"When I stepped out...

"...into the bright sunlight...

"...from the darkness

of the movie house...."

What's going on?

We're early.

What do you want to do?

Nothing legal. Let's get out of here.

-How're you doing, Bill?

-Sharp!

Turn around! I've had it!

Here come the hobos.

I ain't got no cash....

Anyone want to buy a windshield wiper?

Give them the money.

What's the movie about?

I don't know.

It's one of those beach movies.

-Did I say you guys can play on my grass?

-No.

Then what are you doing here?

Give me those cards, will you?

-You guys ever play " Pick-Up"?

-Yeah.

What?

Don't get wise.

I don't like little kids,

I just don't like them.

Get out of here or I'll kill you!

The sky's getting dark. Let's go.

What do you think you're doing?

Cherry, just relax. You're supposed to be

my girlfriend, aren't you?

Don't ever pull anything like that again.

Are you serious?

Who do you think you are?

Don't do this to me.

I'm not going back there.

-I don't even understand.

-They just want to make it complicated.

Hey, baby, you want to see

what's hanging?

You're sure you want to do this?

I came to see a movie

and I'm gonna see a movie!

I'm freezing.

-Why didn't you bring a coat, stupid?

-I forgot.

Some cute redhead.

Are you a real redhead?

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 these eyebrows, too?

Cut it out.

Get your feet off my chair

and shut your trap!

-Who's gonna make me?

-I'm gonna get a Coke.

Who, your boyfriend?

Leave her alone.

That's the Greaser who just

got out of jail.

Whatever you say.

Better leave us alone or

I'll call the cops.

You got me scared to death.

What am I gonna do, Pony?

This girl is making me shake.

Why don't you be nice and leave us alone?

I'm never nice.

Can I interest you in

a Coca-Cola or a Up?

Get lost, hood!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you had this problem

of yelling in my face.

All right, I'll go.

I know when I'm not wanted.

You filthy Greaser!

Are you going to start now, too?

You don't look the type anyway.

What's your name?

Ponyboy Curtis.

That's an original name.

My dad was an original person.

I got a brother named Sodapop.

It says so on his birth certificate.

My name's Sherry, but my friends

call me Cherry because of my hair.

Yeah, I know.

We go to the same school.

You're a cheerleader.

You don't look old enough

to be going to high school.

What's a nice boy like you doing

hanging around with that trash?

Dal is my buddy. I'm a Greaser, too.

We're all friends.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Your brother, Sodapop,

he works at the gasoline station?

Yeah, that's him.

-Sodapop is cute.

-I should have known you were brothers.

How come we don't see your brother

at school anymore?

Has he been working full time

since your parents died?

-He's a dropout.

-That's too bad.

I thought this might cool you off.

Maybe that will cool you off

until you learn how to be decent.

Fiery, huh?

Just the way I like them!

Get off of me!

Leave her alone.

What did you say?

Come on, you heard me. Leave her alone.

-What did you say, you little sh*t?

-Come on.

Wise ass.

Thank you, he had me scared to death.

You didn't show it.

Nobody talks to Dal like that.

From what I saw, you do.

Why don't you sit with us to protect us?

-What do you think? Come on.

-Might as well.

How old are you?

-Fourteen.

-Sixteen.

I thought you were both fourteen.

Why aren't you scared of us

like you were of Dally?

You two are too sweet-looking.

Besides, I know about Dallas Winston.

You two don't look mean.

Right. We're young and innocent.

No, you're just not dirty.

Dal is okay. He's tough and all,

but he's cool if you get to know him.

He'd leave you alone

if he knew who you were.

-I'm glad he doesn't know us.

-I kind of admire him.

-Get outta my hair!

-You gotta couple of hairs outta place!

Here, kid, have a beer.

It'll settle your nerves.
