June 15th continued: Bottles of Beer, The Outsiders, and Matt Dillon

"Two-bit, shut up! Just shut up!" Dally yelled yet Two-bit kept on singing. Finally we reached Oklahoma city and Two-bit stopped for some strange apparent reason.

"That's it? We went through ninety bottles of beer on the wall and your not even gonna finish? I yelled.

"Yeah..." Two-bit replied, "Your right! Ten bottles of beer on the wall, ten bottles of beer..." Everyone groaned and Dally slammed his head on the horn making a long honking sound causing Angela to wake up.

"Hey! What the hell was that for? You know, Dally, your not the only one in this... Wow, he's still going at it?" Angela asked now noticing Two-bit.

"Yep." Steve said. Finally, to everyone's relief Two-bit ran out of bottle of beer on the wall and there was peace and quiet. This lasted for about five seconds. A whole car of girls came up. They waved, blushed, yelled, 'we love you' and a couple even flashed us and then all left.

"Well that was interesting..." Tim said.

"They were probably waving at Soda." Steve replied.

"Of course," Soda boasted, "they know a sex symbol when they see one!" Darry and me snickered. We knew some pretty childish secrets about the 'sex symbol'. Finally we came at this big motel, we parked, and we got out of our car like any normal poor, low-class, hoodlums. Then this group of girls passing on the other side of the street yelled.

"We love you Matt Dillon!"

"Who's Matt Dillon?" Dally asked.

"He's that star in that movie, what's it called?" I asked.

"The Outsiders." Johnny answered.

"Sounds like a cool movie." Dally said, "Soda must resemble one of the stars. Lets go see it tonight."

Five hours later in a hotel room:

I write these words and they may seem both strange and a little crazy yet I swear they were true. First off, the movie The Outsiders stared US!

"Look! I'm on T.V.!" Two-bit pointed and stared. All of us like it at first, Curly and Angela didn't because they weren't in it, but then it went from good to bad really fast. Johnny ended up killing Bob, then he ended up in the emergency room, then he ended up DYING, and Dally killed himself out of grief. We stayed for the credits and went down the names.

"Some sex symbol you are!" Dally yelled at Soda, "I'm Matt Dillon!" With that screaming fan girls chased Dally around the theater. He was finally able to loose them when we were outside. Everyone was inside, except for Dally and Soda because Dally was gloating as usual, the car talking about the movie when we heard a voice cry out and it turned out that Dallas's encounter with the fan girls was long from over. Soda had jumped inside grabbed one of my paper from my binder and wrote "WELCOME TO THE CORNER OF PAY BACK!!!" Dally was cursing at Soda as he took Dally's car and drove away. Even as I write I see the cold, tuff, Dallas Winston now coming over to the motel clad in nothing except his boxers covered with money symbols. Scratch that out, a girl just stole it.
