that occurred in Arizona in the 1880s. Tombstone depicts real historical Western figures, such as its central character, Doc Holliday.
Tombstone isn't a perfect recount of history, as very few films are, but it does offer some accuracy in its events and authenticity in its language. The term "daisy" was a common 19th-century slang term, which was used to describe something of the best quality. The word is used several times throughout the film, in order to provide some context to the period slang, thereby setting it up to be used in one of Doc Holliday's best one-liners: "You're a daisy if you do.
Doc Holliday's "Daisy" Line Was Meant To Sarcastically Provoke Frank McLaury In Tombstone In a scene depicting the real-life gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Doc Holliday is faced against the last standing cowboy, Frank McLaury. Doc attempts to shoot him but is out of ammo from the fight, and McLaury aims his gun at him, thinking he has the upper hand, saying "I got you now, you son of a bitch.
Doc knows this isn't true, and shoots Frank with a second pistol before he can even raise his gun. The line shows Doc's confidence, and how little he fears death, already knowing he's going to die due to tuberculosis. In real life, Doc Holliday said a variation of this iconic quote. After McLaury exclaimed "I've got you now!", the real Holliday replied, "Blaze away! You're a daisy if you have.
