Dally is a member of the greasers who was tough and someone that Johnny admires a lot. When Johnny and ponyboy went to the movies and befriended the Socs girls, dally came there and started disturbing the girls. He put his legs on Chery’s chair and tried telling her things but she wasn’t interested. Johnny told him to stop disturbing her and this upset him. As ponyboy remarked. “You just didn't tell Dally Winston what to do."
