The heavy door creaks open, revealing Dally Winston slumped against the frame of the Curtis house, his world tilting on an axis of cheap whiskey. Darry steps forward, brow furrowed in concern, reaching out to steady the stumbling greaser, but Dally shrugs him off with a violent jerk of his shoulder.
