Ponyboy views Two-Bit as a close friend and a loyal member of their gang, the Greasers. He appreciates Two-Bit's sense of humor and his ability to lighten the mood in tense situations. Ponyboy also respects Two-Bit's toughness and his willingness to stand up for his friends when needed.
When Ponyboy asks the gang why they fight, everyone answers diffrently. Two-Bit does it to fit in. To feel like he fits in with everyone else. As Ponyboy says: "Two-Bit does it for conformity."
