Dallas Winston
- [Dallas yells at a doctor after seeing Johnny die]
- Dallas: WHY DO YOU BOTHER HELPING PEOPLE, HUH? It doesn't do any good.
- Dallas: [passing Ponyboy while lying on a stretcher at the hospital after saving the children from the burning church] You ever pull a stunt like that again, I'll kill you.
- Dallas: We gotta win that fight tonight. We gotta get even with those Socs! Let's do it for Johnny, man. We'll do it for Johnny!
- Dallas: Here, I thought this might cool you off.
- [hands Cherry a coke and sits right next to her]
- Cherry: [takes the straw out of her coke and throws it in Dally's face] Maybe that'll cool YOU off, Greaser... when you learn to talk and act decent, then maybe I'll cool off too.
- Dallas: [wipes some of the coke off his face and goes in for Cherry] Firey, huh? Just the way I like them!
- Cherry: [tries to push Dallas off] GET OFF OF ME!
- Dallas: Come on...
- Johnny: Look, leave her alone, Dal!
- Dallas: What'd you say?
- Johnny: [a little bit frightened] Come on Dal, you heard me.
- Dallas: What'd you say? What'd you say you little shit? What'd you say to me?
- Johnny: Come on...
- Dallas: Wiseass!
- [seconds later he gets up and leaves]
- Ponyboy: Now you blew it.
- Cherry: [Turns to Johnny] Thank you... he had me scared to death!
- Johnny: You sure didn't show it. Ain't nobody ever talk to Dal like that!
- Cherry: From what I saw, you do.
- Dallas: What do you guys want?
- Ponyboy: Johnny killed a Soc.
- Dallas: What? Alright. Good for you. Let's go.
- Johnny: Well I figured you could get us out if anyone could, Dal. I- I'm sorry I got you away from this party and all but I just don't know what to do, man.
- Dallas: Nah. I was just uh... I was just trying to get some sleep. I got in a fight with Sheppard tonight. Wait a minute. Let me think about this mess. Get in.
- [pulls Ponyboy and Johnny inside]
- Dallas: Ponyboy, are you wet?
- Motorcycle Cop: [Pulls Dallas over for speeding] Where's the fire?
- Dallas: [Lying] This kid fell off his motorcycle, I'm taking him to the hospital.
- Motorcycle Cop: Is he hurt bad?
- Dallas: How should I know? I ain't no doc.
- [Cop goes away]
- Dallas: Sucker.
- Dallas: [at the drive-inn, Dallas, Ponyboy and Johnny sit behind two girls, both Socs] Some cute redhead, huh?
- Dallas: [leans forward and into Cherry's ear] Are you a reeaal red?
- Dallas: [she giggles slightly, but keeps her eyes on the movie] 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 your... your...
- [motioning to her skirt, then quickly to her face]
- Dallas: ... these eyebrows.
- Cherry: [Dallas sits back and laughs. Cherry gives him an incredulous glare] Get your feet off my chair and shut your trap.
- Dallas: Who's gonna make me, huh?
- [rolling his eyes]
- Dallas: Who, your boyfriend?
- Cherry: You'd better leave us alone, or I'll call the cops.
- Dallas: [sarcastically, in mock fright] Oh, my, my! You've got me scared to death. What am I gonna do now, Pony? This girl's making me shake.
- Cherry: Can't you just leave us alone? Be nice and leave us alone?
- Dallas: [grins] I'm never nice.
- Dallas: [sitting up next to her again] Can I interest you in a Coca-Cola, or a...
- Cherry: [interrupting] Get lost, hood!
- Dallas: Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this problem with... yelling in my face.
- Dallas: [stands up] Alright, I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted.
- Dallas: You think my old man gives a hang if I'm dead in a car wreck or drunk or in jail or something, he doesn't care but that doesn't bother me. You're not going anywhere.
- Dallas: I was crazy, you know that, Pony? I was crazy for wanting Johnny to stay out of trouble. If he was smart, like me, he wouldn't be in this mess. If he was smart like me, he wouldn't have ran into that church man. You better wise up Pony. You better wise up man. You get TOUGH like me and you don't get hurt! You watch out for yourself, and nothing can touch you man!
- Dallas: Johnny, you don't know what a few months in jail can do to you, man. You get mean in jail, I just don't wanna see that happen to you like it happened to me, man. Understand?
- [a little girl with a kid comes over to Dally, Ponyboy, and Johnny]
- Little Girl: Do you have 15 cents?
- Dallas: I don't have any money.
- Little Girl: Do you have a dime?
- Dallas: Go away. We're busy here.
- Little Girl: Do you...?
- Dallas: [Annoyed by now] Go away! Get out of here!
- Dallas: [When she is gone] That was a close call.
- Dallas: You'd better wise up, Pony... you get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothing can touch you, man.
