It seems like there's gotta be some place

without Greasers, Socs....

There must be some place...

...with just plain ordinary people.

It's like that out in the country...

...away from all the big towns.

In the country.

I miss going there with my folks.

Ponny, wake up.

What time is it?

I don't know. I went to sleep, too.

You better go home.

I'm gonna stay all night out here.

Who'll care anyway?

If you get cold, come to my house.

What's Darry gonna say?

Where have you been?

Do you know what time it is?

It's :
in the morning.

Where have you been?

Fell asleep in the lot.

I was talking to Johnny, then fell asleep.

I didn't mean to.

I can't even call the cops because

you two would be sent to a boy's home.

-Let's go to bed now.

-I said I didn't mean to.

"l didn't mean to, I forgot."

That's all I ever hear from you.

You shut up! I'm tired

of you sticking up for him!

Don't you yell at him.

Ponyboy...

...I didn't mean to.

Come on, Johnny. Let's run away.

Take it easy. It will be all right.

Just relax a minute.

Got a cigarette? I'm scared, man.

Don't be, man. You're scaring me.

What happened?

Darry hit me.

We got along fine until Mom and Dad died.

Now he can't stand me.

I think I like it better

when the old man's hitting me.

At least he knows I'm there.

Let's walk to the park.

Maybe I'll cool off enough to go home.

Ain't you about to freeze to death?

You're not kidding.

Got a light?

Found this butt, man.

Here.

Look what's coming.

This is our territory.

I bet they're looking for us.

Want to split?

Stay cool.

What do you know?

They're drunk.

It's that guy with the rings!

Aren't these the Greasers who...

...tried to pick up our women?

You're out of your territory.

Better watch it!

No, you better watch it!

You guys know what Greasers are?

White trash with long, greasy hair.

You know what a Soc is?

What?

White trash with Mustangs and madras.

Get him!

Johnny, run!

Stay down, pal!

Son of a b*tch! Grab his arms!

Give me a drink for this Greaser.

Here, give me that.

Have a drink, pal.

I killed him.

I killed that boy.

I killed him.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

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

I won't look.

Are you all right?

You really did kill him?

I had to.

They were drowning you.

They might have killed you.

They were gonna beat me up.

What happened to the other guys?

They all ran. They all ran off

when I stabbed him.

What do you boys want?

We gotta see Dallas.

He's busy.

Tell him it's Ponyboy and Johnny, man.

He'll come.

Come on.

What do you guys want?

-Johnny killed a Soc.

-What?

All right, good for you. Let's go.

We thought you could get us out,

if anyone could.

I'm sorry to get you away from this party,

but I don't know what to do.

I was just trying to get some sleep.

I got in a fight with Shepard tonight.

Let me see what we can do. Get in.

-Are you wet?

-I'm okay.

You'll die of pneumonia

before the cops ever get you.

Hey, stupid, take your sweatshirt off.

You'll freeze to death.

I wish I had a weed now.

Don't point the thing at me. It's loaded.

Here's $ .

I'm not anxious to tell your brother

and get my head kicked in.

Then don't.

This is a little big, but it's dry.

Take the :
train to Windrixville.

It's a freight.

There's an abandoned church

on top of Jay Mountain.

There's a pump in the back,

so you don't have to worry about water.

Get a week's supply of food as soon

as you get there, before the story gets out.

Then don't so much as stick your noses

out the door. Am I clear?

I'll be there when everything is cool.

Relax. lt'll work out.

I thought New York was the only place

I'd end up in a murder wrap.

Jesus Christ!

-Let's check the other car.

-Yeah.

Check it out, man.

The church.

-What was that?

-Just an owl.
