Justice J.B. Wilson Quotes in Chisum (1970)

Justice J.B. Wilson: Mr. Murphy. Just how much of Lincoln County are you after?

Lawrence Murphy: Well, Mr. Chisum came out here several years ago, put his name on everything he could. I've only been here a little while. Just getting started. Do you have anything to say to that, Mr. Chisum?

John Simpson Chisum: Well I don't favor talking to vermin, but I'll talk to you just this once. You're not just getting started. The line's been drawn. What Billy did balanced the books so far. But if one of your men cross my land or even touch one of my cows, or do anything to that store, I'm not going to the sheriff, the governor, or the president of the United States. I'm coming to see you.

Lawrence Murphy: Hmph. Mr. Chisum, that sounds like a threat.

John Simpson Chisum: [John Chisum belts Murphy, knocking him down with his right fist] Wrong word. FACT!
