    How did this movie do
    Budget: $10 Million
    Box office: $34 Million

  • Casting

    • Nicolas Cage auditioned for the role of either Darry or Dallas. He did some method acting for the part by locking himself in a room for two weeks, drinking beer and staring at a photograph of Charles Bronson, hoping that the physical and mental attitude of playing a thug would rub off on him. Director (and Cage’s Uncle) Francis Ford Coppola turned him down and told him to audition for the part of Two-Bit. At this point, Cage was so fed up from all his hard work, which ended up being in vain, that he walked away from the project.

    • Dennis Quaid turned down the role of Dally in order to appear in The Right Stuff (1983).

    • Mickey Rourke auditioned for the role of Darry, but Francis Ford Coppola felt that he was not the right fit. Coppola did use him for his next film Rumble Fish (1983), however.

    • Timothy Hutton was considered for the role of Ponyboy Curtis and Scott Baio was considered for the role of Johnny Cade.

    • Sarah Jessica Parker and Brook Shields turned down the offer to play Cherry. Heather Langenkamp auditioned for the role of Cherry. She had a cameo as a girl in the drive-in scene, but it was cut.

    • Val Kilmer was offered the role of Ponyboy, but he turned it down due to a theatrical commitment.

  • Book vs Movie

    • During the restored dinner scene where Sodapop runs away, Sodapop is seen with a piece of paper at the table. According to the novel, it is a “Dear John” letter from his girlfriend Sandy, whom he claimed he wished to marry. Sandy had cheated on Soda and gotten pregnant, so she moved to Florida to live with her grandmother.

    • There are a few differences regarding the characters’ descriptions from the novel. In the novel, Dallas has extremely blond hair, but his hair is almost jet black in the film. Also, in the novel, “Two-Bit” is six-foot, but Emilio Estevez was only 5′ 6-1/2″. Steve Randle is also supposed to be tall in the novel, unlike Tom Cruise.

    • The book describes the Greasers as controlling the poorer East side of town while the Socs control the wealthier West side. The movie says the Greasers are on the North side of town and the Socs are on the South side of town.

    • A main worry of the eldest Curtis brother is being able to keep custody of his two younger brothers, but this plot line is hardly mentioned in the movie.

    • In the beginning of the book, Ponyboy on his own and almost gets mugged by the Socs and the Greasers show up to save him. In the beginning of the movie Ponyboy is with Dally and Johnny and don’t really interact with the Socs at all.

    • The book makes it clear that Ponyboy is writing his story for a school project while the movie never fully specifies why Ponyboy is telling the audience his story. The book emphasizes the fact that Ponyboy’s a great writer and student, but the movie never delves into this character development. The book has a storyline dedicated to a teacher reaching out to Ponyboy to support him and make sure he’s able to finish his assignment when he’s struggling after the events of the fire, but none of that happens in the movie either.

    • Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) discusses his parents, who died in a car crash leaving the three siblings to fend for themselves, heavily throughout the book.

    • The book ends with a courtroom scene that has Ponyboy take the stand regarding Johnny killing Bob the Soc and about his home life with Darry and Sodapop.

    • The book focuses more on how Darry is tough on Ponyboy because he’s trying to protect him. It also referenes that Sodapop tends to keep the peace between Darry and Pony.  Much of the book is dedicated to Ponyboy writing about his love and admiration for his brother, which is pretty absent in the film version.

    • The book spends a long time discussing Johnny Cade’s (Ralph Macchio) life and past events, particularly being jumped by a group of Socs in a blue Mustang, the same Soc he stabs to protect Ponyboy, which has turned him into a nervous wreck.

    • In the book, Ponyboy has an incredibly difficult time dealing with the events of the past few days and the death of both Johnny and Dally. It’s completely understandable that he shuts down and becomes sick both physically and mentally after learning Johnny died from his injuries during the fire and Dally was killed by the police.

    • In the book there is a scene where Ponyboy breaks a glass bottle to threaten a Soc.  Then later picks up the glass so no one gets a flat tire.  That is left out of the movie and makes Ponyboy’s character a little more difficult to understand.

  • Trivia

    • In the poster for the film, the Greasers are shown laughing as Johnny is smirking. This was a candid shot, taken during the photo session in which the actors were supposed to look tough at the camera. What happened was that a crew member was approaching the food table off-camera, and a stagehand said, “Hey, that’s for the talent.” When Leif Garrett went to the table Ralph Macchio says, “Hey, Leif, that’s for the talent.” This comment cracked up the cast, and the photo was used.

    • Francis Ford Coppola received letters over the years from fans of the novel, many expressing disappointment that several key scenes from the book were omitted from the film version (they were in Coppola’s original cut, but were edited at the behest of the studio). Several years later, Coppola’s granddaughter was reading the book in class, and was about to watch the film with her fellow schoolmates. Feeling embarrassed, Coppola cobbled together what would eventually become his Director’s Cut, “The Outsiders – The Complete Novel”.

    • When Dallas falls out of his chair at the drive-in, it was completely accidental, and Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) looks briefly at the camera while laughing.

    • Francis Ford Coppola wanted Matt Dillon to spend a night in jail to “understand” the character of Dallas Winston a bit better. Dillon refused, saying, “No way, Francis, how about you go spend a night in jail?”

    • AUTHOR CAMEO: In the scene where Dally argues with a nurse in the hospital about the whereabouts of his hospital gown, the nurse is played by the author of “The Outsiders,” S.E. Hinton.

    • CAMEO: Sofia Coppola – The little girl who asks Dallas for spare change.

    • During filming, the actors playing the Socs were given leather-bound scripts and were put up in luxury accommodations, while the “Greasers” were given battered paperback scripts and had to stay in the ground floor of the hotel, as director Francis Ford Coppola wanted to create tension between the two groups.

    • During filming, Rob Lowe asked S.E. Hinton what happens to Sodapop Curtis. Hinton responded that Sodapop was drafted to Vietnam and died there.

    • While Ponyboy and Johnny are best friends in the novel and film, C. Thomas Howell recalls often not getting along with co-star Ralph Macchio, saying he was very serious and professional. He remembers a specific argument dealing with him wanting to beat his high score on Pac-Man and Macchio demanding they rehearsed their lines. Their differences could be attributed to the fact that Howell was only fifteen years old and Macchio was twenty at the time.

    • Out of the main cast, all the actors were in their late teens, except for Patrick Swayze, who was twenty-nine years old, and Ralph Macchio and Leif Garrett, who were both twenty when the film was made in 1982.

    • E. Hinton began writing the novel that the film is based on when she was only fifteen years old, finished it when she was sixteen, and the book was published when she was seventeen.

    • In the rumble scene, the first punch is given to Ponyboy. C. Thomas Howell (Ponyboy) recalls that the hit was real, and it knocked him out cold on-set.

    • E. Hinton was a part of every aspect of filming. She stated in several interviews how much she loved the boys that were cast to make up her gang of greasers. Since almost all of them were teenagers and away from home with no adult supervision, she claims that she became a mother figure for them on and off-set, and fondly remembers them calling her “Mom”.

    • In the scene where Ponyboy, Johnny, and Two-Bit are walking to Johnny’s house, a hat flies into the scene. Two-Bit picks it up and says, “Look! I have a new hat!” and walks away. The hat belonged to one of the camera men, who lost the hat when a large fan accidentally blew it off his head. Francis Ford Coppola had said to the cast earlier that he did not want to stop rolling, no matter what, so the hat is still in the movie.

    • During the rumble scene, Tom Cruise was accidentally socked in the jaw and needed dental work the following day. The Tulsa dentist has a picture of him and the young actor together in his office.

    • The film takes place in 1965.

    • The letter jacket that the Soc is wearing as he challenges Darrel is the letter jacket from the high school that author S.E. Hinton attended.

    • In addition to the twenty-two minutes of restored footage in the 2005 “Complete Novel” DVD, there are additional scenes that were not included, such as: an extension of the “walking home” introduction where the Socs accost Sodapop and Steve at the DX station, and Darry throws some debris from the roof of a house at their car as they drive past him (this extension also includes more narration by Ponyboy); an alternate introduction to Johnny where his mother chases him out of the house with a broom, only to be stopped by Two-Bit, who rushes to Johnny’s aid; additional footage of Ponyboy and Johnny at the church where they hide from some people riding on a horse; additional footage where Ponyboy and Darry have a fight only to be walked out on by Sodapop; and an extended morning scene following the church fire where Ponyboy awakes and urges Sodapop to wake up, echoing the words he heard Darry say in his dream at the church, “Rise and shine”.

    • In a recent interview about The Karate Kid (1984) Ralph Macchio was asked what was his favorite character that he has played he said “Johnny from The Outsiders because that was the role I really wanted and I booked it, Johnny has a special place in my heart.”

    • Francis Ford Coppola had the boys spend a night in the Curtis house used in the movie. He wanted the three “brothers” (Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, and C. Thomas Howell) to cook a meal together (none of them cooked) and get them to be as close as brothers. All the boys were in character for hours on end.

    • Two-Bit’s real name is Keith.

    • Ponyboy has a scab on his neck, which is visible in quite a few scenes, that was the result of being cut by a Soc in the original opening where Ponyboy is jumped by Socs after leaving the movie theater.

    • Emilio Estevez approached his character as a laid-back guy and thought up Two-Bit’s interest in Mickey Mouse, shown by his uniform of Mickey Mouse t-shirts and watching of cartoons.

    • The movie playing at the drive-in is Beach Blanket Bingo (1965).

    • The line said by Dally, “You’ll never get me alive!” at the end of the movie was improvised by Matt Dillon.

About The Movie From IMDB

The Outsiders Crime, Drama | March 25, 1983 (United States)
Director: Francis Ford CoppolaWriter: Kathleen Rowell, S.E. HintonStars: C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph MacchioSummary: Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1965. Fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Curtis is the youngest of three orphaned brothers who live on the north side of town, the "wrong side" of the tracks. Sensitive Ponyboy used to have a good relationship with his oldest brother Darrel, but since Darrel became the household caregiver, he is always on Ponyboy's case. Caught in the middle is third brother Sodapop, who dropped out of school to work full time. They all belong to The Greasers, a gang of boys from the north side also from working class families, often broken. Ponyboy's main concern is that any problem they may encounter, especially in their Greaser activities, will lead to the authorities splitting up their family. He also believes Darrel would have outgrown them and become something in his life if it wasn't for his loyalty to the gang, and the need to take care of the family. The rest of the world sees the Greasers as all the same, the face being Dallas Winston, the most volatile one who has just been released from prison, despite each boy having his own specific view of life. Similarly, the world sees the Socs, the Greasers' primary rivals, as all the same, rich spoiled entitled boys with a sense of superiority from the south side of town, despite again each boy being his own person. A connection between the two gangs happens in the form of Ponyboy and Cherry Valance, which doesn't sit well with Cherry's Soc boyfriend, Bob Sheldon. As a result, an incident occurs involving the Socs, Ponyboy and fellow Greaser, sixteen-year-old Johnny Cade, an equally sensitive boy who wants a better life for himself, but seems stuck in a downward spiral with parents who don't give him the time of day. Beyond Ponyboy and Johnny's lives being threatened by that incident, the Greasers and the Socs agree to a rumble to settle things once and for all. Some of the boys realize the rumble will accomplish nothing, with the questions being if they can convince their colleagues of the same, and if not what the consequences will be. ?Huggo

Quotes

Ponyboy: Nature's first green is gold / Her hardest hue to hold / Her early leaf's a flower / But only so an hour / Then leaf subsides to leaf / So Eden sank to grief / So dawn goes down to day / Nothing gold can stay.

Johnny: Where did you learn that? That's what I meant.

Ponyboy: Robert Frost wrote it. I always remembered it because I never quite knew what he meant by it.

Johnny: [his last words] Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.

Johnny: Ponyboy, I asked the nurse to give you this book so you could finish it. It was worth saving those little kids. Their lives are worth more than mine. They have more to live for. Tell Dally it was worth it. I'm just gonna miss you guys. I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it. He meant you are gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything is new, dawn. It's just. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep it that way, it's a good way to be. I want you to tell Dally to look at one. I don't think he's ever really seen a sunset. There's still a lot of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows. Your buddy, Johnny.

Steve: Hate to tell you this, buddy, but you have to wear clothes to work. There's a law or something.

[last lines]

Ponyboy: When I stepped out,into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house,I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman,and a ride home.

Ponyboy: [hugging Darrel] Darry!

Darrel Curtis: [crying] I thought we lost you like we did Mom and Dad.

Sodapop Curtis: [In the "Complete Novel" version; after Sodapop runs out from Ponyboy and Darry's fight, Ponyboy tackles him] Goddamn it, Ponyboy, you should have gone out for football instead of track.

Ponyboy: [On the ground] Where the hell do you think you're going?

Sodapop Curtis: I don't know, man. It's just like sometimes I have to get out. It's like I'm the middle man in a tug-of-war or something between you guys. I don't know, I can't take sides.

[Sits down. To Ponyboy]

Sodapop Curtis: Ponyboy, Darry could've put you in a boys' home, worked his way through college. I'm telling you the truth, Pony. I'm happy working at a gas station. Working with cars. I'm dumb. It's alright, I don't mind. You're not Pony. You'd never be happy doing something like that.

[to Darry]

Sodapop Curtis: Darry, you gotta stop yelling at him for every little thing he does, man. I mean, he, he feels things differently than you. Bad enough to have to...

[sniffling]

Sodapop Curtis: ...to listen to you. But when you start trying to get me to take sides. We're all we got left now. If we don't have each other, then we ain't got nothing. And when you ain't got nothin, you end up like Dally... I don't mean dead either, I mean, I mean how he was before. So please...

[Starts crying]

Sodapop Curtis: Don't fight anymore... please...

Darrel Curtis: Sure... sure little buddy, we ain't goin' to fight anymore.

[Hugs Sodapop]

Sodapop Curtis: [Sees Ponyboy looking left out and crying] Ponyboy... Pony.

[Ponyboy goes over to hug Sodapop]

Sodapop Curtis: Now, don't you start bawlin' too, Pony. One bawl-baby in this family's enough.

Ponyboy: [Crying] I ain't cryin'.

Sodapop Curtis: Let's go home. I'm cold.

[They get up and race each other home]

[first lines]

Ponyboy: [voicecover] When I stepped out into the bright sunlight, from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman, and a ride home.

[Dallas yells at a doctor after seeing Johnny die]

Dallas: WHY DO YOU BOTHER HELPING PEOPLE, HUH? It doesn't do any good.

Dallas: [passing Ponyboy while lying on a stretcher at the hospital after saving the children from the burning church] You ever pull a stunt like that again, I'll kill you.

Johnny: I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough. Hell, I wouldn't care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't done yet. So many damn things I ain't seen or done. That time when we were in Windrixville was the only time I've ever been away from my neighborhood.

Johnny: [Early morning sunrise] Golly, that was sure pretty, huh?

Ponyboy: Yeah.

Johnny: It's like the mist is what's pretty, ya know? All gold and silver.

Ponyboy: Ah-huh.

Johnny: Too bad it can't stay like that all the time.

Ponyboy: Nothing gold can stay.

Mrs. Cade: [Two-Bit and Ponyboy are at the hospital visiting Johnny. Mrs. Cade is furious because the nurses won't let her in] I've got a RIGHT to see him! He's my son! He'd rather see these no-good punks than his own mother? You skum...

Two Bit: [near tears] No wonder he hates your guts. You don't even care about him, you damn drunk. You go to hell. Go straight to hell.

Dallas: We gotta win that fight tonight. We gotta get even with those Socs! Let's do it for Johnny, man. We'll do it for Johnny!

Bob Shelton: You guys know what Greasers are? White trash with long, greasy hair.

Ponyboy: You know what a Soc is?

Bob Shelton: What?

Ponyboy: White trash with mustangs and madras.

[spits at Bob]

Bob Shelton: Get him!

Johnny: Leave her alone, Dal.

Dallas: What'd you say?

Johnny: Come on, you heard me. Leave her alone.

Dallas: What'd you say, you little shit? What'd you say to me? Wiseass.

Ponyboy: Darry hit me! I swear, we used to get along just fine until Mom and Dad died. Now he can't stand me.

Johnny: I think I like it better when the old man's hittin' me. At least he knows I'm there.

Dallas: What do you guys want?

Ponyboy: Johnny killed a Soc.

Dallas: What? Alright. Good for you. Let's go.

Johnny: Well I figured you could get us out if anyone could, Dal. I- I'm sorry I got you away from this party and all but I just don't know what to do, man.

Dallas: Nah. I was just uh... I was just trying to get some sleep. I got in a fight with Sheppard tonight. Wait a minute. Let me think about this mess. Get in.

[pulls Ponyboy and Johnny inside]

Dallas: Ponyboy, are you wet?

Johnny: I never noticed colors and clouds and stuff until you kept remindin' me about 'em. It's kinda like they were never there before.

Ponyboy: Yeah. I don't think I could ever tell Steve or Two Bit or even Darry about the clouds and sunset. Just you and Sodapop. Maybe Cherry Valance.

Johnny: Guess we're different, huh?

Ponyboy: Shoot, yeah. Maybe they are.

Johnny: Maybe you're right.

Johnny: What's goin' on, Dal?

Dallas: [Smoking a cigarette] We're early.

Ponyboy: What do you want to do?

Dallas: [Smiles] Nothin' legal, man. Let's get outta here.

Ponyboy: [after climbing through the church windows, of Jerry] Is the guy coming?

Johnny: No.

Ponyboy: Why? Too scared?

Johnny: Naw, too fat, man.

Cherry: I hope I never see Dallas Winston again. If I do I'd... probably fall in love with him.

Ponyboy: [Two-Bit is wrestling him] I gotta cut smoking or I'll never make track next year.

Darrel Curtis: Listen, with your brains and grades, you could get a scholarship, and we could put you through college, ain't that right, Soda? But you're livin' in a vacuum, Pony, and you're gonna have to cut it out. You just don't stop living because you lose somebody. I thought you knew that. And anytime you don't like the way I'm running things around here, you can just get out, ALRIGHT?

Ponyboy: YOU'D LIKE THAT, WOULDN'T YOU? YOU'D LIKE ME TO JUST GET THE HELL OUT! Well it's not that easy. Is it, Soda?

Sodapop Curtis: GODDAMN, YOU GUYS! LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!

Darrel Curtis: You smoke more than a pack today and I'll skin you. Understood?

Ponyboy: Yeah. You carry more than one bundle of roofing at a time and me an' Soda'll skin you. Understood?

[Ponyboy comes home]

Darrel Curtis: Where the hell have you been? Do you know what time it is? It's 2:00 in the morning, kiddo!

Sodapop Curtis: [sleepily] Hey, Pony. Where you been?

Ponyboy: Fell asleep in the lot.

Darrel Curtis: You WHAT?

Ponyboy: I was talking to Johnny and I fell asleep in the lot. Didn't mean to.

Darrel Curtis: Yeah, hey!

[tries to close the bedroom door after him but Darry flings it open and follows]

Darrel Curtis: And I can't even call the cops because you two would be put in a boys' home so fast it would make your heads spin.

Sodapop Curtis: Come on, Pony. Let's go to bed now.

Ponyboy: Look, I said I didn't mean to!

Darrel Curtis: "I didn't mean to", "I forgot". That's all I ever hear from you!

Sodapop Curtis: Come on, Darry...

Darrel Curtis: YOU SHUT UP! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING YOU STICK UP FOR HIM! YOU HEAR ME?

Ponyboy: Don't you yell at him!

Darrel Curtis: [Darrel hits him] Ponyboy, I didn't mean to.

Cherry: How old are ya'll anyway?

Ponyboy: Fourteen.

Johnny: Sixteen.

Marcia: By the looks of it I thought you were both four...

Cherry: Sixteen.

Jerry Wood: You guys are three of the bravest kids I've seen in a long time. What are you guys? Professional heroes or somethin'?

Ponyboy: We're Greasers.

Jerry Wood: Are-are you kiddin' me?

Johnny: Man that was one tough car. Mustangs, they're tough.

Dallas: Here, I thought this might cool you off.

[hands Cherry a coke and sits right next to her]

Cherry: [takes the straw out of her coke and throws it in Dally's face] Maybe that'll cool YOU off, Greaser... when you learn to talk and act decent, then maybe I'll cool off too.

Dallas: [wipes some of the coke off his face and goes in for Cherry] Firey, huh? Just the way I like them!

Cherry: [tries to push Dallas off] GET OFF OF ME!

Dallas: Come on...

Johnny: Look, leave her alone, Dal!

Dallas: What'd you say?

Johnny: [a little bit frightened] Come on Dal, you heard me.

Dallas: What'd you say? What'd you say you little shit? What'd you say to me?

Johnny: Come on...

Dallas: Wiseass!

[seconds later he gets up and leaves]

Ponyboy: Now you blew it.

Cherry: [Turns to Johnny] Thank you... he had me scared to death!

Johnny: You sure didn't show it. Ain't nobody ever talk to Dal like that!

Cherry: From what I saw, you do.

Motorcycle Cop: [Pulls Dallas over for speeding] Where's the fire?

Dallas: [Lying] This kid fell off his motorcycle, I'm taking him to the hospital.

Motorcycle Cop: Is he hurt bad?

Dallas: How should I know? I ain't no doc.

[Cop goes away]

Dallas: Sucker.

Johnny: I killed him. I killed that boy.

[Quiet, scared voice]

Johnny: I killed him.

Ponyboy: I think I'm gonna be sick

Johnny: Go ahead, man. I won't look at you.

Dallas: I don't like little kids. I just, I just don't like them.

Nurse: What's happened to your gown?

Dallas: I threw it away.

Nurse: [rolls eyes] I can't wait till you're outta here.

Dallas: Get out, just get out! You're making me sick in my stomach.

[laughs]

Two Bit: Shoot, this house ain't dirty. You ought to see my house.

Ponyboy: I have and if you had the sense of a billy goat, you'd clean your house up 'stead of bummin' 'round ours.

Two Bit: Shoot, kid, if I did that, my mom would die of shock.

Randy: You can't win. You know that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matter. Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs. It doesn't matter.

Steve: Where are Soda, and Super-dope, anyhow?

Darrel Curtis: Super-what?

Steve: All brawn, no brains.

Dallas: I'm sorry. I didn't know you had this problem with yelling in my face.

Dallas: I was crazy, you know that, Pony? I was crazy for wanting Johnny to stay out of trouble. If he was smart, like me, he wouldn't be in this mess. If he was smart like me, he wouldn't have ran into that church man. You better wise up Pony. You better wise up man. You get TOUGH like me and you don't get hurt! You watch out for yourself, and nothing can touch you man!

Sodapop Curtis: [runs over to an injured Ponyboy] Hey Pony... did they pull a blade on you?

Ponyboy: Yeah...

Sodapop Curtis: Hey, they ain't gonna hurt you no more.

Two Bit: [hat just flew out the window] Hey, look, I got me a new hat!

Dallas: [at the drive-inn, Dallas, Ponyboy and Johnny sit behind two girls, both Socs] Some cute redhead, huh?

Dallas: [leans forward and into Cherry's ear] Are you a reeaal red?

Dallas: [she giggles slightly, but keeps her eyes on the movie] Are you real? How can I find out if this is your real red hair? If this is the same red hair that you have on your... your...

[motioning to her skirt, then quickly to her face]

Dallas: ... these eyebrows.

Cherry: [Dallas sits back and laughs. Cherry gives him an incredulous glare] Get your feet off my chair and shut your trap.

Dallas: Who's gonna make me, huh?

[rolling his eyes]

Dallas: Who, your boyfriend?

Cherry: You'd better leave us alone, or I'll call the cops.

Dallas: [sarcastically, in mock fright] Oh, my, my! You've got me scared to death. What am I gonna do now, Pony? This girl's making me shake.

Cherry: Can't you just leave us alone? Be nice and leave us alone?

Dallas: [grins] I'm never nice.

Dallas: [sitting up next to her again] Can I interest you in a Coca-Cola, or a...

Cherry: [interrupting] Get lost, hood!

Dallas: Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this problem with... yelling in my face.

Dallas: [stands up] Alright, I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted.

Ponyboy: Soda, Soda, are you in love with Sandy?

Sodapop Curtis: Mhmm...

Ponyboy: What's it like?

Sodapop Curtis: Most of the time... it's real nice.

Two Bit: [referring to Pony with his hair bleached] Look at the blonde-headed monkey!

[Ponyboy has fainted and is delirious following the death of Johnny and Dally]

Ponyboy: Soda, is somebody sick?

Sodapop Curtis: Yeah, somebody's sick...

Two Bit: [Randy and friends walk up to Two bit and Ponyboy] No jazz before the rumble; you know the rules, Ape Face

Randy: We know!

[looks over to Ponyboy]

Randy: I wanna talk to you.

Two Bit: Go ahead, I'll keep my eye on him.

Soc getting teased by Two bit: Speaking about the rumble, pal...

Ponyboy: I'm freezing, man.

Dallas: Why didn't you bring a coat, stupid?

Ponyboy: I forgot.

Dallas: Johnny, you don't know what a few months in jail can do to you, man. You get mean in jail, I just don't wanna see that happen to you like it happened to me, man. Understand?

[a little girl with a kid comes over to Dally, Ponyboy, and Johnny]

Little Girl: Do you have 15 cents?

Dallas: I don't have any money.

Little Girl: Do you have a dime?

Dallas: Go away. We're busy here.

Little Girl: Do you...?

Dallas: [Annoyed by now] Go away! Get out of here!

Dallas: [When she is gone] That was a close call.

Two Bit: What are you thinking about me becoming your personal bodyguard huh Ponyboy?

Ponyboy: I don't think it's too hot of an idea.

Two Bit: [mocking a Soc] Hey check out their pants!

[laughs]

Two Bit: So, you guys waitin' for a floodin'?

Two Bit: You know the only thing that keeps Darry from being a Soc is us.

Dallas: You think my old man gives a hang if I'm dead in a car wreck or drunk or in jail or something, he doesn't care but that doesn't bother me. You're not going anywhere.

["shooting" at cops]

Dallas: You're never gonna get me alive!

Darrel Curtis: [the Greasers are on their way to the rumble to fight the Socs] Listen, Soda. You and Ponyboy, if the fuzz show, you beat it out of there. Hey, we'll get jailed, but you two will get the boys home, you know what I'm sayin'?

Steve: Ain't nobody gonna call the fuzz in this neighborhood! Cause they know better!

[laughs]

Darrel Curtis: [trying to get their attention again] All the- Hey, hey! All the- Hey! All the same, you two beat it out of there, ya hear me?

[the church is on fire]

Johnny: What's going on?

Ponyboy: Wonder how that started.

Dallas: Jesus Christ!

Darrel Curtis: Pony, what's wrong?

Ponyboy: Johnny's dead. Told him about beating the Socs, I don't know. He just died. Told me to stay gold. Dally's gone. He couldn't take it, he's going to blow!

Steve: Beer for breakfast there, Two-Bit?

[in the hospital after the church fire]

Jerry Wood: You're young. You shouldn't be smoking. It's a hard habit to break.

Ponyboy: Well, you're smoking.

Jerry Wood: I'm smoking but, I'm older than you are.

Dallas: You'd better wise up, Pony... you get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothing can touch you, man.

Paul: Hello, Darrel. Long time no see.

Darrel Curtis: Hello, Paul.

Tim Shepard: [turns to Two-Bit] What's up?

Two Bit: They used to buddy around together, play football.

Paul: [talking to Darry] I'll take you.

[Darry smiles coldly]

Two Bit: [offscreen] Anybody home?

Ponyboy: In here. Don't slam the door.

[Two Bit and Steve slam the door as Ponyboy rolls his eyes]

Sodapop Curtis: And when you ain't got nothing, You end up like Dallas... And I don't mean dead. I mean the way he was before.

Dallas: [after Ponyboy gets jumped] How's the kid?

Ponyboy: I'm fine. What are you doin' outta the cooler, Dal?

Steve: Yeah? And what are you doin' walkin' by your lonesome on the street?

Ponyboy: It's none of your business, smarty.

Steve: What do you mean, none of my business? It is my business. Look at my nose!

Ponyboy: It's huge.

Steve: Smartass. He is a smartass kid.

Cherry: Can't you leave us alone? BE NICE AND LEAVE US ALONE!

Dallas: I'm never nice. Can I interest you in a Coca-Cola or a 7-Up?

Cherry: GET LOST, HOOD!

Dallas: Don't you know a rumble ain't a rumble without me?

Sodapop Curtis: [to Ponyboy] Why don't you just focus on girls and cars? Works of me.

Sodapop Curtis: Hey, after we beat those Socs tonight, good me and Steve are gonna throw a huge party, and everyone's gonna get ripped!

Steve: OWWWW! WHOOO!

Darrel Curtis: Where you gonna get the dough, li'l man?

Sodapop Curtis: Uhhh... I'll think of something.

[Sits on couch]

Sodapop Curtis: Hey Two-bit, Mickey's on TV!

[Two-bit sits in front of the TV to watch]

Ponyboy: [sounding weak] Soda?

Sodapop Curtis: [quietly] Yeah?

Ponyboy: Is somebody sick?

Sodapop Curtis: Yeah somebody's sick...

[pause]

Sodapop Curtis: Be quiet. Get to sleep.

[repeated line]

Dallas: [muttering] Sucker.

[Ponyboy decides to run away with Johnny]

Johnny: What happened?

Ponyboy: [crying] Darry hit me.

Steve: What do you think, man? You think it makes me look tough?

Sodapop Curtis: I think it makes you look different.

Steve: What'd you mean, "different"?

Sodapop Curtis: Well, you got a hole in your mouth.

Ponyboy: [in the court room] They pushed me in the fountain and they tried to drown me, and they were gonna beat up Johnny Cade.

Ponyboy: Great. My first trip to the zoo!

Bob Shelton: [the Soc's pull up in there car to find their girls with the greasers] Hey! Cherry! What're you doin'?

[Cherry glares at him]

Bob Shelton: Just because we got a title drunk...!

Cherry: A little? You call reeling and passing out in the streets a little? Bob, I told you, I'm never going out with you when you're drinking again and I mean it!

Randy: Look, that doesn't mean you can go walkin' the streets with these bums.

Two Bit: Who you callin' bums, pal?

Randy: You! Look, Greaser, we got four more of us in the backseat.

Two Bit: [Two-Bit hands a broken pop bottle to Ponyboy and flips out his switchblade] Then, pity the backseat.

Randy: If... if you're lookin' for a fight...

Two Bit: I am lookin' for a fight!

Randy: C'mon, put the knife down! C'mon!

Two Bit: C'mon! Right now, right now!

Cherry: Stop! Stop it! I hate fights, alright? I hate them!

[to Bob]

Cherry: We'll go home with you, just give me a minute.

Dallas: You think my old man gives a hang if im dead in a car wreck, or drunk, or in jail or somethin', he doesn't care, but that doesn't bother me none. You're not going anywhere.

Two Bit: Hey baby, you wanna see what's hangin'?

Boy In Car: Aw, shut up, Two-Bit, before I hang you.

Ponyboy: [reading the paper] They're thinking about putting me and Soda in a boys' home. No way! They ain't putting me in no boys' home.

Steve: Don't worry, Ponyboy, they don't do that to heroes. Hey, where is Soda and Super-dope, anyhow?

Greaser in Concession Stand: Let's take it outside!

Cherry: GET LOST, HOOD!

Dallas: God, I didn't know you had this problem with, with yelling in my face.

Dallas: [to the little kids in the lot] What? Look, now don't get wise. I don't like little kids, just don't like 'em. GET OUT OF HERE!

[chases kids out of the lot]

Dallas: Man, I thought New York was the only place to end up in a murder rap, Jesus Christ!

Ponyboy: It was your bright idea, smarty.

Cherry: What's a nice boy like you doing hanging around with that trash?

Ponyboy: Dal is my buddy. I'm a Greaser, too. We're all friends.

Cherry: I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Ponyboy: [Complete Novel] Soda, how come you dropped outta school.

Sodapop Curtis: I'm dumb. I think alls I was passin' was Auto Mechanics and Gym.

Ponyboy: You're not dumb.

Sodapop Curtis: Yeah, I am.

Cherry: What's your name?

Ponyboy: Ponyboy Curtis.

Cherry: That's an original name.

Ponyboy: Yeah, my dad was an original person. I got a brother named Sodapop. It even says so on his birth certificate.

Cherry: My name's - Sherry, but my friends call me Cherry because of my hair.

Ponyboy: Yeah, I know. We go to the same school.

Darrel Curtis: [Complete Novel]

[to Ponyboy]

Darrel Curtis: If you had to go by yourself, you should have carried a blade.

Sodapop Curtis: Oh yeah, that would have been a great excuse for the Socs to cut his neck a little more there.

Darrel Curtis: Hey, if I want my kid brother to tell me what to do with my other kid brother, I'll ask you. All right, kid brother?

Dallas: [Complete Novel] My broad was two-timin' me again when I was in jail, man. It's cool.

Johnny: How come y'all ain't scared of us like you was Dally?

Cherry: You two are too sweet-looking to scare anyone. Besides, I know about Dallas Winston. You two don't look mean.

Ponyboy: Yeah, right. We're "young and innocent".

Cherry: No. You're just not dirty.

Cherry: You think the Socs have it made. The rich kids. The Southside Soc. Well, I'll tell you something, Ponyboy, and it might come as a surprise, but, things are rough all over.

Ponyboy: Come on. Let's get out of here. Or, Two-Bit will think we eloped to Mexico.

Cherry: You guys don't believe in playing rough or anything, do you?

Two Bit: [to Marcia] You dig okay, baby. Want a chew?

Ponyboy: Come on, Two Bit.

Two Bit: Go on. Help yourself. Put hair on your chest.

[Marcia giggles]

Cherry: What's he like? I feel like I know Soda, for as much as you talk about him. Tell me about Darry. Is he wild and reckless like Soda or - dreamy like you?

Ponyboy: He ain't like Soda and he sure ain't like me.

Cherry: [getting out of the backseat of a car parked at the movie Drive-In] What do you think you're doing?

Bob Shelton: Cherry, just relax. Just try. You're supposed to be my girlfriend, aren't you?

Cherry: Well, don't ever pull anything like that again.

Cherry: If I see you in school and I don't say hi, please don't take it personal. Okay?

Ponyboy: Yeah, I know.

Cherry: Really, you're a nice boy and everything.

Ponyboy: It's okay.

Ponyboy: Big time Socs, all right. It's always the same.

Johnny: I can't take much more of this, Ponyboy. I'll kill myself or something. I don't know.

Ponyboy: Now, Johnny. You can't kill yourself.

Johnny: I've got to do something. It seems like there's gotta be some place without Greasers, Socs. There must be some place with just plain ordinary people. People.

Cherry: I only wanted to help. I liked you from the start. The way we talked. Wouldn't you try to help me if you could?

Ponyboy: Can you see the sunset from the Southside very good?

Cherry: Yeah. Real good.

Ponyboy: You can see it from the Northside, too.

Dallas: Man, that little broad sure does hate me. I offered to take her over to the Dingo for a Coke, and she told me to go to hell. So you think she might like me a little bit? Huh?

Two Bit: What did "Mr. Super-Soc" have to say?

Ponyboy: He ain't a Soc. Just a guy that wanted to talk, that's all.

Dallas: Hey, you gotta cancer stick, Johnny?

Dallas: What do they do for kicks around here anyway? Play checkers or something? This place is out of it.

Dallas: [to Johnny. who lay dying in the hospital bed] So this is what you get for helpin' people, huh? You punk!
