  • "My first trip to the zoo. Oh, boy, oh, boy."
  • During Ponyboy and Randy's talk in the movie, Two-Bit is left with the other socs and trolls them the entire time.
    Two-Bit: Look at their pants!
  • Dally's last second entrance before the rumble even starts.
    Dally: DON'T YOU KNOW A RUMBLE'S NOT A RUMBLE WITHOUT ME!!!?
  • Dally's friend Tim Shepard remarking that he saw Dally's picture in the paper and couldn't believe it didn't have "Wanted Dead or Alive" under it.
  • Two-Bit meeting Cherry and Marcia.
    Two-Bit: Who's this, your great-aunts?
    Cherry: (without missing a beat) Great-grandmothers, twice removed.
    Two-Bit: Shoot, you're ninety-six if you're a day.
    Marcia: I'm a night.
    Two-Bit: Brother, you're a sharp one. Where'd you two ever get to be picked up by a couple of greasy hoods like Pony and Johnny?
    Cherry: We really picked them up. We're really Arabian slave traders and we're thinking about shanghaiing them. They're worth ten camels apiece at least.
    Two-Bit: Five. They don't talk Arabian, I don't think. Say something in Arabian, Johnnycake.
  • It's easy to miss, but in the movie, Two-Bit is a fan of Mickey Mouse cartoons. At one point he's utterly transfixed on the TV, holding a beer in one hand and most of a chocolate cake in the other.
  • Before the rumble, Ponyboy asks when Soda and Darry started shaving. Soda jokingly wonders if he was hoping to sprout a full beard in time for the fight, and Pony sarcastically replies that he should write in to the Reader's Digest, since they pay for jokes.
  • At one point, Curly Shepard and Ponyboy were playing a game of "chicken", which involves both of them holding their cigarette butts at the tip of each other's fingers. Whoever gives up first because he can't stand the pain loses. Tim Shepard finds this and smacks their heads together for being idiots.
