Darry yells at Ponyboy because he fell asleep in the lot and came home late.
I didn't mean to. I was talking to Johnny and we both dropped off...
I shouldn't have fallen asleep in the lot..
I...I went to sleep in the lot...
You what?
where the heck have you been? Do you know what time it is? Well, its two in the morning kiddo. Another hour and I would have had the police after you. Where were you, Ponyboy? Where in the almighty universe were you?
Hey, Ponyboy, where ya been?
Darry explains to Darry that he and Soda was worried about him and was about to call the police on him.
Why is Darry so hard on me?
I said I didn't mean to...
I reckon it never occured to you that your brothers might be worrying their heads off and afraid to call the police because something like that could get you thrown in a boys´ home so quick it´d make your head spin. And you were asleep in the lot? Ponyboy, what on earth is the matter with you? Can you use your head? You haven even got a coat on.
I didn't mean to! I didn't think! I forgot! That´s all I hear out of you! Can ´ t you think of anything?
Darry yells at Soda because he tries to stand up for Ponyboy. Ponyboy tells Darry to not yell at him but Darry hits him.
You don ´ t yell at him!
I should have stayed in the lot with Johnny...
You keep your trap shut! I ´ m sick and tired of hearing you stick up for him.
