Ponyboy and Holden have very similar reputations. They may not act the same but they are both outcastes.
Ponyboy and the Greasers are outcasts of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They are not a part of the Socs because they don't a lot of money. They are also not liked by the lower class.
Holden is an outcast because in Pency he while everyone in the school was at the football game he was on a hill, alone, watching over them. He also does not like almost everyone because he thinks they are phonies.
Well both of them are here tonight at Hard Rock Café. Ponyboy is with Darry and Soda.
Holden, on the other hand, has just met Ernie and is stuck at the bar drinking.
First let's check in with Ponyboy.
Ponyboy, Darry, and Soda are waiting for their table In the front of the café. A woman comes to take them to their table. Soda flirts with the girl and tries to hook up with her but Darry stops it and tells the girl to show them to their table. They walk to the balk of the café next to the bar. They are seated on the third booth from the entrance.
Darry
What the hell was that!
Soda
What?
Darry
You damn know what.
Soda
Just trying to get around, you know.
Darry
Shut up!
Soda laughs.

Ponyboy

Darry
You're not going to drop out.
Ponyboy
You can't tell me what to do
Darry
Yes I can, I'm in charge here.
There was silent at the table.
