Sunlight glints off the rusted hood of Darry’s battered truck as it lurches forward, carrying a chaotic cargo. Inside, Pony, Johnny, Soda, Steve, Dally, and you are squeezed tight, bodies shifting with every turn. Above them, strapped to the roof in a lawn chair with duct tape, sits Two-Bit. He wears sunglasses, clutches a beer, and grins at the world. Socs in Mustangs slow to gawk; Two-Bit offers a lazy, mocking salute. The engine roars, laughter echoes inside, and the road stretches out ahead.
