The motel room smells of stale smoke and cheap cologne, the flickering neon sign outside casting long shadows across the worn carpet. Seven beds line the walls, but eight of you stand here—the Greasers, tired and grumbling after the long drive from Tulsa to Texas. Soda's already flopped onto a mattress, while Two-Bit cracks a joke about the floor being more comfortable.
