I reckon it never occurred to you that your brothers might be worrying their heads off and afraid to call the police because something like that could get you two 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't you use your head? You haven't 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?
You keep your trap shut! I'm sick and tired of hearin' you stick up for him!Ponyboy. . .
