    What is the translation of the Latin conversation between Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo in the movie 'Tombstone' just before the gun spinning scene?

    Question #68125. Asked by dep_op_gal. (Jul 11 06 9:41 PM)

    Doc Holliday: "In vino veritas." ("In wine truth.")

    Johnny Ringo: "Age quod agis." ("Do what you are doing", or "Attend to the work you have at hand.")

    Doc Holliday: "Credat Judaeus Sotella(?) non ego." (Could be a mispronounciation of "Credat Judaes Apella" which means "Let Apella the Jew believe it," or "Only the credulous believe it." "Non ego." means "Not I.")

    Johnny Ringo: "Eventis sultorum magister." ("Experience is the teacher of fools.")

    Doc Holliday: "Pace requiescata." ("Rest in peace", I think, however "pace" means "by leave of" and "requiescata" probably has something to do with death.)
