"You're the guy that killed Bob Sheldon, and he was a friends of ours. We don't like nobody killing our friends," (145)
"You get back in your car or you'll get split," (145).
Socs gang around Ponyboy because they are angry that their friend Bob is dead.
"I mean it, I've had about all I can take from you guys," (145).
Ponyboy bust off the end of his bottle as a weapon to use against the Socs.
"You really would have used that bottle, wouldn't you? Steve and me were backing you, but I guess we didn't need to, you really would've cut them huh "(146).
"I guess so," (146).
The Socs backed up a little like they were scared.
"Ponyboy, listen, don't get tough. You're not like the rest of us and don't try to be... what in the world are you doing?" (146).
"Picking up the glass," (146).
Ponyboy does not stand down. Ponyboy hops off the car and continues to show the Socs how they will not push him around anymore.
The Socs get scared and run off.
Ponyboy shows that his old personality is not completely gone when he picks up the pieces of glass.
