- Wyatt Earp: [Opening Narration] The quarrel between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, which all of Wyatt's friends had long predicted, began as a rough-and-ready frontier joke. Dodge City in 1878 had growing pains and had wanted to tax the residents of Pinkytown, a hamlet of shacks and shanties beyond the city limits. Pinkytown resisted and Doc Holliday, noted for his cantankerous humor, joined the Pinkytown citizens in their rebellion. This brought Doc into conflict with Marshal Earp. It seemed inevitable that the two fastest guns on the western prairie meet in a showdown with .45s.
