Later, Two-Bit showed up and persuaded the girls to let him drive them home. Dally scowled and stalked off, while Johnny and Ponyboy made friends with the Soc girls. It was even more unusual, since he recently got beat up very badly by some vicious Socs. Johnny told Dally to cut it out, which was unusual for him since he usually “can’t say boo to a goose”. Later, when it was dark enough, they snuck into the Nightly-Double drive in unpaid and Dally started pestering some Soc girls. Next they went to the Dingo drive-in and found out what was happening around town, like who’s in jail and who stole what. They goofed around until the manager got wise and made them leave, although not in time to stop Dally from leaving with two packages of Kools. The next day Dally and he went to the drugstore. He managed to make it home with only a bruise on his cheek and a cut on his forehead. They are his brothers Soda and Darry, also Two-Bit, Johnny, Steve, and Dally. They almost cut his hair off, but his “gang” came to the rescue. Two blocks away from home he got jumped by some Socs (the opposite of Greasers abbreviation for Socials). In the beginning, Ponyboy was unwisely walking home alone from the “movie house”. Here's a summary of the first three chapters.
