... Hey, I didn't know you didn't like baloney. I went cold. I don't like it. I never liked it. Soda just looked at me. You used to eat it. That's why you wouldn't eat anything while you were sick. You kept saying you didn't like baloney, no matter what it was we were trying to get you to eat. I don't like it, I repeated.

They grew up on the outside of society. They weren't looking for a fight. They were looking to belong.

It's okay. We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too.

Greasers will still be greasers and Socs will still be Socs. Sometimes I think it's the ones in the middle that are really the lucky stiffs.
