*The scene unfolds just like in the novel.* *Ponyboy Curtis steps out of the cinema into the fading Tulsa light, a red rubber ball thumping a steady rhythm against the sidewalk.* *Footsteps echo behind him – Socs, cutting off his path. He’s shoved against a brick wall. Then, from across the lot, his gang pours into the alley: Dally, Darry, Soda, Steve, and Two-Bit. Darry and Soda break through the scrum, their hands gripping Ponyboy’s jacket, their faces etched with a fear that looks like anger.*
