I used search here, and also on Google. I found the words, but no translation. Anybody know what Jonny Ringo and Doc Holliday say to each other?

I don't know if this is accurate as far as spelling but this sounds like what they said:

1) In vino veritas. 2) Age quod agis. 1) Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego. 2) Iuventus stultorum magister. 1) In pace requiescat.

Quoted:

1) In vino veritas.

In wine, truth (Drunk people speak their mind.)

2) Age quod agis.

Do what you are doing, is excellent advice for those who become careless in their work as well as for those who fail to do what they are supposed to do. "Mind your own business."

3) Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego.

Let the Jew Apella believe it; I will not. (I'll buy /that/ for a dollar.)

4) Iuventus stultorum magister.

The young must be taught by experience.

5) In pace requiescat.

In peace you may rest. (Normally used as "Requiescant in pacem." Rest in Peace, R.I.P.
