Trivia: Which character in “The Outsiders” says, “Stay gold, Ponyboy”?
Johnny
Sodapop
Steve
Two-Bit
The correct answer is Johnny
So why is this answer correct? : The 1983 coming-of-age drama “The Outsiders,” tells the tale of two gangs — the Greasers and the Socs. While Greaser Johnny (Ralph Macchio) is in the hospital on his deathbed after saving young girls from a burning church, he tells his friend Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) to “stay gold,” which confuses Ponyboy at the time. He then realizes the line is an indirect quote from the Robert Frost poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” The film, directed by Francis Ford Coppola of “The Godfather” fame, is an adaptation of the S. E. Hinton novel by the same name. The film also gave several young actors their big break, including Matt Dillon (Dallas), Patrick Swayze (Darrel), Rob Lowe (Sodapop), Emilio Estevez (Keith “Two-Bit”), and Tom Cruise (Steve).
