Stuart Whitman: Marshal Jim Crown

Quotes 

• Marshal Jim Crown : Good evening, everybody. Sorry I'm late. Somehow I didn't receive an invitation. Go on, don't let me interrupt anything.

  Arliss Blynn : No reflection on you, Marshal, but we were discussing ways of protecting ourselves and our property.

  Marshal Jim Crown : I'm in favor of that. I'm in favor of anything that makes my job easier. Anything except a vigilante committee meeting.

• Marshal Jim Crown : Mr. Forcey, when was the last time you held a gun? I hear it's been some time since they had Indians in Philadelphia.

• Dulcey Coopersmith : Well, he's already knocked Francis down.

  Marshal Jim Crown : Who?

  Dulcey Coopersmith : Sergeant Disher. Francis was taking down some of the things he was saying when, all of a sudden...

  Marshal Jim Crown : Well, if he's going to make a business of sticking his nose in other people's business, he better get used to bein' knocked down.

• Marshal Jim Crown : You all right?

  Francis Wilde : Yeah! Cub reporter holds own against cavalry immortal.

• Marshal Jim Crown : Where are you from? Somewhere down South?

  Joe Wyman : Maryland.

  Marshal Jim Crown : Well, the next time you talk about where this man belongs, you just try to remember where you were back when you were eight years old in Maryland. This place didn't exist. There wasn't any Cimarron Strip. There wasn't anything here but Comanche hunting grounds. It took the cavalry six long bloody years to make this place fit for citizens like you. Well, it doesn't matter whether Sergeant Disher was among 'em or not...

  Trooper Eldridge : He was.

  Marshal Jim Crown : Well, I'd say Sergeant Disher has as much right here as you have. Maybe more.
