It says in the Bible: "The candle of the wicked shall be put out." Dialogue Neemo: So if you want these horses, I sell them to you. Did you bring some gold with you? John Simpson Chisum: No. Neemo: Silver? John Simpson Chisum: Just lead! Morton: You're gonna shoot us, ain't you, Chisum? John Simpson Chisum: I thought about it. Then I thought about something Henry Tunstall once said. He watched a man walk to the gallows. Saw him hang. Said it was ghastly. James Pepper: What're you gonna do? John Simpson Chisum: What I'd have done 25 years ago. Pat, get the men out of South Camp. Trace, you round up everybody that can ride a horse or pull a trigger. Let's break out some Winchesters. James Pepper: You know, there's an old saying, Miss Sallie: "There's no law west of Dodge, and no God west of the Pecos." Right, Mr. Chisum? John Simpson Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. 'Cause no matter where people go, sooner or later, there's the law. And, sooner or later, they find that God's already been there.
