Johnny: I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough. Heck, I wouldn't care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't seen. That time we were at Windrixville was the only time I've ever been away from my neighborhood.

Ponyboy: Nature's first green is gold, / Her hardest hue to hold. / Her early leaf's a flower, / But only so an hour. / Then leaf subsides to leaf, / So Eden sank to grief. / So dawn goes down to day, / Nothing gold can stay. Johnny: Where did you learn that? That's what I meant. Ponyboy: Robert Frost wrote it. I always remembered it because I never quite knew what he meant.

Ponyboy: I don't think I could ever tell Steve or Two-Bit or even Darry about the clouds and sunset. Just you and Sodapop. Maybe Cherry Valance. Johnny: Guess we're different, huh? Ponyboy: Shoot, yeah. Maybe they are. Johnny: Maybe you're right.

Ponyboy: Fell asleep in the lot. Darrel Curtis: You What? Ponyboy: I was talking to Johnny and I fell asleep in the lot, didn't mean to. Darrel Curtis: Yeah, hey! And I can't even call the cops because you two would be put in a boys' home so fast it can make your heads spin. Sodapop Curtis: Come on, pony. Let's go to bed now. Ponyboy: Look, I said I didn't mean to! Darrel Curtis: "I didn't mean to", "I forgot", That's all I ever hear from you! Sodapop Curtis: Come on, Darry... Darrel Curtis: YOU SHUT UP!

Darrel Curtis: Listen, with your brains and grades, you could get a scholarship, and we could put you through college, ain't that right Soda? But you're livin' in a vaccuum Pony, and you're gonna have to cut it out. You just don't stop living because you lose somebody. I thought you knew that. And anytime you don't like the way I'm running things around here, you can just get out, ALL RIGHT? Ponyboy: YOU'D LIKE THAT WOULDN'T YOU? YOU'D LIKE ME TO JUST GET THE HELL OUT! Well it's not that easy is it Soda? Sodapop Curtis: GOD DAMN, YOU GUYS! LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!

Randy: You can't win. You know that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matter. Greasers will still be greasers and socs will still be socs. It doesn't matter.

Two Bit: Shoot, this house ain't dirty. You ought to see my house. Ponyboy: I have and if you had the sense of a billy goat, you'd clean your house up 'stead of bummin' 'round ours. Two Bit: Shoot kid, if I did that, my mom would die of shock.

Ponyboy: Where the hell do you think you're going? Sodapop Curtis: I don't know, man. It's just like sometimes I have to get out. It's like I'm the middle man between a tug of war or something between you guys. I don't know, I can't take sides. Ponyboy, Darry could've put you in a boy's home, worked his way through college, I'm telling you the truth Pony. Hey, you don't want to be like me anyway. 'Cause I'm happy working at a gas station. You'd never be happy doing something like that. And Darry, you gotta stop yelling at him for every little thing he does, man. I mean he, he feels things differently than you. Bad enough having to listen to you guys, but when you try to get me to take sides, we're all we got left now. If we don't have each other, you end up like Dallas... and I don't mean dead either, I mean, I mean how he was before. So please... don't fight anymore... please. Darrel Curtis: Sure... sure little buddy, we ain't gonna fight no more. Sodapop Curtis: Ponyboy... Pony... Now don't you start bawling too pony. Only one bawl-baby in this family is enough. Ponyboy: I ain't crying.

[in the hospital after the church fire] Man: You're young. You shouldn't smoke. It's a hard habit to break. Ponyboy: Well, you're smoking. Man: But, I'm older than you so I can do it.

Ponyboy: [hugging Darryl] I'm sorry, Darryl. Darrel Curtis: [crying] I thought we lost you like we did mom and dad.
