A line from Dallas WinstonI 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!

Some cute redhead, huh? [leans forward and into Cherry's ear] Are you a reeaal red? [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] ...these eyebrows. [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? [rolls his eyes] 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. [sitting up next to her again] Can I interest you in a Coca-Cola, or a...
Cherry [interrupts]
Get lost, hood!
Dallas Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this problem with...yelling in my face. [stands up] Alright, I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted. 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...
Dallas [looks up]
What'd you say?
Dallas What'd you say? What'd you say, you little shit? What'd you say to me?
Come on...
Dallas Wiseass! [seconds later, he gets up and leaves]
Cherry [to Johnny]
Thank you...he had me scared to death!
You sure didn't show it. Ain't nobody ever talk to Dal like that!
Cherry From what I saw, you do.

Act like you got hurt.
Motorcycle Cop
[Ponyboy does so] [walks up]
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. [the cop walks away] Sucker. [the cop rides on his motorcycle while leading them to the hospital; to Ponyboy] I was crazy, you know that, kid? I was crazy for wanting Johnny to stay out of trouble, man. 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, man. You just better wise up. You get tough like me and you don't get hurt! You watch out for yourself, and nothing - nothing can touch you, man!
