Excellent translation
If you want literal:
It's actually a very well written exchange between the two, precisely because it is comprised entirely of classic Latin sayings. The inferences run deep and sharp.
In fact, the colloquial translation, while generally excellent, doesn't really communicate the fast-paced piling on that is occurring - especially when Doc Holliday says "Requiescat in pace".
Ringo opens an idea of an insult, while Holliday closes each of Ringo's insults on themselves.
Very good writing.
