Well, honey, when Ponyboy says that line, he's basically telling you he was all swooning over Paul Newman's dreamy eyes and hoping to catch a ride home. It's like saying he was leaving behind the movie magic for some real-life drama and a lift back to reality. So, in a nutshell, Ponyboy was just a teenage boy with a crush and a need for a lift.
