and when SODA climbs in:  "NOW ITS A FUCKING SODA FOUNTAIN"

“AND IT HAS MONEY IN IT???? COOL”

darry knows that bringing all the boys here together was a bad idea

“GET THE FUCK OUT THE FOUNTAIN STEVE”

“ AND SODA DONT U DARE”

“TWO PUT UR FUCKING SHIRT BACK ON OR SO GOD FUUCKING HELP ME”

“i can’t take you guys ANYWHERE”

i know that darry FUCKING LOVES j.c. penney, target, macy’s and home depot (but since home depot is not at the mall, they have to make a stop after they leave the mall)

“THERE IS A SALE ON IN MACYS IN THE HOMEWARE SECTION AND WE ARE NOT GONNA MISS IT" 

“THE FUCKING SALE IS OVER IN TEN MINUTES AND IM NOT MISSING OUT ON BUYING A NEW BLENDER FOR A GOOD DEAL OF 15 DOLLARS JUST BECAUSE U WANT TO SPEND UR TIME BUYING THOSE FUGLY ASS PRETZELS FROM THAT FOODCART”

pony and johnny, at first, are sword fighting with tubes of wrapping paper at target

this is while darry’s buying stuff for the house at home that seems to magically disappear when all the boys are at the curtis house simultaneously….. like sofa cushions???? 

he doesnt know where they go or who takes them

but he knows it’s annoying as fuck

soda?? american eagle, express, j crew (if darry lets him)

stocking up on ALL the high quality flannels

STEVE WOULD KNOCK ON THE WRONG FUCKIG DOOR TO THE DRESSING ROOM THINKING IT WAS SODA

they’re probably building a paper towel fort in target

and they try to stay overnight

and everyone’s looking for them frantically

THIS IS IT

FINALE OF

the outsiders is better with titanic

this one fucked. me. up.

Ponyboy: Beyond being naive  ((mainly due to his young age)) he spends too much time in his own head which sort of disconnects him from those around him and he becomes resentful when other’s don’t see things that same way he does. 

Soda: He has a hard time expressing his emotions at the appropriate time and is prone to ‘blow up’ and taking his feelings out on others. Because he’s so concerned with keeping those around him happy, he neglects his own feelings and struggles to deal with the appropriately. 

Darry: His inability to ask for help, mainly because he some slight pride issues. He doesn’t want to be seen as weak or incapable, but occasionally his drive for self preservation ends up hurting those around him or even himself.  

Two-bit: He has a hard time coping with reality. When things get tough or he starts to feel to much, he tends to either drink or appear as though he’s oblivious to anything serious that is going on. 

Steve: He has a tendency to hold grudges and struggles with letting though. Because of this he can come across as hostile to those who have previously wronged him and he is not likely to give second chances. He has a hard time seeing the good in those he’s already deemed as ‘bad’.

Dally: He isolates himself a lot. Whether it’s through being mouthy or violent, or simply by staying in his room for weeks on end or getting himself tossed in jail. He tries desperately to not get too close to others, but because of this it’s hard for him to reach out when he really does end up needing it. 

C. Thomas Howell: I’ll never forget the day I got the call that Patrick Swayze had passed. ‘Buddy’ is what everyone called him. We had done three films together, The Outsiders, Red Dawn andGrandview USA. Buddy was such an important figure during my formative years. We spent a great deal of time together in a short span.

I met Patrick when I was 12 years old on the set of Urban Cowboy in Houston. My father was the stunt coordinator of that film and his mother, Patsy was the dance choreographer. Little did we know, we’d be spending a good portion of two and a half years together filming some very important projects. I was one of the first emancipated minors in Hollywood, which meant I was basically considered an adult in the eyes of the law.

It also meant that I could beat the California Child Labor Laws and work the hours of an adult which gave me a considerable advantage when auditioning for these parts. My parents both worked and I usually traveled alone when filming and during these productions. Buddy acted like a guardian to me. He really cared about me and looked after me like a brother.

I always admired his talents. The best thing about him was also the most annoying. He was awesome at everything he did, regardless of what it was. Whether he was playing football in school where he was an All-American, writing number one hit songs like “She’s Like The Wind” or making hit films likeDirty Dancing which he choreographed himself, it was pretty safe to say he was better than most people at everything.

You could start a butterfly collection and if Buddy was in the room, he’d say something like, “Oh, I went to the Olympics in butterfly catching in 88.” And most likely he did!

He was just so naturally gifted at everything and anything he put his mind to. He had such an infectious laugh that I will never forget. We rode horses together which may be the only thing I had the edge over him on. He taught me how to play beer games, strum a guitar and prepare a scene. Patrick was the one who broke it down for me on paper. He taught me how to read a script and approach the work professionally. He was the one that taught me how to make a ‘choice’ on film. Which is to choose one of about a million ways to play a character.

He had all the talent in the world and yet he never took himself seriously. He was always in a great mood and always wore a smile. This is Buddy in a nutshell for you. His brother Donny told me this story. Patrick had been waiting for the test results from the doctors when the phone rang. He listened intently as they told him that he had pancreatic cancer and probably less than a year to live.

He hung up the phone, looked over to Donny and said, “Shit, God Damn, I gotta’ get off my ass and jam.”

That was his reaction. He never felt pity for himself and he never wallowed in sorrow. He was an amazing guy and I will always remember him as my big brother.

I love you, Buddy! Greasers for life!”

Oh my fucking god. C Thomas Howell said all this about Swayze in 2011. They were brothers forever, man.
