Actually Two-Bit said that.
Ponyboy cries in front of Johnny because Darry slapped him, and Ponyboy has never been slapped.
Ponyboy never died, Johnny and Dally did.
Dally tries to change Johnny's mind, telling him he never wants to see Johnny hardened.
Darry is upset with Ponyboy because he had accidently fell asleep with Johnny at the drive in. Ponyboy realized it was late and has to go home while he left Johnny there. Ponyboy had went home to Darry who was yelling at him because he was worried. Darry let it get the best of him so he hit Ponyboy. Ponyboy had never been hit before so he didn't know what to do, but run away with Johnny. After they run away Darry realizes he did wrong.
Here are a few quotes from Johnny Cade in the book "The Outsiders": "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." "Sixteen years on the streets and you can learn a lot. But all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn." "I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me."
he never new ow smart johny was
when johnny and ponyboy were held up in that church they read gone with the wind and johnny was talking about how brave those southern gentlemen were. ponyboy meant that when johnny saved those little kids he was much braver then them.
What Johnny Cade was trying to tell Ponyboy (in the letter Ponyboy found in his copy of "Gone With the Wind", because Johnny never actually physically recited it) was that everyone changes, for the better or for the worst. Johnny told Ponyboy to stay gold because he knew Ponyboy was different than the other gang members and that he was under a lot of pressure from it. Staying gold meant, in a way, to stay yourself. Not totally sure about the answer....you can find the exact meaning at the end of the book.
To stay gold, which in literature means to stay strong, never give up, and achieve everything through hardwork and determination.
"Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold....." (< those were Johnny's last words)
A few similarities between the movie and book are that the movie still has the complete Greaser gang (Ponyboy, Johnny, Sodapop, Darry, Dally, Two-Bit, and Steve) and also Johnny and Dally still die in the movie but the movie begins with Johnny and Pony following Dally around town.when johnny kills bob and the rumble Now a few differences are that they dont have the court scene, Darry doesn't slap Pony he pushes him down; Pony isn't sick after Johnny and Dally die; the movie doesn't mention Mickey Mouse, (Soda's horse); Sodapop and Dally aren't blonds like they are in the book, instead they are brunettes; the church that Ponyboy and Johnny run away to isn't on a hill; when the church catches on fire pony and johnny doesn't save the kids in a hall way; randy doesn't visit Ponyboy after the rumble the book is a lot better than the movie because there is no detail left out and in the movie there's a lot . I have like 37 differences 1 is that the movie never mentions sodapops girl friend. They don't do acrobatic stuff off the porch. Ponyboy didn't fall asleep on Johnny's lap while riding the train. In the book Soda gives Ponyboy money (a check) Well in the book he didn't. Johnny never made a joke about Jerry about how fat he was. They mention that Marcia was from the south side instead of west side. At the beggining of the movie they never chased after those kids and picked on them in the book. Also the book was written in ponyboy's perspective and the movie was not the movie was written in everyone's perspective.
