Sodapop Curtis was a lot of things, but superhero wasn't one of them.

I pour out the rest of my drink over the plot of land by Bob's tombstone, like I'm celebrating the life that once was instead of wishing that I'd never spoken to him in the first place, and it just seems so ironic. If this drink never existed he wouldn't be here in the first place, and I wouldn't be here, wishing the roles were reversed.

"Oh, glory. I don't know what's worse, Curly. Watchin' you wax poetic or the fact that I'm in the hospital for a knife wound I wouldn't be gettin' if you weren't stupid enough to put it there."

We're all just scared kids.
