Love it.
We are after “a Reckoning!”
I’m your huckleberry.
Yes— and we’ll all be their (dem’s) huckle bearer.
Script note: the original script, not delivered by Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday was.... “I’m your huckle bearer— that’s JUST my game”.
A “huckle” is a handle on a casket— each huckle had a “bearer” later called a pallbearer. A “huckleberry” of the 1800’s would have meant “a friend”. So Kilmer got it wrong.
Kilmer said- and it was changed in the script— “I’m your huckleberry”... with the accent dropping the y sound to “uh” sort of sounded like a Georgia dentist gambler/gunman. Dang great portrayal of the tuberculosis infected Doc- who died of it “consuming” his lung tissues turning them to nothing- and choked to death in a Colorado sanitarium.
We’re their huckleberries.
