[Pony comes home after a late night out]
Where the hell have you been?! Do you know what time it is?! It's 2:00 in the morning, kiddo.
Hey, Pony, where've ya been?
I fell asleep in the lot.
You what?!
I was talkin' to Johnny and I fell asleep in the lot. I didn't mean to.
Yeah? Hey. And I can't even call the cops, because you two would be thrown in a boys' home so fast, it would make your head spin.
C'mon, Pony, let's go to bed now.
Look, I said I didn't mean to!
"I didn't mean to. I forgot." That's all I ever HEAR from you!
Come on, Darry--
You shut up! I'm sick and tired of you sticking up for him! You hear me?!
Don't you yell at him!
[Darrel shoves Ponyboy across the room, onto the floor. Ponyboy staggers to his feet, then runs out the door]
Ponyboy, I-I didn't mean to!
