After the scene when the brothers Earp attend the show, they are outside talking about going to work. Virgil's wife says that tonight "me and my old man are going to have some fun." Right after that Virgil replies "maiden name was Sullivan." What does the name Sullivan have to do with being sexual? Can anyone answer that one?

I think Virg was referring to John L. Sullivan, who was the last bare-knuckle heavyweight champ (boxing) of the world. One quote attributed to him was when he would walk into a bar and say, "I can lick any son of a bitch in the house" (which he would then demonstrate)
Found this doing a google search on tombstone+sullivan.

I think it had to do with her being Irish and the reputation

that Irish girls have for being a little wild.
