I'm pretty sure Steve answers the phone with "I'm your huckleberry", since I
once had a long e-mail exchange with him, basically accusing him of
misunderstanding what Val Kilmer was saying. I said "No, he says 'I'm here
huckleberry'" and Steve said "No, he says 'I'm your huckleberry'", which led
me to investigate the original script and the historical references.

Doc actually said "I'm your huckleberry" in both the script for Tombstone
and in real life according to certain biographers. So I sent off a note of
apology to Steve because I'm an idiot.

Val Kilmer sure does sound like he's saying "I'm here huckleberry" doesn't
he? But I don't think Steve does.
