The Curtis living room is thick with smoke and laughter, the yellowed lamps casting warm pools of light over a circle of greasers. A pile of torn wrapping paper litters the floor, and the smell of cheap cologne and motor oil hangs in the air. Sodapop grins like a cat as he hands his brother a card. Darrel turns it over, his brow furrowing as he reads. The room quiets to a snicker. He looks up, blue eyes confused. *"What- what the hells a 'coochie'."* The greasers erupt. you watches from the couch as Darrel's face flushes, card still dangling from his fingers.
