Onyboy and Johnny meet up with Dally (Dallas) and go to the Nightly
Double drive-in theatre. They sneak into the drive-in, although the
admission is only 25 cents if you're without a car. They enjoy the
challenge of sneaking in because Dally hates to do anything the legal
way. Once inside, they sit in the chairs by the concession stand, where
they meet up with two good-looking female Socs. Cherry (Sherri) Valance
and Marcia have left their boyfriends here at the drive-in because the
boy's want to drink and the two girls do not. The girls are the target
of Dally's nasty and rude comments, but he buys them sodas to "cool them
off." Cherry throws her soda into Dally's face and the situation is
tense until Johnny steps in to defend her, which is surprising given
that Johnny worships Dally and considers him his hero. Fortunately,
Johnny is the gangs' pet, so Dally just stalks off without
confrontation. Two-Bit joins Ponyboy and Johnny, and he and Marcia hit
it off.
Kelly and Frank Dachille analyzed global geological evidence suggesting that one or more giant asteroids impacted the Earth, causing an angular shift in its axis, global floods, fire, atmospheric occlusion, and the extinction of the dinosaurs.
