Cherry Valance
- Dallas: Here, I thought this might cool you off.
- [hands Cherry a coke and sits right next to her]
- Cherry: [takes the straw out of her coke and throws it in Dally's face] Maybe that'll cool YOU off, Greaser... when you learn to talk and act decent, then maybe I'll cool off too.
- Dallas: [wipes some of the coke off his face and goes in for Cherry] Firey, huh? Just the way I like them!
- Cherry: [tries to push Dallas off] GET OFF OF ME!
- Dallas: Come on...
- Johnny: Look, leave her alone, Dal!
- Dallas: What'd you say?
- Johnny: [a little bit frightened] Come on Dal, you heard me.
- Dallas: What'd you say? What'd you say you little shit? What'd you say to me?
- Johnny: Come on...
- Dallas: Wiseass!
- [seconds later he gets up and leaves]
- Ponyboy: Now you blew it.
- Cherry: [Turns to Johnny] Thank you... he had me scared to death!
- Johnny: You sure didn't show it. Ain't nobody ever talk to Dal like that!
- Cherry: From what I saw, you do.
- Dallas: [at the drive-inn, Dallas, Ponyboy and Johnny sit behind two girls, both Socs] Some cute redhead, huh?
- Dallas: [leans forward and into Cherry's ear] Are you a reeaal red?
- Dallas: [she giggles slightly, but keeps her eyes on the movie] Are you real? How can I find out if this is your real red hair? If this is the same red hair that you have on your... your...
- [motioning to her skirt, then quickly to her face]
- Dallas: ... these eyebrows.
- Cherry: [Dallas sits back and laughs. Cherry gives him an incredulous glare] Get your feet off my chair and shut your trap.
- Dallas: Who's gonna make me, huh?
- [rolling his eyes]
- Dallas: Who, your boyfriend?
- Cherry: You'd better leave us alone, or I'll call the cops.
- Dallas: [sarcastically, in mock fright] Oh, my, my! You've got me scared to death. What am I gonna do now, Pony? This girl's making me shake.
- Cherry: Can't you just leave us alone? Be nice and leave us alone?
- Dallas: [grins] I'm never nice.
- Dallas: [sitting up next to her again] Can I interest you in a Coca-Cola, or a...
- Cherry: [interrupting] Get lost, hood!
- Dallas: Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this problem with... yelling in my face.
- Dallas: [stands up] Alright, I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted.
- Bob Shelton: [the Soc's pull up in there car to find their girls with the greasers] Hey! Cherry! What're you doin'?
- [Cherry glares at him]
- Bob Shelton: Just because we got a title drunk...!
- Cherry: A little? You call reeling and passing out in the streets a little? Bob, I told you, I'm never going out with you when you're drinking again and I mean it!
- Randy: Look, that doesn't mean you can go walkin' the streets with these bums.
- Two Bit: Who you callin' bums, pal?
- Randy: You! Look, Greaser, we got four more of us in the backseat.
- Two Bit: [Two-Bit hands a broken pop bottle to Ponyboy and flips out his switchblade] Then, pity the backseat.
- Randy: If... if you're lookin' for a fight...
- Two Bit: I am lookin' for a fight!
- Randy: C'mon, put the knife down! C'mon!
- Two Bit: C'mon! Right now, right now!
- Cherry: Stop! Stop it! I hate fights, alright? I hate them!
- [to Bob]
- Cherry: We'll go home with you, just give me a minute.
- Cherry: What's your name?
- Ponyboy: Ponyboy Curtis.
- Cherry: That's an original name.
- Ponyboy: Yeah, my dad was an original person. I got a brother named Sodapop. It even says so on his birth certificate.
- Cherry: My name's - Sherry, but my friends call me Cherry because of my hair.
- Ponyboy: Yeah, I know. We go to the same school.
- Cherry: [getting out of the backseat of a car parked at the movie Drive-In] What do you think you're doing?
- Bob Shelton: Cherry, just relax. Just try. You're supposed to be my girlfriend, aren't you?
- Cherry: Well, don't ever pull anything like that again.
