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!
