Quotes from text by S.E. Hinton.

1. Paul Newman and a Ride Home

"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home."

2. Friday Night

"We all had the money to get in - it only costs a quarter if you're not in a car - but Dally hated to do things the legal way."

3. She's a Soc

"We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too... I'm not saying either Socs or greasers are better; that's just the way things are."

4. Cherry

"Nobody but Soda could really get me talking. Till I met Cherry Valance."

5. We Turn It Up

"They liked the Beatles and thought Elvis was out, and we thought the Beatles were rank and that Elvis was tuff..."

6. Marcia

"Marcia's number. Probably a phony one, too. I must have been outa my mind to ask for it."

7. Jay Mountain

"All gold and silver... Too bad it couldn't stay like that all the time."

8. So Tuff

"Cherry Valance was sitting in her Corvette by the vacant lot... That Sting Ray was one tuff car. A bright red one. It was cool."

9. Rumble at the Vacant Lot

"Tim Shepard's gang and our outfit are havin' it out with the Socs tomorrow night at the vacant lot. If they win, things go on as usual. If we do, they stay outa our territory but good."

10. In the Country

"In the country... I loved the country. I wanted to be out of towns and away from excitement. I only wanted to lie on my back under a tree and read a book or draw a picture..."
