I'm YoUr HUckleBeRRY


The fucking coolest line in the film Tombstone.
An exceptionally badass film.

Val Kilmer will NEVER be as hot as being Doc Holliday. I'm literally disgusted that he has even bothered to try all these years.

I saw a guy with 'I'm your Huckleberry' tattoo'ed along his arm, in curly script... but since I last saw it i can't find it again, even though i googled and googled.

I would love it tattooed on me. Because i think tattoos of writing are beautiful, and thoughtful.
The meaning behind i'm your Huckleberry is thought to be something like 'i'm the right man for the job',
but it's not so much the words that resonated with me when I watched Tombstone,

- more the delivery from Doc Holliday,
he was dying of TB and aware he didn't have that much time left... yet his delivery was always so slow and laconic, like it didnt matter to him if he got the sentence out before he copped it,
and if he did that was a bonus, but it didnt matter if he didnt walk away from the duel he'd just walked into with his lazy words 'i'm your huckleberry',

Someone who's so close to death has so much more truth, as they know they have little left to lose.

To live life like that...
