Dally then drives Ponyboy to the hospital to visit Johnny. The boys are praised for their heroism, but Johnny is charged with Manslaughter for killing Bob, while Ponyboy may be sent to a boys' home.īob's death has sparked calls from the Socs for "a rumble," which the Greasers win. Johnny is hospitalized with severe burns and a broken back after he, Ponyboy, and Dallas rescue the children. They go out for food, then return to find the church on fire with children trapped inside. Dallas arrives with news that Cherry has offered to support the boys in court. He reads Gone with the Wind and quotes the Robert Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay".
On the advice of Dallas, Ponyboy and Johnny leave town, and hide out in an abandoned church in Windrixville Ponyboy dyes his hair blonde with peroxide in case anybody spots him. They begin dunking Ponyboy in a fountain, but Johnny pulls out his switchblade and stabs Bob, killing him. Later that night, Ponyboy and Johnny are attacked in a park by Bob, Randy, and two other Socs. The girls defuse the situation by going home with the Socs. Two Socs, Bob Sheldon (Garrett) and Randy Adderson (Dalton), confront Johnny, Ponyboy, and Two-Bit, who are talking to the Socs' girlfriends, Cherry (Lane) and Marcia (Meyrink), at the drive-in.
Five of the Socs jump Ponyboy and cut his neck with a switchblade Johnny had been similarly attacked the month before. Their rivalry is with the Socs (pronounced "soashes"), a gang of wealthier kids. They include Ponyboy Curtis (Howell) and his two older brothers, Sodapop (Lowe) and Darrel (Swayze), as well as Johnny Cade (Macchio), Dallas Winston (Dillon), Two-Bit Matthews (Estevez), and Steve Randle (Cruise).
