A man can"t get a shave without gettin" his head blowed off!" After taking matters into his own hands and solving the problem, he is still frustrated. He scoffs, "What kind of town is this anyway, selling liquor to Indians?." It is made clear at this point in the film that Wyatt is no coward, and he is a man that can get things done. .

             When confronted by Doc Holliday for the first time, Wyatt is a gentlemen and doesn"t let Doc get to him. However, Wyatt is still frustrated with the condition of peace in the town. He complains, "Well this sure is a hard town for a fella to get a quiet game of poker in." After obliging Doc to have a drink, Doc explains that Tombstone has the ".biggest graveyard west of the Rockies. Marshals and I usually get along much better when we understand that right away." Wyatt remains a gentlemen even when tested in front of a crowd. He is the epitome of patience and self-restraint. However, when Holliday asks if he were to take a notion to break the law, Wyatt calmly explains that he has already, and the law will remain the law. Later in the scene, Wyatt accepts Doc"s invitation to the Shakespeare play to be performed that evening.

             Truly taking honor in his new position, Wyatt does many things to maintain order in Tombstone. Some of these things include going out to seek Mr. Shakespeare in order to keep the people from trashing the theater, saving Mr. Shakespeare from Ike and the other Clanton brothers, putting drunken Doc Holliday to bed when he could have been potentially very rowdy, and standing up for Clementine when Doc tells her to get out of town in front of the church crowd. .

             The other Earp brothers don"t get much of a chance to show their valor, however Virgil is an exception. Showing courage he chases after Billy Clanton who recently had attempted to murder Chihuahua, and even enters to Clanton home to make sure that justice is served.
